Hey bud, thanks for the honesty and I feel your pain! You're an incredible engineer and I've looked up to you (even though we are the same age) since hanging out at Kiip. Our tools should be getting better not worse. Hopefully your influence can be a canary in the coal mine to make some real change to reliability. -D

I purchased one of the Lumora gas displays and it works well. Simple enough to build yourself (laser cut, 3d print) if you have the gas filled tubes. Fun to have my kids guess what color a gas will glow.

Those looks like LED strips inside of frosted tubes. The connectors on the bottom are similar to 3 prong connectors used in LED strips.

I did a similar pet project about 12 years ago called Graffiti City. It was very simple map that displays pins where reported cases of destruction of property with paint, aka graffiti art, throughout the city of San Francisco. This uses public data available at data.sfgov.org.

In my area it's mostly Home Depot and Lowes parking lots. Time to start shopping online more. I'm looking at options for hiding my LP from AI cameras.
