While the result is the same, notice the difference between:

        (uint8_t)(~(0x55)) and ~((uint8_t)(0x55))

When 0x55 is sitting around bare its an int. The 2nd example puts it
into uint8_t first, then complements and remains uint8_t. The first
complements the int then chops it down to fit in a uint8_t.
