Hey @nprofile1q... you’re on the wrong coast 😆

Please read this, it is important.

Sheesh kids have it easy. In my day you needed all 20mA to make an LED weakly glow, and now 5mA will freaking blind you if you aren't careful!

So one of my NUC computers was making a hard to diagnose noise (which was weird because it only has an SSD) so disassembled it to the point where I could remove the fan. The fan isn't seized but lets just say if you spin it with compressed air, when the air stops the fan does to in like < 10mS so yeah, that needs to be replaced.

Yay! My patent if filed. Now the painful wait to see how it gets ripped apart by the USPTO.

One of the things that RTEMS does is it builds cross compilers from source to support development. Reminds me a bit of @nprofile1q...'s tool that did the same. The benefit of that is that it compiles gdb with Python support and you know that gdb will work with whatever the system python is. The downside is that rebuilding tools takes a couple of hours even on fairly beefy processors.
