TL;DR: Cofounder of open source project says super popular platform using their project needs to pay up for inane reasons. Chaos ensues.
In summary:
WP Engine is one of the most popular third party platforms built on top of WordPress.
They have a link and images on their webpage referencing that they are built on top of Wordpress (this is legal).
The former cofounder of Wordpress said that they are illegally using the Wordpress trademark.
WP Engine sends Cease and Desist.
WordPress Cofounder doubles down, blocks WP Engine and demanded WP Engine pay licensing fees for using their branding.
This pissed off a lot of people.
WP Engine sues. For a lot, including extortion, abuse of power, and asserts the cofounder of WordPress has criminally made false statements to the IRS.
The Executive Director for Wordpress resigns, presumably in solidarity with WP Engine and the community.

56·3 months agoIt’s not like the malicious actors have stopped looking… If they are finding fewer vulnerabilities, it sounds to me they should be paying more.

At least this device doesn’t need the app, but instantly moves this company from near the top of my recommendations for kitchen gadgets, right into the “never recommend” bucket.
Actively encouraging people to toss perfectly good hardware to fuel their subscription bullshit… and these guys weren’t even recently bought by a VC firm or anything?
This mountain of discarded plastic textiles says differently:

542·9 months agoFrom my understanding, the impetus was that F5 submitted a CVE for a vulnerability, for an optional, “beta” feature that can be enabled. Dounin did not think a CVE should be submitted, since he did not considered it to be “production” feature.
That said, the vulnerability is in shipping code, regardless of whether it is optional or not, so per industry coding practices, it should either be patched or removed entirely in order to resolve the issue.
Saying “Integrates with OpenAI” in 2023 is exactly equivalent to saying “uses Web 2.0” from 20 years ago. Buzzword trash that says absolutely about how the product uses said technology.
TrueNAS has an OpenVPN plugin available, which is typically the recommended option.
