And, “TSMC and ASML, currently, the only supplier of tools that could make cutting-edge 2nm chips, have added a ‘kill switch’ that will disable TSMC’s EUV machines remotely. According to Bloomberg.”
If you had physicial access to the machine, you could disable that feature. It would take some work since it must be baked into binaries, but far easier than creating a new EUB machine from scratch, I presume.
