Anyone I've told about this irl wasn't as excited as me, so I figured I'd share it here :)

Nearly a year ago I got an ePaper display panel from seeed studios that I'd wanted for the longest time. A couple months ago I finished what I aimed to do. The finished project is a panel that connects to my internet and updates hourly with CISA KEVs (Known Exploited Vulnerabilities) and BleepingComputer news articles and displays them on a straightforward display panel with no cords.

Since it's ePaper, it uses almost no electricity besides when it's updating. Because of that, I haven't charged it since August 4th (2 months ago) and it's still running strong.

This was my first time working with ePaper, Arduino, or programming in C/C++, so I'm quite happy with how it turned out! Unfortunately, as the title says my excitement didn't resonate as much with my friends/coworkers, so I'm hoping at least someone else thinks ePaper setup is as cool as I do.

I know it's may not be as crazy as some of the stuff here, but if you've got any suggestions or input I'd love to hear!

I've also got the github repo for it, but apparently we aren't allowed to post those (???)
