Philip Seymour Hoffman is one of the greatest actors to have ever lived. But how exactly was he able to do it, without the traditional Hollywood look? In short, it was raw talent, and a chameleon like ability. Let's dive into what makes his performances so memorable.
00:23 ABC News correspondent discusses a sophisticated phone scam called "SIM swapping" that is draining victims' bank accounts. Justin Chan, a resident of Carlsbad, California, lost $38,000 from his Bank of America account after scammers were able to port his phone number to a device they controlled.
02:11 The scammers were able to access Chan's email and bank accounts, and wire the money out while he was sleeping. The FBI says SIM swapping cost victims more than $48 million last year, with at least 9 cases reported in the San Diego area.
03:53 Scammers can use SIM swapping to bypass two-factor authentication and gain access to victims' online accounts. Experts advise using unique passwords and contacting your phone carrier to set up a PIN to protect against this type of scam.
05:33 Chan reported the incident to the police and found that one of the wire transfers went to an account belonging to a convicted felon. The police are investigating the case, but Chan is still waiting to see if Bank of America will refund the stolen money.

In this vidoe MentalOutlaw discusses how YouTube has been testing a new feature that causes a 5-second delay for videos to start playing on the Firefox browser. This delay is attributed to a piece of JavaScript code hidden in YouTube's polymer script, which seems to specifically target non-Google Chrome browsers. The suspicion here is that this is an attempt by Google to discourage users from using non-Chromium browsers like Firefox, potentially due to Google's efforts to block ad blockers on YouTube.
Furthermore, MentalOutlaw highlights the potential legal implications of Google's actions, suggesting that it may violate regulations such as the EU's Digital Markets Act. He also provide practical advice for users facing this issue, such as using a user agent spoofer or creating custom filters for ad blockers to bypass the delay. Pleas make sure to share this information.
00:23 YouTube has been testing a new feature that causes a 5-second delay for videos to start playing on the Firefox browser.
02:10 The delay is not due to network issues, but rather a deliberate JavaScript code implementation by YouTube.
03:32 Spoofing the user agent to Chrome allows the video to load without any delay, indicating that the issue is specific to Firefox.
05:20 Google's potential motive for this delay could be related to their control over the Chromium web engine and their efforts to combat ad blockers.
07:39 The speaker suggests that Google's actions may violate EU regulations and compares it to how Apple and Microsoft complied with EU laws.
