Spence will receive a cash severance of $1,875,000, per SEC filings. He will also get $7,500 per month and serve as a Sonos board advisor until June, and his unvested shares will vest.

If I was this bad at my job, I'd be shitcanned with no compensation. It's pretty cool how we reward failure at the highest levels.

I'm using my kitchen S5 exclusively in aux mode with a spare phone which runs the Malopieds fork of Innertune. It's the perfect music kiosk / jukebox and I never have to touch their apps (unless I change up my network).

Most of what I use the speakers for (other than surround on the TV) is automatically starting lullabies from Navidrome for my kids at bedtime.

The new app broke the hell out of that whole chain.
