Today I mounted a homepod in my bathroom.
I got 2 more big ones from best buy while they still exist
suchhh good sound
shame they're being discontinued
fallen nexus
Agreed. I have 5 of the big ones scattered around the house (most of them attached to my Apple TV's) and I am super sad to see them discontinued.
That said, the small ones are WAY louder than you'd think.
haughty pelican
I've been meaning to get a small one for the kitchen, is the quality comparable? Mainly the bass lol
fallen nexus
It's more punchy, but definitely still comparable at max-volume.
Just take in mind that since they're smaller, wherever you would have normally put one large homepod, you'll now need two of the smaller ones to get the same experience.
haughty pelican
if no HomePod 2 rumors pop up by july I may do it

I joked I wasn't going to send back my M1 DTK unless they reversed the decision to discontinue the big homepods lol

uh... I don't know where you live but that sort of display is not uncommon. Many, many people take their patriotism/masculinity to the extreme. While amusing for most of us, and probably entertaining to those who watched... if I was forced to bet on his level of seriousness on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give it a 7 or 8.

In some defense of Blizzard in this particular instance, there are people within the company who actively work to spread awareness of LGBTQ+ causes and help to push for things like this or the pins from I believe last year.

I know for a fact that many Blizzard employees have appealed to Blizzard to make this sort of merch, and donations...

Okay so, arguably, they handled the free hongkong thing badly... but does that cancel out the good derived from LGBTQ+ efforts?
hardy forge
Bad people can do good things,it doesnt cancel or clear anything
keen sequoia
I dont think the argument is that it cancels it out but it makes it questionable as to if they are doing this for the communities good or just to look pretty
frosty tundra
I dunno, seems to me the easiest thing would be to do nothing at all. The amount of complaining/pushback is hard to deal with sometimes.

i guess end of the day it doesent matter since the community benefits from it but its kinda annoying to see them treat one minority with respect and another with total disregard

i would agree, It becomes obvious where the company stands when they support the issue or like issues consistently and not just when it happens to be a pride month or trending

Well, I'd love to do more outside of Pride month for these sort of things... but it's just so irrelevant to our company/website it's hard to justify a campaign or fundraiser at another time in the year.

and your response should be "Because we care about the issue"
The people saying Why are those who only care about the community during pride month and then forget about them for the other 11 months

That's unfair... you're talking about countries/cultures that don't accept that sort of thing. It'd be STUPID for a company in those places to push that sort of thing. At the end of the day, they're a business that can't alienate entire countries they work in.

Also the employees that work in those countries are the ones that suffer.

I’ll believe Blizzard when they don’t hide or retcon gay characters in Russian or Chinese content.
Then I’ll believe in the rainbow shirts.
frosty tundra
That's still the same sort of thing, especially with China.
China has A LOT of control over your product in their country.
So it's either, leave in the gay characters, and lose that entire country, or remove them.

They remain in China because of greed, so yes.

thats what seperates the true supporters from the profiteers

China has a lot of shares in a ton of companies,and even fully owns other companies like riot

Coca Cola can make commercials with black people and gay characters in the west and make their commercials a big social justice message. But as soon as they make them for Russia or China, or the Middle East? Gays may as well not exist.

Knee jerkers like to say anyone who says the word “pandering” is anti LGBT, when a lot of LGBT people hate being pandered to. Nobody gives a shit about the few corporations who actually stand by their supposed morals. They’re a minority.

The same company that owns Riot, owns Wowhead. 😛
glad reef
I think it's a bit disingenuous to think that a company should try to be some sort of bastion of change in a sovereign nation. They literally can't do anything. Let's say for example, Blizzard cut all ties with China. Would that change anything in how the government acts? No. The government would continue to act however it's going to act. The people that work in Chinese based offices would be out of a job or worse. You could argue the reason Blizz and other companies continue to operate in China or do business with them is greed, but not only would it be incredibly difficult to remove themselves from basically a huge portion of the world/market it ultimately would mean little. The government isn't going to care about video game companies taking their business elsewhere. Plenty of other big time corporations and resources for money gathering.

Life extension tech would be such a bad thing imo... this world can't handle us all living much longer than we already do, and definitely not forever.
