Today will always be Mothers Day to me!

- The toolchain only works under linux or macOS - no MiniGW or anything despite it requiring an old compiler
- It fails to build anything Pico at all if you install CMake 3.5 or later which VS Code requires, and which some instructions say to install the extension for
- The ARM backend they require is old AF and if you update it, it will fail to build
- The GPIO pin numbers are on the back of the board, rendering the markings useless
- The Arduino support was written either at gunpoint or while drunk. The SPI is completely non-standard, there's no SD.h support, etc
I don't know why people insist on making garbage.
This board probably works great with micropython, if you're foolhardy enough to run a scripting language with crap for memory management on something with about 256kB of RAM

Nah, that's old. Now if you install the CMake extension like the video instructs you to do it upgrades to a later version of CMake which breaks Pico's old cmake scripts.
In addition, it fouls up linking to the base libraries somehow.

with some code I was trying to create, until my buddy Kjiend, flew down, parked his spaceship in the backyard, walked in through the wall (I really wish he would learn to use a doorknob), and showed me how to solve the problem!
He stayed for a beer and then left.

What a co-incidence, I used to date his sister.

Good to have a walk though wall friend to help you with problems.
I have one too. His name is Jesus. And he knows not only my problems but the beginning from the end.

Did he bring his cat, Pixel?

I understand that IBM is also releasing a version of OS/2 that runs on the 8086. They are calling it OS/2 Impulse.

It'll still have the same performance as OS/2 Thrusters.

Causes flashbacks, it does. I wrote and maintained an OS/2 device driver for a while that ran a piece of custom hardware we'd developed. All in Intel assembly language, 32-bit, fortunately a flat memory model. 18,000 lines of assembler.
This hardware controlled signal timing on our line of commercial ink-jet printing systems. One late night of debugging including unrolling paper down the central aisle of our manufacturing area (which is a square a couple acres in size), and then crawling from one end to the other counting little marks on the paper. I couldn't do that crap today, my joints couldn't handle it.

I only used OS/2 Warp as a "better Windows than Windows" (which it was). I never wrote any serious code for it.
