Clearly a big f-up by FIFA on what looks like quite a tidy platform otherwise.

One question though, how do you know your feed would kick off the 'real' feed if you pushed to RTMP, does it just take the most recent connection as live? Does the protocol have a mechanism for dealing with multiple people pushing to the same endpoint? There maybe more checking on that endpoint and if course I'm sure most live broadcasters would have a live director to cut any feeds at their end if a dodgy feed popped up too.

A huge vulnerability nonetheless and a great write up!

My city is covered by a low emissions zone so the odd van polluting sticks out. I was in Athens recently and the pollution from so many old rough cars was so noticeable (and quite unpleasant).

Reminds me of how I didn't really notice cigarettes until they were banned from public spaces and the base level of normal was recalibrated.

That's exactly how it usually happens in my experience. I think a lot of people are OK if everyones upright on short haul flights (here most budget airlines don't have a recline facility and it's not missed) but once someone reclines into your space you then recline to gain a little space back and the domino effect takes place even if you're not sleeping.

I think The Equality Act 2010 would be the UK equivalent. No idea whether it would cover this - might be a stretch.

That may be true but doesn't help if not accepting the terms prevents you from using the device.

On a practical level you then at best have a battle to get a third party (the retailer) to give you a refund and most people faced with the option of removing and returning a huge expensive device like a fridge with no guarantee of a refund are going to just leave it.

It does need some stubborn and tenacious people to make a stand and set a president - perhaps backed by a consumer rights group but it's an uphill battle.

> May 12, we began a software deployment that introduced a bug that could be triggered by a specific customer configuration under specific circumstances.

I'd love to know more about what those specific circumstances were!

Ah this is a positive thread so not [flagged] - gotta say Hacker News really has been shameful of late with it's shutting down of the negative stories around Grok.

I did my first toilet browsing on a Sony Ericsson K750i on Edge network. For forums it worked really well. I suspect this site would have worked well on it.

Be careful saying things like that or you'll get [flagged] - discussion of what seemed an incredibly important subject is forbidden on here it seems.

There is a new function available in their app which does similar (i.e allow for proof of posting from a postbox). They've also been pushing collection by postman too.

It saves a trip to the post office which is a hassle which would be a cost for the Royal Mail (which was privatised as a separate company to the Post Office).

Some fair points, but some 'crap data' has storage requirements orders of magnitudes from each others.

One short video can equal a year worth of emails for someone. Similarly those many webpages that don't get viewed often probably require only a negligible amount of resources to keep online and might help someone who'd otherwise be faced with linkrot.

Best to focus on the low hanging fruit.

Good call, I've been meaning to try it for a while.

It feels a bit like ~25 years ago when Yahoo was this bloated do everything company with a bad search engine and someone showed me this simple website with just a search bar that was super quick with clean results...

> If you use the uBlock Origin extension in Google Chrome or Edge, you should probably start looking for alternative browsers or extensions—either way.

I've used Firefox on android for a while as android chrome hasn't had adblocking for a long time.

Am pretty anti-google these days but it'll take some time to untangle myself from the ecosystem.

Anyway, I've largely moved back to Firefox on the desktop too, swapped a few icons about so my muscle memory now opens Firefox instead of Chrome and it's been totally painless. An easy win.

It looks a fantastic building, I managed sneak in for a look around a couple of years back when visiting Skopje, it was full of pidgeons and all that comes with it but didn't seem beyond saving.

I understand all the usual caveats of no expectation of privacy in public but this is very much slippery slope stuff.

Say on the metro sitting opposite someone. If they pulled out a camera and pointed it in your face you'd be offended and say something, with a camera phone you'd still probably notice if they tried to get a pic of you and most people would find it at best creepy and ask the person to stop or move away from them.

This product normalises that. Sure there are some legit use cases but I'm not consenting to you as a stranger pointing your camera in my face. You may not legally need my consent to do that but it's straight up rude to do it anyway.

Will be interesting to see how this pans out. I'm fairly placid and would probably just tut and move if someone sat opposite with these but I suspect other people might have a stronger reaction.

Breaking societal norms like this should have consequences, even if it's sanctioned by Zuck.
