@maddiefuzz i prefer corruption to be consensual and sandboxed, not potentially irreparably caused by power failure
@maddiefuzz hm sounds like the opposite of what i posted
@tubetime ahh, i wasn't sure which part happened were, was just using "fab" as a catch-all term for the end product being manufactured, thanks for the insight!

So there is a (IMHO) shady market out there that gives app developers on iOS, Android, MacOS and Windows money for including a library that sells users network bandwidth. Infatica [1] is just one example, there are many more.
I am 99% sure that these companies are behind the effective DDoS attacks many webmasters have to deal with since months. This business model should simply not exist. Apple, Microsoft and Google should act.

@bea you posting this right after i yawned feels interestingly creepy. which camera did i forget to turn off this time
@bustletonauto the colour composition looks really neat on this one
@tubetime would it have made sense to have a fab produce that, or is that something that's a common by-product/dummy run/defective packages that happens often in chip fabs, and they just labelled it? do you think there's a chance it's rejected completely unrelated defective chips just relabeled?
i'm deathly curious to see a decap of one of those fake writeback pc chips cache from the 90s that weren't routed to anything on the motherboard
@suricrasia as an otherkin robot i'll allow it
actually did you know famicon was sharp's family convection oven first and the family computer was never called famicom for legal reasons until sharp and nintendo came to an agreement and that's how you have the sharp twin famicom and why nintendo got to call the sequel super famicom
