RIP: The $600 Enhanced Unemployment Benefit: I’m all for giving money to people who need it. But I’m not a fan of the one-time-checks-for-everybody approach that Congress has taken as part of the $900 billion COVID-relief bill. The unemployed are the ones that need more help. The weekly $300 in enhanced federal unemployment benefit—on top of normal state payout—just isn’t enough. (And only for 11 weeks, at that.) The old $600 figure, which expired at the end of July, would have provided more bang for the buck....

Some Iranians Describe Voting As Useless Amid Apathy Over Presidential Election

Sonos Scrapping Recycle Mode That Once Bricked Older Devices

The announcement was poorly handled, leading some to believe their old products would be bricked whatever happened. In fact, older products now will not receive updates, and users may have to separate them on home networks from new Sonos kit. To counteract this, Sonos offers a ‘trade up’ program where people can get 30% new Sonos gear if they still own older, technically out of support equipment. But part of the 30% off deal used to be that you had to place your old kit into Recycle Mode, a process that permanently disabled the products from working, meaning you couldn’t sell them on or continue to use them....
