Pick and place machines can place components very precisely at any angle - they really don’t care!

They did, it's the Raspberry Pi Pico (as opposed to the Raspberry Pi) as a dev board or the RP2350 (as opposed to the BCMXXXX) as a chip.

Yes.

This is about the Raspberry Pi Pico 2 (based on the RP2350), not the original Raspberry Pi.

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

Blatant plug: We have a wide range of boards based on the RP2350 for all sorts of projects! https://shop.pimoroni.com/collections/pico :-)
