              Sonos wanted to phase out some speaker software. Consumers ask: ‘Can they do that?’
             </strong>
            </h2>
            <p style="margin-left: 24px;">
             The speaker company Sonos stepped in it this week when it
             <a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
              announced
             </a>
             that it would no longer support its early products with software updates, effectively turning 4 models sold between 2006 and 2015 into useless bricks.
            </p>
            <p style="margin-left: 24px;">
             The company offered customers a 30% discount for recycling their old speakers. But former fans
             <a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
              argued
             </a>
             Sonos “let a loyal customer base down.” On Thursday, the #SonosBoycott reached a boiling point, and the company’s CEO
             <a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
              apologized
             </a>
             .
            </p>
            <p style="margin-left: 24px;">
             Mea culpa notwithstanding, the Sonos Sh*tstorm brought up a question that remains relevant: Can companies really just end software support like that?
            </p>
            <h4 style="border-left-color: #ff5a41; border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 6px; display: block; font-size: 18px; height: 100%; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 15px;">
             <strong>
              Short answer: Yes, they can do whatever the heck they want
             </strong>

            <p style="margin-left: 24px;">
             When companies like Sonos launch products, they usually pick an
             <strong>
              end of sale date
             </strong>
             (EOS) and an
             <strong>
              end of life date
             </strong>
             (EOL):

              </em>
              the product;

             <li style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; padding: 4px 0;">

               <strong>

             </li>
            </ul>
            <p style="margin-left: 24px;">
             In other words, most tech manufacturers
             <em>
              <strong>
               plan
              </strong>
             </em>
             to stop supporting their products eventually: Apple, for example, has an ever-expanding
             <a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
              list
             </a>
             of its obsolete products (right now, it’s at
             <em>
              416
             </em>
             ).
            </p>
            <p style="margin-left: 24px;">
             And it’s not just speakers, either: EOL forecasting is common for everything from fast-food toys (a few months) to phones (~3 years) to cars (~10 years).
            </p>
            <h4 style="border-left-color: #ff5a41; border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 6px; display: block; font-size: 18px; height: 100%; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 15px;">
             <strong>
              But just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s not a problem
             </strong>
            </h4>
            <p style="margin-left: 24px;">
             EOL is nothing new: It’s been around since at least the 1920s, when several shady luminaries of the lightbulb industry had the bright idea of
             <a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
              building obsolescence into their bulbs
             </a>
             .
            </p>
            <p style="margin-left: 24px;">
             Yet horse-drawn carriage customers didn’t freak out when manufacturers ended support for wooden wheels... because, well, they’d seen that shift coming for about
             <a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
              decades
             </a>
             (the time it took for Ford’s Model T to really replace the ol’ buggy).
            </p>
            <p style="margin-left: 24px;">
             Now, though, updates happen so quickly that many customers feel blindsided when they discover their software is out of date.
            </p>
            <p style="margin-left: 24px;">
             And in addition to customer complaints, critics are also
             <a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
              calling out the wastefulness of this cycle
             </a>
             of rapid obsolescence.

            <p style="margin-left: 24px;">
             Europe could offer a clue:

             Tinder is adding a slate of new features for that nightmare scenario when a bad date turns downright scary -- including a

              panic button

             Physical safety IRL matters. (

            <p style="margin-left: 24px;">
             Tinder’s parent company, the Match Group, is teaming up with a company called Noonlight to offer the panic button -- it’s coming for American users at the end of January.

            <p style="margin-left: 24px;">
             The IRS wanted to use the Microsoft case to crack down on the common practice of tax dodging, so it pulled out all the stops, such as hiring outside firms.

            <p style="margin-left: 24px;">
             If the fight sounds obscure, here’s why it’s still significant: Corporate tax avoidance has increased sharply in recent years. The percentage of profits that US corporations shifted offshore increased from 4.6% in 1996 to 19% in 2017.

              New York’s new law takes more air out of the cashless bubble

            </h2>
            <p style="margin-left: 24px;">
             New Yorkers who dream of a cashless future just got a rude awakening.
            </p>
            <p style="margin-left: 24px;">
             The New York City Council voted yesterday to
             <a style="-webkit-text-fill-color: #ff5a41; color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
              ban
             </a>
             stores and restaurants from refusing cold, hard currency if customers want to use it.
            </p>
            <h4 style="border-left-color: #ff5a41; border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 6px; display: block; font-size: 18px; height: 100%; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 15px;">
             <strong>
              The cashless movement had a moment, but cash really does rule everything
             </strong>
            </h4>
            <p style="margin-left: 24px;">
             Bougie salad-spinners Sweetgreen announced their stores were going cashless in 2016, which made everyone more bitter than a fistful of arugula. The chain went slinking back to cash last spring.
            </p>
            <p style="margin-left: 24px;">
             Around the same time, a handful of big cities and states started declaring: Businesses, show us the money -- in dollars and cents.
            </p>
            <p style="margin-left: 24px;">
             Philadelphia was the first big city to pass a cashless ban, and San Francisco started requiring stores to take cash last summer.
            </p>

              Why cashless is controversial
             </strong>
            </h4>
            <p style="margin-left: 24px;">
             Critics of the cashless lifestyle say it boxes out the poorest customers, who might not have bank accounts -- let alone an expensive phone or watch for contactless payments.
            </p>
            <p style="margin-left: 24px;">
             Just how many people are we talking about?
            </p>

              A 2017
              <a style="color: #ff5a41; text-decoration: none;">
               survey
              </a>
              by the FDIC estimated that nationally, more than
              <strong>
               25% of American households
              </strong>
              were unbanked or underbanked.
             </li>
             <li style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; padding: 4px 0;">
              That represents about
              <strong>
               32m households in total.

             </li>
            </ul>
            <p style="margin-left: 24px;">
             So for a lot of folks, the debate over cashless tech is about much more than just a few bucks.
