A friend of mine wanted to attend the launch of a payload in FLA
that we had worked on for years. He canceled that a few days ago
because of that newfangled DOGE shit. You cannot let Trump's
ankle biters check / copy your company laptop.

I remember I didn't even get the soldering procedure for contemporary
Virtex FPGAs, let alone the chips, for stuff to end up on the ISS,
so I had to use prehistoric ones.

Needless to say, there won't be Xilinx in future projects here and it
won't be FLA but Kourou for takeoff.
It does not pay in the long run to piss off people.
