    I wish the FCC would lighten up the amateur radio rules tho. Cool stuff like Meshtastic is happening outside of licenced bands and is taking off

        Or we could actually make some stuff in the US/EU for a change. I know it takes time but it’s probably for the best in the long run

          Tell me you don’t know how the global economy works without telling me you don’t know how the global economy works.

            Tell me you dont know how supply lock-in is a tool for geopolitics without telling me you dont know how supply lock-in is a tool for geopolitics.

              Looks like you’re the one confused here. Supply lock-in means what exactly to you?

              This appears to be a term you made up. What is supply lock-in returns no results.

              Perhaps you mean vendor lock-in which is actually what I am talking about and you don’t understand what vendor lock-in means.

                  Learn to understand search results?

                  That’s showing results for vendor lock-in.

                  This is a stupid hill to die on, why are several of you choosing to do so?

                  None of you have any idea what is required to build and even the simplest electronic product.

                We as a species make up terms on a daily basis, so I feel the liberty to do the same. Glad it doesnt give any results because it indicates original thought.

                If large parts of the supply chain consist of suppliers (vendors) on the other side of the earth, one can focus on one vendor lock-in or one by one (for analytical purposes) and optimise for that but often the bigger picture of a complex supply chain is missed.

                Hence the aggregated lock-in.

                  Just to be clear here, you made up a term and then claimed I didn’t know that term. And rather than address that you are glad that term doesn’t exist.

                  Tell me you are a never wrong without telling me you’re a never wrong.

                    Only thing I claimed was you missed the point of SomeAmateur, meaning one can understand global supply chain AND worry about depending on foreign entities using it in geo-politics, so mentioning counter measures (make some stuff ourselves for a change) is reasonable. I am wrong all the time by the way, I just adress a lot more in my comments which you choose to ignore. But alas, you are free to pick and choose just like everybody else.
