:phew:lol its owned by altium. i think eevblog was started because altium was evil enough for dave jones to quit. they have all sorts of loony toon ideas about what service model the future will be . the usual crack pipe dream of running a zero employee money machine it seems like a pretty predatory company lol defending altium for anything on eevblog lol. i think they even tried to harass this website before. mad people agree that its a pretty bad company and they run it like the FBI, look at this one, 3 year case built against some guy that got scammed on a license! not sure the stasi would wait 3 years! https://www.eevblog.com/forum/altium/sued-by-altium-dont-do-what-i-did!/ |

Octopart is indeed part of the Altium "family". I tend to avoid it as there are more grey market sellers in Asia on there than trusted distributors so I don't see the point unless it's excrement heading in the direction of the fan time. I use findchips instead, they only have distributors on there that I'd trust other than LCSC of course, they will list crystals made by TKD, yes I wrote that round the right way, and their logo in totally not a copy of the old TDK logo.... but by the time it hit findchips it was being called TDK, but then I did ask for it and then removed that part that the work experience student probably put in our library. |

Lot of companies start as being nice companies that care about their customers but once they start to grow they just go the full capitalist route where the only thing they care about is maximizing their profits at all and any expense. --- End quote --- Capitalism, yes, it's very sad that people won't work for free. |
