  • I mean, they’re still doing the exact same shit, just a little more transparent about it: Treat your customers differently based on if they’re new or not. Basically these plans just make it more obvious to customers. If you don’t cancel your plan yearly and resubscribe as a new subscriber, you have to pay an extra $180 a year. Simple as that. And you still have to do that every 5 years.

    And if you don’t do it after 5 years you’re paying an extra $420 a year as compared to the 1 year pricing.

    Honestly it’s insane. Esp the you still have to cancel after 5 years to keep not getting fucked.












  • So you’re saying, that a private key within the TEE expired… So they probably had to write a custom TEE program in-order to rotate it? Along with actually securely delivering it.

    So… Did we (someone) manage to capture it? Ultimately though each device is going to have to request a new key, so even with a jailbroken TEE you’re still only going to be capturing the key for that specific device. The key would be how they implemented the verification that an expired device was allowed to get a new key and that verification… Idk not an expert in widevine keys and such but I assume that cert chain expired.

    Edit: sounds like it wasn’t the factory key that expired, just a system level intermediate CA but updating it was still a PITA because of all the cert expiration checks by all the apps. I.e. Google home. Feel free to correct me if I’m incorrectly summarizing. (https://www.reddit.com/r/Chromecast/comments/1j8wtxa/heres_why_a_fix_is_taking_so_long/) Obligatory 🖕 reddit.
