Am unexpected part of getting old is realizing you can get more computing power than your second or third desktop PC for 10$, next day shipping

Pico 2 or other R2350-based MCU: two 150 Mhz ARM cores and two similar RISC-V cores. That's more CPU than I had in a computer until an Athlon 64 in 2003-2004.

And you can buy them on a reel, for about five bucks each.

Only ~256KB RAM, though. But it's still five times as much as I had on my family's Atari 8-bit.

Sometimes I forget we're living in the future.
