I hear what you're saying, but not once have I ever seen somebody with lots of tabs be able to find what they're looking for in those tabs. They almost always click through several, then open a new tab and navigate to the content they need.
The prices aren't that bad. What is bad is the direction plex is going as a company.
I recently tried using the new Roku interface and holy fucking shit I've never wanted to buy a new TV and switch off of plex more in my life. Plus no /link or qr sign-in option? I am never. Ever. Going to use that app. Ever. My only hope is that it's not a sign of what's coming to other platforms, but if it's not, then they are ok having inconsistent UX across platforms which is also concerning.
It's obvious that plex is actively making user hostile choices in favor of short term profits.
War dialing! Those were the days. I lived in a city where war dialing was illegal, but that didn't stop me... maybe that's just an admission of stupidity though. Definitely had some cool stuff come from it though.
Certificate Transparency (CT) is an Internet security standard and open-source framework for monitoring and auditing digital certificates. It creates a system of public logs to record all certificates issued by publicly trusted CAs, allowing efficient identification of mistakenly or maliciously issued certificates.
In 1999+ you could sniff people's passwords in clear text right out of the air on public WiFi networks. tcpdump port 110 and just watch them roll in.
In the late 90's you could use a floppy disk to boot nt and dump the password hashes of anybody who had logged in, then run them through a dictionary attack which would take a matter of minutes before learning that your company's top employees used their favorite football team or cartoon character as their password without even appending some numbers to it. Dude with the football password even had the password emblazoned in his office wall.
One time in the 90's I got to a password prompt and just held enter, and eventually was just let past the password prompt.
In X windows if you managed to kill the screensaver password entry box you were dropped back to the desktop, and people found ways to crash the screensaver by overrunning the password input buffer by pasting input repeatedly using common keyboard shortcuts. (Pretty sure this same exact bug exited in early Mac osx versions.)
I wasn't trying to pay attention, but I recently noticed that their team is the second highest team on folding@home, so at least there's that.
