@leighelse @Anachron For clarification, no. These require a user to self host a home assistant server (which is easy!). You're able to use any SBC for this.
The idea behind this is that rather than spending 80 dollars on one speaker, you could buy two speakers + sbc.
Home Assistant do the same thing with their own speaker. (They also do cloud, although that's not the point of the PineVox.)
(their speaker: home-assistant.io/voice-pe/ )
The PineVox CAN do voice wake up detection locally though.

That's terrible!
That's fine, I'm still learning.
Why can't I get this to work?
It's fine, just keep being myself and keep practicing!
It doesn't have to be perfect. It just needs to be done!

New interview with me in CU Boulder Today: "Why Meta fired its fact-checkers and what you can do about it" colorado.edu/today/2025/01/10/…
Basically, shilling the fediverse.
Why Meta fired its fact-checkers and what you can do about it
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently announced that the company would fire its fact-checkers and instead rely on its users, with the help of AI, to police FacebookCU Boulder Today
Personally, I'd regulate them along boundaries, so US free speech absolutism cannot leak out of the US. EU rules apply in EU, say, and are rigorously applied in each geography. If that means these corporations see no business model in EU, then great!
I'd at the very least legislate (preferably universally) that the algorithm be open and subject to scrutiny and legal control.

New Math Suggests 'Impossible' Third Type of Particle Could Exist
Quantum mechanics has long classified particles into just two distinct types: fermions and bosons.
Now physicists from Rice University in the US have found a third type might be possible after all, at least mathematically speaking. Known as a paraparticles, their behavior could imply the existence of elementary particles nobody has ever considered.
