Not upload, live streaming, without any authentication, so ever worse.

Eufy specifically marketed their product as keeping al, your data in your home, then sent images to the cloud, and allowed anyone in the world to CONNECT TO ANY CAMERA WITH JUST VLC, WITHOUT AUTHENTICATION. And then when the news broke, they flatly denied it, when it was trivial to show it was true. They could barely have handled it worse.

I use a bone transmission headset when I go jogging, they are perfect. I don’t need high quality music, just a background to keep me pumped and entertained, and I can perfectly hear cars, bicycles, and other people passing next to me and stay safe…

Remember when this bone transmission shit never worked.

(It sort of does but Theres basically no lows at all ever)

Yeah because I want another thing that can track me, with a camera as well, which no doubtedly will require internet connectivity for some bullshit reason.

Price tag?

I’m indifferent to their looks

Audio engineer here. Yeah and that’s what actually makes it sound good anyways, theaters sound better cause bigger speakers are flowing through a bigger space and (dampened-ly) bouncing off the walls. It’s why surround sound feels surround.

This tech is gonna require internal reverb and delay processing to mimic those effects and not sound sterile like headphones. This may overall lower the noise in the room a little, but at the cost of expensive tech to mimic.. the thing it’s trying to solve?

These are beautiful

God they’re hideous

This is equivalent of a wine winning an award

Ah the fun of old homes, years and years of DIY hack jobs with wildly varying quality lol. In a similar boat with my home, slowly trying to improve things as they come. I just replaced all the outlets in one room and found just 1 was on a totally different breaker - luckily I was checking them individually instead of assuming the breaker took care of everything.

That link sucks lol. But the amps/volts overlap in some places, which is why I think it's dumb.

Still, only kind of. My oven and dryer are different plugs with the same amperage rating. They're actually wired into the same breaker..... I don't really like that but I don't have the space for a new breaker to fix it, and that's how it was when I moved in. So I can't run my dryer and stove full blast at the same time lol.

The different plugs do have different uses, but they're not strict and they can be interchangeable. I found out mine were wired together because my old dryer outlet was different than the new one, but the wiring met the amp requirements so I just took the old socket off and put the right one on. 30A/240v but different plugs for the stove and dryer. It's kind of nonsense.

You forgot the most important thing man.

Oh man, I can't wait until they start beaming non-skiplable ads directly at you to make them truly unavoidable! Want to gwt a snack during the ad break? Now the ads can follow you into the kitchen. Imagine seeing "Muting this video will be available after the ad". So many great advertisement opportunities to make ads more targeted and enhance user experience.

If you don't know how to charge your phone at night that's on you.

To be fair…

I thought you were talking about this product when you were complaining about internet connected devices and subscriptions. Were you just complaining about products unrelated to this post? Or are you saying you're disappointed that companies often put internet/subscriptions into products like these when the products would be good without internet/subscriptions, so you hope this product doesn't require internet/subscriptions?

While it sounds technologically neat, it suffers from a cardinal sin amongst many smart/fancy speaker makers.

It doesn't have some plain input jack. No phono, no 3.5mm input (it has 3.5mm output/headphone port from the specs I've read). While basic USB Audio mode support is nice, it is not a replacement from dumb analog-in. 10 years from now when the product is EOL, and not supported, it has high potential to be landfill waste because there is no basic input connection to connect it to other equipment. And the drivers will be ancient and out of date for on Windows, so it would drop back to basic audio drivers and no enhancements if you connected it there. Kind of a fail on all accounts.

I complained about this on the Leviathan V2 and V2 X. Now with the V2 Pro at least it has a headphone out to function as a DAC when you aren't using it as a speaker. Still no analog in. Which effectively means I would never buy it.

$400 really. Also does bluetooth, has headphone out, Comes with a subwoofer as well.

Well not everything that flies. (Lets not get into the 'Birds aren't Real' conspiracy). Your average pigeon isn't a drone, nor is a parrot. However, those are biological things. So they have something piloting them (ah the joys of meatsuits). While some flying insects are classified as drones (see worker bees as example), we still think of them as insects/bugs. However, a non-biological that does fly and does not have a pilot residing in it? Effectively a drone.
Yes we have ancient RC helicopters and model airplanes. They are essentially referred to as drones now. Even more so if they transmit back telemetry or visual data and take remote commands. In this way, it is being corrupted by marketing, but it is very much what the language has vernacularly evolved to.

If you want to get technical, then by all means, whip out the documentation and point to the definition.
