The magnets in the #Sonos Arc Ultra's Sound Motion driver are so strong, they can attract and hold metal screws to the grille. https://t.co/ATG0MBhIaE https://t.co/zueCog5n4K

Not sure what comes next on Cory's list of punishments but I believe it should be applied to those who do this while on a call. The level after that is for those who are on a FaceTime call.

Hot take: if you play sound out of your phone around strangers in a public place, you should be shot. If that place is a public transit vehicle, you should be shot and pissed on. (Why yes, I am in transit all day, thanks for asking)
