"Bose open-sources its SoundTouch home theater smart speakers ahead of end-of-life."
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/01/bose-open-sources-its-soundtouch-home-theater-smart-speakers-ahead-of-eol/

Kudos to #Bose for doing this. I've often called on companies to open the code to products they've decided to lay down or stop supporting. If any have actually done it, I haven't noticed. I hope this move is widely imitated.

#OpenSource

@petersuber Unfortunately, while what Bose did is good, it didn't actually open-source anything:
