operational transconductance amplifiers I bought on over 6 years ago. Date code doesn't make sense given that Intersil discontinued the over a decade ago. The real chip should have a diode across pins 4 and 5. Only one chip seems to have it -- but it is reversed. The rest have resistors between pins 1 and 4, and between 4 and 5, consistent with an op amp that provides offset null pins. Pin 8 also seems to be connected. Both 1 and 8 should be NC.

Someone has decapped one of these fake CA3080 ICs that have been selling on EBay as early as 2011.

https://huebnerie.de/2011/01/beware-of-the-fake-ca3080e/

The die mask claims to be LM4250. I already destroyed 2 of them trying to guess the pinout, but using the pinout of the LM4250 seems to work with 7 of them. They behave just like a jelly bean op amp.

At least the single rail circuit works with these counterfeit chips. Maybe I'll turn them all into blinkies and Schmitt triggers.

"In 1987, Reagan’s appointees to the Federal Communications Commission abandoned the Fairness Doctrine that required media with a public license to present information honestly and fairly. Within a year, talk radio had gone national, with hosts like Rush Limbaugh electrifying listeners with his attacks on 'liberals' and his warning that they were forcing 'socialism' on the United States.

Arizona Grand Jury Indicts 18 in Connection with Republican Fake Electors Scheme

Criminal Defendant Don-the-Con Trump is referred to in the indictment as “Unindicted Coconspirator 1.”
Among the indicted are Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, John Eastman, Christina Bob, Boris Epshteyn & Mike Roman.

And 11 Republicans who acted as “fake electors” to cast for criminal Donald—each of whom were charged with conspiracy, fraudulent schemes and artifices, fraudulent schemes and practices, and six counts of forgery.

Tyler Bowyer, Chief Operating Officer for Charlie Kirk’s TPUSA.

Boris Epshteyn, former on-air commentator for Sinclair.

Arizona electors went to the winner President Biden.

fyi- to nazi charlie ... there were no "republican electors" that is why the republicans are being arrested and charged with crimes because republicans were fraudulent electors.

Bisher standen an dieser Fahrradstraße "1,5m Abstand. Danke!" Schilder. Überholen ist dort unmöglich.

Nun hat irgendjemand in der Gemeinde und/oder im ADFC festgestellt, dass diese Straße außerorts liegt.

Also stehen jetzt 2m Abstand auf den Schildern. Überholen ist dort immer noch unmöglich.

@guyjantic

Hence mostly why I am not religious.

If "god" is so awesome, then why does he take great people away from here, like my father, for example. He worked for Boeing for a million years, properly retired, was ready to travel the world and do nature photography, not do any harm, and plan was interrupted a WEEK after he retired. Ya know?

So because of that any many other hypocracies, I had to decline all religions.

"È una fake news" dicevano. Ormai per qualsiasi verità scomoda, basta bollarla come , chi la diffonde come complottista, e tutto si risolve.

Con il "piracy shield platform" Italiano, nella migliore delle ipotesi stanno facendo una figura di merda a livello globale, nella peggiore stanno mettendo su un sistema che va oltre il grande firewall cinese.

Questa è l'email che ho ricevuto oggi da : un mio sito (niente di importante per fortuna) è caduto nel ban del piracy shield perché questi signori hanno bloccato un IP di cloudflare che ovviamente è condiviso da migliaia di siti legittimi e perfettamente legali.

Io mi chiedo come si possa bloccare indiscriminatamente un indirizzo IP senza neanche fare un whois, ma soprattutto come si possa dare un potere così grande ad un ticket aperto da qualche centralinista di sky o dazn, che non sa neanche di cosa sta parlando.

Non commento il presidente di agcom che ieri piangeva in parlamento che Google non gli vuole bloccare gli IP a livello di dns perché sarebbe un precedente mondiale... gne gne gne.

Documented cases of elections interference by a foreign actor:

Facebook: yes
Twitter: yes
Google/Doubleclick: yes
TikTok: no

You may think that the latter is just lack of investigation, and you may even be correct, but the overall finding will hold nonetheless.

@osma One does tend to think about the ban in more through the lens of economic protectionism than about moral, social, child protection or internal security.

As a foreigner, my impression of US government has long been one of favouring speaking in rhetorical flourish when it in-fact is merely protecting it’s class 1 citizens: the big companies that make up it’s .

It is not an oligarchy as plain as Russia, but not immune to the same every now & then. 🤔

Economic protectionism is obvious. Every nation/union does it, they all have their own, often rational reasons for it, and not expecting it to happen would be the height of folly.

This isn't even about that. This is political theater in place of implementing strong privacy protections. Why are they not implemented? Commercial lobbyism is part of it, but don't forget the security apparatus is a large customer of data harvesting operations.

"Researchers who studied the issue have found that undocumented immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than American citizens. From 2012 to 2022, undocumented immigrants were 14% less likely to be convicted of murder and 41% less likely to be convicted of any criminal offense. Similar research by Michael Light at the University of Wisconsin found lower rates of "homicides, sexual assaults, violent crimes, property crimes, traffic and drug violations" among undocumented immigrants."

Als Info zeigen wir den Bericht "Achtung, Fake: Dieses Schild gibt es in Hannover nicht" vom 07.06.2017 der Hannoversche Allgemeine. Dort steht u.a. "Aktuell macht in sozialen Netzwerken eine Falschmeldung die Runde: Dabei wird angeblich ein Schild von einem Spielplatz in Hannover gezeigt. Darauf steht: “Spielplatz für Kinder und Kinderinnen. Aufenthalt von 7 bis 20 Uhr gestattet”. Dieses Schild gibt es nicht."

Coup planned that lasted for days, an intervention by that they presumed to be loyal to Trump, and a vice president who upended his constitutional duties, allowing the U.S. to descend into chaos.

The criminal defendant repeated . Chesebro and Trump used and corrupt Republicans to have endless chaos in Congress would prove that the legislature could not certify a winner. That stalemate, they theorized, would force to act.

Chesebro provided a legal framework in which was —to cause enough confusion & chaos that the republican would have to get involved in picking the president. His plan envisioned several gambits which have now become familiar building blocks of the legal portion of the coup & the basis for criminal charges across the country: creating slates of , having Pence refuse to count Biden’s electoral votes on Jan. 6, and ultimately tossing the whole issue to the .
