C-P-User-3 wrote: USB front ports mean: Wires, Wires, and More Wires; A quiet source of constant distraction and a reminder of Disorganization
Other than a USB-3 hub, I don't keep anything plugged into the front. However, it's handy to have USB ports on the front of the case so I don't have to crawl under the desk to plug in temporary external devices.

I gave up on CMSIS. I need to support different chips, and be able to change the chips i support rapidly to keep up with sourcing concerns. I need a HAL that a bunch of other maintain. I can't do it myself.
Cube is a non-starter. Their app doesn't even work right for me, since the screen doesn't repaint properly 80% of the time. Sometimes when I get lucky and launch the app it behaves for awhile before becoming almost unusable.
And that's still forcing me to deal in visual nonsense.
Enter ZephyrOS. This is a great project for embedded. The problem is that they stopped supporting PlatformIO so poof - there goes my smooth and easy workflow.
Oh well. I can use west from the command line and manually edit my .cpp_properties file to put in the zephyr include directories and use the ARM compilers.
But then there's "devicetree"
Holy socks, Batman! It's got its own syntax, and you use it to map pin assignments and devices for your board(s), and perhaps include more driver modules (I'm not sure about that last bit - still learning) etc.
It could probably stand a book or two.
Coding against it is easy enough, but configuring it is a real chore.
I've been trying to use the nRF VS Code extension to build devicetree files but i think it's Nordic Semiconductor specific. *sadface*

I am a long-time Chrome user. We use generated HTML documents for a lot of things in our products. Microsoft's incessant pushing of Edge pisses me off, especially when they constantly reset my file associations for HTML files to point to it. I know my prejudice doesn't have a sound technical basis.
I may have to finally surrender  . I create the system images we install on the industrial PC's we use in our products. The Microsoft Update Catalog[^] site will not download files using Chrome, so I've learned to use Edge for that. I'm getting ready to create a Windows 11 image for a new model of PC, and come to find out that their site for downloading the image bits and pieces doesn't work with Chrome either.
This tit-for-tat sh*t isn't necessary  .

A bit strange as Edge is based on Chrome nowadays 
|

The sites both render identically in Chrome and Edge. The file download is broken when used in Chrome. To add insult to injury, they don't display a message stating "You must use Edge to download", they just silently ignore you. This seems like a passive-aggressive way to indict Chrome.

For my purposes, all browsers have worked well enough.
When I use a browser for a while, I learn how to manage the user interface, bookmarks, settings and history.
Having to re-learn such things is annoying.
(Why, back in my day, we'd walk 5 miles through knee deep snow, uphill both ways, just to use a browser, and by golly we were happy....)

I usually welcome my Microsoft overlords, to be honest. Using their tools and adhering to their best practices has usually been a safe bet.
The Edge team however has this "take no prisoners" and "![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) the user" attitude that is just pissy. Back when Edge started resetting file associations I remember reading an explanation how this was supposedly a "security measure" and "third-party vendors were not using the proper API". Bull ingshit.

I agree they are very aggressive and force you to use Edge which is bullshit and for that very reason I will not use it useless I absolutely have to.

Meh.
I've abandoned Chrome in favor of Edge, with the thinking being, the OS makers already have all my data. I'd rather have the browser I use send the same data to the same company, rather than having two companies spying on me (with one of them deriving its income almost entirely from ad revenue).
On a technical basis, I also no longer see how Chrome might still have the edge (pardon the pun).

Microsoft, Google, etc. knows what the majority is too afraid to admit. They want to control your data and view to and of the world. It's only going to get worse.

You could just stop supporting Windows and convert your software to run on Mac instead...

Soooooooo... n00b question. Is the goal of this game to find a word that rhymes with the first word based on the hint and letter count?

Nope, it's a single Cryptic Crossword Clue[^] and follows normal CCC rules: discombobulate, misdirect, and confuse the reader as much as possible! 
Punctuation is (normally) to be ignored (but not necessarily) as it's rarely helpful, and you'll find anagrams which have "keyword" indicators which include (but aren't limited to) "free", "about", and "could be" - there is a list here[^] which is nearly comprehensive.
For example, one episode of the TV show Drop the Dead Donkey had one character (Henry Davenport) trying to get the final clue on his crossword for a whole day: "gegs (9, 4)" the solution being "Scrambled eggs" ...

Thanks for that. This scares me, but it also makes me want to try it.

Oh, and the prize for solving it first is that you get to post it the next working day.
