Also, call the feds, because the Pandora’s Box we’ve been keeping Gregor in was found this morning with a busted lock and a note saying: Now I have a pen, Ho-Ho-Ho.

He also wants to share knowledge. Of that, there is much. For now, it’s Buyback time.

But first, the day ahead.

Hard to forget, but among the top performers was 4DS Memory (ASX:4DS), which jumped 39% following it’s managed to achieve cell operation in a megabit memory array utilising improved test capabilities.

“This allows further exploration of optimised programming conditions with the access transistors and write circuitry of imec’s megabit memory platform,” 4DS says, which indicates that the 4DS Interface Switching ReRAM cells are potentially more likely to be compatible with imec’s megabit memory platform, de-risking a fresh round of testing due to produce results in late Q2 2023.
