Writing titles for e.g. Reddit posts teaches you the same things. It’s an intellectual and creative exercise that I kind of enjoy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I shouldn’t wish for more onboard RAM for the next Pico iteration because other boards already have more. Okay, dude.

Default specs matter a lot for worldwide availability and affordability, as well as for the willingness of people to spend a lot of time creating free software for it.

Yes, but we weren't talking about the (current) scope of this project.

The ADCs on RP2040/2350 only have 12 bit resolution.

Nice. I wonder if 264/520 kB RAM is also enough for a high quality parametric stereo reverb/echo effect? Should fit about 3/6 seconds of uncompressed 16-bit 44.1/48 kHz audio. Also: Raspberry Pi Ltd - please keep increas

HAM was useful for showing static graphics.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that. It was introduced in 1987.

Sort of fair but also very specialized.

Amigas reached hobbyists in large numbers way earlier, yeah.

Also, VGA had 256 colors. The Amiga had 4,096 simultaneously. That's the highly special hold-and-modify mode ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hold-And-Modify ). I tried pretty hard to word my comment fairly, rememb

I missed out on the Amiga (introduced in 1985) at the time, being an early PC adopter. Went from CGA (1981) directly to VGA (1987). In terms of colors the most popular VGA modes (320x200 or 320x240, 256 color palette, 18 bit color depth) ar

Agreed in principle. Let’s make things norminal, not superlative.

That speaker voice was a bit odd. Everything was perfect! At least one superlative every 5 seconds or so. I think that audio stream was designed to be POTUS safe.

I remember NASA broadcasts being top notch up until the end of the Space Shuttle program in 2011. That stabilized footage from when the shuttle was landing is iconic. However: That quality was lost earlier than last year. Not sure exactly w
