$40 dev kit, of which ESP32-S3 itself costs $5. We're at the point where it's cheaper to buy another ESP32 module if you break it than to buy a case for it.

It's also wild that ESP32 can run a HTTPS web server all by itself over WiFi with no other components except for USB power supply. And you could probably do this with ESP32-C3 for $2.
