The results were impossible: the chip ran 20% faster than the spec sheet allowed. I realized too late that these weren't counterfeits—they were advanced hardware trojans designed to take control, and my boss had already signed the manifest.\n        \n        ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/LXiX31rrbwLw9J62kpK9WBDgYoaVWl0Q2rRKU2SJbyk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQxNDMwLzE2ODM1/ODM1MzMtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
