    It’s not a matter of taking sides, but of breaking laws.

    They’re just saying that no Brazilian laws were broken.

    Nice move. I hope they have learned something about PR from this. 

    Honestly, offering a discount to replace truly obsolete product is kind of a brilliant idea that incentivizes Sonos to keep their product in the field compatible with the latest software while rewarding loyal customers who still love their Sonos gear after many years of use. 

    It’s too bad the upgrade program was rolled out so awkwardly. They have squandered what could have been a lot of goodwill. 
    Bricking perfectly good hardware is a good thing?  Perhaps car manufacturers should do that. /s

    Sonos is a trash company.

    The greatest resource is still the human resource.  How about better pay for teachers (with smaller class sizes) and training to recognize these things?

    Technology is great, but it isn't the answer to every problem.
    How about doing both?  Technology is an excellent answer to a lot of problems, especially when technology has been an enabler of those problems.  On the other hand, whataboutism is an excellent route to circular arguments and ultimately doing nothing.
    Because 1 of those 2 things are impossible in a free country?  Not to mention the only technological solution is backdoors into everything, and they’re impossible to secure...  

    How long do you think it would take before a politician used the backdoors to snoop on rivals?

    Supposedly there are “leakers” in the White House.  Want to bet the President would use the opportunity to snoop on all the journalists at the Washington Post (etc)?

     Are a “loyal” enough citizen?  Asking questions in that future might be problematic...
