Maybe you should join together with other rubes and hold a Rubicon.

I sometimes accidentally do this and then get angry that the feature exists

Postscript is also literally just a text based programming language for drawing stuff. You can create loops and recursions and all kinds of crazy transformations with a few lines of code.

I guess maybe we have different requirements, but I built a similar controller using a 68HC05 when I was in college (yes I am that old) and it had plenty of cycles left to burn. This thing is nearly an order of magnitude faster than the microcontroller I used.

EDIT: I will grant you the I/O is pretty limited, but you could also offload some of the work to an external timer/accumulator

The original DOOM ran on a 80386 which was actually slower than or roughly equivalent to this controller. Recommended system specs were for a 486 though which was maybe 2-3x as fast.

A 32bit @24MHz CPU is extremely overpowered for those use cases.

Qi operates in the 87-205 KHz range. A power tool is several orders of magnitude slower.

I know that toy store! It’s right next to a brewery tasting room in the same little building/complex. The place is loaded with crazily expensive vintage action figures.

The very least they could do is say how much the revenue changed vs. previous year.

Here’s a link to the story for those interested.
