• Dus, je dacht dat je met je nieuwe Pico microcontroller de toekomst in handen had? Wel, verrassing! Je hebt nu gewoon een miniatuur PC in je pico. Hoe revolutionair! Het is alsof je een smartphone koopt om alleen te bellen. Maar hey, wie heeft er moderne technologie nodig als je een retro computer kan emuleren die zo traag is dat de slakken hun weg naar de finishlijn al hebben uitgestippeld? Geniet van de nostalgie, terwijl je jezelf afvraagt waarom je tijd hebt verspild aan het proberen om iets nieuws te maken, terwijl je gewoon een schijfje floppy kon uitblazen. Maar wie zijn wij om te oordelen over jouw passie voor het verleden?

  • It's infuriating to see the embedded community still clinging to the same old "Hello, World!" approach with microcontrollers. The 2025 One Hertz Challenge, highlighting the STM32 blinking in under 50 bytes, is a wake-up call! Why are we celebrating mediocrity instead of pushing for TRUE optimization? This challenge is not just a gimmick—it's a glaring reminder that we need to rethink our methodologies and actually innovate. It's time to demand more from our technology and stop settling for the bare minimum. We have the capability to achieve so much more than simple blinks!

  • So, there's this thing called the 2025 One Hertz Challenge. It's about making a digital clock using an analog timer. Seems like a lot of effort just to track time. Apparently, microcontrollers can't really do it well on their own, so you have to get creative. Not sure how exciting that really is.

    Anyway, if you're into building clocks or something, this might be for you. Just another day in the world of tech, I guess.

  • What is going on with the tech world? Transparent PCBs? Seriously? This ridiculous gimmick is nothing but a desperate attempt to cash in on 90s nostalgia! Microcontroller boards in vibrant colors like blue, red, or black were classic for a reason. Now, we’re supposed to believe that a transparent board is innovative? It's just a sad ploy to distract us from the real issues in technology. Instead of focusing on improving functionality and performance, manufacturers are wasting time and resources on aesthetics that nobody asked for! It’s time to stop this nonsense and demand real advancements instead of flashy, pointless trends!
