Theremust be thousands of people still using gen1 Play:5s. I agree with @controlav that the advice given to you by Sonos Support seems extraordinary. Whatever the cause of your problem I cannot believe you need to replace the speakers

Note: keep any wired device at least one metre from the router or other access point. Set the SonosNet channel in the Sonos App network settings so it is different to the chosen router channel mentioned earlier. If grouping your speakers together try setting up the group starting with the wired device too as the group co-ordinator.


I'm playing Rusty's Retirement as I type this article. This cute farming sim runs at the bottom of your screen as you go about your working day. You can plant crops, hire watering robots, harvest blueberry bushes, raise pigs, all while validating the spreadsheets from Paula in accounts. Paula! Where are the running totals!? I can't find the running t- oh, they're under the turnips. Sorry, Paula. My bad.


But can you actually play "idle games" like this while getting your work day done? Aren't they distracting and obstructive? These are important questions. I plan to find the answers by playing Rusty's Retirement while simultaneously - and dutifully - completing days of work. Let's go!


Like I say, these games are often called "idlers". The name is half accurate. They're designed to keep you clicking but also to partially automate said clicking so your imaginary income increases even as you step away. But you will always step back. They are the dream of "passive income" made fleetingly real. The raw psychology of game design stripped of illusion and reduced, like so much balsamic, to a simple-minded accumulation of numbers. Mere trickery, beneath those of us with refined tastes.


I sow a field while piecing together a news story about a troupe of Fallout 76 actors. I unlock cabbages between copy-pasting quotes into what seems like the right place, and buy farmer Rusty a water bot to do the hard job of sprinkling crops. He is very slow. Which makes sense, as he is retired. I am not yet retired and must work towards this goal by making sure all the hyperlinks in my article function and do not bring our readers to weird places.


I start my day by buying a bench for Rusty to sit on. But I have an important assignment in real life. I must review the early access roguelike Hades 2 in time for its planned release, sometime in the next few days. Deadlines are important in this business and the pressure is always on. However, I must also ensure Rusty is harvesting his leaks and carrots. I cannot neglect the farm.


This will be a challenge. Neuroscientific research shows that effective multitasking is basically a myth, and that the human organism can barely count to twenty while doing other tasks. I can corroborate this fact. Six paragraphs deep into my article on the god-bashing sequel and I finally notice that Rusty is sitting on his bench doing sweet nothing.


I plant many new crops: corn, onions, lettuce. I buy more plots of land to exploit. I install biofuel generators and build a stall for a mouse-like being who sells cosmetics. I purchase a sunflower in a panicked state of anxiety, knowing that I need to make the screenshots of this game look presentable.


As the work day marches on I constantly flip-flop between Rusty, a Hades 2 document, the roguelike itself, and the notes for the feature you are reading right now. I also do a news post about studios being closed down and discover you can move Rusty's buildings around with a special tool. 20 minutes of the work day vanishes in nit-picky rearranging of robot stations. I must work! Did you know you can play Rusty's Retirement literally on top of playing other games?


During the morning meeting, in which the RPS staff discuss daily plans while looking at one another's real, flesh-and-blood faces, I distractedly remark on the tasks I have to do today. Planting tomatoes and investing in a fertilizing robot is not something I bring to the table, but it is on my mind. Deputy editor Alice B reminds me that I have a Final Fantasy top ten article to update, which I have entirely forgotten about amid the rows of onion and celery. I promise to get it done.


I play Rusty's Retirement while refusing to think too deeply about Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, a game which I bought, played, and sold quicker than a wheat stalk ripens in Rusty's Retirement. I draft a news story about Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite, with one bazillion tabs open. Rusty and his helpers harvest the green peas and pinto beans I have unlocked as I struggle to write full sentences about shaders. I plant blueberry bushes and desperately flail between SEO documents and watering bots. My heart is pounding. This is hell.


After buying some breathing room by submitting the news post to our thorough editing procedure, I find I have enough money in Rusty's to buy a house for a character called "Splunk", who will plant crops for me. It is a revelation. I no longer need to play the game at all. Splunk will do all the work, forever managing a full third of my computer screen, until I quit the game, or I die, whichever comes first.


I continue my quest to update the top ten Final Fantasy list and thanks to Splunk I feel far less need to check the farm. But this may have more to do with finally turning off the "Always on top" option and hiding Rusty's Retirement beneath my work. In this heightened state of consciousness, I get entire paragraphs done, entire HTML tags prepped, and I only once, twice, perhaps seven times, check in on the aubergines and pumpkins.


1) You can press the down arrow key to make the farm's window thinner in Rusty's Retirement, which leaves more room for real work while also revealing extra land to grow more crops. I discovered this on my last day of farming.


For some reason when I was a new mom, I equated not giving my child my full attention with bad parenting. I felt a twinge of guilt whenever I was doing something else and my baby was playing by herself on the floor. While fun most of the time, it also felt like an obligatory duty.


Before I had kids, I worked full time from home. I planned to cut down my hours after kids, but to still work from home in addition to doing all the childcare. I wanted the best of both worlds and was lucky to make that happen. At first, I worked while my baby napped. But eventually, the napping lessened, and work started picking up, so necessity forced me into that uncomfortable, guilt-ridden place of working a little while she was awake.


For me, independent play is not a time when I focus only on work and ask my kids to not interrupt me at all. That is just not realistic or desired. Instead, I do my work near to where they are playing. I am still watching and listening to what they are doing. Often, they both like to huddle around my feet as they play on their own (which I love).


I set some ground rules, like not touching my computer. But overall, they are welcome to ask for help, show me something they created, or even come curl up in my lap and watch me work if they need a little love. To avoid frustration, I only do work during these hours that lends itself to being interrupted. The stuff where my full focus is needed I do when they sleep or when I have help.


starts playing automatically once the page is loaded in FireFox but cannot do autoplay in Webkit based browsers. This only happened on some random pages. So far I was unable to find the cause. I suspect some unclosed tags or extensive JS created by CMS editors.


It happens that Safari and Chrome on Desktop do not like DOM manipulation around the video tag. They will not fire the play order when the autoplay attribute is set even if the canplaythrough event has fired when the DOM around the video tag has changed after initial page load. Basically I had the same issue until I deleted a .wrap() jQuery around the video tag and after that it autoplayed as expected.


On iPhone, elements will now be allowed to play inline, and will not automatically enter fullscreen mode when playback begins. elements without playsinline attributes will continue to require fullscreen mode for playback on iPhone.When exiting fullscreen with a pinch gesture, elements without playsinline will continue to play inline.


This is because of now chrome is preventing auto play in html5 video, so by default they will not allow auto play. so we can change this settings using chrome flag settings. this is not possible for normal case so i have find another solution. this is working perfect...(add preload="auto")


I started out with playing all the visible videos, but old phones weren't performing well. So right now I play the one video that's closest to the center of the window and pause the rest. Vanilla JS. You can pick which algorithm you prefer.


I thought of purchasing Jump Force for PS4, it is not available on PS Store, and I don't know if I can still play it online using PS Plus if I purchase a physical copy. I heard the rumours that the online play will not work in year 2022.


I also had my play/pause button stop working on my PC just a little bit ago, I then connected my headphones to my phone instead and it worked just fine. Maybe try using them on another device to see if it is a headphone issue or a driver/software issue, entirely possible reseting your phone/PC/whatever you are connected to will get it to work again. I have not reset my PC yet because it is not a big deal, but seeing as the button still works perfectly fine on other devices then it is probably just something on the PCs side and not on the headphones side.


The trouble is a writer is acutely aware of the hard work that goes into a book-in-progress and so sees the finished product as a still-flawed extension of it. As DeLillo indicated, the things that may seem like fun to the reader, may not to the writer.
