How is the US gonna fine a company from Taiwan?
They use US tech in their foundries, and thus are subject to export controls to make sure sanctioned entities (like Huawei) don't benefit from it.

From the article, it sounds like TSMC's part in this was just negligence as Huawei used a front company to make the order for them — like a 14-year-old getting an adult to make a booze purchase. If they get fined, it seems unlikely it would be for the maximum amount.
Why do I get the feeling that the hot new thing for CEOs to do is ask AI whenever they need to make a decision. Would explain a lot.
Why did I think that happened years ago?
Oracle has been the most involved player for TikTok up to this point. Trump has also floated the idea of being government-owned.
The market wasn't expecting the tariffs to be as insane as they were — which is why it crashed. They had been expecting 10% maximums, not minimums.
Thunderbird's corp (MZLA) does not get Google money so far as i'm aware. It is a different subsidiary corp from Firefox's Mozilla Corp.
Yes. I'm assuming they mean W-OLED (the other kind of OLED) when they say OLED. Or else they meant to say uLED.
The Asus BT8 has recently had support added in snapshots.
DRM-laced streaming apps sadly makes that unlikely.
Kind of early to not see snow in that part of Finland, isn't it?

The issue is a TSMC-made chip ended up inside a Huawei processor. They're not allowed to make chips for Huawei or other US-sanctioned entities since they use US tech inside their foundries.
What happened here is that TSMC made chips for another Chinese company that gave them to Huawei (and is now on the sanctioned list as well as a result, but wasn't when TSMC made the chips). The problem for TSMC is if the US determines they should have reasonably known there was a risk the company they made the chips for would give them to Huawei.
