Re: Perfectly clear who is responsible.
[/me looks around for a datasheet]
well, this is one for a TDA5144, probably from a consumer hard disk drive's PCB-- but the message is probably copypasta:
"LIFE SUPPORT APPLICATIONS
These products are not designed for use in life support appliances, devices, or systems where malfunction of these products can reasonably be expected to result in personal injury. Philips customers using or selling these products for use in such applications do so at their own risk and agree to fully indemnify Philips for any damages resulting from such improper use or sale."
So how many ICs in an iPad have similar messages in their datasheets? (Hint: probably all of them) FFS, people, use some brain.
