I didn’t expect there to be so many defective ATmega chips out there...🤔
This brings to mind the concept of permacomputing - if things go sideways, the chips that will actually be available are the ones currently in abundant supply and costing $1.50 (like this ESP32-P4), rather than the ones that were all the rage just yesterday, but now arrive from the factory with a 4-out-of-5 failure rate and a $30 price tag.😉
