A friend brought a better looking one 20 years ago at a party: people loved it. The little circle thing that pops up in the one in TFA looks very cheap: I don't remember exactly how it looked in the one saw back in the days but it was better looking than the one in TFA.

It's really nothing new: I can't be the only one to remember those from a very long time ago.

The peak of European innovation! A company of 8 people, no compliance officer though so doubt this will get very far.

one hundred and twenty nine dollars is an insane amount of money to demand for that

$125, no way you got 5000+ orders.

Its initial run was cheaper, around 80 euros I think.

Nevertheless, this is still a lot of money, especially when you consider that they basically abandoned their previous product (TagTagTag) and the absurd software stacks they use (TTT uses PSQL, nginx, all that stuff on a bare Pi Zero, and "La Machine" runs an entire BEAM implementation).
