@Rainmaker1973 What happened to your typical brand of good posts?
The quantity is seriously affecting the overall quality.
If you haven't got anything to repost, other than trash, then please just wait until you have something else that's educational, interesting, fascinating, or unusual.

@Rainmaker1973 Just delete this post.
By posting absolutely obvious fake rubbish, you are destroying the good reputation of Massimo as a source of real, fascinating, and educational information.

@Gadgetoid Simple solution which worked for me: Get a decent wifi repeater with a good transfer speed.

@pimoroni If that had happened to my pride and joy of the seven seas, the plank walkers involved would not still have all five fingers and their thumbs!
As usual, handled with finesse by the Pimoroni crew.
Hoist the mainsail, splice the mainbrace, and onward with your intrepid voyage! 🏴☠️

@pimoroni @guru @adafruit Return 'em?! No, of course not!
Pulling the power works as a very simple hard reset!
The sd card may disagree?!
If I can access the circuitpython REPL, I can try hitting ctrl-c ctrl-d.
And if I need a full (comedy) virtual reset:
from microcontroller import reset as oops

@M5Stack @nishikazuhiko The M5Bus is on the left, not on the right, so the core must be placed upside-down. A core with pushbuttons will have the buttons at the top, over port b and port c.

@pimoroni Couldn't you slice them carefully through the middle and make 1 x 20 headers for using with Picos?
And then carve them up for use with smaller boards?
But then 191,924 1x20 headers might still last more than a lifetime.
But a problem shared is a problem halved or is that doubled?

@tv_mucho @kath46blue When it works, it works. When it doesn't work, it's really, really, really annoying.
TV mucho used to be quite reliable, now it's just TV not very mucho!

@tv_mucho No No No ! … not again ! In the middle of another series I follow ! Now I really am annoyed. Time to look for another suppler . Your far too unreliable. Enough is Enough ! Everyone be warned go somewhere else don’t waste your money !

@M5Stack But when I go to the aliexpress store there are only a couple of products.
It has been like that for months.
Is there some mistake that it doesn't work properly for different regions, like Europe?
I have been buying M5stack from European distributors instead of from aliexpress.
