A Sonos Price Hike Is About to Make a Bad Situation Even Worse

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-12-08 02:12:48

As a company, there are lots of things you can do when people are upset with your product. You could offer concessions (discounts in an effort to drive demand), swap your CEO (that’s a statement and a vibe shift), or you could pledge to do better and actually fix issues making people upset (imagine that!). One thing I would not recommend doing when times are tough, however, is raising prices, but Sonos seems to have been forced into this exact scenario. According to Sonos’ newish CEO, Tom Conra

It's Time I Admit I'm a Disney Adult and These New Disney Plus Videos Helped Me Realize That

"It's just that you don't look like a Disney adult," a friend of mine recently said after I told her how much I love Disney World. "Thank you," I replied, because the term "Disney adult" is usually said in a pejorative way, and even I cast judgment on it. But we Disney people are not all alike. I don't own a single piece of clothing adorned with Mickey or Minnie. However, I can tell you where you can buy a Dole Whip in every park and I could ride a monorail all day long.

Robert Triggs / Android Authority Another day, another large language model, but news that OpenAI has released its first open-weight models (gpt-oss) with Apache 2.0 licensing is a bigger deal than most. Finally, you can run a version of ChatGPT offline and for free, giving developers and us casual AI enthusiasts another powerful tool to try out.

“That’s no moon,” as Obi-Wan Kenobi once said. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stirred intrigue with a cryptic post last night showing the Death Star from Star Wars as a hint that something big is coming. That “something big” is undoubtedly GPT-5, OpenAI’s latest frontier model coming to ChatGPT. The company shared a less ambiguous post on X yesterday teasing the upcoming livestream. Since then, Altman has added that OpenAI’s next livestream will be “longer than usual” with a runtime of “about an hour.”
