From the FAQ page of the Car Thing (the spotify device)

"What should I do with the device? We recommend resetting your Car Thing to factory settings and safely disposing of your device following local electronic waste guidelines. Contact your state or local waste disposal department to determine how to dispose of or recycle Car Thing in accordance with applicable laws and regulations."

That's sad. They should link to this project, or officially release kernel/drivers.

They can't. They're legally washing their hands of the product. If they recommended anything else, they could be liable for defective products or for supporting a general purpose computing device, which comes with a plethora of other legal potholes (including export restrictions).

That sounds like one of those things rich people say when they don’t want to do something and want people to be mad at “lawyers” or “government regulations” instead of them.
