## Summary

Dave Jones and Chris Gammell discuss finding bugs in high-end oscilloscopes from Rigol and Rohde & Schwarz, highlighting the complexity of modern embedded firmware. They analyze the market for cheap RISC-V microcontrollers, specifically comparing the RV32I10 to alternatives like the PUYA PY32, and discuss Google's canceled Coral development board. The conversation also covers the complexity of automotive wiring harnesses, the bankruptcy of Lightyear, and skepticism around carbon credits and ESG scores.
