Need a new wall clock for the bedroom. Somebody stop me from buying an eink display that I can hang off a Raspberry Pi or something and also hitting NOAA occasionally to put a weather forecast up there along with the time...

(or, you know, being an enabler and giving me a suggestion for a programmable eink+wifi device that I don't have to do a lot of mucking around with to make work...)

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
