4 again - not an easy one (until there was only one word I could think of that fitted the results of third guess)!

I got the two vowels on the first go but in the wrong place 3 times, by that stage I could eliminate 10 letters and I brute forced it.

So I've finally decided to give it a try...
Entered all six five-letter words I could come up with, but unfortunately the answer was a word I've never even heard of (and apparently it's the same in Dutch) 
This is also why I don't enter the CCC.

I got the beast of a widget - the Lilygo T5 4.7" working with GFX.
Man this thing is hard to code for. I actually have to use both cores of the CPU to update the display due to having to transfer from the frame buffer to DMA capable RAM as I'm feeding the display over I2S.
This is mainly because the e-paper panel does not have a display controller. To save money, the MCU is the display controller. The panel is wired directly to the MCU via like 14 pins and driven with I2S. It is very finicky, and timing sensitive. I thought the RA8875 was bad, but it's positively well behaved compared to this.
I spent most of my morning fighting bootloops, some without any error messages.

I wondered the attraction to epaper as display. Did some research. I get it. Good job.
Might make some money.

Sorry I laughed but what can I say? That was funny.

Was this at a McDonalds drive in?

You mean, in keeping with the 5-7-5 Haiku rule:
Sorry about that
I hope it's not McDonald's
You can sue them too.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Well, I made it! I started to seriously try solving these in 2018, solving maybe 3 or 4 a year. Then this year something clicked (or broke) and I started solving them more regularly - a couple times a week maybe. So I set a goal to solve one in time to be the setter. I finally made it, and I set the clue for Monday the 28th of March - my birthday!
