i am violently angry at the sheer human accomplishment that the homepods are. the fact that they were discontinued is quite literally for those who know a national shame.
@sneak can you elaborate on this? Why? What’s so great about it?
@O the audio reproduction tech is obscenely advanced, literally nothing else that size and price comes remotely close to the level of audio tech and quality in them. there are a half dozen non-obvious technical features they did that are so involved that nobody else has bothered
@sneak they also weren't built to last, they have over heating & some weak electrical component issues that make them eventually spontaneously kill themselves. They are also subject to the software disease where all software gets slower as the chip platform stays the same.
the DRM preventing them from using their onboard bluetooth hardware
