⚠️ Qualcomm just bought Arduino, holy f*ck.
Huge loss for everyone, including Qualcomm, there's no way they'll recover their money once we ran away.
Everyone with an Arduino project has, starting as of NOW, six months to look for a replacement.
If you don't start right away, I can point out someone who will be in a lot of pain in a few months.
Believe me...
I know this will play merry hell with the 3d printer and mechanical keyboard scene. Innumerable hardware will die from this takeover.
The human genome is pleased to announce that it has been acquired by GalactiComm in a transaction involving 56 quadrillion UltraCredits in cash, stock and population indentures. Humanity will remain an independent brand and organisation under the GalactiComm banner and is expected to flourish with access to GalactiComm technologies such as TrueThought and MetaGender. Human leaders will remain in their current roles, designated as GalacticComm vice demi pico presidents.
Because I like the concept, here's this years #GoodOf2024. A concise list of projects I did in 2024, to actually convince my brain that yes, I actually achieved something.
- Helped @patagona with his ISDT #CM1620 reverse engineering
- Built the #Framework #DongleHiderPlus expansion card
- Implemented MQTT data logging for the #ePocketBike stats
- Started development of an #Arduino compatible Ethernet stack for the cheap #CH32V208 MCUs (built-in 10M PHY)

I built a latency meter with an Arduino and a photo transistor to answer one question: Is click-to-photon latency higher on Wayland than on X11?
And the answer is: Yes, actually.
⏱️ 42 ms on X11, compositing off
⏱️ 56 ms on X11, compositing on
⏱️ 64 ms on Wayland
⏱️ 71 ms on Windows 10
Tested with Plasma 6.3.4 and Firefox 137. I will improve my methods and confirm these numbers. See replies for details.
