Putting software in long lived components — screens, speakers, whatever — is shortsighted as the industrial short term and barely engineered mindset.

Maybe in an era where software can be carefully engineered to a point of actual completion it will make sense, but for now it’s mostly stupid.

Open sourcing potential ongoing support and tinkering is good, but it doesn’t get the core problem that it wad probably never the right thing to put the smarts in the speakers in the first place.
