@mhoye i make a device to hack on these things. i ... don't know how many computers are in my computer, but i know a _lower bound_. also an upsetting amount of them are 8051's. your LCD controller? 8051. that SD card controller? quite probably, 8051 with an accelerator (could be ARM these days). or maybe it's an ARM booted by a 8051, that's a thing too

@mhoye anyway, as a matter of principle, i don't think it's reasonable to call abstractions lies. it's a catchy thing to throw out while failing to cope with burnout, but like, my camera didn't ask for "not a Linux machine", it asked for some SCSI, it doesn't give a fuck what provides that SCSI
