Hey @DavidGoldfield can you run python on the BT Speak? Because that would be pretty cool.

@mcourcel @DavidGoldfield Isn't that thing just running Linux? Should be able to run just about anything on there.

@simon @DavidGoldfield @mcourcel Man, the BT Speak is something I really want, and really have absolutely no use for, and thus can't justify purchasing in any way.

@fastfinge @simon @DavidGoldfield @mcourcel Pretty much same situation for me. I've been telling myself not to for a while, and so far have succeeded.

@modulux @DavidGoldfield @mcourcel @simon Also, like, it's just a Raspberry Pie with a special case. If I had more time and willpower I could make something similar for a lot less money. And yet, I still want it! Even knowing exactly how overpriced it is.

@fastfinge @modulux @DavidGoldfield @mcourcel If you want to pay that much money, get one of these. www.amazon.com/GPD-Pocket-I7-1195G7-2TB-Full-Featured-Touchscreen/dp/B0B3X47BV6?crid=1BN3UXH644C9O&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.pUE4471zjeDN8vUTJT9Osna0rcBAN9nwPik3cR22W_0I6jUzr5znyj_00tmA8eE3EbnUsKVUvF6khW0Rswxbsg3qdc7JhYXSb6MG2-eEycPCM23DmtabrXjR4tux5m9IDwBicesjZE70lTHqtjtGC9hO9sBogCmDEy7fp66oQVPWIKrxcR6fwqO3vky_i7xAOyGnLnQjvfej8SNEGgEJ5zbBkBMdSL5aJOMjpWeWyZ0.yvkCTY1-yJXKYm0izBb3vFel6IxqupdPBqozGq52pQg&dib_tag=se&keywords=gpd+pocket&qid=1739055257&sprefix=gpd+pock,aps,204&sr=8-8&th=1

@simon @fastfinge @DavidGoldfield @mcourcel Isn't that kind of the anti-notion? Touchscreen input instead of braille keyboard, Win 11 rather than linux.

@modulux @fastfinge @DavidGoldfield @mcourcel You could probably install Linux on it. And it is far more powerful. It happens to have a touchscreen but also has a built-in keyboard.

@simon @DavidGoldfield @mcourcel @modulux Yes, but every time I get a new kernel I get to lose accessibility. And I get to fight with sound drivers and video drivers and all the rest. The BT Speak makes everything but userland someone else's problem. That's almost worth paying for. Almost.
