Thank you Michael. Embedded Controllers are something I personally have =
never had to deal with, except as an inviable part of things I use.

But, yes, things like that when cheap enough, make plenty of sense.

A Raspberry Pi Pico W costs less than =C2=A35, is a lot smaller, and has =
a=20
much lower power consumption than a laptop, so if it's good enough for=20
the purpose (embedded controller), why use a laptop? That's overkill!
