What a weird stance to take when the internet is full of people talking about wishing death on the fat orange monkey and no one bats an eye but something obscure on this instance gets their panties in a bunch.

    So after Pablo Torre did two episodes on the EA College Football 27 boycott and microtransaction reversal, playstation fans decided on the most toothless way to show their displeasure. Brilliant.

    I took the incident as a lesson to be more diligent about reviewing the pkgbuild before installing anything. It's understandable that not everyone will be willing to do that and I think the AUR is probably not for them, at least until there is some sort of safeguard in place.

    I'd be surprised if most people running invidious for private use are following that advice. I've been on the master branch for a while and it gets updated fairly often. For my instance, I haven't seen any reason to restart the service more often.

    There isn't a single provider that will be suitable for everyone even if it's just for sports. Better to go on a site like z2u and start trialing services to see which works best for you and your budget. Banzai51's suggestion is a good one for a higher tier of service. Also, having multiple providers will prove invaluable when your main starts acting up during the game which will eventually happen.

    Original title: Here's why OnePlus bricked your phone when you tried downgrading it

    OnePlus statement:

    To further strengthen device security, we’ve temporarily paused the ability to downgrade from 16.0.2.50x software builds to older builds. We will be restoring the ability to downgrade software builds in our next routine software update, but in the meantime customers looking to downgrade their build can contact OnePlus after sales channels directly.

    Article also speculates about the reason for the temporary measure:

    "prevented firmware downgrades due to a vulnerability that could allow a stolen device to be wiped clean and sold as a fully functional phone"

    Whatever the reason, I'm glad they reversed course.
