It's 1990, maybe 1999, in embedded land.

It was a forced acquisition, iirc they made promises to Altera to get them to use their foundry, failed to keep those promises and could either get sued and embarrassed or just buy Altera outright for about what they were worth before the deal.

No, there was a DIY diode prob with a headline number high enough, but I think he said real world performance would be about 8ghz, that's only part of the problem anyway. I had a look, I can't find the forum post or the podcast he was on (amphour). Either rent an appropriate USB analyzer or scope. If you just want to verify the speed of your consumer equipment look for a software solution to measure throughput (there is significant protocol overhead). At the required speed you can't even use BNCs.

Asif they don't have a handheld XRF to check everything that comes off the truck, the concern is the quality.

In risk capital businesses making money from side deals/gigs has long been acceptable, but there has always been a line and Sam danced right over even the most generous conception of it and was duly removed.

He has a Victoria Cross (Medal of Honor equivalent), you basically have to be mental and not care for your own life to get one, so we shouldn't turn around and be shocked when they don't value the lives of the enemy and their supporters.

If they didn't copy the peripheral blocks, then all they did was implement the ARM IP just like ST Micro did in a way to be pin to pin compatible with the STM32 chips. Happy to learn otherwise. I wouldn't put them in a real product for many reasons but this is not one of them.

How many times do we need to fight the same battle? Where I live Netflix has a fast lane and from 6:30pm to 10:30pm every night my internet is unusable.

3000y is far too little to do the dev work to bring the software up to par

imo the failure to ramp up production is the unforgivable part

For a guy with a private jet, Sacks has the worldliness of someone who has never had a passport. As soon as the conversation ventures outside the USA he makes basic factual errors but delivers it with all the confident bluster we have come to expect from VCs.

Revoke his bail! He has always been a major flight risk due to the possibility that he has squirreled away many millions via crypto. 250m of surety has not been provided and now due to the use of a VPN we cannot be assured he has not already made arrangements to flee and or tampered with witnesses.

It was prob the bikies that are associated with the union - a lot of drug money is washed via real estate development

The state politician who set the anti terror squad on friendlyjordies is more concerning from a freedom standpoint

This is why he should never have been given bail - a sophisticated schemer that has an answer for everything and never gives up

At least we might yet find out who paid said bail cough marc cough
