<story><title>Yet another E-Ink weather display – but with Rust</title><url>https://harrystern.net/halldisplay.html</url></story><parent_chain></parent_chain><comment><author>eulers_secret</author><text>I&amp;#x27;m a simple man, and did something similar but with bash+mosquitto+imagemagick running on a Kindle. That&amp;#x27;s boring&amp;#x2F;been done, but what I want to talk about is screen burn-in.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve been displaying slight variations of the same image on an old Kidle paperwhite for a bit over 5 years! I&amp;#x27;ve noticed &lt;i&gt;NO&lt;/i&gt; burn-in at all. I&amp;#x27;m doing partial updates every refresh (30 second refreshes), so the display will go 1+ years without a full refresh (~1 million partial refreshes a year). There&amp;#x27;s some retention when I first work with it, but clearing the screen and showing a full-screen pattern is enough to remove that retention entirely.&lt;p&gt;Pretty impressive, and I am also impressed the old firmware stays attached to wifi for the whole time as well! Sometimes it can have trouble reconnecting (power outage, dog unplugged wifi, whatever), that&amp;#x27;s when I&amp;#x27;ll see if there&amp;#x27;s burn-in, probably once a year(ish).</text></comment>
