Haha — this was a fun day! It's honestly surprising how robust the RP2350 was under such extreme experimentation. Mike's write-up walks through pushing the core voltages far beyond stock limits and dry-ice cooling to see what the silicon could handle.
Credit where it's due: Mike is a wizard. He's been involved in some of our more adventurous tinkering, and his input on the more complex areas of our product software has been invaluable. Check out his GitHub for some really interesting projects: https://github.com/MichaelBell
There's been much debate about Raspberry Pi straying from its mission to provide affordable computers. I disagree.
Raspberry Pi offers models ranging from $10 to $120, all readily available — more so than ever.
Adjusted for inflation, the original $35 Raspberry Pi Model B (launched 2012) would be $50 today. The Raspberry Pi 5 2GB is also $50 today and vastly outperforms the original, delivering far greater bang for buck.
Though I can’t speak to their internal decisions, it’s seems from the outside that they continue to try to maximise the value of the Raspberry Pi while maintaining the original price point.

It's not.. `light-color` refers to the colour you want presented if the user's preference is for a "light" theme.
It's not declaring the relative brightness of the two colours - I agree it could be documented a little less ambiguously with something like `light-theme-color`.
It sets the foreground/text color because it's used with the `color` property (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/color). You can use it to set the background color too in which case you'd do `background-color: light-dark(white, black);`
