According to the august, sorry July, Wall Street Journal, a NY manufacturer, Botfactory, sourced a batch of semiconductors that didn't quite make the grade. A Botfactory senior engineer, according to the WSJ, bought chips that weren't quite up to grade.
Mr Andrew Ippoliti at Botfacrory, claims, the Journal said, many of the semiconductors didn't work.
Apparently this is a common thing. Let's hope that if we need a heart fibrillator or if we need to complete a Powerpointless deck, use an electronic toilet, or our smart refrigerator or digital assist fails to wake us up, we don't get caught short. You can view the report ici la. Botfactory makes 3D printers.
