Especially to a device that only interacts with me when I’m setting a timer or yelling over the too-loud music for it to shut the fuck up. That sounds nothing like a family member.

I’m into Arduino and ESP32 and other small electronics. Aliexpress is my best friend. They have it down to about 2 weeks for delivery, pretty consistently. Or if you can’t wait, Amazon can get you the same products by the end of the day for twice the price.
