older/cheaper rokus (the cheaper rokus often being the old hardware packaged in a newer case) are too slow or missing codec support to handle all the services the newer/more expensive rokus do. so they only get access to a limited subset of the choices.

if you really wanted to, you can force in access with some weird hack poo poo, since some of the channels do actually work even though Roku themselves won't support them on the older/cheaper device. but that's a bunch of hassle

the original roku box in my spare bedroom works great with netflix + plex after all of these years and i think that's pretty drat good for a device that came out in 2008

my favorite random little detail in this story is that he didn't bring his laptop charger with him so the FBI agents had to scramble to find an ac adapter compatible with that type of laptop

Don't you just hate when that happens

Security thread posters wrong again, nonstandard port for something that doesn't need to be accessed by general public keeps your logs cleaner (a good thing) and also saves you from most low-effort untargetted attacks which, every once in a blue moon, do target 0-days.

Sure, you're no more secure, but you outran the other guy so the bear ate him, etc.

Poul-Henning Kamp has a few good bits about the "security through obscurity isn't" canard and its overly anal adherents.

You're never 100% secure anyway, so why pretend?

i dont think there is a safe stck to poke other than, if it really bugs you, to email security dept with cc to hr dept that you have observed this and that and you wonder should you be concerned with privacy of your earnings or something

observed what exactly? the op hasnt seen others' data yet and if they do, theyve already rolled around in the poop.

i know this is a huge ask for a goon, but maybe just talk to a coworker and ask them to try to read their own info using your account?
how is roping someone else into the poop going to help anything? one person fired is better than two imo

pretty much the plan i settled on, what bothers me is that she's apparently taken on a senior role at a university i'm considering, because of course she did. i guess that's an awkward conversation for down the line.
