Given that that is how they treat customers, they have found their way onto my list of companies that I will never do business with.

There appears to be a work-around. FTDI released a utility that fixes it.

I will have search for that as a user we are not allowed to update the drivers (which can cause problems on newer stuff). Thanks!

You'll have to be more specific than "not working."

Isn't it strange how helpful companies can become after they've arrogantly treated customers like sh1t and it's turned into a public relations disaster?
Customers are such a pain. Heaven only knows why they don't like being treated like sh1t. They should just hand over money and STFU.

In that case he can go ahead like Donald trumpet run for president.

I tried running for political office but they said I wasn't corrupt enough.

I am not favoring any candidate in the upcoming election and no unicorns were injured while composing this post.

You're right about the sackbut if you piccolo quality one you should take some new courses as well.

...that you have no idea whether the concept is viable, let alone how to implement the concept because it's probably never been done before?
Like this[^].
(Sorry for the clicky to my blog, but it's the easiest way to show you all a screenshot.)
Now, in some ways, I can't imagine this hasn't been tried (and probably abandoned) but I am definitely having fun exploring the marriage of not-really-flowcharting code diagramming with highly component-ized code.
The diagramming concepts (creating small "functional" components graphically represented in some way) should be applicable to just about any other language as well. I can already see how this could be used with Javascript, Python, etc., and with some interesting "intelligence" to glue the code together into applications. I even have a simple static page web-server that runs "written" in this style.

how & why?

Because we say that an application is made of smaller "building blocks" of code, but is that just a cute saying, or can it be actually done without creating a lobotomized language?
And how, well, this is why I created FlowSharp, because I wanted a playground for this idea. Leveraging SharpDevelop's editor (I also have a Scintilla plug-in, but it doesn't have Intellisense) and some other stuff, a lot of the pieces just needed to be glued together.

Reminded me of Lego Mindstorms; heard a professor once claim that we'd not be programming in a language, but in those blocks by the year 2012.

I've seen this sort of thing before, 30+ years ago, in the 80's. Borland had something 20+ years ago in the 90's. Microsoft, I believe, tried something like that about 10 years later. It was a grand idea but didn't go anywhere. It might today given different toolsets and performance gains and the right execution.
