+===Chromium freeze/crash fix===
+
+In spring 2024 one of the kiosks started crashing after displaying only a few slides. I suspect it was a build-up of croft after running continuously for several years.
+
+The fix was:
+
+1. do an update/upgrade
+
+ sudo apt update
+ sudo apt full-upgrade
+
+2. get rid of Chromium cache and data
+
+ sudo rm -R /home/pi/.cache/chromium
+ sudo rm -R /home/pi/.config/chromium
+
+3. for good measure, also turn off hardware acceleration in Chrome -> Aettings -> Advanced
