    It really sucks they’re not going to do one last update with the AirPort Express line to add AirPlay 2 support like the 11.4 betas seemed to indicate they would. With them being so cheap these days (you can get the 802.11n wall plug version for under $20 on eBay) they would make a great workaround to incompatible, older speakers by just connecting them to the aux port.
    Yeah, was crossing my fingers as that’s my multiroom setup right now. It could still happen, but I’m  counting on it. 
    I use them all over the house as cheap WiFi to Ethernet bridges so I can connect Ethernet only (and USB only in the case of my old printer) devices to WiFi. I’m surprised more people don’t pick them up used for this purpose 
    I’m not surprised at all. When was the last time somebody released a networked device that didn’t support wifi?
    In my house I have the following that are either Ethernet only or USB only:

    1. Kēvo Plus hub
    2. Samsung SmartThings hub
    3. Philips Hue hub
    4. T-Mobile LTE microcell
    5. circa 2006 Brother laser printer

    Huh. For some reason I assumed these existed soon after using iPads and terminals happened. I guess I never really thought about it. I'm glad someone did.
    Some other payment systems have supported their own receipt printing methods. Square, for instance, has supported receipt printing with their iPad POS register system for years. In fact, the printer included with the Sqaure kit is made by this same company.
