    IoT widgets are cool, but it would be interesting what you could do if you could make the MCU kits completely flat. Very thin, with a completely flat LCD on top, such that you could mount it to the surface of a laptop and run something this fastened on its lid: esp mon running on a makerfabs esp display 7" - YouTube[^] But much much thinner than that. It's 2024. We missed out on the Jetson's style flying briefcase car. Instead, we got the cyberpunk dystopia the sci fi authors promised us. In recompense, I want flat computers.

      (related ?) I think that was the idea when Apple added a Touch Bar instead of regular keys. it was far from perfect as keys replacement, but it was a good idea.

            Hadn't noticed, but I've watched another program in the series a while back so yeah it's possible.

                One of my ex-colleagues worked on one of the Apollo on-board computers. He had some interesting stories about the constraints they had to work within.
