To think that in the event of a grand catastrophy, the fragile supply chain and library of knowledge for making computer chips would collapse.

We could fall back to typewriter terminals, ham radio -like internet, and magnetic tape storage. But without the CPU, it would take centuries to make a modern computer again.

Aside from RISC-V, I don't know what the plan for longevity is.
