Why are people still connecting their TVs to the internet? I thought this is already common wisdom for people in tech for decades to NEVER connect your TV to the internet, not even once.

Nobody is trying to appeal to "pro-AI crowd" (whatever the fuck that even means) when they use AI tools. If an indie (or even less of an indie) is using AI generation, they are doing so to save costs or work around their very limi

This isn't entirely true. It's Atmel that derives massive benefit from GCC, or whoever implemented AVR backend for GCC. Arduino doesn't - strictly speaking - depend on GCC, it could (and does) use any toolchain that is suppli

So the faulty ADC (nonlinearity issues) of RP2040 is the only thing you can list and that makes it "low quality shit"? I implore you to open up the errata sheet of stm32g4, just the ADC section alone (or frankly any stm32 mcu) ( h
