## Summary

Dave Jones of EEVblog and Chris Gammell of Contextual Electronics discuss Jones being flagged on a US government watch list by Element14, the complexities of open-source hardware definitions, and the supply chain issues surrounding the BeagleBone Black. They also analyze Tektronix's new MDO3000 mixed-domain oscilloscope, debating its market positioning and the 'innovator's dilemma' as it abandons the entry-level market, and touch on DARPA's SHIELD program for component authentication.
