No, and glad that's the case. I don't need the extra hassle! I make simple niche stuff.

But, it doesn't really matter, some Chinese guys saw they could make few dollars by knocking off my PCB, making it cheaper, using cheaper components, and copying my code. It's not like it was a $40,000,000 product line.

I tell people it's how I know I'm not completely shit. That the Chinese thought it good enough to clone/steal. It's how I know I've made it.




Well, that's how it is.

Just saw that you had few posts telling that you lived in Malaysia, and thought that you may be somebody I know.

Why not to copy their design?

My dad told me, that, ‘character’ is just the things you do when no one is looking.

So how much can you have when you tell the world you are a cheat?
