Deutsche gonna Deutsche.

Recruitment tables should just have a banner that reads 'we've already spent your bonus on legal fees, here's some chocolate'

Whenever a Bank is sued, you can be certain a guy from Deutsche is somehow involved.

Please put up some screenshot or video. I would be very interested in this project since I need a lot of example video content for LED applications.

Okay, this means reducing Innovation to a bare minimum I guess. It is baffling to me, how this giant company manages to suck at everything they touch. They managed to be unrelevant in every trend over the past decade.

This collective of stooges of the European content industry seems to be somewhat irrelevant. Never even heard of one of their "prominent" supporters. This seems like one of the thousand attempts to protect the very mediocre European domestic content industry. As a German, I have seen so many of such initiatives, often even funded by universities or state near bodies.

Now it needs to be integrated with atopile.

It'd be nice to be able to describe the circuit as simple code, compile it, and then get it in the mail a couple of days later.

WOW. These two projects must be the most esoteric hardware projects out there. Why should anyone use code for hardware? This flux thing seems only to be useful for simple hobby projects.

It is a bummer that 802.11ah did not took of. This technology has a lot of potential and the implementation is pretty easy, also for ultra low power applicatons. But for some reason, no one is using this technology.

Sadly, the bandwidth of the devices is not given anywhere. Would be really interesting for certain applications. This is very helpful in medic applications like MRI.

FPGAs have never made sense. They're way too expensive to use in volume. There's no practical use case for "cool, I can reprogram the chip in the field to implement different functionality". Nobody has figured out how to usefully integrate them with a CPU to make a low-volume SOC. CPUs became so fast that most applications don't need customer hardware. Regular gate arrays are cheaper and faster above minimal volume.

They seem to only have been useful for prototyping and military applications (low volume and infinite budget).

Consumer application and FPGAs are an oxymoron in itself. FPGAs are used in applications requiring special interfaces, special computing units or other custom requirements. If there is enough demand, SoCs are developed for these applications, but this is only useful in mid to high volume production. Areas like the ones you gave and many more are making heavy use of FPGAs. I work in medical for example. We are using custom designed chips for special detection purposes. But when it comes to data processing and interfacing with computers, we use FPGAs.
