Glances at #instructables, tries to read a couple of projects, rolls eyes and sighs that every single project description now seems to be #slopware writing, gives up and closes the tabs.
FFS what's happening to our hobby. 🙄😡
If you're interested/excited about your project and want to share it, why the fuck would you AI generate your write up.

OMFG! Saw this in my email and I thought it was a prop from Outer Wilds. But no – it's a fully-functional handheld scanner for locating radio signals from astronomical bodies! AND it looks awesome 🤩

Saw this project on #Instructables from #Moononournation https://www.instructables.com/IoT-Emoji-Sign-V2/
It's a fun project, but I was more interested in the 8x8 #Neopixel #Matrix
So I bought a couple of the #Waveshare #ESP32S3 8x8 boards, and printed out a couple of cases.
The boards work really well - I had an idea in mind when I ordered them, but now I forgot what I wanted to do with them.... I guess I'll make an #emjoi #display after all..... LOL

IoT Emoji Sign V2: This instructables show how to use a Waveshare ESP32-S3-Matrix build a simple IoT Emoji Sign. This is the revamped version of my previous project: https://www.instructables.com/IoT-Emoji-Sign/
