Since 1 November 2005, German passports have had a contactless smartcard (proximity card) chip and 13.56 MHz loop antenna embedded into the front cover page,[14] in accordance with ICAO standards. The chip and antenna are not easily visually recognisable, but their presence is indicated using the ICAO biometric passport symbol at the bottom of the front cover. It carries all the data printed in the passport, including a JPEG file of the photo, protected by a digital signature. Germany therefore became only the fifth country in the world (after Malaysia, Thailand, Sweden, and Australia) to introduce biometric passports.
In the second Bad Batch episode, we are reintroduced to the clone defector, Cut Lawquane. We also see how the inhibitor chips have affected regular clones across the board. My question is why is Cut not affected by the chip? From all the information we have on Cut, there's nothing to indicate that he's different from a regular clone; he's just a defector who wants nothing to do with the Empire. Is it possible that his isolation from the GAR weakened his chips' influence or something along that line?
From my understanding, the inhibitor chips arent just purely for order 66. They affect every aspect of a clone and after order 66, they seemed to strip regular clones of their individuality, as explored in the Bad Batch episode 1 and the Clone Wars season 7. This would surely still have some kind of affect on Cut?
The shift in market sentiment indicates a potential inversion of the historical dominance of CPUs over GPUs. As AI applications increasingly rely on GPU-intensive processes, such as large-language models, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang predicts a future where fewer CPUs are connected to millions of GPUs. This new paradigm favors GPU manufacturers and poses challenges for traditional chip makers.

Behavioral modification biochips, also known as inhibitor chips, control chips, and behavioral inhibitor biochips, were a type of organic bio-chip capable of dictating or responding to the thoughts of its host. Kaminoan cloners implanted them within each and every clone trooper in the Grand Army of the Republic at the third stage of their embryonic development. When they were activated, the troopers responded to take any order without question. This allowed the Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, secretly the Sith Lord called Darth Sidious, to initiate Clone Protocol 66, which wiped out nearly all Jedi marked for termination, and any soldier that did not comply with the order, would be executed for treason against the Galactic Republic. The Galactic Empire later employed these devices to keep in line its enslaved Wookiee population on Kashyyyk.
Behavioral modification biochips[7] were implanted in the clone troopers of the Grand Army of the Republic on the suggestion of Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas, who initially ordered the clone army, as a contingency against the clones being given orders by rogue Jedi.[2] According to Doctor Nala Se, it was not uncommon for clones of many different kinds to be implanted with inhibitor chips.[3] However, after the Sith hijacked the project, the chips were tooled to another purpose: to force the clones to comply with the execution of Order 66, which wiped out nearly all Jedi.[5] The control chips were extremely effective at taking over the minds of those who had been implanted with them, erasing all existing biases and beliefs in the clone troopers to force them to eliminate the Jedi without question.[8] The clones would believe their Jedi commanding officers were traitors[9] even if they had loyally served under them for years. The chips implanted inside the clone troopers could be activated by voice command, with Palpatine only needing to say "Execute Order 66" to do so.[5]
Clone troopers under the sway of their control chips would prioritize carrying out Order 66 above all else, including their own lives. Under this directive, any and all Jedi leadership marked for termination, and any soldier that did not comply with the order, would be executed for treason against the Republic.[10] Although they could still make rational decisions, they could not be reasoned with regarding the order, and would unhesitatingly go after even their own brothers if they realized that other clones were not obeying the order.[9] The brainwashed[11] clones were also aware of Palpatine's true identity as the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, with clone officers who received the order immediately addressing him as "Lord Sidious"[10] or "my lord,"[5] and clone troopers who had been completely unaware of the Supreme Chancellor's double identity beforehand referring to him by his Sith name.[9] Pre-activation, the chips also had the side effect of giving the clones nightmares relating to carrying out the command, which were described as a "mission" by some dying clones.[2] Clones under the sway of the chips occasionally used the phrase "Good soldiers follow orders."[8]
It was possible in rare cases[12] for some clones to resist the will of the chips and hesitate from executing the order, but the act was extremely difficult, and only removing the chip entirely could free a clone from the compulsion to carry out Order 66. Clones whose chips were removed after activation still remembered what they had done under its influence.[10] Even without its removal, the chips started to wear off and become less effective over time.[13]
Although extremely rare, a few clones were immune to the chips,[14] with the odds being particularly high for genetically defective or modified clones. Even if such clones were not immune, their mutations could still interfere with their chips' performance. In such cases, chips could be amplified to make clones totally loyal.[15] Immunity, however, was not absolute: it was possible for the chip to be fully activated and induce brainwashing as long as it remained present, through means such as head injuries.[14]
The chips were later installed in enslaved Wookiees by the Galactic Empire to keep them in line. Imperial Advisor Gallius Rax also had biochips installed in Rebel prisoners kept at Ashmead's Lock on Kashyyyk as part of an assassination plan against officials of the New Republic.[1] When the chips were discovered, they malfunctioned in a planned degradation before Republic slicers could learn much about them.[16]
The biochips were, as the name indicated, made out of biological material, specifically genetically engineered cells. The DNA of the chips' cells was different from that of the clones they were implanted in.[3] They were microscopic in size, and this combined with their biological nature made them extremely difficult to detect with standard medical equipment: it took a Level 5 atomic brain scan to find the chip inside the head of trooper Tup, after lower-level scans failed to register any anomaly.[2] Ahsoka Tano was later unable to detect Clone Commander Rex's chip with the standard medical facilities onboard a Venator-class Star Destroyer, relying instead on the Force to locate it.[10]
The inhibitor chip was located ninety degrees from the right orbital floor, below the parietal and temporal intersection, in the brain of the genetically defective clone commando Wrecker. However, as a mutated clone, he was structurally different in certain ways from a regular Jango Fett clone.[14] Clones who had had their chips removed sported scars on their right temples.[17]
The chips were durable, with malfunctions being rare:[18] out of the millions of clones that served in the Grand Army of the Republic over the course of the Clone Wars,[19] Tup[8] was one of only a few who suffered from chip malfunctions and the resulting erratic behavior.[18] However, a chip malfunction could also prove lethal, as after Tup's chip malfunctioned, it broke down and began to rot,[3] and his health began to deteriorate rapidly, culminating in his death shortly after the chip was removed.[2] Damage to the inhibitor chip could result in headaches: Tup complained of one just before his chip went haywire,[8] and Wrecker began suffering headaches connected to his chip[20] after a series of head injuries sustained post-Order 66.[21]
Prior to the Battle of Naboo, former Jedi Council member Master Sifo-Dyas contacted the Kaminoans to order a clone army for the Republic.[6] He provided them with the inhibitor chip to act as a safeguard against betrayal from rogue Jedi giving orders to the clones.[2] However, Sith Lords Darth Sidious and his new apprentice, Darth Tyranus, had Sifo-Dyas eliminated[22] and took over his project, keeping it a secret from the Jedi. They retooled the chips for Order 66, programming them to turn the clones against the Jedi upon hearing an activation phrase. Kaminoans like Lama Su and Nala Se seemed to believe the chip was still only in case of rogue Jedi.[2]
During the Clone Wars, the control chip conspiracy was nearly uncovered when the Order 66 function of the chip in clone trooper Tup was prematurely activated, causing him to execute Jedi General Tiplar during the Battle of Ringo Vinda.[8] Though the Jedi discovered the existence of the chips, they never learned of their true purpose: Chief Medical Scientist Nala Se claimed the chips were there to make the clones less aggressive than their clone template, Jango Fett, and to repress any insanity they may have inherited from him. In addition, ARC trooper Fives, who had been investigating the matter,[3] was killed by Clone Commander Fox of the Coruscant Guard. Afterwards, the official story was that Tup and Fives had both been infected with a rare Ringo Vindan parasite which caused their chips to break down.[4]
