Yeah, reading the followup to that post, I think they just created a new intermediate with the same key as the old one & pushed this to chromecasts. I didn't know this was a thing you could do. Learn something new every day ๐Ÿ˜.

I've seen enterprise network equipment with this same issue, but the manufacturer instead forced owners to manually renew device certificates. Their device authentication is now broken because the certificate private keys were poorly protected in transit.

I'm wondering now why they didn't just use this key rewrap trick

If the problem is an expired device certificate then this was a very quick turnaround.

All shipped chromecast receiver devices have the device cert private key safely locked behind a TPM. Sending new certificates across the network without carefully planning things gives us a chance to intercept them & use them in our own receiver software which could e.g. download streams from Netflix/ Disney etc.

Paragraphs 3 & 4 describe the (free) Leaked Credentials Detection service they're leveraging for this research.

Could this be a bug caused by the fact that I have two screens (Moto Razr+)?

Doubt it. This happens a lot for me too on a boring single-screen S23.

I assumed it was crappy devs not testing on FF anymore & have lived with it (since it's a pain to debug css/js problems on mobile).

Next time I see it happening I'll reproduce on desktop FF with responsive emulation & report the bug.

And yet, just across the ditch ..

$35k in NZ for the base electric model: https://www.fiat.co.nz/en/offers/500e.html

And Facebook & Instagram were plastered with ads for the 500e last time I visited.

(Tweaked) Verdana FTW.

I liked proportional fonts for reading code - several of my favorite programming books used proportional fonts for code examples - so when Verdana was released in 1996 I switched to using it in my IDEs. I've had 27 years of pleasantly ergonomic coding - it has a high x-height, different 0/O, I/l/1, and impeccable hinting and kerning. โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
