Unless he links directly to evidence that backs up what he says, I’ve learned to tune out Robert Reich. For a guy who is a Rhodes Scholar, a college professor, and a former Secretary of Labor he has a remarkable tendency to leave out qualif

I had a problem with the ESP32 implementation specifically. The micropython implementation itself runs as a task under ESP-IDF, rather than bare metal, which is the case on some other microcontrollers like rp2350. So it doesn’t have access

I think there’s an expectation on the Supreme Court to overturn many of the tariffs when it takes up the case in November. There’s already a market forming in trading the right to tariff refunds.
