He is pretty active on twitter for a dead guy 😏
Question: Could it be possible/feasible for journalists/news outlets to start watermarking recordings with the date of recording, of events. I am sick of 10 year old footage being used as current events ..
possible? yes, easy
Will they though?
Not a chance, these people would sell newborn babies to pedophiles if they could get away with reporting on it
@Acenan it could still be digitally removed or altered
Yes, it would make it more difficult to do misuse footage. But i see as technology gets even better it will be easier to change/remove..
we discussed a while ago is there a way you can bake in something into these files which cannot be edited, not without a lot of effort, so you can figure out if something was editted with like photoshop
perhaps using something like a block-chain will do it. Rather than try to harden the source, get security through redundancy.
if 100 people have the file and it says it was made on like 1/1/2018. and someone tries to say "no, it was made 1/1/2017" despite those 100 people have copies from the original file, everyone can say "no, you are wrong or a liar"
Well, there's hashing, natch.
Perchance a hashing algorithm that also uses the last date of modification or something?
@Grenade123 yeahno
you can already use existing blockchain technologies to sign images for basically free
but that's not going to mitigate photoshop
you would need to create some secure hardware (like a SIM card) that interfaces directly with a tamper proof camera sensor but even if you got past all that you would still be able to spoof it if you recovered the private key
and even then you have to make it easy for users to actually verify something is valid through a browser extension or something which isn't too user friendly and why would people taking images and people verifying images even bother
@ping in theory, if newly created things like images, can be put directly into a blockchain, then while it would not prevent someone from making a photoshopped copy, you could point to the blockchain as the original.
that's only useful as a timestamp tecnique
and you wouldn't put the image itself you would only need a hash
current timestamped techniques are already not reliable, which is part of the problem. How can you tell which is the original and which isn't if you can't trust the time stamp?
blockchain is how you verify timestamps
Let me be the first to say I thought it was great when Tim still had a channel, before he showed people shooting guns and got shut down.
poor Tim's channel, it was a good channel, for a mind-control beanie
also it seems to not be a specific thing, many more channels are reporting bugginess
Good news for the good goys.
Press F to pay respects to the Beanie
Still tho, the instructor that taught Tim to tea cup that 1911 should be fired
F
I would totally watch Cimtast if Tim ever made it.
Wait, does this mean that Tim's moving over to pornhub? This is legitimising my pornhub visits more and more 😄
I'm not grasping why pornhub isn't simply forking off
Like what, the cost of a new domain name and an SSL cert?
The porn streaming sites already have infrastructure
prolly the hassle that comes with it, Youtube aint exactly a profit making machine for google,
All those extra costs to steal users from a monopoly in a market that bleeds revenue
it would mainly be a vanity move if the owner wanted to make a point about being the new "bastion of free speech" or something I suspect
which is a pity - if they did spin off a 2nd domain for non-porn vids, then I wouldn't have to bypass the uk's anti-porn laws to go watch such channels
Of course the uk has anti porn laws for the internet...
TIL and not surprised.
👌
Good news lads. They backed out of the deal so western countires won't get 16,000 blacks from Israel.
