  • They don’t do that, but they do send you a push when the fridge door is left open. Which has literally saved my bacon many times.

    But that doesn’t need a screen. Why you’d want a screen on your fridge, I don’t understand. It’ll clearly be slow and obsolete long before the rest of the fridge is.

    It’s the same thing in car infotainment systems. They’re the first thing to feel dated, and they are increasingly difficult to replace. But at least they give a ton of value from the screen.

    • admitted the issue immediately

    • reassured users as to actual scope of breach, probable risk

    • provided recommended actions for users who think they may be impacted.

    • explained best-practices (enough for a laymen’s audience) and how they limited scope and impact.

    • did not deflect blame

    My god…I’ve got to hand it to plex. This is the perfect incident response letter. Love 'em or hate 'em, this is a good example for other CISOs.




  • The alternative would probably be (much) higher interest rates until you get below 80% LTV at which point you’re “allowed” to refinance…but no bank will ever remind you of this in hopes you forget…or prime will skyrocket and you’ll be stuck in high interest for an unknown amount of time.

    I think you should put away the monkey paw before they get more inspiration.








  • See, the problem is, free news has to make revenue from somewhere.

    If they aren’t taking subscriptions, then they are probably showing ads, so their content is at the mercy of their sponsors.

    Even if they are taking subscriptions, they are probably showing ads. That makes it doubly bad.

    The alternative is secondary sources (i.e. social media), where theres already a bias by whoever is curating it.

    We are amidst an actual information war. Like, there are at least two totally separate realities existing on the US right now. A reliable source of news is important, and capitalism has destroyed all of the old outlets and left us skeptical of the new ones. Good job, everyone.
