You know full well that it's never getting a firmware update.

My Sony TV gets an update every few months, no doubt to introduce new vulnerabilities.

When I had a Roku in like 2010 there were dozens of apps I could install, mostly terrible youtube clones. Has the ecosystem fallen apart?

over in the BWM thread a former Steadfast employee is saying he knows the mods to have access to credit card data, presumably because the staff there look at tenant data? it's hard to figure out who is least credible

FactsAreUseless is saying "nobody on SA has access to your credit card info"

negromancer is saying "that's not true because I work at the hosting provider for SA and therefore have access"

am I getting this right?

technically "I worked at the hosting provider so I know that FAU is lying"

why would lowtax retain CC info for accounting purposes? what does logging into the load balancer tell you about CC retention? that thread is very confusing

Even lowtax's comment that he's never seen "full" CC info doesn't contradict TB's concern (afaik) that someone leaked her name+zip.

it does contradict negromancer's assertions that the full data is kept, for "accounting reasons"

as though any decent accountant isn't going to have a full on grand mal when you give them a USB key labeled "CUSTOMER CC DATA" for your return

a hosting provider that tries sql injection against a client's software without consent or even notice is pretty hosed up, even by the generous standard of hosting fuckups

Here's the rub. While I might be able to do it, I do not feel comfortable in doing so because that's not my area of expertise. That's why Lowtax has someone else working on site code. I don't know what all he is doing I can only explain how things currently are, but no radium code will be kept around in the long term. If I put my stamp on the code then I feel as if I'm accepting responsibility with all that goes with it, and I'm not comfortable with that. I have my areas of expertise and handling payment transactions across is not that area. I will describe how it's currently done though and do what I am comfortable with to make things better.

every single one of the claims made against trump is completely unverifiable, and buzzfeed believes that journalism means publishing every claim so that the american people can figure out what's real and what's not by themselves.

buzzfeed published a story about the fact that an intelligence report contained those allegations, and explicitly said they couldn't verify the claims themselves. it's like writing a story "trump appointee claims climate change a hoax".

According to security researcher Andrew Ayer, Symantec has issued 108 credentials in violation of strict industry guidelines that the organization agreed to abide by when it made this mistake back in 2015. Nine of the certificates were issued without the permission or knowledge of the affected domain orders, while the other 99 were issued to companies with obviously faked data, Ars Technica reports. Ayer writes: “I doubt there is an organization named “test” located in “test, Korea.”
