An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

To restore the balance, I now exchanged the yellowed sensor from the sun-exposed south side balcony with the one from the shadowy north side garden.
Should keep it more even in the long run.
Could hit it with hydrogen peroxide and UV light.
I am more concerned about structural and functional degradation (e.g. one of the battery cells seems to have taken a hit during the >>40°C summer periods).
Hydrogen peroxide and more UV exposition unfortunately won't help with that...
Largely uninteresting bonus observation:
After re-enabling all sensors, something was odd for channel two of the weather station's three channels.
Through try and error I could determine that the station latched on not to my sensor, but to a foreign one, probably belonging to one of the neighbours.
It seems to be placed outside somewhere, but at a slightly warmer (but unknown) location compared to my own sensors.
