this shit pisses me off because i've already run into it before and it took me hours of troubleshooting why is it i couldn't send serial commands to a piece of 1986 tech only for someone with 3.5k twitter followers to tell someone "yes any usb to serial will work"
RT @maplesbian@twitter.com
so apparently you can get USB to DB9 cables marketed as being RS232 compatible when in fact they output TTL levels. lovely
it extremely pisses me off more so because of c-PTSD from being doubted and ignored and told to shut the fuck up my entire life by people who should know better and refuse to. i'm tired of being dismissed and shut down when i actually know something
@mavica_again Some people are just so arrogant they can't even see the shit falling out of their smug mouths.
