Всегда мечтал быть тем чуваком, которому присылают тестовые версии устройств на зацен, ещё до поступления в продажу. И вот Сбер таки прислал.
Год назад я писал о выходе SberPortal — умной колонки с экраном. Тогда казалось, что акцент у Сбера именно такой — обязательное наличие экрана даже при голосовом управлении. Но сейчас они выпустили voice-only устройство: SberBox Time. Нет, его всё ещё можно подключить к телевизору, но это не обязательно, и по факту колонка является чем-то средним между большой и маленькой Яндекс Станциями, с уклоном в большую: и звук помощнее, и HDMI есть.
Устройство пока не продаётся, но некоторым разработчикам под Сбер выслали демонстрационные экземпляры. Стоит сразу отметить любопытную дизайнерскую находку — аналоговые часы вместо дисплея. Находка именно что любопытная. По факту сугубо на мой взгляд часы не являются ни шибко красивыми, ни тем более удобными. Определять по ним время тяжело, а из-за матового стекла лично у меня постоянно возникает желание настроить резкость. Однако, сама мысль скрещивать хайтек с чем-то более конвервативным звучит привлекательно. Возможно, я становлюсь старым, а может, просто устал от повсеместной цифровизации всего вокруг, но даже при субъективно спорном дизайне часики вполне приятно разместились на стеллаже.
Впрочем, колонка пока что сырая — ложные срабатывания, неопределённо скачущая громкость, ошибки в ответах. К счастью, это всё исправляется апдейтами софта, а Сбер за прошедший год показал себя очень внимательным в вопросе фикса багов, и опередил здесь по скорости всех конкурентов. Посмотрим, что из этого выйдет.
Прикольная мелочь: на офсайте SberBox Time предлагают скачать модели для 3D-печати и "надеть" на колонку всякие ушки, рожки, плавники, крылья итд. Я сначала подумал, что это полный бред, но для интереса распечатал, и надо сказать очень мило вышло, даже мне взрослому не хочется снимать, а уж дети то вообще должны быть в восторге (известно, что дети составляют значительную долю среди пользователей умных колонок).

5 phrasal verbs with “PAY”
I shared the questions first on purpose — to make you think before seeing the meanings.
That struggle helps the meanings stick better than passive reading.
If a meaning surprised you, that’s good — it means your brain is actually learning.
