Very creative and original, but I don't think I want to plug any complete machine into mine, let alone over USB haha. This is sort of like passing out flash drives, and plugging it in hoping there's no malicious content.

The world would be a much better place if we all agreed everyone’s naked under their clothes and it’s no big deal. Oh and most grownups have consensual sex occasionally. Shocker! And they drink too :O Sometimes even break minor laws!!
Human nature is not infinitely malleable. A video of a woman sucking a dick becoming public will always be humiliating to almost everyone.
I can think of vastly more humiliating things, like a video of a woman spreading antivax or pro-choice propaganda. And, differently from a blowjob, which is just a religiously motivated prejudice, those acts are actually harmful and evil.

#124> I just had to remember that the board thickness needs to be 0.8mm for this to work. Clicking through to https://github.com/Pinuct/Eagle_PCB_USB_connectors , it seems like it actually needs to be 0.6mm?
0.6mm is too loose in most cables. It works but is jiggly. 0.7 would be ideal. But my board house doesn’t do that thickness. 0.8 works very well and fits snugly.

#126I was contemplating something like this as I’ve been thinking about a modern business card. I don’t need to run Linux, but I do like some degree of interactivity and uniqueness associated with something I could hand out.
Perhaps something like this: https://youtu.be/_BSfO9LAIqg Looks cool, has NFC and flashing LEDs and fits in your wallet. The NFC chip can be reprogrammed with an app from your phone.

no WSL available for windows NT on MIPS
There was a subsystem for POSIX, though, it's very rudimentary from what I've heard.
Windows NT had a fairly complete POSIX subsystem (for the time) [0] (but not virtualization layer) so you’d only be able to use Linux if it could compile as a rump kernel (it can’t).
That was followed by a replacement subsystem, Windows Services for Unix [1], which later used a “real” Unix compatible layer after their purchase of Interix.
WSLv1 was therefore the fourth subsystem available (though it couldn’t do some of what the previous ones did, and did some of what they couldn’t), and the complete rewrite as WSLv2 is at least the fifth such attempt.

#128I'm not a computer scientist, but can someone explain to me how this can be a computer without all the other bits you normally associate with it other than the CPU. I.e. a chip for interfaces, the mmu/fpu (I don't understand how you can get the cpu to cover this role?). I can see it doesn't have/need sound/gpu. Just would have thought more would be needed!

#129I was so excited for the ATSAMD21 series when I first came across it maybe five or six years ago, because on paper it had most of everything I was looking for while remaining approachable for single-man dev teams and home(lab) assembly. Like OP, I found it extremely difficult to successfully use in practice, and have since then migrated to STMicroelectronics' offerings (STM32 MCUs, available in a huge range that includes Cortex-M0, M3, M4, M7, and now M33 for ARMv8-M). They're much more intimidating on paper, but they actually work like it says on the sticker.
I have a fondness for MIPS as I first learned CPU architecture and more advanced compiler design against it, but I'm surprised OP didn't go with ARMv7 support. The bi-endianness is almost a non-issue as it's effectively a Little Endian architecture with a Big Endian toggle for backwards compatibility - I can't say I'm positive, but my gut instinct would be that it's been forever since ARMv3 shipped defaulting to Little Endian, and most (if not all) of the kernel code has been migrated to Little Endian since then to unify with the most popular targets.

didn't go for ARM emulation cause i've already done that :)
