In this life, we’re all just trying to stay steady amidst the chaos. https://hackaday.com/2025/10/09/2025-component-abuse-challenge-load-cell-anemometer/ #HurricaneLife #FeelingSmall #Endurance #Nature'sPower #WeAreAllConnected

Remember when software was supposed to make our lives easier? It's time to stop praising every flashy update and start holding these companies accountable.
