If you are into electronics design and gadget making, this book is a must-read. Also, I've never felt closer to the world of Gibsons Cyberpunk than while reading part two of this book.

Nevermind the guy not knowing what he is doing with the differential pairs, but it looks like kicad is getting some really powerful routing features like push&shove. That will really set it apart from many other free solutions.

I'd rather it'd be called "Falsius" instead. Much more fitting, eh?

For some reason, seeing Linux in my clothes washer just made the whole "total world domination" thing more real.

And kudos to Samsung for making it easy to get the source code. Of course, I'll keep the machine off of the network, just to be safe 🙂

Hmhm, aha.

Hmhm, aha. Die Grenzwerte gelten nur für den Labortest und nicht für den Betrieb auf der Straße. Das klingt total plausibel, VW!

How Qualcomm decided to acquire NXP:

How Qualcomm decided to acquire NXP:

So, there's BigBank. BigBank has a problem, they have a lot of cash laying around that is actually costing them. They have no idea how to make use of it but they need to turn it into profits. One day, they have a brilliant idea:

BigBank (dials Qualcomm number): ring ring

Qualcomm: "Hello?"

BigBank: "Hello, we have a few billion $US left over, can you do something with the money?"

Qualcomm: "Let me check... No, actually we don't have the bandwidth to funnel this amount of money and turn it into profit. It would be a liability for us, too."

BigBank: "But could you not just buy something? Anything, please? We offer top conditions, low interest, in fact no interest, just help us get rid of the cash!"

Qualcomm: "Hmm, now there's an idea. We only know about making silicon chips, lets check who else does that, makes at least some marginal profit from it and hasn't been sold in a while... NXP!!!1!"

BigBank: "Wonderful idea! We give you the money, you buy NXP, we share the monies!"

Qualcomm: "Done Deal!"

(BigBank and Qualcomm off stage left, chuckling)
