@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.
@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.
@DavidGoldfield@mcourcel@modulux@simon To clarify this tweet in a direct reply, my use of the word "overpriced" was expressed unclearly. As someone who is highly technical and owns multiple raspberry pies, multiple Linux machines, has access to a 3d printer, and so-on, it's far harder for me to justify the price (that is both real and fair) that support, software development, updates, etc, etc involves. What I was trying to express was that for me, I could get the components much cheaper, and spend my time instead of my money building something vaguely similar. But I haven't spent either time or money on it, because both time and money are limitted resources, and the BT Speak is something I want badly, not need badly.
@mcourcel@DavidGoldfield@modulux@simon I do not. But I have two friends, each of whom live within ten minutes of me, who do. The Ottawa Public Library also has several, and you can submit files to them if you have a design to print.
