I really enjoyed the movie and Tom's role in it.
Ego trip or not.
When one produces and stars in a movie, it's hard to escape it as some sort of ego trip.

The movie was released July 12, 2023 in US.
So how did you see it a month or so ago? Outside US?

Damn, it was Top Gun and it was in November on board a cruise ship.

Top Gun Maverick was probably what you saw. (also produced by Tom Cruise).
Yes, Tom was hot stuff in both Top Gun (1986)
(with Kelly McGillis) and Tom Gun Maverick (2022)
Great flicks.
A little over the top at times, but still fun to watch.

Not gonna lie - I really enjoyed Maverick. Way more than I thought I would. Okay, the ending was stupid but it was good fun nonetheless. It was good just to have something none too mentally taxing and Tom Cruise can be relied on to deliver there.

Yeah it was a good movie and we enjoyed it.

yeah, I was in the middle of reading through the Reacher series. The vitriol spewed by true believers was incredible. Then Amazon released Reacher with Alan Ritchson, and I just can't go back.
As for Dead Reckoning, avoiding spoilers, there were a few times the script poked fun at the MI series and twice they just should have edited a bit more. The widely known motorcycle scene off the mountain goes on and on and on in the movie. The overly long train wreck was the other.
Oh, and without giving anything away, it's the American government's fault again

I wanted to turn on an LED on a STM32 devkit.
To do so I needed to turn some GPIO off and on.
It turns out, this isn't so straightforward.
I did not want to tie myself to a particular framework, so I decided to target the CMSIS headers which are available everywhere (I think?), even surprisingly under Arduino.
That means going to the hardware registers directly though.
Between being sidetracked by paying work and doing the research and code for this I've been at this all day.
I've got a class that almost lets me set the various properties of a GPIO pin and turn it off and on.
bool cmsis::gpio_pin_t::output() const {
const int shl = 1<<index;
uint32_t odr = READ_REG(gpio_ports[(size_t)port].reg_base->ODR);
return !!(odr & shl);
}
void cmsis::gpio_pin_t::output_type(pin_output_type_t value) {
const unsigned shl = 1<<index;
MODIFY_REG(gpio_ports[(size_t)port].reg_base->OTYPER, shl, (shl * uint32_t(value)));
}
pin_output_type_t cmsis::gpio_pin_t::output_type() const {
const int shl = 1<<index;
return (pin_output_type_t)(READ_BIT(gpio_ports[(size_t)port].reg_base->OTYPER, shl) >> POSITION_VAL(shl));
}
void cmsis::gpio_pin_t::speed(pin_speed value) {
const unsigned shl = 1<<index;
MODIFY_REG(gpio_ports[(size_t)port].reg_base->OSPEEDR, (GPIO_OSPEEDER_OSPEEDR0 << (POSITION_VAL(shl) * 2U)),
(uint32_t(value) << (POSITION_VAL(shl) * 2U)));
}
pin_speed_t cmsis::gpio_pin_t::speed() const {
const int shl = 1<<index;
return (pin_speed_t)(READ_BIT(gpio_ports[(size_t)port].reg_base->OSPEEDR,
(GPIO_OSPEEDER_OSPEEDR0 << (POSITION_VAL(shl) * 2U))) >> (POSITION_VAL(shl) * 2U));
}
gpio_port_t cmsis::gpio_ports[] = {
{(GPIO_TypeDef *)GPIOA_BASE},
{(GPIO_TypeDef *)GPIOB_BASE}
#if defined GPIOC_BASE
,{(GPIO_TypeDef *)GPIOC_BASE}
#endif
#if defined GPIOD_BASE
,{(GPIO_TypeDef *)GPIOD_BASE}
In arduino it's just stuff like
pinMode(pin,OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(pin,HIGH);
There's a whole mess of behind the scenes there. And I ran face first into it.
I'm several hundred lines of C++ in and I've got it almost working. Just need to enable the clock for the pin group even though I'm not entirely sure what that is, just how to do it. 
Here goes everything.
