    The headline is misleading. Roku didn’t get hacked and leak accounts. There were ~15000 customers that had accounts accessed due to credential stuffing. Aka, they reused passwords on other sites that had leaks and hackers tried those credentials on their Roku accounts and got into them.


  • I wonder if there is something going on with scheduling waits that is impacting the audio process. I would first try upping the CPU units in Processors->Advanced settings for the VM, bump it to something like 200. Otherwise, if you over subscribing your CPU cores, try temporarily dropping the number of cores subbed out to your VMs to match the physical host to see if it helps, since that could help resolve scheduling issues as well.


  • Seems someone doesn’t understand how OAuth works. It does not automatically give full access to your social media accounts, location history, and device cameras as the video says.

    Using the Google button for instance will tell you exactly what permissions are being requested every time you login. Generally, it will be name, email, language, and sometimes profile picture. Aside from the profile picture you would give all the same information anyway to create an account. At least with OAuth there is no worry about passwords, especially for people who don’t have good password practices and reuse passwords between different sites.
