  Ah well, a Pi Zero I suppose is less overkill.

    There was some science-fiction writer in the mid 20th century argued that each household would have one humanoid robot. Because, he said, if you have a robot vacuum and a robot lawnmower etc. you’d need multiple computers, and that’s overkill.

    Sounds silly in hindsight because a ‘whole computer’ turned out to be cheap and small, and it’s not a big deal to have multiple.
