  - **耳朵制造战争** (2026-04-21T07:30:58.000Z): Moreover, there will be details disclosed about the collaboration with terafab in the coming weeks, it's really hard to say. I originally wanted to sell call options to earn some rent, but after think
  - **LipBu Tan** (2026-04-21T07:41:57.000Z): After working for half a year and reaching 100, I feel the bubble and sentiment are a bit excessive. It's highly likely to come back in the second half of the year.
