It also, and I would say more commonly, means a round thing that can be turned. I've never heard of anyone avoiding the term.

I doubt anyone from the UK would call their product or company "knob" these days.

Knob the Yob has a certain catch to it.

No microphone input, no speakers, and no included months of Codex membership. What is the point of this device?

Finally we see what Jony Ive was cooking at Open AI. The long foretold iPhone killer has finally arrived. And with the 100% perfect speech to text model that Open AI with zero flaws that works with all accents on all devices, this will finally remove the clunky keyboard.

This one in collaboration with Work Louder[1] a company that specialized on mechanical keyboard. I don't see Jony Ive in this. Or maybe your comment is sarcasm, I can't tell.

As someone with a few unused Teenage Engineering things. The real answer is probably rich tech people who love having things that make people say "I'm not sure who the target audience is".

The TE reference is strong!

Work Louder the company behind this, is TE in mechanical keyboard industry.

Wouldn't surprise me if the real purpose of this is to get a physical object on your desk that makes you constantly think about Codex -- either babysitting your currently-running agents when it's lit up and running, or subconsciously bullying / shaming you into using Codex if you're not right at this very moment. An electronic Siren's Song if you will.

What's codex?

We need to bring back the 'turbo' button.[1] [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_button#Purpose

It's actually kind of funny that the purpose of the Turbo button was to slow your computer down so you could play games that were running too fast.

But I guess they didn't want to put a "Slow" button on their PC towers.
