Does this one have the JTAG/SWD pins available? I know that the teensy bootloader is one of its USPs, but not being able to connect a debugger is kind of a dealbreaker for any sort of complex project.

There is surprisingly little discussion about the actual spec here. It looks really good to me! - Advertisements change every 15 minutes, are not trackable unless keys are shared. - The only central bit is a repository of "infected&quo

Most of Tesla's problems seem related to the other parts of the car: doors, seats, suspension, etc. They are probably the best electric powertrain company in the world, but still not that great at being a car company.

My understanding is that Bitcoin would fail if the energy costs would be low, the huge costs are what protects it from an adversary acquiring >50% of the "voting rights" on what transactions are valid. At some point the mining

Does anyone else remember sygate? That used to do almost exactly the same as glasswire is advertising, 10 years ago. It died in 2005 when symantec acquired the company and killed the product.
