Procrasturbate<p>Well, I did another search for any Pi I could get my hands on and bam… found one. Pi 3 A+. </p><p>Not ideal due to the size but I can make it work. Now all I need to do is order the components for the audio amp board I’m going to use. </p><p>This is the first I built, with the wrong sized components. But it works. I’ve measured everything now so I can build something less ugly.

Cop-A-Chuckle, Scanner Comedy<p>So we finish giving our smart speaker a command, but the speaker's mic is still open. Just then, someone on the scanner rattles off "495." Our smart speaker hears this and, in its never-ending quest to be helpful, informs us that 495 minutes is 8.25 hours. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SmartSpeaker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SmartSpeaker</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SpeakerGoof" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpeakerGoof</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ScannerFunnies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScannerFunnies</span></a></p>
