<p>Stocks: Two weeks EOD prices from Polygon.io (max SRAM holds). Flask app on VPS
relays feed, lets me swap symbols via config. FastCGI + httpd + htpasswd.</p>

<p>gui_plot_stocks() triggers WDT. vTaskDelay() prevents that. Stepped graph was
easier to code for the bit-packed framebuffer (not enough memory for much
else), but it’s messy–too messy.</p>

<p>Note to self: Refactor gui_plot_stocks(). Bresenham’s line algorithm perhaps?</p>

<p>News: Channel NewsAsia RSS. MCU parses XML directly. Character glyphs stored as
bitmaps in sprites directory.</p>

<p>Weather: DHT22 via PWM. 26µs/50µs/70µs pulses too fast for standard ESP32 APIs.
Compare relative pulse widths:</p>

<p>After flashing new versions, display would stop responding. Didn’t observe this
with e-reader. Issue occurs spontaneously. Couldn’t find root cause. Making a
change like adding a comment or tweaking delay in refresh() (then changing
back) fixed it. Noisy electrical connections?</p>

<p>Once running, it runs: August 2024 - December 2025.</p>
