C3 boards are a mess, almost all of them are single-port with a USB-UART chip despite supporting USB-CDC & JTAG. Lots of C6 boards are dual-port but sometimes they're single-port, typically without a USB-UART chip. And to make it m

S3 also has USB support that I've come to hugely appreciate on dev boards... tho I just got some oddball single-port boards that used a CH340 anyways. Grrr.

As a fellow lazy hobbyist, I'm gonna suggest that buying the cheapest ESP32 / -C3 / -C6 boards can be a poor value. The cheap ones are often > 25.4mm wide so on a single standard breadboard the pins are only accessible on

Tasmota is firmware you can configure on-device[0] while ESPHome is a YAML-driven construction kit for compiling firmware specific to a device's configuration. Every change to the YAML is a compile-and-flash cycle. Tasmota is only for

All the Espressif RISC-V chips so far are missing the USG-OTG feature of the S2/S3 and RP2040.

Probably being too nice to them. IME, a lot of (solar) heat and neglectful watering makes 'em mean.

I wasn't aware that PowerToys had that, so thanks for pointing it out. In general I've been satisfied with the built-in Snap feature but since getting a 49" 32:9 1440p monitor I've been wishing the 3-column options offer

Some ISDN TAs supported data-over-voice for 56kbps per channel. Useful in areas where data calls has per-minute charges but unlimited local "voice" calls were included in the monthly charges.

If you look at RTO mandates coming out of places like IBM and Yahoo during the Before Times, there was clearly an "increase unforced attrition" aspect to them. Layoffs without the pesky WARN notices, severance, etc.
