      no, you’re thinking about it wrong. The whole point of a doomsday machine is useless if it’s countered by simply being known about.

      China knowing how TSMC has their delete key working, shouldn’t make a fucking difference, on whether or not it works. If it does, it’s not a very good delete key, because china probably already knows how it works, as well as the US.

        You need to watch Dr. Strangelove or: how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb by Stanley Kubrik friend.

          probably, i’m just repeating standard rules of security practice though. If it’s only secure because someone doesn’t know about it. It’s not secure.

          I highly doubt TSMC is doing anything less than the state of the art practices with regards to this problem.
