> we'll be either supporting local workers or friendly nations

Are there any friendly nations left?

What about buying some largest-in-the-world microcontrollers from Russia?

  • While I like the joke, Russia is actually making its own original microcontrollers, for example see K1921VG015 (RISC-V 32/50 MHz/1M flash/256K SRAM/square 100-pin package). The $6 price tag seems a little bit expensive to me but well the developers want to eat something too. There are also ARM-based microcontrollers (much more expensive), and of course (even more expensive) famous Elbrus CPUs with unique VLIW architecture.

  • so called macrocontrollers, indestructible if Ivan on that day didnt start drinking early morning
