Ugh. If I want to keep working on Flashback, I'll have to move it from an Arduino backend to idf,py. I have no love for Arduino, but also, I don't want to have to fuck around with CMake, especially not duplicating logic between platformio.ini and cmake files.

Huh. Got a new ESP32-S3-USB-OTG dev board to test whether the UART issue was due to a defective unit, and... um. The new one failed in exactly the same way. The UART port just seems to do nothing at all?

It's kind of amazing that a Republican-controlled presidency, Senate, House, and SCOTUS managed to cause a shutdown, then Trump used the shutdown to tear down about a quarter of the literal White House, proceeded to starve literal children, and yet somehow Schumer managed to lose *on the optics*.

There's something fascinating about looking at plots of the battery level of a solar-powered device. Just neat to see how our little information abstractions sit in the real physical world.

In retrospect, the dotcom bubble wasn't a bubble because the Internet was useless or anything less than transformative. It was a bubble because VCs hadn't yet figured out how to monetize it.
Yet another way the AI bubble is far, far worse.
