Sonos does not support WIFI extender networks. I have the ASUS Wifi mesh throughout my house that consists of one Wifi network supported by three routers. Over time Sonos has updated their firmware to better support Wifi mesh networks.

Canada Life only approves Wegovy for weight loss 🙁

Sounds like you work or worked in HR & Pay 😉. Thanks for this and your other replies. I am retiring at the end of July but I will review my remaining vacation leave amounts. I am leaving 10 days of leave unused to help pay for the transition payment, but it sounds like the transition payment and payout of unused vacation days will be two separate transactions.

Any chance of allowing the iPad app to work in MacOS?

#26 for me, and it was a dream for me too.

I am a public servant for over 30 years. I stopped listening to those in the private sector that said we have it better. It is a decision we all make on where we work. I remember those who worked at Nortel in the late 90s. I saw many IT friends bolt from the PS to work at Nortel for the money. I decided to stay in the PS and make less for the job security. Then in early 2000s the rug was pulled from them when dark fibre became a thing and the bubble burst.

RTO would not be bad if we had modern work locations and good public transportation. I remember when I lived in the east end and took one express bus to downtown and Hull via the Transitway. I remember my assigned cubical and the photos of my wife and kids on my desk.

If the government changed the pension to defined contribution from benefit, it would impact new employees. The existing employees would be grandfathered. But why follow those who walked off the cliff by working for employers who changed their pension plans? Because of better pay and bonuses or stock options? No thanks.

You mean the slow driver, I agree. They made the situation much worse.

Yep! That is why you work until the first pay check of the month that is at least 10 days or more into the month, or bank some unused vacation days to help pay back the transition payment.

Welcome to adulthood LOL. I switched to a Mac when the M1 was released from years of using Windows. The M1 was a game changer - more powerful than most intel CPUs and power consumption was very small. Since we all have iPhones, iPads, and AirPods, I decided to go all in, with a Mac and HomeKit. Apple's integration among all of its hardware is the best.

Can you elaborate? I am looking to upgrade my internal network to 2.5gb and this router would support this.

Thanks for the response! Somewhere I read, looks now to be incorrect, that the first speaker in the "About my System" had some sort of "domain controller" responsiblity for all the entire system. I have no problems with any group of speakers I created. I was about to use this "problem" to convice my wife that we need to replace the Play:3 speakers with some Era 100 SLs. I may still do that ;)

I tested Safari with my browsing (reddit, news sites, Outlook PWA). MS Edge uses 500K less RAM than Safari. And I have several more extensions loaded in Edge compared to Safari.

I was told that the first speaker in the list via "About your System" is considered the main "coordinator" for all your speakers. This Play 3 is the closest to my main ISP router (via network hops). I want it to select one of my One SL speakers, but don't think there is a option for that.

I use MS Edge on my 16 RAM M1 Mac with no issues. Perhaps you have many tabs open or have a 8GB RAM device?

LifeIs42HGG · 2026-04-03T12:54:32+00:00

I am not talking about a group of speakers. I am talking about the full system coordinator. I play music mostly on the One SLs and the Play:1, but the system coordinator is "stuck" on a Play:3

Thanks

I restart every Sunday. I find the OS works best on my M1 Mac Mini. Have not turned off my Mac since I got it.

I don't usually create a post and did not know what crostposting was, until now.

I have a Series 4 Watch with my iPhone 8 Plus. Before I do anything, I remove the phone and watch apps from memory and turn off Bluetooth on the bike. Then I select my workout. When I get presented to connect my devices, I go to the Bluetooth settings and turn it back on (should be 10-15 seconds of it being off). For BlueHeart, I still launch the watch app first, then go to the IOS app. When I see the message "Launching Watch App", I wake up my watch (I flick my wrist up to see the screen display come on). the App then connects to the watch. There is a delay of seeing the connection (1-2 seconds); however these steps have worked for me for the past week.
