The scale of the project!
You have the open source community that provides the infrastructure for support, bug reporting, testing, updates, education, communication, translation, etc...

All in the open, for millions of people with the exact same hardware, and a desire to learn from it, and improve it, can interact and share ideas.
.
The massive community that's been built around it as a target platform really results in a very stable device.

I ordered a family sized fish platter "to go" last Friday, and when I went in to pick it up, neither of the two gentleman in the kitchen were wearing masks.
I told the owner (my brother's friend from high school) that there was no way I was going to accept the order when it was prepared by people who weren't wearing masks.

He walked outside with me, and while we were chatting, he told me that the guys in the kitchen gave him an ultimatum a couple hours earlier... If they had to wear a mask, they were going to say they were exposed (we're in one of the worst hot spots in the country right now) and take the next few weeks off to quarantine.

He said after they took off their masks, every single customer that came in walked right back out. He was truly shocked that the kitchen crew seemed proud of themselves that people weren't eating there because they refused to wear a mask while in the kitchen.

The look on the cooks face said it all... I'd rather my employer go out of business than follow a safety mandate,... I hope you enjoy your food motherfucker... Oh... Now you don't want it because of me??? What do I care... It's not like you're wasting MY money...

They were so happy that they were disrupting business... Didn't seem to matter to them that it was where they worked...

My security system can do facial recognition, as well as determine if you're wearing a mask, and social distancing...
All of this can be linked to the access control system (and P.O.S. if I had one) as well.

Perhaps we've finally found a good use for AI! If you're not wearing a mask, the front door doesn't open for you. You'll also find that you're similarity prevented from checking out if you decide that you're too cool for school, and sneak in the door with someone else.

"I'm sorry sir... We are unable to sell you this merchandise if you refuse to wear a mask... It's all set at corporate, and enforced by a camera system that they installed... We have no control over it, and I will lose my job if I knowingly go against a corporate mandate, and assist you in purchasing these items. If you would like to return properly dressed to be in the store, the automated system will allow you to (freely enter, and) check out"
