      Wow thanks allot for the heads up!
      I just looked and my cheap-ass ODBII cable for my BMW seems to use this fake chip!
      I took these photos of it in March of this year, after having fixed some of the worst soldering on it!

          Xiaomi router freezes at boot after re-capping
          by hinisa
          I'm using Xiaomi Router 4A gigabit edition as wireless repeater. It worked fine for 2 years or so, but last week, wireless started to disappear.

          When I unplug/replug the power, it was working fine for a day/half a day or so until it freezes again.

          After testing with different power supply adapters and concluding it wasn't the issue I finally opened the case and this was the situation:

          Dell 34 inch U3419W Monitor with thin stripes on partial screen
          by ChristianBr01
          Hello everyone,
          I have a Dell U3419W Monitor that has some thin stripes on a part of the screen since Tuesday.
          This lines cover about a third of the screen and appear for 2 seconds before disappear for another 2 seconds.
          This repeats the whole time. I have not opened the case yet cause I had no time, but will try to fix it on this weekend. For me, it looks like a problem on the TCon... Am I right?
          Does someone have seen this before?...
