I thought fabs are bad agains earthquakes
There was a good LTT where he toured a new fab facility in Japan. Entire building(s) basically on giant shocks. It's kind of mind blowing
This one will be designed to work during earthquake. Meaning that it won’t work without earthquakes
Is there anything that's good against earthquakes?
Godzilla?
Mr. Godzilla, i would like one RAM please 🙏
Godzilla blesses you with a large dose of radiation.
Ahhhh, not what i was looking for! 🫠 Guess that's what i get for asking a kaiju for PC components though 😅 I'll have to remember this for next time
Living in the sky

They are. But Taiwan is prone to earthquakes as well and seem to handle them fine
Those fabs in Taiwan, even though they look like plain boxes from the outside, are really a wonder of human ingenuity. Each machine that’s sensitive to quakes is on a vibration isolation pedestal and that pedestal is seismically braced, from what I’ve read.
Not to mention every building in Taiwan is laced with explosives in case China ever attacks…
