(Un)wired for Sound: Using Sonos speakers as a whole-home, Apple-connected audio system
I bought a couple of Play:1 speakers which I configured for stereo and the quality is great, but the software is so flaky with inability to re-establish a connection without having to reboot speakers or Macbook or iPhone. It's also very limiting only being able to play stuff through the Sonos app.
After six weeks I took the system back and got a refund. Will go the generic Bluetooth route. -
Review: Sonos One brings high fidelity to smartspeakers
The lack of bluetooth forces you to use the Sonos app for everything but I had numerous wifi networking problems with the Sonos Play 1s speakers via an Apple Time Capsule hub. Can't use the speakers for ad hoc use, for example visitors who want to play their music as well.
Returned the units for a refund. -
UK government plans 'Digital Services Tax' applied against Apple and other tech giants
Although I have a substantial investment in Apple shares I applaud this movement. 2% has to be just a starting position and it needs to be widened to include all the global entities pushing their European revenues through Ireland, Luxembourg and Netherlands. Ireland and the others are effectively stealing from the countries where the revenue is generated.
The list of companies includes Apple, Facebook, Twitter, IBM, HP, Dell, and the list goes on and on.
