You're comparing the output of a small business with a multinational behemoth that has the advantages in procurement and manufacturing due to volume. What's the point of making that comparison and effectively negging someone's work?

For me (i built something similar) the main advantages where:

- I control my own data - It is e-ink, not glaring into my face - Screen is way bigger - Screen is hanging on the wall, I do not have to look down - Less energy consumption of course

and most importantly:

- Google home displays are not actually helpful at all in this respect (we have one in the kitchen too) as they do not show calendar info well at all. For a family of 4 you need to be able to look at the entire week or more to plan events quickly

PS: I use a 10000mAh battery in the frame, so no cables A typical use-case is glancing at the calendar during a phone call for example

But those 3 google home smart displays are ugly, use watts of power and are spying on you.
