Quick, call the MPAA/RIAA! Theyâll love it.
(I believe that this is the talk in question, not the video embedded in the Reuters article)
OK, so how do we get to these people, or in some other way make the knowledge available, ways to scrub files and neuter this âfeatureâ out without it calling the mothership?
As an emissary of the hegemon, I approve this message.
Why is /usr/lib/Warnning.wav so important? IIRC, itâs taken directly from a Kapersky product, is not watermarked, and yet it is protected by the âSystem Integrityâ daemons.
Coming soon to a computer near you!! Whether you want it or not!!
I was just coming to post their media link.
I didnât realize they were updating the youtube channel that quickly this year.
Realistically? We donât.
Actually? We quite do.
In the war of cultures, culture is a mighty weapon.
Especially as the missiles can be self-propagating. If you can get your memes to be copied around by the ordinary people, you got them recruited. Get your samizdat viral and you score some major points.

Oldie but goodie. The technique usually uses yellow dots, which are badly visible on white background. They are much better visible under blue light (use a blue LED). Worth reminding us about, time to time; things like this are too easily forgotten.
We need printers with auditable firmware, with source codes available. (Possibly a raspi or Beaglebone board with a daughter board with interfaces for the head, sensors and motors?)

In DRM/âTrusted Computingâ-related contexts, these sorts of techniques are referred to as âTraitor tracingâ.
I assume that NK takes the âtraitorâ part a bit more literally; but the similarity of the techniques is convergent evolution, not some fluke occurrence.
Itâs a radio for speaking to God!
