From my observation Scientology starts by teaching you to be selfish, more self assertish, in the process you end up pushing your friends and family away, but guess what, you have some new friends in the 'church'

They're from roughly the same era (and the same as 68020s/396s/88ks/mips) - 29ks came out of AMD and sadly didn't fly as high as we hoped at the time - their unique stack management may have been part of that
I'd say the insane bus arrangements on released chips (unrelated to ISA itself) had more to say there - the 3 & 4 bus configurations only make sense if you're throwing a bunch of extra chips onto it to make a proper CPU module that will expose sensible single bus to the world. Instead you effectively got a harvard architecture design in way that is least helpful.
I think that has more to do with the amount you could get onto a die at that time, architecturally they had to move the MMU onboard first which left the cache(s) offboard
It's more that they implemented it for higher speed as the split bus meant instruction fetches didn't block data fetches and vice versa - but it meant that without glue logic you turned a von neumann architecture into half-broken harvard one (because there's no support for copying data between the buses).
Some of the models had normal bus that didn't require unusual things like dual ported memory controller or other weirdness.
The other thing he doesn't mention is time, I live in AoNZ and we do get free shipping from Digikey if we order over a minimum (~$60US) - but the big deal is time - you have to order everything you need ahead of time and get it all to arrive - miss one thing and you're stuck with a PCB and a box of bits and are sitting on your hands for a couple of weeks - you have to be incredibly organised - it's why I have a cabinet of SMD reels most of which I'll never use (reels of common components are ~$2 while visiting Shenzhen a couple of hundred $$ saves you a bunch of pain)
Living in the US and having free overnight delivery is 1st world luxury
ESP32-P31s are cheap - samples are cheap ($5-6 for WROOM modules) production prices are going to be lower - and twice the number of pins ESP32s are known for (but say goodbye to castelated modules hand soldering is going to be harder)

Yes, the package will be less friendly to DIY assembly. The greater number of GPIO are definitely welcome however: it's a high feature device and they are needed.
i would not underestimate the tomfoolery Xiaomi is doing to give the impression their phone can take a zoomed in photo of the moon. It's pretty tasteless in my opinion
We didn't have words to describe "Opensource" yet, I wrote (from the above page):
This page is designed to be a home for the Taniwha Flight Computer which
I'm building and kitting for a number of other interested people. This is
NOT a for-profit enterprise - the idea is to get a critical mass of people
up and using the same hardware so that they can write cool and interesting
code (or make cool and interesting hardware) and share it with everyone else
who's using the design.
A quick note about copyrights etc - all the stuff here is marked with my
copyright - this is something I do with everything I design to retain control
of my designs should I decide to sell them for profit in the future. However
everything in these pages, the design itself and the software that runs on it
(at least the stuff I provide) is hereby provided it for anyone's use - but I
retain ownership and copyright (even feel free to build them commercially if
you want).
You can see the gem of what later became GPL/etc there, using copyrights to retain control while releasing it to the world. Later I added:
"Open Source" is now all the rage - we've been running this project that way
for the past 4 years - so as always "feel free to steal anything on these web
pages".
This is probably the place to say if you want to come play in this space you really ought to go to KawaiiCon - AoNZ's kinder/nicer DEFCON - in Wellington over the Halloween weekend, tickets available now, be in before they sell out
Yeah, we had a very strict initial lockdown, and closed the border, once the number of cases went to 0 we opened up again, we then had regional lockdowns after cases broke the border quarantine.
