      Man. The new Sonos app is a case study in how not to release a product “upgrade.” Just shocking functional regression and the performance is really bad: laggy and frustrating to deal with and lacking the utmost bare minimum queue management capabilities.

      It’s really shocking that such a huge piece of shit made it through layers of design, design testing, QA, user acceptance testing, and approvals for release. Just so many failures had to occur. It smells like someone in corporate leadership forcing a deadline.

      Think it, be it.

            @chrisjohnnick Couldn’t agree more,both my wife and I felt that way. As far as two amazing back to back episodes go…Fishes and then Forks. Those are our 2 favorites.

              Why the bullshit always come a couple days before a big trip!!?
              AC been making a grinding noise when it shuts down. Been doing it for years actually. Had another company out last summer and he said it was near the end of its life. New company came out today. Said the system needs replacing. Quoted $15,000 mutherfukkng dollars!!! For a compressor and new coil!! 🤬

              In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                  @Mizmazzle that sounds high if they’re not doing duct work.

                  Weather Changers put a new system in our last home for WAY less than that if you want to give them a jingle.

                  Just looked it up: $6400 for a Bryant system with a humidifier and a new circuit. We continued with our existing furnace and no duct work was required, just condenser, coil, etc.

                  Think it, be it.

                          I work in industrial/commercial hvac so I don't have as much knowledge on residential side but that's out of whack

                            Yup! Seems absurd to me too. Have another company coming out tomorrow. Hoping for a better prognosis. Thing is is that I’ve used the company from today before and they’ve always been great and honest (as far as I know).

                            Fingers crossed tomorrow goes more reasonably.

                                @Mizmazzle as a loose rule of thumb I usually budget $1-$1.5k per ton on a standard residential/lite commercial condensing unit (ac) if I ever have to put a budget together .

                                  @GraemeE well, I don’t know what that means so…haha

                                  You mean like the physical weight of the unit itself?

                                    Tonnage has to do I think more with the volume to be cooled. Mine was 2 tons for a house that I think was 1300 square feet if that helps @Mizmazzle

                                    I imagine you’d be under 5 tons and thus $7.5k based on the math @GraemeE provided. They could be throwing crazy tonnage, multiple stages, and top of the line equipment at you but even so that seems out of whack.

                                    One of my buddies from back home does HVAC out here but is more focused on swamp coolers if those are of interest. Couldn’t sell the wife on that but they work pretty well in Colorado.

                                    Think it, be it.

                                      @mclaincausey damn!! Cause I was going to say, no way that unit weighs more than a couple hundred pounds haha.

                                      Our house is 1,700sq feet. So those metrics def help. Thanks McLain.
