With Wavecrest, Integrators Learn the Best Way to Solve Power Problems is by Preventing Them Upfront

August 14, 2026 by Ted Leave a Comment

Two Wavecrest power conditioning devices

As our industry has transitioned from the retail consumer electronics trade to the more sophisticated, professionally installed home automation and smart home systems based on IP networks with sophisticated and sensitive control systems, the game has changed. Sensitive equipment like the electronics being installed today can be susceptible to power supply quality issues. This can lead to system performance problems, equipment failures, reduced system lifespans, unhappy clients, and profit-robbing additional truck rolls to try to solve often vexing, intermittent conditions.

Now integrators can offer an affordable and effective solution called Wavecrest that prevents these problems from occurring in the first place.

The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the largest contract manufacturer in the world of chips used in a wide variety of tech products, including for data centers for AI solutions, has informed clients that it will be raising prices for both advanced and mature chip production services by as much as 10% or more in 2027.

Exposé Reveals Big Tech is Hiding From Investors the True Amount of Debt Taken On to Fund AI

July 23, 2026 by Ted 2 Comments

In a surprising exposé resulting from a deep investigation by the Nikkei, we have learned that Big Tech is engaged in questionable practices in order to conceal from investors the true amount of debt they are taking on to pursue building out their AI infrastructure with more and bigger…and more expensive…data centers. How big of a deal is this? Huge! In the last four years, debt not reflected on five of the big AI tech companies’ balance sheets – known as “hidden debt” – totals an estimated $1.65 trillion. Yes…trillion, with a “t”.

See how Big Tech companies get around reporting the true level of AI-connected debt…

AI is a Little Too Artificial & Unintelligent; Ford Rehires Engineers Fired for AI

July 2, 2026 by Ted 3 Comments

After turning product quality over to AI, Ford was forced to rehire 300 engineers

For a few months now, we’ve been seeing a moderation in enthusiasm on Wall Street for Artificial Intelligence (AI) investment. On several occasions, a major tech company would announce a new multi-billion-dollar investment to acquire chips or other AI technology…or to build huge data centers to train LLMs…only to see their stock value crash. In a nutshell, investors are coming to believe that there is no way AI can hit a level of success great enough to repay the now trillions of dollars of collective investment by big Tech to create it.

Then, this week, Ford Motor Company announced it would rehire more than 300 engineers who had been let go to turn their jobs over to AI. Ford admits its AI ambitions failed and has rehired these “graybeard” veteran engineers with decades of experience to improve product quality.

Learn how AI attitudes appear to be changing…
