I've been helping someone get a new waveshare board running only to fail last minute due to the board being crap and me running out of moves to work around it. It's a brand new board, and library/toolchain support is currently trash.
Yesterday at 3am a windows update rebooted my laptop and launched my dual boot linux mid update (lid closed so I didn't realize) - that nuked my windows. I was going to my sister's that day, and that's the only time I ever use my laptop. Frustrating. Fortunately I got it reinstalled enough that it limped along for the trip but heckin grrr. Serves me right for not turning off scheduled updates.
I've been a bit down on tech over the past few days.
Finally, my makerfabs 7" arrived. At 1024x600 it's pushing the limits of this little ESP32-S3 MCU. I have a header file used for driving displays of various kinds - kind of an all in one Big Ball of Mud that nevertheless has served me quite well for driving LCDs of all kinds from an ESP32. I plugged in the pins and things like horizontal sync, vertical back porch, etc and it fired right up and ran my code.
I needed that. Now I just need to update esp_mon2 to be able drive displays that are this large (and relatively slow updating). Currently if it receives serial data faster than the display can draw it crashes.
It shouldn't be a problem, because I'm on my game now.

There are only two ideas in Modern UI (&/or Web) Design, see the image[^].
Do you like Modern Web Design or Classic?
Here's the difference[^].
I created these memes and they are my contributions to the ongoing UI Design discussion. 
They show you why the UX is so irritating, agitating, annoying and other synonyms.
Uh, and yes, CP Main-Page, I'm looking (scrolling) at you!

Yeah, who's offended by scroll bars, even the fat ones?
|
|
|
|
|
Both are so true. I hate the wasted screen space inherit in modern UIs. I can understand no scroll bars on a smart phone, but not on a 1920x1200 monitor.

I know very little about CSS but I do know that designers can tell
1) what your device is
2) what your screen size is
And more.Look at how Media Queries are defined (for just this purpose):
Media queries is a feature of CSS 3 allowing content rendering to adapt to different conditions such as screen resolution (e.g. mobile and desktop screen size). It became a W3C recommended standard in June 2012,[1] and is a cornerstone technology of responsive web design (RWD).
And, that is ancient technology. But no, the designers just design everything to a phone and forget about the rest. Annoying.

What is this "tree" of which you speak?
Will Rogers never met me.

Oak Tree about 2' in diameter and about 60' tall.
And the bitch is that it fell back towards a creek in our back yard so some of it will be tricky to get out.
That and I can only work a short time in the morning as its 80 degrees with feels like in the 90s.
I'm too old for this sh*t!

Ouch! Of course, my pity is abated somewhat by it being 120°+ here this week. Still, standing in front of a casino Thursday in this heat, watching fireworks over the Colorado River, is something I'd rather be doing than trimming a giant oak tree, in any temperature! Go slow, and take frequent breaks, Mike!

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate...
I remember growing up in Phoenix, there was a week where it was 120+ and all we had was a swamp cooler.
It was hot, damn hot.

The real question is "did it make a sound when it fell?"
|
|
|
|
|
maybe it barked ?

And it's risen by 30% this year - an extra £60!
So I look around to find out why and it turns out that's not bad - the average rise in the UK this year is 43%. Bloody glad I'm not still 17 ... they pay an average of £3,145 
I'm still going to shop around, but ... looks like it might be not too bad a price after all.
