@Grump The Horrible Did you ever use an EDM diesinker?

maybe?

not 100% familiar with that

EDM is often used for the final dimensions in injection moulding tooling.

ahh ok

You get a finely machined copper electrode in the shape of the final part.

@Grump The Horrible Wire EDM I think https://imgur.com/gallery/9avPrem

That's carbon steel.

I only had 2 years doing machining. prior to working doing that I had never done machining

woah!

nah thats perfect metal work .P

Tolerance of 0.003mm

^

that is perfect that must be down to the .00001"

you can do that trick with every material at those tolerances

still magical 😛

I do IT stuff now. I am getting a degree in Mathematics tho

Oh nice.

still grinding away atm

I need a job that will finance a family so I am trying to work at that

What kind of job would that be?

Cyber Security to cryptography

Are you going to tell all your clients to use AMD CPUs, whose security floors aren't anything close to the hilarity of Intel's?

(And are getting really damn skookum, great value.)

Most places I work at use Intel stuff

CPU's

Lol

yeah fun times

oh I know

the benefits of having foreign states make your shit

@Grump The Horrible Intel is a US company that has foundries in the US.

(As well as abroad.)

i forget wasn't there something like this where China was making hardware and firmware with hidden spyware?

yeah Intel is here in AZ

This just seems to be a hilarious flaw more than a deliberate back door.

it might have been a few years back

yeah I don't know I have only been doing IT work since this fall
