Crowdstrike CEO: Did it crash the phone?

Whoever the fuck thought a massive regression for every single customer was the perfect thing to deploy with no option for rollback needs to stop working in software.

This isn’t a software problem. It’s a capitalism problem.

It should be straight up illegal to remove pre-existing functionality from a device, regardless of whether that is present in software or hardware. If you release it on a stable channel, if you advertise it as a feature of a device, you support it for the life of the device. You can test beta features via an entirely separate beta app, but once the feature becomes stable you don’t have a choice anymore. Once you stop supporting the hardware or software, you are required to open source everything required for consumers — as well as any competitor — to pickup where you left off and continue development.

But there’s no future profit for Sonos in them providing the ability for us to play music we already own from our own library.

WhatAmLemmy ,

Sorry. I forgot human civilization is structured around what is profitable for the individual for a fraction of a lifetime, instead of what optimizes the quality of life, usage of resources, and long term survivability of our species for millennia. My bad.

GreatBlueHeron ,

There was an unofficial option for rollback - I’m on Android so I went to apkmirror and downloaded the last good version and turned off auto update. This worked for a while, but then they forced me to update - it literally said I had to update to continue using. I’ve seen someone say this wasn’t actually a forced update, but rather keeping all the parts of your network in sync. I have one Sonos device and my phone is the only things that connects to it??

AbidanYre ,

Did you also disable FW updates on the hardware? I’m still running the old version because they nuked Subsonic support. There’s a banner at the top remind me there’s an update, but it’s not forcing anything.

10$ food coupons when?

Such a courageous move.

Why can’t they just fix the simple bug of having to open the app ,close it down, then reopen it just to connect to your setup? A simple ‘wait’ line of code would do wonders.

Too little, too late. For first month the app was unusable. It took forever to play the music and when it finally got played the missing features made the experience at best mediocre

I’m not going to stick with Sonos. I have already started lookingfosr a replacement. Audio Pro looks pretty good.

Same. For me the final straw was when it started desynchronising from actual progress when playing podcasts, which means every time I pause and resume I’m somewhere else I the episode.

I thought I lost my Sonos integration with my music source. In fact it was just an update to the app and I don’t know how to navigate that… or maybe the new app just removed the integration

I just want queue management back again 😭

I was starting to think there was something wrong with my setup. Glad it wasn’t just me! Hopefully they’ll fix it. Better they be upfront and admit the mistake.

Audio is one of the easiest if not THE easiest to do wirelessly. Why ANYONE would use this proprietary bullshit is beyond me. I’m looking at my girlfriends Sonos that we never use anymore once I put a shitty sound-bar on the theater TV which sounds better, and we can chromecast anything we want to it or just flip to the HTPC and use it like a computer.

Eat billionaires. Fuck corporations. Open. Source. Everything!

They literally wasted all the effort trying to do patent trolling for years, and now their own lineup sucks sick. Who would have expected that

That’s the worst part, back when they were new, at least Sonos had a cool USP. Nowadays others do remote access and smart speakers too, and Sonos is still overpriced, still mediocre hardware, and now doesn’t even have a nicely integrated all-in-one-app any more.

dinckelman ,

Kind of just the reality of corporate America. Live long enough until you become a villain

acceptable_pumpkin ,

It’s easier for me to control my Sonos devices through Home Assistant and dashboards I’ve created, rather than using the Sonos app itself. It’s like they hired some McKinsey consultants to make the app as useless as it can be.
