Spotify is refunding Car Thing owners before bricking their devices
I hope you kept that two-year-old receipt.
While the streaming company unceremoniously discontinued its first and only hardware product in 2022,just five months after its release, it recentlyannounced plans to deactivate all remaining Car Things on December 4th, 2024. The slight concession comes after a group of Car Thing customers filed a class action lawsuit with the Southern District of New York against Spotify over their short-lived and now doomed accessories.
