I just today decided to build a Pwnagotchi[0], and I've got a spare M5Stack[1] sitting in a closet, so it looks like I now have two projects for this weekend!

Even though the ESP family has been around for a while, I continue to be amazed by what people can accomplish with such resource constrained (by today's standards) embedded systems.

By today's standards, indeed. Those devices are very powerful for their size. A single one would be able to coordinate a fleet of moon landers.
Pwnagotchi was a lot of fun when I was actually commuting to work and travelling through the city and other dispersed areas. Not so much for me now.
