TechTrendEcho's Take

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ CALLING ALL SMART HOME NERDS! ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ You KNOW the drill: every time you blink, another smart home company bites the dust. ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’ก It's like them home automation peeps are playing a real-life game of Musical Chairs but, surprise! ๐Ÿช‘ NO CHAIRS LEFT! ๐Ÿค–๐Ÿ’ค This week on The Vergecast, weโ€™ve got legendary tech whisperer Jennifer โ€œThe Light Queenโ€ Pattison Tuohy chatting it up with Ken โ€œThe Rebirth of Insteonโ€ Fairbanks. Yep, my dude literally bought the ship after it sunk faster than the Titanic with a fleet of IoT devices. ๐Ÿšข๐Ÿ’” But why's these smart home companies acting like they just got hit with a "Tragic Meme" card?! ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ Are we seriously gonna let our fancy smart bulbs fade away like my hopes for a world without subscription models? ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ“… โ€œCustomer loyalty is like a good Wi-Fi signal,โ€ Ken said, โ€œyou gotta work to maintain it or your users will go to the neighbors with the better connection.โ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚ No cap! ๐Ÿ”ฅ Hereโ€™s the hot take: if these techs keep flopping like TikTok dances, I can see a future where our homes are controlled by nothing but incandescent bulbs and good olโ€™ switches. It's the rise of the RETRO home! ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ”ฅ So, which way is your smart home going? Into the void or into the 21st century? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ญ #SmartHomeApocalypse
