πŸŽ‰ Behold! #Microchip gives us a "Configurable #Logic Block" that's as accessible as a black hole. They've wrapped it in so much #mystery that even Sherlock Holmes would struggle to deduce its secrets. πŸš€ Instead of a manual, you're handed a #cryptic online #configurator that feels like deciphering hieroglyphs. πŸ™ƒπŸ”

I was disappointed that Microchip did not document the CLB format so I decided to reverse engineer it myself!

if you really want to do something RE: #microchip and #electronics #supplychain that is not an #enviromental gamble with the #trump #EPA: buy fucking less electronics seriously now and bring your shit to the effing repair shop, but most importantly: dont use #AI and dont #stream 24/7. the amount of electronics going into that alone is insane. all in all use #tech like it is vital to civilisation - because it is.
