We got a few questions about the Ultra SCSI Fast20 beta firmware so I wanted to share some details! This is an overclock to the Pico1/2 that allows the latter to almost saturate a 20MB/sec Ultra SCSI Fast20 bus! Real world results will vary of course, but here’s what we’ve seen so far!

The video of Trump’s deportees arriving in El Salvador is horrific.
This is 21st century Nazism.
