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.
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!
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...

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.
I like this site, shows how even 'simple' things can get complicated, in many cases you can see the logic that got them there.
The Canadian Decathlon one is here (go to the filter) - https://www.decathlon.ca/en/c/22252/sports - and you can see the train of thought that it makes sense to put a filter in as sportswear comes in male/female. Those filters probably make a bit more sense when filtering a specific category too but I can see how that would all get in without someone considering how absurd it'd look when filtering all products.
Privacy is on a spectrum, but is also compounded by time and once the cats out the bag it can be impossible to turn back. In the example given of Alex Cazes he could change the from email but the damage was already done - there's no way to recall the emails already sent that led a trail back to him.
