Steven Gets Shouty & Shaun Feels The Cold

Today on Double Tap, hosts Steven Scott and Shaun Preece chat about the challenges of smart home devices, and the issues Steven has had trying to connect smart devices on the move.

Today’s show is really all about you, as we dive into the inbox to hear listener emails discussing AI functionality in Meta Ray Bands, thoughts on the new Blindshell Classic 3, and the importance of community support in learning about new technology.
