Furrtek has been playing with those things too. Maybe he knows things you don't and vice versa. https://github.com/furrtek/PrecIR

#7I've been sitting on the idea of putting several of these tags around the house and have them display quote, jokes, and facts.
The best guide I've found so far is this one [0], as it uses easy to procure tags + guides on GitHub + offers an application to auto-upate tags via screenshot area of a website and seems like it could be done in an afternoon.
However, I'm hoping to find an even more streamlined approach that I could turn into a gift to others (assuming they want a 3rd party device on their network), where the tags sync to a raspberry pi (or similar cheap USB powered device), and it uses very cheap tags, if anyone has done this or has plans.

#8I wish there was a self-contained e-ink 10 inch screen that would just sit on my network and accept URLs to display in sequence. Possibly with an equivalent to a Raspberry Pi 3 to SSH into.

Does he mention a price or part number at some point? I'm quite a good way in, and he hasn't mentioned anything, and the description is empty.
EDIT: I see the description now, they're called Hanshow Stellar and sell for $20-$25 a piece. Not the price point I thought of when I heard "cheap", but eh.

You could take a look at a project I recently made, it’s very easy to put together and run a server to do what you want!
