Logitech has been in the home entertainment space for a long, long time (with their Harmony remotes, which did need software to make them work). In 2015 I'd certainly have placed more trust in a Logitech device in that space than an Nvidia one.
- DJHenk 6y agoAs a Squeezebox owner, I disagree. Their tech was good, but then the company that made them, Slim Devices, was acquired by Logitech. Everything got rebranded and then... they lost interest. Which is a shame, but the Squeezbox world was perfect in that hardware and software worked perfectly together and it could integrate with services like Spotify, but you could actually also use it with your own music. Try that now, to have a central multi-room system for audio that is not dependent on external services. To answer the original question: I don't trust any tech company that tries to blur the lines between physical products and digital services. That is, I don't trust any of them anymore.
- mavhc 6y agoAre these the Harmony Remotes that required Silverlight?
- Tijdreiziger 6y agoIIRC, in the beginning they required a desktop application to be installed, and later Logitech released a new Silverlight-based version of said application on the web. Of course, the application needed to communicate with the remote via USB, which I don't think was natively possible in the web browser at that time.
