My sister found? (she was vague) a life sized stone-like statue of a toddler - not like a cupid or anything you'd normally associate with such statues - just a normal toddler. Maybe a 3yo boy in overalls, uniform gray.
I suggested (and the suggestion will probably take) that she display it prominently on her property with a sign that reads "unattended or misbehaving children will be turned to stone."
Her youngest, the 2 year old talks to it.

I've been trying to spelunk through Espressif's RGB interface panel API.
Some background: RGB interface LCD screens accept 1 wire per color bit. So 16-bit color takes 16 pins not including the sync and control pins. The framebuffer is on the MCU, not on a display controller. The MCU uses DMA to drive the color pins, essentially sending data to the display on every refresh cycle, using memory provided by the MCU.
This isn't trivial to drive 16 pins via DMA, but the ESP32-S3 has hardware for doing so. They even provide an API for using that hardware, which is fortunate.
However, I have *never* seen that API used in the wild without it being hacked to ribbons by whomever created their graphics libs to interface with it.
In some cases I've even seen the i8080 interface hijacked and used to drive RGB screens!
I don't know why, except that out of the box, I've never gotten the RGB interface to work with any display I have. Hacking it produces results, but that's the thing - I don't know how to hack it. All I've been able to do is copy from others who have done it.
That said, others haven't updated their code to support changes in the latest version of Espressif's framework.
Since that framework version is also tethered to Arduino, when they updated Arduino, they broke all those hacks.
I've found a newer set of hacks that work with the newer framework on one RGB display, but I have had no luck getting it to work with other displays yet.
If your API can only be used by hacking the utter life out of it, maybe it's time to rework your API. Just sayin'

Being from the south, I absolutely agree that southern style music is great... whether it's southern country and rock or even zydeco. It has a nice warmth and charm to it and is usually about just having a good time. Which IMO is a lot better of a message than most of the crap released today.
Not sure how much southern music you follow, but if this is a new discovery I gotta mention some you may not hear on the radio or from a Google search.
Louisiana Saturday Night
Baby's Got Her Blue Jeans On
The Devil Went Down to Georgia
Keep your hands to yourself
New Orleans Ladies
Hey Good Lookin'
This dude is straight up real Cajun. Some of his songs are even in Cajun French.
Take My Hand
This is a very popular song that's been resang so much. But it's such a southern song and about food, so nom nom...
Jambalaya (On The Bayou)
And you'll definitely hear this on the radio. But, Alabama deserves an honorable mention on any post about the south and music.
