I know one of the founders of this company personally. It’s legit.
It’s a smart speaker like Alexa but issues open-source code and much more secure.

It's really not and also nothing new. Remote controlling roaches is so easy to do you could out of your own home.

Lol. The Tozo is not going to sound as good as the Nothing buds.

Sounds exactly like a $30 pair of Tozo earbuds on Amazon ($25 without wireless charging).

Tell us you don't understand what open source is without saying you don't know what open source is.

Yep! I am pretty excited for some kind of smart speaker which doesn't sell your data in a heartbeat

Cool! Agree that we def need somebody to do it, google kills products on a whim if they don’t make money and Amazon has its own set of problems

There's a huge desire in the serious home automation world (read not people who have alexa and a smart light) to move away from Google and Amazon when it comes to voice assistance. Its an outrageously difficult task, but Mycroft are a player in that game.

I looked at it and it didn’t seem like a Microsoft product. I thought I read Microsoft, then I looked closer at the company name. Didn’t realize Mycroft was a thing.
Just had to do a double take when I saw the name. Is this something you’re involved with? You seem really invested.

I don't understand this line of thinking. Why does it matter whether you've heard of them or not? Are you only interested in products from big corporations that have massive marketing budgets?

I have no connection to these guys, I didn't even back either of those campaigns. Just thought it was neat. Apparently I'm a shill for mentioning how this project got off the ground. 🤷

so Google which allows plenty of alternatives and even entire different os, are being sued while Apple gets to continue with the monopoly of its walled garden.

No one buys apple in india. But yes, apple would obviously lose a case on the same metrics.
