And I’m sure I’ll get a pretty decent price when I start selling off my Sonos stuff on Tuesday.

        @fastfinge they tried to brick everything a few years ago and stop supporting older models but they got so much pushback that they walked back thier statement.
        And it’s very, very difficult to use or sell anything on the second market. I had a used sonos and they refused to help me make it work without some mysterious orginal factory pin number.
