That's what HE said...
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

Aero was dropped because it takes more processing power than flat colours which decreases battery life.

It should still be an option that can be turned on if the user wants it.

I concur. Why couldn't it be an option?
...because people would switch it on and then complain about battery life being reduced? I don't think so.

I see we've reached the dock side of the farce.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

To the plank with @OriginalGriff (!), as we robotically cast him into the sea of comments wherein he's nar phasered in the least, all the while our fingers get very sword from typing full sail such the dreaded responses.

Does he still travel with his smelly companion C-3BO?

There's another new droid in the film, whose dialog is all based on quotes from F. Scott Fitzgerald novels: R2-Deco.

... I had a (probably) VT-52 compatible terminal for my old computer. The monitor and the keyboard still exist, but the terminal board itself is long gone.
Now I would like to revive it by programming a small Arduino board for that purpose.
The keyboard has an oldschool parallel interface (8 data bits, one strobe signal), which should not be a real problem to connect to the Arduino. The keyboard is 37 years old and despite it still having real key switches, it might be a little worn out. Therefore plan B is to use a standard USB keyboard.
The old composite black and white monitor still exists and the Arduino must be able to provide composite video with a 64 character x 24 lines display.
Last, the old computer has a really ancient 300 baud RS232 interface which runs at +- 12 volt. I'm going to need a real RS232 port on the Arduino side, not just TTL level, 3.3 volts or similar.
Can someone please tell me which one of the many Arduino boards can provide those things? There are quite a few of them available at very different prices and I don't want to buy any inadequate boards.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Sounds like an interesting project and a cool article. Looks like you might need one of these[^] to convert TTL to +/- 12V.
