Here's a rust version i made with bitmapped fonts for both i2c and SPI https://github.com/scopenews/minimalSSD1306driver/ I was running this on my pi as a demo.

I normally work with C++ on esp32 for these little displays, and in there I use a screen buffer for partial refreshes which makes them very fast !!

We went to the Dunbrody Famine ship exhibit in New Ross, Ireland a few years back. It was a neat exhibit, first they seat you in a dark small room and show a movie detailing the situation, then the wall opens up and the ship is nicely framed in the view, sitting outside in the River Barrow.

They then take you out to tour the ship.

Is this an actual problem to be solved? I would not want our repo "attached" to devices capable of one click operations.

I enjoy coming up with questions deemed so politically incorrect that alexa responds with a BONK noise.

Ended up on Elmendorf Air Force Base (at the hospital) this way once as a little kid in the early 1980s. The bus actually went from Anchorage onto the air force base and then called it quits. That was definitely my station of despair. "Mom... drive onto the military base and get me."

Maybe we should take both answers, paste them into a new chat and ask for a summary amalgamation of them

I switched away from full solid copper floods due to this. (Even with nice soldering equipment.) I still use full size floods but they are more like basket-weave patterns, probably 50% copper. I rotate the pattern on my second inner plane.

Four layer boards are so cheap now, it's all I choose. I usually do two internal ground planes and route my power on one side unbroken. I haven't made an interrupted return path since watching Rick Hartley videos.

I love perl. I work with it every day still, 25 years later. I recently rewrote a cellular provisioning API in it to be fully object oriented.

I do not write it to win an obfuscation contest. I like it to be read as easily as possible. It is a joy to watch the core objects of the system work together so cleanly.

My friends and I played Wizardry on an Apple II with a green screen for so long that it would blast out the green receptors in our eyes for a while afterwards, and everything would be pink hued.

Tethering to 5G and LTE enabled cell phones in this situation is very common. They are certainly getting rid of their broadband fiber, cable or DSL before their discounted cell services.

Surely you can very discretely and ergonomically use this... if you move your lid jussttt above the point where it decides it is closed and then tap.
