I shamelessly hate everything TE has ever done. Their shit is underpowered for the price, and looks like a children's toy. This thing looks like a shitty third party answering machines accessory for the NES from like 1985. But for some reason the hipsters love the minimal aesthetics squonky bleep bloop boxes. Meanwhile I could buy three kinds of volcas for half the price and actually have a functional setup.

They're primarily a design company. The aesthetic is the selling point. It's like buying a Mac to play videogames. It'll play em, but not as well as something much cheaper.
