LOL, yes. Just in case it is of interest:

  • ESP32-S3 is the chip, this family usually comes with CPU + Bluetooth + Wifi.
  • Reverse TFT, this is a small display put on the other side of the circuit board from the chip.
  • w.FL Antenna, this is the connector on the Wifi Antenna.

I like these small boards, they are tiny and I need a magnifying glass for soldering. Its mind blowing how these tiny boards are more powerful than mainframe computers filling a room, and supporting 20 users, used to be.
