Yes. Sometimes you’re limited by the hardware you’re controlling. This code is a bit hard to justify with that excuse though. Normally your code would do a read from hardware to see if the value decremented and then repeat the write. (Possibly a sleep/yield in there if required.)

Are we asking questions that we already know the answer to? ;)

For a while it’ll be true. Then the strong German labor unions/laws will be seen as an impediment to profitability. Of course this won’t be spoken aloud. However, the assembly jobs will be moved back to China piecemeal. (Not fast enough to alert lawmakers and cause a commotion.) Until finally the entire operation is in China.

I agree, but this dumpster fire is burning inside the US government. It’s going to take some critical stuff with it as it burns itself out. :(

If that’s pizza, it’s seriously undercooked.

I love AntennnaPod - except when I’m in the car. It doesn’t have Android Auto support.
