1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

Windcheater ? (7)

All I've got is PANTHER
.
* Cheater sounds like Cheetah (a big cat), Panther is another type of big cat
* Panther = Pant + Her
. . o Pant = is puffing out air (so could be wind?)
. . o Her = No idea
I hope that I am wrong

You are (wrong)  I like your reasoning though

solution for the dullards?
I can see the twist for wind in the clue (now that we have the solution) but can't figure the cheater part.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

"Twister" is a name for a tornado, or hurricane.
A "Twister" is also a cheater.

First you will need those Pi boards - they became scarce and cost a lot...

The Raspberry PI was a throw away computer, you find them being used in place of microcontrollers as they are easier to program(!). 
|
|
|
|
|
Now if this cluster was for the Pi Zero that would be something. Small, cheap and as far as I know available.
|

Programming them sucks though, and you'd have to find a way to network them.
Or you could use an ESP32 and its ESP-NOW wireless mesh to handle the traffic.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.
