--- Quote from: Simon on June 27, 2020, 03:35:41 pm ---But being rich is always easier in any context. most of the animosity in society is people trying to climb on each other to get to a better place because it is accepted that there is not enough to go round which is not true, but everyone always wants more. --- End quote --- My family got to know some people that were as rich as Croesus, but we didn't realise that at the time. They were delightful people. They valued our friendship and continued to do so after we realised who they were. Why? Because they knew we were friends of them, not of their money. Is poverty better? Of course not. But money only buys a more comfortable type of unhappiness. |

It is a skill and an art to be happy. The skills needed change with age, too. It isn't really about the money, if you have what you need. "You can't always get what you want", as the song goes... |

We have a victim: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/microcontrollers/generic-clocked-serial-protocol-on-stm32/ He's trying to use a serial port in USART mode because the datasheet called it a serial port because it did not want to say SPI because it then did not want to say master/slave. But it's an SPI protocol. This is what happens when you banish words and everything get's called "thing" in case someone get's offended by the different words. Shame on TI. |

As much as I would like it to be true and have a good laugh at TI, the part dates back to 2008 so I doubt they did it for that reason. :( Still have hope for the future, though ;) |
