@RojoLoco speakers in a couch! Not seen that before. My Mum has lights and usb chargers in hers. I thought that was top notch, but speakers go one step further.
Well, once the couch got delivered I realized that the speakers were actually add-ons. They were the exact same color leather. But the grandparents decided to hang on to those - even if they don't perfectly match their new couch.

Take it one more step - audio plug in! there are times I would love to have headset on while watching tv...
Most TV systems that I've had for the last ten years have the headphone jack either on the remote control or they have bluetooth built in for that. Can't remember a TV that I've had that didn't let me sit on the couch with remote headphones.
Roku, Fire and similar have long had jacks on the remotes. Apple and similar have long used BT.

Most video game systems copied those and added headset jacks to game controllers, too, for the same reason.

Yeah I have that in ChromeCast with Google TV and I think I played with it once with Roku or Fire - but never tried with the TV.
To me the TV is just a monitor, nothing more. - ok that's not strictly true anymore, I have a TV in a spare bedroom and I do use the built in speakers, but I don't use it's tuning ability at all - ChromeCast with Google TV is my current preferred solution. -

Yeah. What I always disliked about that -- at with mine, if I plugged in a headset, the Roku would mute the TV and only play audio through the headset.

Having the house wired up tomorrow, finally. We have two Internet providers (Claro & Teko), one on cable and one on fiber. My office is already wired to the fiber, but we are going to re-route everything so that we have both providers going everywhere. Gotta install a switch in my office and a switch in the middle of the house and put four or five access points up to get coverage.

No wired speakers here these days. Eventually I'll ship them in from the US. But just working from Apple HomePods down here for now.

I can't believe how many YouTube ads are for...
- Things that I can't identify. Nothing in the ad tells me what to buy or do. It's just like some video of nothingness.
- Only states what they are selling in audio. I typically have audio off on YouTube so like... it's just some images of people standing in a field to me.
- Is for a product that I get the name of but have zero idea what it would be for or who could use it. I just saw one where they made the name obvious, but nothing in the ad gave a hint as to... what the product does at all. And the name means nothing to me.
Like, I'd say more than half the ads I see can't sell me anything because it's just gibberish to me.
-
I should add that of those ads that I can decipher, a huge percentage are for companies that provide the same services that I do. Things that I do myself, for free, because I'm an IT pro. So the amount of mis-targetting is crazy.
And I don't drive. And I get a lot of car ads. Those are the "most applicable" that I get most of the time.
The only truly good ads that I get are for subscription services... that I already have, lol.

What is this odd phrase? Do those words go together like that? Or is this a translation of some idiom badly translated into english?
