Bait bikes of a make/model make sense in a sufficiently bureaucratic organisation because it makes purchasing, tooling and technician training a hell of lot easier. Police cars (Crown Victorias) are obvious for the…
I'd be astonished if they use FPGAs in production kit. Once they get the circuit design right, even a modest quantity of (static) ASICs would be cheaper than FPGAs, and probably faster. That said, if this really takes…
It reduces energy usage, but also the useful lifespan of servers. Commodity servers can be pushed into different (lesser) roles when they get older, but specialty kit cannot. More specialty kit means more e-waste, and…
