Intel Not Considering UK Chip Factory After Brexit
Intel not considering UK chip factory after Brexit:
The boss of Intel says the US chipmaker is no longer considering building a factory in the UK because of Brexit.
Pat Gelsinger told the BBC that before the UK left the EU, the country "would have been a site that we would have considered".
[...] Intel wants to boost its output amid a global chip shortage that has hit the supply of cars and other goods.
[...] "I have no idea whether we would have had a superior site from the UK," he said. "But we now have about 70 proposals for sites across Europe from maybe 10 different countries.
UK Public Now Eating Significantly Less Meat
UK public now eating significantly less meat:
[...] The new study, published in the journal the Lancet Planetary Health, revealed that while most people are eating less red and processed meat compared to a decade ago, they are eating more white meat.
High consumption of red and processed meat can increase the risk of health problems including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and even certain cancers.
Meat production also has a higher environmental impact - producing more planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions - than other types of agriculture and food production.

a lot of companies are thinking about starting non-cutting edge semi conductor productions for normal items
The majority of chips in a cars are (Intel) 8051 clones. No hi-tech there.
I am surprised no one is making PDP8 clones, when all you need is to look at one input and set another, they do the job, and with approx 1,000
gates (none of the Bill) they are really simple to make. Stop with the miniaturisation and get with 12V compatible I/O like it was in 1970, and all your
problems will go away. (skip the core memory though).

PDP-11 clone might be more useful. You could run Unix on it. If you can still get an old Unix that's small enough.
