There are still limitations because of basic physics. You’re going to need to be able to move a lot of air to get any decent amount of bass.

Who listens to the radio anymore? Everyone I know uses it to stream music from their phone.

It’s like the poly butylene pipes from the 70s. People claim Pex is better and without those problems but who knows what we’ll find out in another 15 years.
Edit because people think I’m saying it’s as bad as poly b - I’m not. I’m just wondering if there will be additional longevity problems with pex that will keep it from being in century homes.

I am optimistic that the technology has advanced leaps and bounds. Esp if a giant like LG is involved.
Phone cameras were garbage 20 years ago when they came out and now a days a person can take a close up photo of the moon at 100x zoom.

Current bio based materials used in homes…wood.
Edit: Before I get attacked it’s probably a sawdust wood fiber composite similar to the Elmer’s wood filler I use in my PLA models post sanding. Durability suspect.

Usually that's the results of room acoustics. Software can't fix everything.

That way they can sit empty like all the other houses. Why arent these damn millennials buying houses? Secondary joke is: brought to you by the same people who made paper straws.

How much electricity do you use? I have 6.1 kW of panels and easily make double my electricity consumption per day (~35kWh). The issue is that I do not make power when I need it most, after sunset when cooking/heating/cooling the house.

Is this created by using phase shifting?

I’m not going to dig into it for Sony but will add that phase usually does this. If you have one speaker in phase and one out of phase on the opposite side the sound “comes from everywhere” which is undesirable when it comes to setting a front sound stage.
I’d imagine if you those Sony units use multiple drivers that could switch phase live by driver it could use it in cool ways.
Totally bullshitting here though

Oh, cool. I'm not familiar - will go and investigate.

The worst is when a game has really high quality chatter as ambient noise. So many times I’ve taken off my headphones and looked around because I swore I could hear someone right behind me.

Any idea how this house would hold up to extreme cold? Where I live it’s not uncommon to hit -40C for several weeks at a time. Don’t see wooden insulation being very efficient at that temp

Well, the article was just shallow clickbait, and no substance. There was no video of an actual representation.

The problem is that additive manufacturing technology does not deliver the same economies of scale that traditional manufacturing does. The cost to deliver a 3d-printed part will largely stay the same, regardless of whether one or 100 are to be produced. This is in contrast to traditional methods, where it is far more cost effective to produce parts in large quantities.
