Counterfeit Chinese Microchips Are Getting So Good They Can’t Be Identified @ Business Insider: This is where it gets a little bit scary,” Feuchtbaum said. “There’s a continual race that there are quality control checks on the genuine products that the counterfeiters can’t copy. And those are good, and they work, but usually only for a period […]
