@gwennelsonuk @riku @mkukri The Pico (or any RP2040 device) is also reprogrammable. Don't want a SPI flasher? Here are a few other things it can also do:
* Emulate the CD drive on a playstation.
* Be used as a TTL-based UART dongle
* Anything else you cna think of. Want to program a door alarm for your office?
Yet I still see idiots like the YouTuber you linked, with millions of followers, telling everyone to use CH341a. I get blamed on #libreboot when someone fries their chip with it.
