Social media is scratching its head after this Maine Democrat's answer to a simple question:
What qualifications do you have to serve in the U.S. Senate?
Candidate Ashley Webb answered: "I ran for office several times, didn't win... I'm a songwriter... and I write my own books."
The moment is now going viral, with conservatives mocking the response as Democrats battle to replace former nominee Graham Platner.
Americans are making videos showing off their White Privilege and what “White Privilege” really means
These men show off how sweaty they are doing physical labor to earn money to pay taxes that will be handed over as welfare to people who don’t work
They are working to earn money to pay for their own housing, their own food
Seems like the real people who have privilege are the people who get free housing, phones, food, healthcare, cash assistance, kids paid for and every benefit known to man for free while other people have to work to pay for it….
End the welfare state in America
This is absolutely insane
1) 250,000 illegal voters were found in just 4 states
2) some elections are decided by like 10k votes in a swing state and we’re here with millions of illegal voters
3) the vast majority of Americans agree on voter id and proof of citizenship
4) the party that could pass this bill *simply by bringing it to a vote* has failed to do so for a year
This is the most bi-partisan support you can possibly imagine from the citizens, held back by a loser mindset and probably some degree of actual treason from the politicians
This is literally just insane
We are so cooked if we don’t fix this now.
台積電董事長魏哲家在最新發言中指出,目前成熟及特殊製程供應最吃緊的領域,主要集中在電源管理 IC(PMIC)與感測器兩大類別,顯示 AI 已成為成熟製程成長的最強動能。
隨著 AI 資料中心運算力與功耗同步攀升,PMIC 需求急劇增加。從 GPU、CPU、高頻寬記憶體(HBM),到 Power Rack 與高壓直流(HVDC)供電系統,都需要大量 PMIC 進行電壓轉換與功率管理。這些產品多採用 40/55/90 奈米等成熟製程,成為現階段需求最旺的應用。國內電源管理廠商如矽力-KY、力智、致新、茂達等,均直接受惠於 AI 伺服器電源市場的爆發性成長。
除了 PMIC,感測器需求也因 AI 全面滲透而大幅提升。工業自動化、機器人、智慧製造與邊緣 AI 裝置,都高度依賴各類感測器收集環境數據,再交由 AI 模型進行即時分析與決策,使感測器成為成熟與特殊製程的另一重點領域。
然而,台積電強調不能以偏概全。雖然 AI 相關應用供應吃緊,但受全球經濟不確定性影響,手機、PC 等一般消費性電子產品的標準化成熟製程需求依然疲弱,市場呈現明顯分化現象。復甦力道遠不及 AI 領域。
面對此結構性變化,台積電維持既定策略:不全面擴張標準化成熟製程,而是聚焦高附加價值與策略性應用。其中,日本熊本廠將支援 CMOS 影像感測器,德國廠則鎖定車用與工業領域,透過區域化布局就近服務客戶。
台積電預計 2026 年資本支出中,約 10% 投入特殊製程,成熟製程擴產將優先布局 PMIC、感測器、車用及工業等具長期差異化需求的市場。
