But that wouldn't make it a chromecast problem at all but rather a malware on-some-other-platform problem.
I agree with your uPNP assesment as we even have TWO uPNP problems here:
the uPnp problem that allows anyone to open a port forwarding without any authentification and the uPNP/DLNA problem that allows anyone to discover and control AV equipment without any authentification.
On the other hand: NAT was never meant as any level of protection. It's disability to open ports rendered several protocols useless behind a NAT (MS Netmeeting, some early VPN, FTP, any online multiplayer games that required one of the players doubling as a game server, ICQ and IRC file transfer) and was seen as a huge problem and something to avoid if you could get hold of enough static IP adresses for your LAN machines..
According to some other newssource (heise.de) they rather use that guy as a new rickrolling target than actually endorsing him. (or to be as exact as I remember, they would rather prefer a personally owned channel to lead youtube statistics than a corporate commercial one like the one that recently took over the youtube lead)
As far as the trash issues, that is just people being fucking assholes
That is true for 98% of the earth's most urgent issues including the problems caused by Trump and the issues that made him a voting option for a majority.
That's how we ended up with Viagra and (questionable) weight loss pills and still no cure for malaria. The incentive was plain and simple the money you can make.
But you shouldn't forget that America did it's best to keep Germany from having an army (again...) at all. Only after West Germany ended up being the forefront of the iron curtain the idea of a German army started to sound less bad.
That's not even what I'm talking about. Why is it even possible for an Amazon employee to make these voice files available to other users through the interfaces available to them?
Because extracting those files it is a manual process so that employee has to be given access to all recordings from accounts that are entitled to a download of their extracted audio files through GDPR.
To limit access to files for the requesting account the permission system would need to know to which accounts that employee needs to have access today. (and if you do that manually, errors might happen there)
Well I was using "in need of their meds" not as an actual medical diagnosis but as a general catch-all of having lost all contact with reality or posting claims with no connection to it.
As such and as a not medically trained person, people may indeed be better off with advice from the Swedish Chef than mine...
How does a CEO of a company worth almost a trillion dollars go into a high profile meeting with the US House Judiciary Committee and _not_ already know about the things they're likely to ask about?
I guess because the hearing was not about getting answers from Pichai but more about the Senators talking.
It was usually "Bla Bla Bla Blah Blah" - "Unrelated question" - "Yes or No?" - "Huh?" - "YES OR NO!!?!"
Google and Facebook try to have it both ways. They want the indemnity of being a service provider, while simultaneously being able to pursue their politics-- promoting what they prefer, while banning what they don't.
At the same time, gouvernments all over the world try to regulate them both ways as they see fit today. They also need to make their minds up what Google is and stick to that.
I watched large parts of the hearing today. Much of it was about bias and Senators wanted them to have an unbiased algorithm, but a balanced result, despite biased input. Also politicians need to understand that they can't have it both ways.
The Pizzagate claims were so ridiculous, that trying to expose or disprove it would have made anyone who tried look like a nutter himself. It's like trying to disprove the claim that gravity stopped working last thirsday between 3 and 5 pm. Where would you start when you even can't find a single person who would recall such an event? And even mentioning that would just be switched over as evidence on how powerfull the cover-up has to be if "they" manage to delete everyone's memories....
Yes, people you would need their medication posting on youtube IS a problem. But neither stopping them from posting would be an solution, nor would trying to sensibly counter them be.
Even before the internet every village had the village idiot. But they were isoplated, everyone else knew to ignore him and most important: He couldn't team up with thousands of other village's village idiots for confirmation.
And I would even suggest an older book: Neuromancer. It's Cyberpunk staple that hacking runs require a well timed physical access either to plant a bridge head, to bypass a physical security switch or to create a diversion.
It's the other way round in heist movies: A raid party has their computer nerd to hack the alarm system (which is not only for dramatic reasons possible only after bypassing a first layer of physical security)

Why would one buy a connected device designed to play internet videos and not connect it to the internet?

Intresting enough.. the same hackers claimed to have done exactly that. But with an url to the same youtube-channel and not goatse.
Well, probably because they turned a blind eye when the NSA was caught snooping on Merkel's private phone calls....
And "Bild" isn't exactly some reputable or unbiased source.
I probably would.
You probably would, too.
But if you would, wouldn't you be pissed too, that you had to do what you already paid your government to do?

You are assuming that they want to produce some unwatchable garbage. But then - "Crouching Tiger - Hidden Dragon" came pretty close.
My next question would be: what was the last chinese or indian movie you saw?
The correct person to sue is his harasser.
But there's no money in that.
Know any cheaper snacks?

Which some people might say is a part of a different problem.

Edge got derailed with a transpartent div on top of the regulat content?
As it's used to right-click-block the download image option since decades? Or as annoying ad popup? Really?
Then it may have been a good idea to cancel edge.
Reads like a Google translation from golgafrinchian.
We're going back there, we're going back....

In real life, when someone says stuff like that, they can be publicly shamed - on the internet, it's almost a badge of honor.
No catual comment on that, but I just wanted to repeat that :-)

Will a flashlight and a ladder be common tools of computer security someday?
Oh boy. I have a book you really need to read.
They are...

Well yes, an iPhone may be many people's dream, too, but yes, to Apple it's a mass product.
Even better to see that these cars are the manufacturers dream also and something that they appreciate, too.
