  Ok, we've changed to that from https://boingboing.net/2020/01/23/proprietary-carbon.html https://boingboing.net/2020/01/23/proprietary-carbon.html. Thanks!

        I probably should have been able to guess, but it wasn't clear to me! I clicked this thread thinking "uh, that's weird, what does the chip actually do?"
