you don't know what you ask, traveler. my strongest pullups will drain a power rail let alone a signal line. you need a microcontroller that has weaker pullups, because my pullups are too strong for you
@gsuberland i think it's easy to lose even the simplest of arguments when you decide that the best way to engage with people is what i can only call "ceo-posting"
@gsuberland i think most baffling of all is how it's also just a totally dogshit business move?
like if you want money from rpi, then a great way to do that is to have good support, build up a userbase, and then come to rpi saying "look we've got X amount of usage on our platform".
instead of whatever the hell this strategy is meant to be
@jerry507 i think it's an awful business model for an open source project, precisely because of situations like this; if someone comes along and offers to do a bunch of maintainance and/or dev work for a platform, then what do you do?
if you accept the free work, then vendors might start asking "so what exactly are we paying you for?"
but if you reject the free work, then you're inevitably going to sour a lot of very engaged developers, which also weakens your value prop.
@timonsku@whitequark@gsuberland interesting how this gives platformio a profit-generating incentive to make their implementations bad on platforms that don't pay them.
i'm so used to working with 4 layer boards at this point that going back to 2 layers for this little thing feels viscerally wrong. my return paths are in tatters.
