Oh man this is rad. This is what done houses in the 70’s and 80’s had. A central sound system throughout the house.

I think you’re looking for a receiver obviously to handle the inputs but then you also need a multi-room amplifier. I’m pretty sure it also has another name, but something like this: Juke Audio

I’ll follow this thread because I’m always interested in everyone’s suggestions.

Probably not what you’re looking for but you can roll your own “smart” speakers that work directly with home assistant and play audio that way. Doesn’t help with audio input from like a TV, but it’s what I’ve got to offer at the moment because it’s what I’m working on at the moment.

Edit:the other name they go by is “matrix amplifier”. Good luck bud.

Do you know what nemesis means?

Having lived in Germany for over 5 years I would say I for sure don’t miss right on red. It always confused me that it was a thing most places but then some intersections had a sign you better have seen to know it’s not okay to do it at that particular intersection.

Right on red seemed to be introduced to help save gas during a crisis. Again, living in Europe most modern cars have idle shut offs. So when you come to a complete stop at say an intersection while idling at a red light your engine automatically shuts off until you take your foot off the break, thus saving fuel.

Safer for everyone involved, less confusing, more consistent and it still meets the requirement of the original intention of right on red.

"Sure, Zaslav deserves to be staked out over and anthill and slathered in high-fructose corn syrup. But save the next anthill for the Sony exec who shipped a product that would let Zaslav come into your home and rob you. That piece of shit knew what they were doing and they did it anyway. Fuck them. Sideways. With a brick. "

While I think the overall message is great, I personally think the author did themselves a disservice by dissolving into seemingly rambling threats at the end.

It’s like having a valid argument, but devolving to name calling when you should have just walked away.
