@JoeRess I've been wanting to build smart speakers with SBCs because of their form factor. The problem I've run into (other than availability) is just getting audio peripherals that work without standing on top of any device. There's a lot of support from #Mycroft for Pi based devices since the #MarkI and #MarkII are both Pi based devices. A mini PC would work fine for this as well, but I don't want USB devices hanging off it everywhere. The "appliance" device is more what I'm looking for.

Mycroft is open source and the software is free to download! If you want a home automation system that's privacy-focused out of the box, check out the #markII

Yaaass! #MycroftAI #MarkII

Make the Mark II your main holiday assistant! Use the device’s wide-view angle, full color touchscreen for all your measurements and conversions in recipes - and avoid the ads for those SAME recipes in future internet searches 😑 #privacy #ChefMycroft #MarkII

Thank you, @mike for covering your impressions of the #markii !!!

IT'S FINALLY HERE!! The initial run of the #Mycroft #MarkII was almost flawless with a couple bumps I'm sure the good people at @mycroft_ai didn't anticipate for obvious reasons. The setup was almost anticlimactic because I just plugged it in and it was working perfectly within minutes, despite weird circumstances. Now, we just need to get this thing so it'll run 100% offline. That would have saved me some time and effort. 😉

@mycroft_ai .. if the #MycroftAI #MarkII was $299, you’d have a deal. At $349, it’s too steep for me.

It’s the final day of open hardware month!! Did we scare you with that tidbit? Here’s something even more festive: Happy Halloween!

@joanisc An actual #MarkII, probably not. The best you can probably get is installing Mycroft on a Linux system. The speaker/microphone on the Mark II should be tuned to not suffer from the surrounding noise issues, so if you test it on the computer and write off any audio issues you may have with speaker/microphone, you can get a good idea of it's capabilities. That's assuming you're willing to assume they didn't make any mistakes with audio tuning.
