What probably happened here is that the speakers were putting too much load on the battery the thing started overheating and probably caught on fire. Then lawyers got involved and you get an update without a change log (you can't admit fire hazard, can you? ;))
- Applejinx 4y agoThat would be my guess as well. On the one hand, don't want to interfere with people maxing out the speakers' performance. On the other, potential class action problems if the speakers are known for bursting into flame or blowing up. So, an update that makes certain no bursting into flame will occur, but mishandled/exaggerated, and then a lot of denial because the underlying issue (which is plausible with something that high powered) is one they don't want to come up, ever. I've got a Blackmagic Atem Mini video switcher that's a brick because I used it at its full capacity for months in a location without great cooling and it burned out its fan (I think) and melted itself. I replaced it, and stuck the base of the replacement on a giant heatsink, and didn't have a recurrence. Sometimes stuff is designed so you're not really supposed to max it out in a sustained way. Unfortunately there are those of us whose use cases are exactly that maxing out, and then there are problems :)
