Now it turns out that kids at school are spreaders (especially of the new variant) - one of my friends who is a teacher has it.

N=1, but childcare has been the biggest avenue of infections I've seen here in Germany. Basically every childcare of colleagues with children has been shut down at one point in October/November (when the numbers started rising here) due to infections among the children. In most cases one or multiple of the families have been completely infected as a result of that, and I guess the only reason it hasn't spread around…

N=1 as well, but we haven't seen a single case of it. In the area, I'm aware of one school that had a case of COVID a few months ago, and our local one - in which our child is nominally enrolled, but isn't attending physically - lasted with zero cases until two weeks ago.

Super agree. Its either "I'm bored out of my wits" or "i'm exhausted with my kids" Folks with more time and energy on their hands have managed spend it all on a broad variety of rabbit holes. Folks with kids have managed to wither whatever minutes were left away, looking at the other group's reports on their rabbit hole expeditions Both, together have managed to give google enough confidence to double their ads and d…

Thats only if you believe raising kids isn't a rabbit hole expedition. Quite a few people are just too confused, clueless and unconscious of what expeditions they are on.

Other than watch-like functions, can you give me some ideas?

Not sure why but the first thing that came to my mind was making HamsterTV set for your hamster. I don't even own a hamster currently and haven't owned one in few decades. I think I'm watching way too much random youtube makers.

I like where you're going with this.

The hamster will of course also need buttons to change the channel to other hamster-related programming if he or she so desires. :)

A bit off-topic but related to the intro in this readme.. > Why? > I'm super bored in lockdown. Add a Raspberry Pi 400 and a few tiny displays... I feel like there are two distinct kinds of lockdown experience. One, you have kids, and you have absolutely no free time because now your kids are home and you're working from home. Two, you don't have kids, and you're super bored every day. Seems like not much in between.

I have all the time in the world and am completely bored senseless.

There is a "happy" medium between the two I assure you. Personally, I basically have two friends, neither of which I have seen for a few months now - one won't leave the house, and the other "friend" is probably a mild psychopath. Bored and lonely, what a combination...

> together have managed to give google enough confidence to double their ads and disable the "skip ad" buttons on youtube. Just in case there's anyone from Google reading this: I'm tolerant of ads. I'd like the option to "skip the first ad" but watch the second. Or just put the short ad first. Sometimes I don't mind watching a 15 second ad, but I really don't want to watch a 4 minute ad.

This is especially true if I'm not even sure I want to watch the video. If I follow a link to a random youtube video there's a 50/50 chance I'll stop watching after 10 seconds of content. Having to watch even 5 seconds of ads before that makes me avoid following links in the first place.

I don't have kids and I don't think I've gotten bored once - I had the time to watch a whopping two TV shows this year.

I'm honestly struggling with finding more time to do stuff and I don't have any kids. I have loads of side projects I want to work on, loads of games I want to play, books I want to read, movies and tv shows I want to watch and I have a relationship takes up a lot of my time. I was doing Adventure of Code this year and I haven't managed to finish the last 7 days because I haven't had time for it yet. Though I strongl…

> Maybe the relationship is the biggest difference.

Yes, I am a newlywed, married just before the lockdowns started in a stroke of great luck. My wife and I have fared pretty well, even though she is in a vulnerable group and so we have been in isolation together since March. We have kept ourselves entertained but don't have kids yet. It might be a little strange adapting to regular married life after this. We went right into isolation after our honeymoon..

Really the biggest toll this pandemic has taken is on my liver

There's a lotta cool/interesting applications for a tiny display like that. Thanks for sharing. :).

Other than watch-like functions, can you give me some ideas?

A display for a pihole or a display for a pi based streamer
