Wow that's interesting, sadly immigrants have to cheat the system, cant play by the rules like this, I'm sure he learned his lesson, bullshit till you make it

Those are very good points. Totally agree, the vast majority of people are gonna be careful and display caution staying at home etc.. I think covid vaccines should be compelling by their efficacity and safety. This is all so stringent for something so rightly divisive

one objective is to have affordable and perfomant global connectivity

I don't quite understand why some are riled up for this? It's a single product line(for now a single product). It's understandable an industrial control board warrants the extra QA, manufacturing and layout quality. In their shoes I would also ask the Chinese: "Hey can you design your own layout, with it's own branding and name?"

It’s not really an “industrial control” device. By brief inspection, it’s a BGA SoC breakout with 1.8V or 3.3V logic levels, directly from the SoC to the outside world.

An industrial device like a PLC would have galvanically isolated 24VDC digital inputs, 0-10V and 4-20mA galvanically isolated analog I/Os and galvanically isolated, short-circuit tolerant 24V high-side driver outputs, a case with a DIN mount and screw terminals.

This device is no more “industrial” than any other SoC.

How's it sad? How does it affect you? They made it clear they want to protect customers from low quality clones

In my experience, "low quality clones" means "clones that work perfectly well but don't bring in any of the money we spent on R&D", which is fair.

Usually they work just fine, and at home, I buy knockoffs for my hobbyist projects.

At work? Only name-brand stuff. A consistent product and process is more important than saving a couple bucks.

It's ironic because Arduino is all about FOSH, except for the one thing that might actually get used in the "real world."

Just for your reference none of the major auto companies do mid-range vehicle ADAS in-house (Higher-end vehicles and Halo product vehicles maybe sometimes).

There is no Peugeot LDW, there is just a bunch of OEM suppliers (Bosch, TRW, Mobileye, Continental, etc.) who do that for auto companies.

So raining on Peugeot because it is somehow second tier is misleading and misinformed because the electronics you find in a Peugeot ADAS sys, you will equally find in all other mid-range vehicles in the market.

So one of those failing would be a pretty big deal because it would apply to many models across many auto brands.

Tesla had something like 31 Billion in revenue in 2020 and as an example Bosch had about 71 Billion in revenue for the same period. If there was a case to sue lawyers would be jumping on it.

Are you confirming what I said or? It's pretty well known car brands integrate and work on various preexisting parts platforms

Dang that's wild

I wonder if the moderator of HN gets a ping every time his name is mentioned like this. “Why did someone summon me on a Lego thread? Oh ok, just an exclamation.”

I love these paragraphs so accurate. Truth hurts I guess, womyn at FB were DONE with the guy who published a description of their lives to the world.

It actually makes alot of sense, Siemens and supplyframe will tremendously benefit from this!

Care to detail why and how? Genuinly interested.

Siemens gets to cater to makers and homebrew electronics diyers. Supplyframe gets all the talent, tech, capital and parts Siemens has!

Research shows touchscreens are much more dangerous. Even voice control is more dangerous than buttons in all but a few cases (siri and Tesla bad, Toyota okay, etc.).

What research? how is it more dangerous? If your tesla regulates AC well and spotify doesn't play Ads or bad radio signal or bad songs. Then you don't have a need to touch the buttons of the radio or the AC. Why the touchscreen is there, is to have nice entertainment while you're charging!
