Even Apple had to change. Not perfect, but a clear step forward.

📍 States like Oregon, Minnesota, and California are now enforcing repairability laws. That means:.• Spare parts must be available.• Repair docs must be public.• Third-party fixes must be allowed

Crosstalk shrinks your eye diagram and crushes timing margins.

It reduces signal-to-noise ratio, breaks buses, and adds jitter. This means missed edges, false transitions, and crispy performance.

Crosstalk is caused by electromagnetic coupling, and it gets worse the faster your signals switch.

Tightly spaced traces are trouble. Crosstalk can wreck signal quality before your board even boots. Here’s how it works, what it looks like, and how to avoid it 🧵👇
