Can’t hear that phone ring?

Can’t hear that phone ring? Smart home to the rescue! On a recent Internet of Things Podcast, we took a voicemail from Brian on our podcast hotline. His mother is an assisted living facility and doesn’t always hear her phone ring so he’s looking for a solution to that problem. Brian asked if there’s some type of device he could connect to his mother’s television that would display text on the screen when her phone rings or when he texts her. We don’t know of one but we do have some alternative suggestions that could work just as well. It helps that Brian’s mother is already familiar with Amazon Alexa. When living at home, she used Alexa to voice control [...]

Loud

J’ai été dans le monde farfelu de Loud, le premier réseau social basé sur les messages vocaux L’application rappelle un peu ClubHouse, mais si vous évitez les influenceurs en herbe, vous pouvez trouver quelque chose d’intéressant. Un avertissement : la communauté est encore très immature, il faudra un certain temps avant qu’un quelconque contenu ne soit développé. J’admet. Lorsque l’e-mail de lancement de Loud est arrivé à la rédaction ces derniers jours, il s’est retrouvé directement à la poubelle. Nouvelle appli, made in Italy, qui se présentait comme une appli de « podcasting collaboratif ». Marché d’offres assez abondant, il existe maintenant aussi des podcasts sur la façon de faire des podcasts. Puis j’ai vu un panneau d’affichage sur le [...]

Le vinyle devant le CD audio pour la première fois depuis 1987 !

Chiffre d’affaires record pour l’industrie musicale en 2022 aux USA, avec un succès toujours aussi impertinent du vinyle, même si le streaming continue son outrageuse domination.

Un résultat principalement dû aux services de streaming, mais aussi à la bonne tenue du bon vieux disque vinyle. Ventes de disques, le vinyle devant le CD audio, ou le CD audio derrière le vinyle ? Belle performance des formats physiques donc avec une croissance à +4% de leur chiffre d’affaires par rapport à 2021. Et pour la première fois depuis 1987 les albums vinyle (41 millions) se [...]

The future of TV is up in the air

Broadcasters are betting that antennas and modern DVRs will help them stay relevant. But a stalled transition to ATSC 3.0 and massive growth of linear streaming services could throw a wrench into those plans. Antenna television is back. In recent years, millions of cord-cutters have rediscovered antennas as a reliable way to watch broadcast networks like ABC, NBC, and FOX, all for free — and now, broadcasters are eager to get the rest of us hooked. They’ve been marching ahead with the deployment of ATSC 3.0, a next-generation broadcast format that supports 4K, HDR, Dolby Atmos audio, and even interactive apps over the air, no cable or streaming subscription required. A little over a year ago, one of the country’s [...]
