Abstract: An example implementation may involve removing, by a computing device, a given media item from a queue of media items. The example implementation may further involve adding to the queue an indication that the given media item has been removed from the queue. After adding to the queue the indication, the implementation may also involve receiving, via a network interface, one or more requests for one or more media items from the queue of media items. After receiving the one or more requests, the implementation may involve determining that the computing system has received more than a threshold number of requests for one or more media items since adding to the queue the indication. After determining that the computing system has received more than the threshold number of requests, the implementation may involve removing the indication from the queue.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for maintaining different versions of a web resource. A client-side application observes and tracks all asynchronous requests for web resources sent from the client to a server. Every time a user attempts to modify a resource on the server, the application stops or otherwise pauses the execution of the request and retrieves a representation of the resource from the server in an original state. The representation is stored locally on the client in a local storage, such as browser persistent storage, and may be stored with a timestamp and the corresponding resource URL. Subsequently, the request to modify the resource is executed. In this manner, a representation of the resource is retained in an original state prior to modification. The locally-stored representation can be used to restore the resource back to the original state in response to a so-called undo request by the user.

Abstract: The present application discloses detecting manipulation of GNSS signals using a second time source. If two or more GNSS constellation signals are being detected, the phase error between the GNSS constellation signals may be monitored. When the phase error drifts, then manipulation is determined.

If more than two GNSS constellations are monitored, a voting scheme may be used to determine the manipulated GNSS constellation.
