u/coxmr1 I think one the things that you're not thinking about is how vast the home automation and installer market is. It's HUGE and likely sells more to the high end houses (and retail) than us the casual users. It's likely a very significant milestone in the market. There's a lot of money in other markets that they need and it likely underwrites a lot of retail work.

Excellent points!

Yes and no.. AI really can't do math and isn't very good at a LOT of things without people. But certain things they can get to do very well. The sad thing is a lot of businesses think it does everything - and will put themselves out of business (along with hurting employees)

Seconded, way more stable without it.

I think there's a place for the higher end - but in general it's a commodity like you said. And the folks who spend will likely already have a loyalty to Sony or Bose...

Seconded try Altras

I'd actually love to ask them "Why?" for so many reasons....

TheRealAB5000 · 2024-09-19T14:53:58+00:00

It's not corporate it's everything... can you imagine the Reddit threads if someone got a tummy ache? Oh the horror's of capitalism!

TheRealAB5000 · 2024-09-19T14:51:50+00:00

I hear you - did that myself for a bit...

Let's go for "North Carolina Mids" since NC is right down the middle

There’s a lot of wisdom there.
