@hydrian I agree with the EOL law demand.
I see Bose and Sonos primarily as hardware manufacturers. I think in the history of tech, there are quite a few cases in which the more open, less restrictive hardware has had more success in the market (including licensing/patents).
I get that they would like to milk their customer base a bit more - but for me, possible vendor lock-in makes products less attractive.

I tip my hat to #Bose for giving owners of soon-to-be End of Life/support speakers the garantuee that the devices will continue to function and giving them the information needed to collectively build new tools to do even more with them. -

This is incredible.@mcnees The creator also posted to reddit r/music about the site. He writes it took him only 48h to get it up and running thanks to AI. And there's this really prominently placed link begging for money.
