Alamo Drafthouse blames ‘nationwide’ theater outage on Sony projector fail
“Due to nation-wide technical difficulties with Sony, we aren’t able to play any titles today.”
Article by the Verge: It reports on technical difficulties encountered by movie theatre chain Alamo Drafthouse which prevented them from showing digital projections, due to software problems with Sony projectors.
I still can't believe Sony is still in business. Who's dumb enough to keep buying stuff from a company that booby-trapped their own CDs?
If you read the article, they are no longer in the business of selling theatre projection equipment.
This was probably an expired certificate. Alamo Drafthouse, like many movie theatres, probably cuts costs by not having a projectionist and lets the projectors essentially run on auto pilot, and then faced the consequences when no one noticed that their certificates had expired.
Yeah it's crazy to think that a company like Sony makes more than just music.
Also interesting that Sony makes more money selling insurance and banking in Japan than they do with their music globally.
They're pushing the boundaries on where to put malware!
Sorry but the booby-trapped their CDs? Could you explain further? I was not able to find out what you meant with a quick google search.
Back in the mid 00's their CDs had a rootkit on them that installed software to interfere with CD Copying apparently also some of them phoned home with your listening habits. Stuff was hard if not impossible to remove, used system resources, crashed computers and was a security hole, just plain shity
They are talking about the Sony BMG rootkit.
Those fat BETAMAX royalty checks?
Sony has the worst cybersecurity I've seen. Hackers are constantly running wild on them
Theater business model as a service
