    The range of difference in capabilities of different boards branded ESP32 is getting larger. Makes it tricky to figure out when someone says ‘you can run this on an ESP32’ what level of hardware investment is required.

      I am really struggling to understand what ESP32 is. I've got into adjacent things a bit recently, but haven't figured that one out yet.

        I have an ESP32 here, it can do wifi, but only like 2 requests per second or so, with 50kB of data (I didn't measure it, but that's approximately what it can do).
