Curious news from Yahoo/Australia:

Warning after Qantas flights reportedly interfered with by Chinese warships
An Australian defence expert is warning the federal government to watch out for repeated communication interference after Chinese warships were suspected of messing with GPS systems on board Qantas flights.

In a note issued to pilots, Qantas confirmed some flights had experienced interference on VHF channels “purporting to represent the Chinese military,” the Guardian reported. The national carrier claimed ships off the northwest shelf of Australia are to blame for GPS jamming.

Professor Sam Drake from the Centre for Defence Engineering Research and Training at Flinders University says “unfortunately it is very easy to do”, but warned the Australian government might want to step in if the issue continues.

Jamming a GPS signal is a trivial matter.  Makes me wonder if they are planning to move on Taiwan.
Makes sense with our military in such a flaccid state and zero leadership.

I hope that someone walks through the TSMC production line with a burning highway flare.
The exhaust gasses will destroy their $2B machines.
A good quick way to cripple the crown jewels of today's technology.
Every bit of decent tech will be unobtanium for the next three to five years.
