It’s very pretty; but it’s also a little sad - that there could be demand for a big red flashing IRL “busy” indicator.

If I’m busy and if it happens so often that I can reliably buy a device like this, I would instead prefer to adjust my work environment to not be distracting, and to inform people that they should contact me at some other time.

I guess this may not always be an option.

At this point I don’t care if it cures cancer. There’s zero chance I’d ever buy it or even look at that page now. We get it. It exists. Stop spamming it.
