Sonos, didnt they tell all their customers to get fucked and buy new speakers because the old ones wouldn't work again because of shitty software...even though the speakers were 100% fine and usable otherwise?

As someone who hasn't followed them too much but was interested in buying stuff someday, thank you! I hate shady companies that seem to be doing this more and more lately... I guess from the looks of it, they may not be around much longer anyway.

Af one point they ran an upgrade deal. Where you could “trade in” your old gear for a discount. But instead of you sending your old gear back they just remotely bricked it.
