someone in the neighborhood is grilling chicken and I want to float out my window piloted by my nose until I find them

So, a few months ago, I built some Meshtastic devices. I thought it would be a good idea to leave one in the window of my upstairs office. Turns out that window gets direct bright sun for a few hours on clear days.

Also turns out that's a ticket to spicy pillow town for the battery in the device and really biffs the little display panel. Oops
