Annoyingly, it gets through the entire article pretty much without explaining what the hell JLCPCB is, assuming that you must know what they are. It appears to be a Chinese PCB (printed circuit board) manufacturer, where you can send them a schematic and they will make a PCB of whatever you desire. It appears that they are now limiting who they take orders from, and it seems likely that other Chinese PCB manufacturers will take the same step in the future.

Overall I enjoy reading Hackaday’s articles, But this was too much “inside baseball” since they didn’t bother explaining what JLCPCB was.

Thanks for saying so, because honestly I would have assumed anyone reading hackaday would know who/what they were. Like the author I was clearly wrong.

I chose to read it as JCLDS-PCB, which didn't help.

That’s some impressive dyslexia/letter addition you got there!

[–] Pissmidget@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I simply chose to read it as that, as my head was not up for dealing with the letter soup that was the name.

Chip wars. Probably has something to do with the US telling the Dutch to seize control of Nexperia.

Imagine if China seized Intel. Surely the response from the west would be far more severe.
