## Summary

Dave Jones and Chris Gammell discuss various hardware development challenges, including Jones's struggle with a New Haven Display that went out of stock after he designed it into his power supply project. They also cover Jones's frustration with IT Studios providing vague feedback on a PCB Gerber file, leading to production delays. The conversation extends to industry commentary on R&D spending, citing a Booz Allen study, and the ethical implications of buying and modifying knockoff Saleae logic analyzers.
