Why do people have online data sheet files called media.pdf or
mfr.pdf ?
Why does TI have app notes and eval board manuals like sluubo1.pdf?
Why do I have to fill out a form to see a data sheet or an online
magazine? It's easier to not.
Why are a lot of Digikey's datasheet links broken or useless?
Why do some data sheets not even name the manufacturer?

for them, hence the links or altered forms. Copyright or rev/doc
control issues?
Docs for north american market aren't a priority, when 80% of
product is designed, made (and repaired?)off-shore.
Publications? $ or lack of.
I've had EDN and EPD reps on the phone three times in seven
days, verifying mailing address, though they haven't delivered
a hard copy to any of my addresses in the last 30yrs.
Everyone else and their dog got one. Boohoohoo.
You figure they'd be able to recognize a return from direct
email solicitation and just cough up the article. Could be
the browser, but hey . . . .
Bodo Power keeps re-publishing stuff with illegible illustrations.
You have to ask for a 'good' one.

Hey there's an idea for an AI/large language model amenable task, a data sheet-renamer.
LLMs can be pretty good at generating summaries of text, seems like it
should be possible to train one on some app notes to generate summaries
pithy enough for a file name.

Easy not to sell. Another grrrr is data sheets with no rev or date ID.

They also seem to like to host them on the slowest servers imaginable
and still use FTP like it's the 90s.
