infernal machines posted:i'm not the one who made the differentiation apologies misread and didnt see the "actually" in your question. what youre saying is essentially correct that the venn diagram between home audio and talking speakers is p. much direct overlap fart simpson posted:probably it’s only that high because google and amazon basically give them away for free. i think my dad got his google home mini for like $10 its absolutely because theyre given away for free but isnt that the point? i understand the management is right that apple simply cannot make an inexpensive product but i guess where i get confused is why apple cant do so even when the cheap things sell the expensive things. its doubly galling that the expensive things are still expensive but noticeably worse than the products of 5 years ago if this macbook im typing on is any indication

lutron dimmers are great with homekit, pretty rock solid along with hue. I have to reboot ikea’s hub occasionally to resume functionality though.

LastInLine posted:depending on how youre measuring 41% of us households have smart speakers (as of the end of 2018) and that's better market penetration than tablets or wearables this is the thing thats finally turning me from a normal sociable person into some kind of fsf gnuman toecheese pariah because ive started to ask people to turn them off if im at their house for any length of time and they keep popping on in the middle of conversations ive been gifted three now because theyre so loving subsidized and pushed by amazon that people go "oh i bet the cs guy would like this". the first two i just did the polite acceptance thing then took to electronics recycling but the third one i tried to politely refuse while saying i dont want one in my home. it was awkward but loving amazon shouldnt be able to set a social norm of putting their ears in your home and life then make you feel weird for going "no thanks" all alexas are bastards
