@7amahanti In terms of financial bottom line and impact on tech industry, I tend to agree so far. Voice minimal practical use cases, and real smart home and automation still the domain of techs and tinkerers.. new standards like #Matter meant to make home automation more accessible soon
@7amahanti talking about #SmartHome Voice, to paraphrase, they "play Music and set timers". These are 2 common/useful functions, some (not all) Voice Assistants do other things well too! Unfortunately his fav $AAPL smart home in Oz is still nascent..
@7amahanti True, the voice functions are mostly gimmicky and any speaker/microphone combo can so them. Thread Border Router (Apple HomePod Mini) or ZigBee/Bluetooth control and integration of smart home devices is a much bigger deal, and $AMZN far ahead there atm..
Remote workers reject Big Brother. I'm a passionate #WorkFromAnywhere advocate who has been productive in #wfX for a nearly a decade. Knowledge workers don't require monitoring, they need enablement and empowerment to deliver meaningful outcomes #ACS https://t.co/3MAwCR5JHg
And more importantly, @alexa99 automation has improved a lot in this time. Routines are quick to create, and include many of the features found on #HASS like timing to sun, offset timing, and built-in wait timers for lights on/off. Still on team #Alexa for #smarthome ecosystem
And so in the interim, I would prefer a cloud-dependent service like #Alexa that has been generally stable, to a local, tinkerers solution that cannot be stabilised to ensure that security automations are reliable. I'm cloud dependent for #Ring cameras anyway, so not losing much
If Peter Lynch was looking at the ASX - particularly SaaS stocks - I was wondering what he would think. With nosebleed valuations, I wanted to pull it apart to see what the price of growth really is.
Here's my Saasy Lynch Indicator for the ASX. ๐

My suburb in WA has been announced as one of the lucky ones planned for @NBN_Australia#FTTP upgrades, but it can be difficult to get more information on when this may happen. Do we wait for our #RSP to let us know? https://t.co/AC1CNQZMU3
Hydrogen is such a hot topic, with ETFS discussing their new hydrogen thematic ETF $HGEN $HGEN.AX on all the talk shows. So I wanted to look under the hood to see what people are really buying.
This is also my first article for @RaskAustralia ๐
