atmega328. It's not the most powerful chip, but it's what's on most arduinos, which is what got me into electronics in the first place.

I came here to make this joke but with the 68000, but you beat me to it, so here's to the atmega328.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

I feel like the Atmega range asks an awful lot for what you get in 2024.

Of course, that could be because I designed a project around the Teensy++ which was always pricey and promptly disappeared from stock. I redesigned to use a CH32V305 breakout instead- 1/3 the price and probably way more performance which my terrible code is just busy-waiting into the ether.

I like WCH's product line in general; it's full of zany stuff.

I noticed that Miss Vickie's has a new sour cream something or other flavour in a bag that's the same colour, or nearly so. Every time I go through the chip aisle I get very excited for a second, then I realize it's not actually the Harvest Cheddar and my hopes are dashed. I'm developing an irrational hatred of those impostor chips.

[–] jqubed 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The new ones are good, but I’ve never seen this harvest cheddar flavor

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I haven't actually tried the new ones, I probably should do that before I slander them. The Harvest Cheddar ones were so good though. I haven't seen them in at least a few years, unfortunately.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Shocked to see 0 mention of Sun Chips here

So you're all wrong

I mostly use AMD for Linux reasons. ARM for my Apple products. (I know I should use Android and I have an Android phone but I constantly break something tinkering and I’ve accepted that about myself. My daily driver phone should be locked down. Everything else, all bets are off.)

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres 4 points 7 months ago

Or a 6502 if you’re talking about tinkering and playing with chips.

All Dressed.

Or The Whole Shabang since they’re basically the same amazing flavor.

[–] forgotaboutlaye 3 points 7 months ago

Ruffles All-Dressed or Lay's Ketchup

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I get Doritos more than anything, and Spicy Nacho is the flavor of those I get the most when getting Doritos. So I guess that's my favorite.

But I also like Pringles and Baked Lays, other flavors of Doritos, Urtz cheese balls (do those count? Would Cheetos count? 🤔). I like trying everything new at least once and Doritos do a lot of limited time flavors.

But I will choose homemade tortilla chips with pico de gallo over all of them.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Regular Lays.

Especially with a PB&J.

Kettle cooked, salt and vinegar, brand is secondary, but I'm partial to Kruncher's

I'm quite partial to 74 series logic chips personally.

[–] Flummoxed 5 points 7 months ago

Maybe it's because I can't get them where I live, but I remember Pringles Curry chips being amazing.

[–] ParabolicMotion 5 points 7 months ago (7 children)

I don’t eat chips that often but it’s a tie between these All Dressed Ruffles I’ve had in America and the Tatos in Ireland. Apparently, the All Dressed is really popular in Canada.

Lately it's been the sour cream & cheddar Baked Lay's

[–] jqubed 4 points 7 months ago

Those are the only baked chips that basically taste the same as their fried counterparts

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Ketchup is probably number one, followed by Salt and Vinegar. Lay's is the brand most often, although Yum-Yum's are good too.

McCoy's Salt and Vinegar. Yum yum! They're the sort of crisp that you can still taste at the end of the day.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Northern Ireland's finest crisp brand

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

I’m not a chip guy, but I bought a family sized bag of cheddar lays poppables for a long train ride a few months ago, and damn near ate the whole thing by myself. Haven’t bought another for fear of doing it again. Also the bag was like $4!

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 4 points 7 months ago

The absolutely only thing I miss from my non vegan days is the Buffalo wing and blue cheese chips our local grocery chain has. They are spicy to a degree that makes you break out in a sweat and I think I almost liked them more for the endorphins they gave than eating them. I've never found a similar tasting brand,Wegmans in the states has a version but they don't even begin to compare taste wise.

Red Rock Deli Sweet Chilli & Sour Cream. Unfortunately they changed awhile back and aren't as good anymore, but still pretty good.

[–] astanix 3 points 7 months ago

Snyders of Berlin BBQ

They are not as good since Utz bought them but they are still pretty good.

[–] jqubed 3 points 7 months ago

It’s hard to say a specific top but it would probably be Walkers Sensations Thai Sweet Chili. Unfortunately as an American those are a bit harder to find, except through gray market importers and that makes them expensive enough that I rarely get them, and save them for a special treat.

Walkers is a UK brand of Frito-Lay. They actually tried bringing the Sensations sub-brand to the US in the mid-’00s with various Lay’s and Tostitos flavors. I bought a lot of the flavor, which I think they called Sweet Chili and Sour Cream but was basically the same. Sadly it didn’t last long, maybe a year. At a college career fair a couple years later I asked a regional manager from Frito-Lay what happened and he said all the potato Sensations flavors were selling really well, even selling out, but the corn flavors did really poorly. The corn flavors were produced on the same lines that produced Sun Chips, which were really growing in sales at the time. For unexplained reasons when they ended the corn Sensations flavors they ended all the Sensations flavors in the US. It’s funny, as kettle-cooked chips have been gaining market share it seems like Frito-Lay has struggled to find a strong brand in that area outside of Miss Vickie’s. I still wonder if they’d given Sensations more support if they would’ve done better.

I’ve seen other US brands try their hands at that flavor, but the only one I’ve felt come close is Hal’s of New York. I don’t live in New York, though, so they’re not easy to find.

Weirdly another favorite is a store brand salt and vinegar kettle chip. The vinegar is really acidic on those, to the extent my lips feel a bit burnt for several hours after eating them. I keep feeling like I should try to find the manufacturer just in case the store ever changes suppliers.
