<p>Transmuting between chemical elements is dangerous because there are 256 possible atomic numbers but only 81 of them correspond to valid elements. The rest give you glitch elements that behave erratically and can even corrupt nearby atoms and molecules. Most of these are caused by indexing the periodic table out of bounds, though a couple elements were deleted before release.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://ioc.exchange/@azonenberg" class="u-url mention">@<span>azonenberg</span></a></span> yeah I suppose in the same dumpster they get AD and ublox parts</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> probably easier to find in a dumpster in guangzhou? lol</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://ioc.exchange/@azonenberg" class="u-url mention">@<span>azonenberg</span></a></span> apparently russia has cloned TMS320&#39;s long ago but... they don&#39;t use the clones? they use actual western TI TMS320&#39;s? they don&#39;t even come in the same package??</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> TMS320s are all over the place in western munitions too. Not surprised in the slightest</p>

<p>reportedly the actual autopilot role is taken up by multiple TMS320&#39;s and i have absolutely no desire to stare at TMS320 assembly. bizarre choice of device to design in</p>

<p>i feel like after seeing raspberry pis in loitering munitions i can pack my embedded career up. there&#39;s nothing more to be seen at this point</p>
