What’s new with Matter and Thread, what Google and Apple are doing to help the smart home, and the best wireless earbud microphones, on The Vergecast.
When we talk about the smart home, we often talk about grand visions of perfectly automated everything. You know the ones: you wake up well rested thanks to some bedside light thing, and as you stretch luxuriously toward the ceiling, a sensor notices and turns on the coffee pot, starts steaming the sauna, and plays a curated playlist of all your favorite songs. It sounds nice! It is... mostly not how the smart home actually works.

It's why, for example, we can see the shadow of molecular clouds against the scattered stars of the Milky Way.
