No way electrical toothbrushes have hundreds of megs of RAM. I thought that they were tiny embedded systems with an ATMega-tier CPU at most, if at all more than a switch, battery, and motor.
There was also one on Hackaday recently, that runs a website from a solar powered ESP32.
And yeah, hundreds of MB RAM is also news to me. Quite a bit overengineered.
