Ken Shirriff's post from 2019 is trending on TwoStopBits, and for a reason: it's a great post about 80x25

IBM, sonic delay lines, and the history of the 80×24 display

What explains the popularity of terminals with 80×24 and 80×25 displays? A recent blog post " 80x25 " motivated me to investigate this. The ...

Interested in a cool ULX3S FPGA + ESP32 enclosure, but don't yet have (or want?) the 7" HDMI display?

I now have this blank! I suppose in theory, that assembly could also be used as an adapter board for other displays or accessories.

do you need to work with SPI flash a lot? do you hate the unreliable clothespin clip style clips? do you want a clip that actually works and is cheap?

there is a bit of a learning curve (you need to push on it quite strongly to make a connection) but after that it just works. do note that the pin 1 marker on the 8-pin DIP connector isn't placed in the right spot, but it is marked correctly on the probe itself and the little adapter board it has on the other end.

I tested the WSON-8 and SOIC-8-W versions so I'm quite sure the other two work also

Here's the rear view of my ULX3S FPGA enclosure

Behold! My first ever, end-to-end assembly of the enclosure I designed for the Radiona ULX3S FPGA with the Elecrow 7 inch HDMI display! Printed on my Prusa MK3S 3D printer.

And a quick lunchtime shot of 🏝️ Isle.Computer running on #ULX3S.

Simulation may be practical for software dev, but it feels so much better seeing it running on real hardware. This is #riscv asm decoding UTF-8 sent over UART to Isle hardware running on #fpga. Verilog and asm written by hand. 😊
