The S2 series of ESP32 modules have USB OTG support rolling out pretty radidly right now, based on TinyUSB’s stack, and the touch capacitance sensor implementations on those chips is truly a generation ahead of the initial series. It’s as if they totally rethought the ESP32 in the context of how it could be used to enable hobbyists to become makers of consumer-friendly devices with modern, professional interfaces.

Even the documentation for the S2 chips is like nothing I’ve ever seen for a microcontroller —— they describe in incredible detail how you can use their touch sensor support to enable waterproof touch panels, touch screens, proximity sensors, sliders, keypads.

They even get into describing layer-by-layer which materials to use in order to construct an effective, professional touch sensor. That is invaluable information for device makers hoping for a leg up on their competition, and Espressif didn’t really even have an obligation to include this level of information — they know how revolutionary this could be.

I think we’ll start seeing Espressif not only be the company that brings IoT mainstream, but the company that steers the future of IoT in the same sort of way that IBM did with the PC. They’re defining a ton of protocols, services and silicon technologies and I think they’ve already surpassed a critical mass where other companies will have to standardize around Espressif’s implementations if they want to achieve any real success in this market.

Don’t get wrong, I love MVG’s content, and I’m not a big gamer or even much of a YouTube viewer.

And as far as languages go, JavaScript is not nearly so far removed from raw machine code as most interpreted languages.

100MB of JavaScript code is not “astoundingly huge” at all , considering the bulk of that is tooling. Compared to the tooling for many other commonly used C/C++ development environments, 100MB is pretty modest.

By the way, your comments have been flagged as well as mine, meaning you are apparently just as incapable of following the guidelines here as myself. I’m not just going to “move on”, I’m still waiting for you to bring a well-reasoned argument to the table rather than personal attacks.

What you seem to be saying is that morality is subjective, and therefore it should be immune from critical scrutiny. Am I off base?

How about you answer your own question: who is the majority? You seem to be assuming that each individual community on reddit is frequented by a white majority. Where is your evidence?

Not a single word about white people not benefiting from such protections.

Experience has taught me that people who enter into an argument with disingenuous red herrings such as this one are not interested in a good faith discussion, but I am always willing to give people the benefit of the doubt.

My argument isn’t that gassing Jews and conservatism are inherently the same thing, that’s a completely preposterous interpretation of my previous comment. My argument is that fear of losing status is at the core of all of these ideologies, and nowhere is that more explicit than conservatism.
