  • @broox @harper it's not perfect but it's a good system integrator. Looks skimpy on the surface but digging deeper it does the job.

  • @broox @harper what are your thoughts about tactile buttons, old fashioned remotes and such?

    JoeBorn posted

  • @JoeBorn @harper physical buttons are great as long as they're supplementary IMO. I started buying remotes for home automation switches.

  • @broox @JoeBorn i actually think the software for sonos works. well. and that is because hiromi can always play music when she wants. WAF

  • @harper @broox geeks tend to be tolerant of inefficient setup, and critical of inefficient user interfaces, mainstream just the opposite

    JoeBorn posted

  • @harper @broox rare, in my experience, for a mainstream person to complain about a few extra clicks as long as they don't have to think hard
