I understand the market forces pushing companies to move UI and computation from the widget they make to some smartphone app. But if they aren't providing some kind of well documented, open API to their device doing so is a major impediment to my purchasing it.

I don't want an expensive device to suddenly become a paperweight in a year or two because the company has stopped supporting the app and it no longer runs on the latest phone OS.

Software based innovation is a sloppy, lazyway towards innovation. Learn form Apple's example, they used hardware and their 'made for ipad' and dongle accessories extension to drive real innovation & technological advancement. Software upgrades and addons and customizations are sad excuse to innovate.

Don't fall into the delusion that interfaces and UX through software is progress.

Closed-source technology is evil, especially in children’s toys

Yet another proprietary technology that does not work without it’s parent company, is becoming e-waste because the company will no longer support it (due to going out of business). It is even worse when this thing happens to machines implanted into your body, fortunately this time it is “only” a very expensive, animate, talking children’s toy that is now dead and their kids can no longer play with it, unless they are OK with it no longer talking or moving it’s face.

We need better legislation regulating the #RightToRepair . There also needs to be more of an effort to educate people about why you must not trust closed source consumer electronics, and that if you do want to buy something like this, try to #BuyItForLife . Although in our mostly unregulated market economy that is likely never to happen since right-to-repair, and consumers well-educated about proprietary technology, tend to slightly reduce profits for these companies.

Consumers need to know that they should not just buy any nice, shiny, high-tech thing they see, especially for their kids, unless they first check what will happen to the device if the company that made it decides to drop support. If the device requires an Internet connection, the odds are it will stop working at an inopportune time. If it is open source, it is more likely you can find someone to fix it even after the company no longer supports it. Understand this before you make your purchase.

Why don't smart speakers have USB type C?

For example, Amazon echo and Google nest mini have proprietary barrel charger plugs.

What is the point of a proprietary barrel charger plug on a device like a small smart speaker which may be occasionally moved around? It makes much more sense to have USBC, the common connector,for power on those devices, and yet, stupidly, they have a proprietary charging port. It makes zero sense to me. Does someone care to explain this to me?

Why does Amazon echo not have USBC?

Why are there proprietary barrel charger supporters

The whole point of USBC was to be the one connector for everything

Always liked the very analogue approach to these landmarks of #cinema #sounddesign

Reminds me also of how one of the user-feedback sound alerts in #consumerelectronics was a processed recording of a marble dropping into a china bowl, and another, on the iPhone, was based on a vise grip clicking open.
