The exploit chain does not cost millions of dollars to execute. It's simply the cost to buy the information from the right people. That's like spending four figures for a set of build plans for a coffee table, making the table, and then claiming the coffee table is worth thousands of dollars.
Information can be leaked or "rediscovered" by anyone not trying to run a spyware business and lower that barrier to entry significantly.
We all live on the same planet. Shifting your carbon footprint to someone else's numbers where they don't have any legally-binding limit doesn't solve anything.
Why so many people went for it when there were better open-source alternatives available...
I like how you phrase this like Jellyfin has been around as long as Plex, and is as mature in its development. For many people, Jellyfin wasn't really "there" until version 10.9 -- and that was less than two years ago. Many people had Plex servers up and long established before then, and see no reason to change after investing lots of time in their existing setup. The main complaints driving people to Jellyfin now are:
1) The addition of advertising-supported streaming content.
2) The recent push to make the ecosystem into some lame social media network revolving around TV/movies.
3) The most recent changes to pricing and remote access no longer being free.
- You can disable the first one at the account-level very easily.
- You can also hide/disable the effects of the second and set privacy settings to tamp it down.
- And for anyone who already had a Lifetime Plex Pass, the third is a non-issue.
Considering how much longer Mr Zuckerberg has been in the professional world, being associated with an asshole like Mark Zuckerberg of Meta has probably hurt his reputation.
if they discontinue the product and then bring it back when the news cycle has sufficiently buried it, then they can claim it's a new product and their shareholders will see how innovative they are.
I hope this means they will "reinvent" the K740 since I can't find anyone else making a backlit scissor-mechanism low profile keyboards. The Cherry Stream would be my most likely replacement if it had backlighting.
Making grandiose fear-inducing statements on what is essentially business contact negotiations is the real wtf here.
If this was happening in the U.S. I would wonder if Tesco was trying to bait some Executive Branch assistance from a certain administration.
There are three Kroger-group stores in my city, two Walmarts, a Target, Hy-Vee, one other grocery chain, two different natural foods-focused stores, and that doesn't even count the convenience stores that sell milk too. This is all in a 100,000 population city.
Plenty of places to get milk. A city half this size should be able to support three choices easily. There are smaller towns around me and some of them might be more limited on grocers, but they are also close enough their residents drive here often for retail reasons.
If that much of the food supply is concentrated into the hands of a single corporation, that sounds like a monopoly that needs to be broken up in the name of national security.
The most common hardware token I've seen pictures of online is a Wells-Fargo one, so apparently they do (unless they dropped that program to save costs on the tokens, which is possible).
But it's still better than the 100% guarantee that not trying gives you.
"It's most likely is a fruitless endeavor (for you) to spend so much of your life toiling away. But you know what? There is a slim possibility it might not work out that way. Let's not lose (false) hope, and go churn out some shareholder value now!"

Don't use what is essentially a privately-owned gated community to host your site. Run your own fucking website on a normal pubic webhosting company, where anyone in the globe can reach you and you won't see your site taken down at the whims of a third-world moderation team or power-tripping CEO.
they want their hype fad back.
It's never "enough" for their shareholders. The only voices who count to Microsoft's C-suite.
Of course companies and organizations will be able to block this behavior when they run Windows Enterprise Edition.
Windows Professional is just Windows Prosumer now.
