I loved the talk but some kind of reds flags went off in my mind when he couldn't answer about heavy metal contamination but i'm no chemist so i have no clue either
ugjka··on Breaking NATO Radio Encryption [video]
So you need 2 hours of both encrypted and unencrypted data at same time to make this attack work, is this feasible? And if you just flip the switch on devices to use more bits in the encryption the attack becomes unfeasible. Piss poor that NATO never replied to them.

It was supposed to be "intelligence" not a sausage machine
ugjka··on Swiss Broadcasting Corporation to pull plug on FM radio
That's he-aac so 56kpbs is not that bad, it gets dicey below 32kbps when you need tricks like parametric stereo. But he-aac's spectral band replication does add metallic taste to everything, i would agree

that won't scale at youtube scale, the next logical step would be Widewine drm
ugjka··on YouTube embeds ads into videos to beat ad blockers
No need for that. Every time the ad plays it is the same bitstream so you need to mark it once (for every resolution and format). So we essentially we will have signatures for ads similar like anti-virus software does for malware
ugjka··on Microsoft to delay release of Recall AI feature on security concerns
There are already Recall type of products on the market, not just that, they also work on the cloud not just locally. All Microsoft had to do was make it opt in by default
ugjka··on MLow: Meta's low bitrate audio codec
Look up datamoshing on youtube
ugjka··on AI Hype is completely out of control – especially since ChatGPT-4o [video]
I'm fine with everything that can run locally, but honestly any product that adds AI on server side will want some sort of subscription from you eventually because it is not cheap by any means yet... So we will have every app on phone or desktop begging for money pretty soon when the hype starts to shift on the wrong side
