Retro Weather Display Acts Like It’s Windows 95
Sometimes you really need to know what the weather is doing, but you don’t want to look at your phone. For times like those, this neat weather display from [Jordan] might come in handy with its throwback retro vibe.
The build is based around the ESP32-2432S028—also known as the CYD, or Cheap Yellow Display, for the integrated 320 x 240 LCD screen. [Jordan] took this all-in-one device and wrapped it in an attractive 3D-printed housing in the shape of an old-school CRT monitor, just… teenier. A special lever mechanism was built in to the enclosure to allow front panel controls to activate the tactile buttons on the CYD board. The ESP32 is programmed to check Open-Meteo feeds for forecasts and current weather data, while also querying a webcam feed and satellite and radar JPEGs from available weather services. These are then displayed on screen in a way that largely resembles the Windows 95 UI design language, with pages for current conditions, future forecasts, wind speeds, and the like.
We’ve seen some fun weather displays over the years, from graphing types to the purely beautiful. If you’ve found a fun way to display the weather (or change it) don’t hesitate to notify the tipsline. Particularly in the latter case.

@mattblaze Nice photo 😁👍. However, as impressive as they are, these turbines are tiny. Looks like 250 kWatt turbines from the 1980-ties. Currently 15-20 MWatt turbines, I.e. almost 100 times as powerful, are put in operation in offshore wind farms. These turbines have 150 m high towers, 115m long wings, meaning that they reach almost 300 m (must be close to 1000 feet) from the sea surface. Below from the Thor wind farm in Danish North Sea, just connected to grid.

Talmente tanto da imparare e da seguire e così poco tempo, e poca energia residua, da dedicare

OK, vado a dormire¹ altrimenti mi tocca parlar male di un morto. Che se lo merita, eh.
¹ O forse vado a leggere un libro, comunque vado via da qui.

@grabbi_it l'autista di autobus può fare obiezione di coscienza e guidare solo bus elettrici, un programmatore può scegliere anche di programmare in basic sul commodore 64, o di usare libri della O'Reilly invece di Google per fare il debug di errori, ma tra le altre cose la AI per risolvere problemi informatici è molto più efficace del vagare incerto per mille forum di supporto tecnico...
