Thank’s for looking up those Tachyum patents and for your detailed explanation,
@Diogenese. While semiconductor tech in general is very much over my head, I do understand you are practically excluding that Akida is involved.
Now that your ogre has long since retired, may I suggest an alternative in the form of an illustration by German humorist, poet, illustrator, and painter Wilhelm Busch (1832-1908), whose most famous work,
Max und Moritz – Eine Bubengeschichte in sieben Streichen (
Max and Moritz: A Story of Seven Boyish Pranks), was published in 1865. Busch’s black humorous tale, written entirely in rhymed couplets, was illustrated by the author himself and remains a beloved classic of German literature to this day.
A lesser known of his tales is called
Diogenese and The Bad Boys of Corinth (1864), about another terrible duo, harassing your namesake, the ancient Greek philosopher, who was quietly lying in his barrel, thinking, when the mischiefs arrived on the scene.
Well, those bad boys ultimately meet their untimely demise, just like Max and Moritz do (
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_and_Moritz), and the old cynic crawls back into his barrel, chuckling contently.
The story’s penultimate illustration would serve well as a replacement for the ogre, whenever you feel pestered by us non-techies...
