I don't know where to put this so forgive me.
I've produced something that's not really ever going to be an article, but is just a quick starting point for 13 or so different IoT devkits - mostly, but not all ESP32 based.
So like, this is more just a tip for you tinkerers out there.
Anyway, it includes inputs, display, and power management. The display uses my htcw_uix user interface library and my htcw_gfx graphics library. The inputs use various libraries of mine, like touch screens and buttons.
It's basically meant to quickly spin off a new project that you can then easily develop into a rich application, supporting one or more devices of your choosing.

My EspMon Reboot code actually uses an earlier orchestration of this, minus the input support, which took me all day.

I thought I would share an actual Windows Update success story for a change of pace.
In Sept 2018, I built a new machine with a second generation Threadripper CPU. And all of the best parts I could afford.
I was very proud of my creation, but extremely disappointed when I discovered that hibernation didn't work because the machine would always hang when trying to resume. I then updated the BIOS to the latest, but still it would hang. I made sure all the drivers were up to date, but still it would hang.
Finally, a few months ago I hibernated the machine by accident (out of habit,) and when it tried to resume, it was successful!
I credit Windows update with fixing whatever was wrong. If you think there might be a different explanation, please post. The only driver that I manually update on a regular basis is the video driver. It might have been the culprit all along, but I have no way to tell.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Last week, for the first time ever, a Windows Update hung up on itself, and I had to undo it. The Windows 10 '3rd Moment' update stuck itself on '0% cleaning up...'.  Couple hours of downtime due to MS's ever decreasing quality it seems...

So I'm working on my app, that several customers want a copy of, and I needed to create some data for further development and testing. I used the internet to collect some NMFC codes, with little being made public, for NMFC refereed me to a subscription service that was expensive. I fired up Chat GPT and asked it for a list of codes, and it gave me a small list. Then I got curious; or perhaps lazy, and pasted in my class object for the codes, and asked it to populate my sample object with the list it provided, and it did it, perfectly. Then I asked it for more unique codes, no problem.
My Chat
Common NMFC Codes
Today, I had to write a search function for the NMFC codes for MongoDB. Never done it before, so I had no idea how to do it. Used a sample from MongoDB, and it crashed from not having an index in the collection. I had no idea how to create an index, so I used the internet and got a sample, and it still crashed. Sort of frustrated and short on time, instead of going here to ask and post a question, I went to Chat GPT and asked it for help. I showed it my code, and it suggested better alternatives. Took me 20 minutes and it was up and running. I can now create the index as I seed the database.
My Chat - how I interacted with it, questions I asked
MongoDB Collection Index
Artwork
I've asked it to draw me icons, said it couldn't do artwork. It also said it wasn't connected to the internet, in which it lied.
My thoughts on ChatGPT
I'm impressed with it. Considering it's a large language model, that was fed tons of data, I used it to populate the data that I needed to work on my project, and it helped me. Google engineers say Baird is very good at completing sentences and spell checking, so I suppose ChatGPT populating my class object could be similar to completing sentences. I thought about if someone decided to take the entire Code Project database and created a large language model for it, That Code Project could be automated to help programmers in the future.
I just wanted to post my experience with ChatGPT this week, and what I used it for. You can laugh at what I used it for, or be in awe like I am. Seems to be the new Abracadabra of the information age here today, for the sovereign individual to consume and take advantage of.

Did it say that it wasn't connected to the internet, or did it say that it is not allowed to browse the internet?

It said it wasn't connected to the internet, and can't access that information.
Then I said your information came from the internet,
It sort of said it was coincidence, and apologized.

I found the Microsoft Graph docs and google threads to be very lacking as I went about syning my POS system schedules to outlook 365. I tried chatgbt and the first code snippet worked so I don't bother with google for as much anymore. It does beg the question where that monster get it's information from because Microsoft sure isn't as forthcoming about it and S.O. is not as complete as say google api or square or even intuit.

I personally think that the seeds to the large language model for Open AI were stolen from us, from our paid cloud subscriptions that we use to store whatever we store there. And that it may also have picked up more from Outlook 365 in the emails that have been written and stored as well. Then perhaps your not the first one to ask that question, and somebody else asked earlier, and you got their code sample. Take it one step further, thinking of the apps we run on AWS, Azure, and the successful code that we authored running and proving to be successful, that's a big catch to harvest.

Mine runs on a dell '08 server in my office but oh my I never thought of the code base that's running on thier boxes.

I didn't think of it till I replied to your post. My code runs on my boxes in the office as well.
