Lucky 13?
Oops #2: Borked on Bifrost. On our second most complex product ever, we had funky firmware. And some bad capacitors. The funky firmware makes no sense, because a dozen protos and betas were made and run around for almost a year before launch. It makes even less sense that Unison USB hasn’t been a problem at all—a much more complex bit of code than the firmware that ran the product. The good news is that Autonomy meant that we just had to provide new firmware, rather than pull all the products back. The bad news is that it happened in the first place. The capacitors? Luck of the draw. Schiity luck, but they are out of the system now, and the “desktop Yggdrasil” is taking off.
@Jason Stoddard (or anyone else who might be able to answer):
I was aware previously of the firmware upgrade for Bifrost 2 but I didn't know about the issue with the bad capacitors. I purchased my Bifrost 2 the day it was released. Is there a way to determine if mine might be a part of the bad batch of capacitors?
Thanks,
Matt
