Their main product is easy to understand if you strip away the jargon on their website. If you have a LAN in one place and want to extend it to someplace else, or connect two LANs, their Bullet creates a WiFi "bridge". We have a Ubiquiti Bullet on our boat[...]

I'm puzzled. I looked up AEC-Q200, and I assume that "commercial grade product" is simply pre-AEC-Q200 (is that right?) but I cannot see what differentiates suppliers once they have achieved the standard. Do they have patents? Secret know-how about produci[...]

Reads fine on my laptop in every respect.[...]

The Gumshoe changed servers. Yes, there are issues. Do what upham77 says.[...]

@pair - Well, yes, all perspectives have value, but I can't bear the kind of venomous, spiteful, vitriolic comment that (unusually) is here in this thread. I don't use any social media now except for a very small number of investment forums, of which this [...]

James Dyson, one of the UK's most successful entrepreneurs, says that the money is in ideas, R&D, and patents. I believe he contracts out most of what he calls "assembly". So that's a negative. But I'm intrigued by all those patents that Foxconn claims to[...]

The UK Telegraph newspaper recommended SQM today (14 Feb 2018, Business section, page 6, behind a paywall) in their "Questor" column - "speculative buy" at $53.95, 2.7pc yield, 8,5% ROC (is that right? seems low), P/e 36. Not attractive to me at this price[...]
