I could tell you a story of a pi and a touchscreen and just some HTML, CSS and Javascript to make it :)

There isn't a single thing I made more than 15 years ago in my house which:

(a) required an operating system

(b) still works

It all bitrots to hell. For comparison, everything I've made on a PIC, Atmel, ESP, etc. continues working.

FPGAs have a more mixed track record; the devices work, but they're unmaintainable (the dev toolchains require e.g. Windows NT and some activation server which no longer exists).

Things I've made out of wood, metal, and similar materials work too, as do PCBs I designed with analog.

My point is I want a piece of hardware and not a computer.
