Re this from @Faintdreams:
When you hear it’s a “smart device,” ask: “Smart for whom?” dice.camp/@Faintdreams/1149361…
Yet another example of a 'Smart device' company deciding that - No. You Don't actually Own The Thing."Smart home device maker Futurehome is forcing its customers’ hands by suddenly requiring a subscription for basic functionality of its products.
“You lose access to controlling devices, configuring; automations, modes, shortcuts, and energy services,” a company FAQ page says." - ArsTechnica
arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/0…
Futurehome smart hub owners must pay new $117 subscription or lose access
The connected devices now only work manually without a subscription.Scharon Harding (Ars Technica)
Riffing on this post [mastodon.social/@nicklockwood/…] from @nicklockwood:
Same goes for "trusted," as in "trusted computing," which generally means the maker of the device can trust it to watch out for their interests rather than the user's.

I'm so happy that John and Merlin asked me back to be a guest on their Reconcilable Differences member special. We spoke for nearly two hours about movies, podcasting, parenting, and a bunch of other stuff.
The ONLY WAY to hear it is to become a Relay member so please consider joining now. Sign up at relay.fm/rd/join
Here's a clip from the show, where I *comment* on how John mispronounces the name of the Letterboxd app.
I re-listened to this episode and was unhappy with my room echo. (excuse: I was in a different spot from where I typically record)
But now I want to do more sound dampening in my office.
Does anyone have recommendations for those large panels that dampen echo that don't look super cheap?
treating a room to deaden it is not easy, at least without making it look like a recording studio. I hung a bunch of movers blankets around my recording space, which doesn’t exactly look pretty.
Alternatively, move the mic closer to keep the gain down, and maybe use one of those wraparound sound-absorbing shields around the back of the mic.
