EEVblog #676 - RANT: FTDI Bricking Counterfeit Chips!
FTDI have released a windows driver update that bricks any product using counterfeit chips.
A classic case of corporate suicide.
Dave breaks down "FTDIgate", and rants about FTDI's official response.
NOTE: The 2nd half of this video includes the original rant video before FTDI responded and withdrew their new driver.
FTDI's response: http://www.ftdichipblog.com/?p=1053
The forum thread that's going crazy!
