Scripting News: Friday, July 25, 2025
- I got tired of my old sound system, too many wires, a big receiver whose functions I never used, all designed long before the 4-year-old 65-inch OLED screen on top of it all, so I downscaled to a Sony soundbar, figured that was as simple as you could get, for $300, thinking of it as an experiment. #
- I liked it but then I thought to ask ChatGPT a question I've had for a while. I want a small amp designed for today's music and video, and went through a bunch of options and came up with the WiiM Home amp. No speakers, unlike the soundbar, but hooks up to the TV via the ARC connector, and I have plenty of old speakers to try out in this configuration. #
- I got it yesterday and the setup experience was pretty great and the feature list is totally 2025. Will have more to say for sure. #
- PS: It's from a Silicon Valley tech company btw. Nice to see a company just designing nice products and not trying to take over the world. #
