@dalias@hachyderm.io @henk@waag.social Yeah, I haven't actually written anything using the Arduino IDE for an 8-bit microcontroller in a long time; stuff like the ESP8266, ESP32, and RP2040 (via arduino-pico) are just too cheap in comparison.

@dalias@hachyderm.io @Kadin2048@mefi.social @henk@waag.social We moved to rp2040 in education about 2 yeara ago, with "arduinos" left for special applications

@dalias@hachyderm.io @Kadin2048@mefi.social @henk@waag.social 8-bit microcontrollers don't have online threats, CVEs, viruses, or any of that newfangled stuff. I'd much rather buy a product where the software runs on an 8-bit than on some embedded Linux platform, because I'd much more expect it to just work, forever. Bigger systems open the door to various flavours of enshittification. :-(
