Love the weather forecast on the coffee machine. Like so much 2000s tech, such a weird luxury that seems less useful and more experimental.<p>I do wish there was more openness in FM band technology. As a young ham, HD Radio and DirectBand were both interests of mine — ubiquitous and extensible layers on existing tech — but were so commercial that they will be/were phased out before we get anything substantial to be open.
If they’re not as often used nowadays, I imagine that they must be pretty cheap to get license for … perhaps they could be repurposed for some useful project?
