Ah, tuning. Whatever tuning they did for the Pi 5 kernel doesn't agree with VS Code/Electron. I had to tweak it to use the Pi 4 kernel. I don't know if it was ever fixed but the 4 works well. I didn't have any problem with Bookworm on a Pi 3+ but it's in a robot and I only ssh in so it's not doing any video. > Hmmm ... how many people now that can repair/tweak > old Seletrics and such ? Rare art. At one point I rented a Selectric in case I wanted something fancier than dot matrix for a client proposal and i didn't want to buy a daisy wheel. When I left town traveling light I called up the office rental place to see where they wanted it returned. 'Don't bother.' I left it on the sidewalk and it was gone the next day. That was in '88.
