Which a $3 ESP32 can handle instead.

Where do you get your ESP32s from? They're $10 each on Amazon

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 1 points 56 seconds ago

AliExpress. I only use Amazon for stuff like this if I need it within a day or two.

I've been enjoying tinkering with the Pico. In my experience it's easier to flash than an esp chip.

Yup. If you really need GPIO + any real power, either go with an ARM board from AliExpress or do NUC + ESP32 with a serial connection between them.
