ieee spectrum, WTF!
That was a fine article (with nice pictures - though no actual photo of the result), but it’s really Hackaday level stuff, and that’s not a compliment in my book - the average reader there has the attention span of a goldfish and the knowledge and depth to match.
I seem to remember much deeper and interesting stuff there…yeah, old man grumping around.
As for the Teensy 4.1, that’s an absolute beast - using one for my SDR project - and at 600 MHz it can support much more than “basic text editing”!
Mr Teensy (Paul Stroffegen) has done an amazing job to bridge that powerful and complex processor with the Arduino world, and opposite to 99% of Arduino library, his code is actually worth reading.
Not that I use any of it - bare metal or RTOS is my playfield - and I sorely miss real debugging capabilities.
EtA: About IEEE spectrum, stuff like this: Story of the Greek Wiretapping Scandal - Schneier on Security - unfortunately the spectrum article is now behind a paywall.
