iNow Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 Nobody but you cares, Serg. From Axios: The U.S. has "highly credible" intelligence the Kremlin is planning to organize "sham referenda" as a pretext to annex occupied territories in eastern Ukraine into Russia sometime in mid-May, a top U.S. diplomat warned yesterday. The aggressive step could coincide with Russia's May 9 "Victory Day" holiday. Some Western officials believe Vladimir Putin will use the occasion to declare war on Ukraine officially, and fully mobilize Russia's reserve forces.

So much for the vaunted Russian Armed Forces. I guess V Putin won't be having his cancer surgery anywhere in the West. Let us hope that while he's out, saner heads prevail.

Boilers, industrial engines, assembly lines, bulldozers, ventilation equipment and much, much more rely on these chips that are now very difficult to get. It seems clear that dishwashers and refrigerators are being sacrificed for the war effort. But this too is a red herring. We should start talking about war crimes and their punishment.

Why remove the chips from the dishwasher, if on Aliexpress you can, for example, buy Arduino Nano controllers for $ 1 apiece or a more powerful Arduino Duo for $ 5 apiece Form factor is likely an issue here, as Phi notes. Can you plug an Arduino into a socket for the chip? No? Then it’s hardly a replacement, even before considering if anyone is shipping them to Russia.
