'Master' and 'slave': Tech terms face scrutiny amid anti-racism efforts
magic:
I was kidding. And I assume that if police rather than military is involved, they are talking about domestic terrorists rather than something like the Islamic State.

A good summary of the current state of progress... music software is moving away from master/slave too.

Also, OSHWA (not exactly the biggest and most prestigious hardware tech resource in the world, but still, not nobody) has published an alternative for SPI usage already that anyone can now pick up and use with documented precedent.

The next schematic sheet I do with SPI is going to conform to this. Lets see how people manage with it. I expect there will be zero people dying as a result of it.

Unless it escalates to a civil war in the West :P

It also occurred to me that your view of Middle Eastern politics is highly problematic. What's the alleged military oppression by the US and its allies? You see, the US just supported peaceful revolutions and toppled a few bloodthirsty dictators to create a power vacuum for The People to establish Liberal Democracy, which we hold self-evident is the way the Creator intended for all human beings to live. Did we already forget about Saddam Hussein's fascist regime? The Arab Spring? :P
