Personally, I use Cloud-Init for automation. Its wide support across various cloud platforms and ease of use make it my go-to tool for initial server provisioning. It simplifies the process, allowing me to get things up and running quickly without needing additional dependencies.

The documentation is excellent, and the Programmable I/O (PIO) is a unique feature. Still, the lack of WiFi and Bluetooth makes the RP2040 uninteresting for me compared to the ESP32 in a DIY project. With the ESP32, I can quickly throw in a web interface and use Over-The-Air updates. I think they missed the opportunity to position them against the ESP32.

I love the idea of Kivy, an open-source, community-driven, cross-platform framework, but flutter delivers much nicer mobile apps, and QT a far better desktop apps. I do not think that I have ever used a cross-platform app that works as well on desktop as on mobile.

Since it is a used motor in a used Tesla chassis, which you can not buy replacement parts for, I guess it is probably more environmentally friendly than buying a new tesla even he is burning dinosaur juice.

For the German autobahn, a V8 is also more suitable.

At least in my bubble, even professional developers, video editors, and audio engineers use a desktop computer as their primary daily driver and do not rely on their laptop for computational power rather than as a medium for presenting their work. Some of them are even switching to tablets for presenting to clients. A desktop computer will always offer more computational power and a more straightforward and cheaper update path. Why update a perfectly well-working laptop for a newer model when you have become accustomed to the quirks and features of your current device.
