This is one of the joys of working in IOT. Finding energy to scavenge, continuously characterising power usage and making stuff work in reality. Software development has come to be working in giant frameworks needing vast processing, storage and connectivity that one little understands and uses a tiny part of. The discipline and problem solving required to do useful stuff in IOT end-devices is a refreshing change.

You need to think of a better starter word, I suspect!

I looked it up in the end - not a proper word in my opinion

I've seen and heard it used before, and it is defined in that sense in some dictionaries. (Trying not to leave spoilers here!)
But ... it's also in Merriam-Webster, Collins, Dictionary.com, and others under an older, more technical definition.
Oh, and Urban Dictionary under a drug reference!
It's a word, but not a "good word" IMHO either.

Not sure if it is still brewed, but used to be the name of a beer brewed in Hawaii.

It's an Italian (and Spanish) word, I saw it used in English but only in fantasy settings with parts derived from ancient Rome. Honestly it was a last ditch (though if I used my usual second starter I may have reached it earlier).

Had to look this one up (after guessing it correctly) even though I knew I've seen that word before.
Of course I have, I've seen it in classical music, but how the heck is this an English word?

Weird one, but not much left to guess after 2nd attempt.

For 24" i can accept full hd. But I can't accept 16:9.
At 24" i would take a 16:10 1200p over any 16:9, no matter the resolution, color accuracy, contrast, or frame rate. Heck, i would run a 16:10 1200p with VGA if that is what it take (ehm.. i do.. I really should get that HDMI connector soldered back on).
But just go into a random shop and look at the displayed screens. Is the text too pixelated for your liking? If it is, consider paying for higher resolution. If not, no need to (assuming programming is the main activity.... If not, what are you doing here?)

I was literally just at a store drooling over this bad boy.
Except they've sold out. And I don't actually need one. But it's so nice...

Sweet! But what's wrong with VGA?
Actually, my newest monitor has enough resolution that it whines about my video card being unable to make use of it. Naturally, I just had to takes its advice and order a new video card. It's a very nice monitor, too. My last two gave their lives to teach me an important lesson; sitting in front of the PC is not the ideal place to clean and reassemble a .45 ACP model 1911 pistol. Those barrel bushings can get mighty frisky.
