Because they don't actually care. They just want butts in seats so they can get tax incentives. Attrition is a bonus to lower employee costs.

Here's a fun question, after the device connected to the wifi hotspot, would the "find my" feature work?

I don't think it is. I recommend using a password manager that supports hardware 2fa. One of the main issues with the proposed paper mechanism are that it doesn't support rotating passwords individually. Another is sites that share second and third characters would share a password.

Please understand that this "company" and "CEO" are most likely a teen skiddie. I doubt they care about vulnerabilities in their software and I'm not sure if their users would know about them either.

If you file a ticket I bet you'd get escalated if you mention that it's a "security risk".

It looks to be very relevant. CRLs are more frequently checked now due to bandwidth and compute becoming much cheaper. OCSP is a common solution for larger CAs. Cross-signing is becoming more common, and it still is a mess with clients validating it in different ways. Let's Encrypt used cross-signing when they rolled over to their own ISRG X1 root. There's a CA/Browser Forum group which defines rules and standards for browsers to trust public CAs and all major browsers use them to determine which roots to trust. Certificate Transparency logs are also a new development which is like a blockchain of issued certificates. CA/B Forum requires CT to be implemented by all publicly trusted CAs.

As an aside, check out the 30 minute documentary "Farewell Etaoin Shrdlu" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MGjFKs9bnU) about the end of the linotype era. I'm amazed at the engineering that went into linotype printing.

This was probably used internally to develop the built in light show, so open sourcing it wouldn't take much work and could generate some new PR buzz.

It's possible for situations to be mutually beneficial which looks to be the case here.

They made a case-insensitive version of NTFS just to store your password
