Re:How to Firefox on Wednesday July 23, 2025 @03:45AM (#44656715)

Re:Google is killing software support for early Nest Thermostats on Saturday April 26, 2025 @03:12AM (#43801550)

I have a Sonos Play:1 speaker from 2013 still working perfectly with no plans from Sonos to change that. My Nest thermostat from same year will lose app and home/away features which I would say is over 50% of its current functionality, for a device that I bought for 250€. I wonder what Tony Fadell thinks about this.
