This guy was running a three year old version of Plex with a known (and later fixed RCE), and was working for LastPass.

Corruption goes both ways (FIFA gets some, country decisionmakers get some). Also, maybe it would not be difficult to get major football nationa to support a new org, but to get them to support the same new org? Probably very difficult.

How can you smile but not smile at the same time?

But with DoH you can’t sniff the DNS, that’s the whole point.

With TLS and DoH, how is your bank and other information leaked?

… which is not a high bar.

This is about intro detection in TV shows, not ad blocking. I’m not proposing this as a good way to block ads, just noting that this feature in Plex doesn’t use a database.

Pretty sure they just use timestamps from a crowdsourced database, just like sponsorblock.

Nope, it’s analyzing the sound to guess where the intro starts and ends. Turns out this is pretty simple to implement, but quite reliable. Source: worked for Plex

yt-dl was “shut down” at one point. That led to vastly more interest and the birth of yt-dlp. I think they learned their lesson.

No, they could’t just remove a few lines of code and text - if they could, they would have done exactly that. Yuzu was fucked because they sold early access to day one compat with new games. That’s clearly illegal and scummy, even if it’s big bad corporation on the losing end of it. If they hadn’t complied they likely would have lost any litigation and might also get into other legal troubles because of likely pre-release access to games. No judge would have taken any of it lightly.
