I can offer 2 potential answers.
- Point the webcam at the sign.. Problem corrected.
- Raspberry Pi projects can be seen much like Lego sets. You buy them because of what they are but you then create whole new things with it especially if you happen to own maybe a couple other sets to include.
In terms of learning to program, this could be a website which you pick apart the HTML, CSS, & Javascript to construct it but then use pieces of this with pieces of that to make something new which is more your own... part of a common method of learning.
In the same vein, this is a somewhat simple project in which isn't difficult to see how your work on "A" results in product "B" but aspects of it could be pieced together with other ideas you may have to create something not so entirely different but not necessarily the same. For example, I could see where the same system with a different software implementation could be used to issue the secret words to whomever's turn it is at Charades, or Taboo, or Pictionary, etc without having to bring cards along. Then you expand on that to have it able to roll virtual dice and a few projects later, it's your pocket sized Game Night RPi you have ready to take around as soon as COVID limitations let up...
Someone has tried adding to the world instead of tearing it down for reasons and outcomes that I can't imagine affect you any more negatively than not catching a green light while driving. May I suggest in the future that you could just choose to ignore it?
