You'd think that a company that is so dependent on such a small number of major suppliers would at least try to do something to make sure that they're not subject to their whims. Worse thing is that it's starting to look like the Studios really don't need the likes of AMC anymore.
Netflix recognized this pretty quickly and is now creating a lot of their own content There does seem to enough good stuff that a lot of people just keep paying month after month.
AMC could maybe, possibly look into something like that? But it might just be too late, I'm perfectly happy watching movies in my own home 'theatre'.
They're not going it out of the goodness of their hearts.
They're doing it because there is a contract in place between them and their customers that they and the customer agreed to when the service was purchased. Looks like Verizon wasn't smart enough to put an end date on it.
IoT is label for connecting devices - it is not "designed". It does not have "security". Its a concept, implementation is left to the user.
Unfortunately, security is a major issue in general, most companies can't be bothered to design security into their devices, applications, etc, because it costs money & time for no obvious immediate payback. It's only when the lawsuits start that they even begin starting to think about it.
