Insteon dies, Matter update, Playdate review on the HomeKit Insider podcast
After a quick look all I found was Insteon debuted in 2005 - I definitely had z-wave stuff before 2005. Anyway it’s moot since they threw in the towel.jimh2 said:
I think Insteon predated Z-Wave. They were there as X-10 was running out of steam.docno42 said:Yikes. Insteon never did make sense - zwave kit was cheaper and has a far wider variety of stuff. Insteon reminded me of IBMs reaction to the clone market with the PS/2 and microchannel. To their credit Insteon held out longer than the PS/2 or microchannel

Teardown of Apple's new & long Thunderbolt 4 Pro Cable highlights why it's so expensive
lol - just look at all the people whining about price in this thread. That’s why cheaper alternatives exist.humbug1873 said:The most scary sentence in that whole article " for creatives working with large amounts of data, ChargerLAB states it may be the best option currently available."
Why is that an acceptable outcome?
When I buy a cable that is supposed to allow for Thunderbolt 4, it should follow the specifications and deliver the expected throughput. If not it's mis-labelled and essentially fraud. We need to stop accepting faulty cables and sue the fraudsters.
Transferring data at high speed is complicated and requires precision engineering, which adds to costs.

If only Apple cared this much about obvious clone or scam apps.
Apple failed in it’s promise to justify gatekeeping iOS. It’s past time for them to offer side loading and alternate app stores. Maybe with some real competition they will do something really meaningful to make the iOS app store useful? -

Yikes. Insteon never did make sense - zwave kit was cheaper and has a far wider variety of stuff. Insteon reminded me of IBMs reaction to the clone market with the PS/2 and microchannel. To their credit Insteon held out longer than the PS/2 or microchannel
