      Scalp their own product and sell it for a markup just like how Nintendo does it with amibos and mini consoles.

      What do you think they should do? Manufacturing more won’t help; bots will buy all available initial stock regardless. You can try using exclusive channels, but then you exclude a whole lot of people who will naturally get upset. Increasing the initial price will piss people off, too.

        They’re only valuable for scalpers because they’re so hard to get. If they wouldn’t constantly put business orders above consumer orders, the demand for scalping would evaporate just like it has for every other consumer electronic device. People aren’t selling PS5s for $1000 anymore because you can just go buy one from the store.

    Hi, can someone point me to a good resource where I can ask for DIY solution of home speaker.

    I need home speakers that can play music and messages from home machine.

    Target music is something like jellyfin, messaging is not decided.

    Goal is to have a speaker per room like Apple speaker, but controllable from Linux.
