Kade sizwa futhi sikhuluma ngomsizi obonakalayo wamahhala, uMycroft, izinyanga ezimbalwa. Idizadi engakhiwa ku-Gnu / Linux ngakho-ke isetshenziswe ku-Raspberry Pi noma elinye ibhodi le-SBC. Lokhu bekusho ukuthi iMycroft iyindlela yamahhala neyimfihlo ye-Amazon Echo neGoogle Home. Kepha kubonakala sengathi ngeke kusaba njalo isikhathi eside.
Muva nje, ithimba le-Mycroft lembule i-Mycroft Mark II , idivayisi ezogcina i-Mycroft entsha futhi ngeke isebenzise ihadiwe evulekile kodwa ihadiwe eyimfihlo.
I-Mycroft Mark II iyisipikha esihlakaniphile esilingisa ukuma kwe-Google Home, kodwa ngokungafani ne-last, i-Mark II iqukethe isikrini se-LCD esibonisa ulwazi olufana nesikhathi, isimo sezulu, izithombe, njll. Lesi yisici izimbangi zayo ezingenaso futhi abasebenzisi abaningi abasicelayo.
Njengoba kunjalo ngeMycroft, inkampani iqalise umkhankaso wokuqoqa imali ukuze iqoqe imali yokuthengiswa kwayo . Nakuba kusenezinsuku ezingama-26 ezisele kumkhankaso weKickstarter , iMycroft Mark II isivele iqoqe imali engaphezu kuka-$100.000 kumgomo wayo ongu-$40.000.
Futhi nge-Mycroft Mark II, impikiswano esizoyizwa kabanzi ngayo ivele obala: ubumfihlo bedatha yethu . I-Mycroft inesistimu esusa izingxoxo ngemva kwesikhathi esithile. Ziyasuswa kudivayisi futhi azidluliselwa kwamanye amadivayisi, ngokungafani namanye amadivayisi afana ne-Google Home ne-Amazon Echo, empeleni aqopha ngenkathi idivayisi ingasetshenziswa, ithumela lonke ulwazi kumaseva ayo amakhulu.
Isaziso asithophisi kangako, kepha singakhetha ukukhetha izixazululo zethu ngaso sonke isikhathi. Esikhathini esithile esidlule sakhuluma ngendlela yokwakha umsizi wethu ongokoqobo sibonga i-Free Hardware, indlela esebenza kahle futhi ewusizo yokuqala ukwakha umsizi wethu siqu, wangasese nowamahhala.
