      Can we stop the overuse and over-generalization of “enshitification” which Doctorow had given very explicit meaning to in regards to social networks? It does not simply mean commoditization which is not quite the same but almost synonymous with 'race to the bottom’s in regards of trying to increase revenue while simultaneously decreasing costs.

      Edit: I’ll admit narrowing to “social networks” is a bit too narrow, but the point still stands that it’s for two way platforms where there are “two markets.” Phillips Hue does not have a two sided market.

      There is no need to reflash them. Thy’re zigbee, you can just connect them to a different hub or to a zigbee dongle.

    I don’t even know why people still use Hue anymore. It’s overpriced and zigbee and matter exist.

      Hue uses Zigbee though, doesn’t it? In my experience they’re the most reliable Zigbee lights with the most consistent light output, and work very well as routers.

      I agree that Hue bulbs are expensive compared to others but they generally are considered some of the best bulbs for color accuracy and build quality. I’ve considered getting Hue bulbs before but definitely wont be now.
