- gherkin0 11y ago> It's cool, but maybe too expensive and underpowered? I feel like that would come with the territory of a niche, small-batch device. They wouldn't be large enough to benefit from economies of scale, and they're not bringing in enough money to employ teams of engineers to optimize and refresh the hardware regularly.
- benologist 11y agoPyra is too. €290 vs €480 vs ... substantially-comparable devices for like $100 on Amazon today.
- ekianjo 11y agoWell, Freedom does not come for cheap. And most 100 USD devices you refer to are non-upgradable or have no long term support.
- skykooler 11y agoThat's the issue with any device like this with small production runs - you can't get the same bulk discounts on components for a few hundred devices as you can when making, say, 10,000. Unfortunately, larger runs require larger investments, and most people who are interested in these projects do not have the resources to back such a big project.
