Don’t use scripts unless you know how it works otherwise you will have trouble troubleshooting when something doesn’t work. But by the time you read and understand how the script works, you already learn how to deploy it manually.
I doubt hardly if there will be one other than Apple Pay. These NFC payments are basically payment processors that have strict compliances and regulation which in trun only few vendors can enter thus sector.

If you’re a manufacture, what incentives LPCAMM2 gives you over soldering the RAM? With soldering, you can upsell the upgrades and force ppl to replace the whole machine every 1-2 years. How does LPCAMM2 benefits the company? I’m talking in general, not some niche manufacturers like Framework.
TBH, I don’t think many will adopt this. Maybe it will show up in some expensive laptops like high end gaming and workstation, but majority of them wouldn’t.
Interesting problem here. So I self host jellyfin, happy to share my (owned) movies with my family. Well, my mother has asked me to digitize her collection too and have me host it. Originally, fine, you give your movies to me, I host them, same thing....
I’m getting tired of the extremely loud ads on that don’t seem to be subject to the old TV broadcasting laws that prevent them from being blasted 10db louder than the actual content. Wondering if there’s stuff out there that would let me take the hdmi stream from my Apple TV or other streaming source, and do ad detection...
As OP said volume leveling is acceptable, something like this will do.
Modifying HDMI video signal is simply impossible due to DMCA and bla bla bla. But not all hope is lost though. You can overlay opaque video on top of another encrypted stream via this little box. This is an old project per se and I have no idea if still available, but with some dirty work you might able to detect the increase of volume or match of an algo or something with a total black screen overlay on top.
It doesn’t and I didn’t ever mentioned HDMI in my reply. Just doubt if overlaying another encrypted stream with a muxer ever need that much processing power to the point of “prohibitively expensive”.
Well, I’m simply reciting what is described on the page based on my understanding. From the diagram, it does not do raw frame processing from the source (assuming HDMI w/ HDCP) as the stream remains encrypted. By the look of it, it is copy or passthrough to the muxer (as it labeled). With some magic, it muxes two encrypted streams into one and output to the video sink. How is that done I have no idea.
Does it make sense to have separate emails for each individual financial account (banking, credit cards) or is that overkill? I’m just thinking that if a hacker got access to one email they’d have all account information?
multiple email account? Not really. It is typically implemented using some email proxy or alias like anonaddy or simplelogin. By the look of it is multiple accounts, but in fact you’re just receiving mail forwarded to you in one account. All you have to do is append any strings as the user with your domain.
(anonaddy and simplelogin requires adhoc address generation using subdomain by them or a domain owned by you with MX records pointing to their servers)
disclosure: I’m a current customer of anonaddy. Never used simplelogin though.
Security wise, maybe. You might be more protected against cred stuffing but reusing password on multiple services at the first place is already a big no no.
I do remember 1-2 years ago there is a paper (or model?) that reverse blured images. It’s similar to how ML based object remover and inpainting works. Granted it only works for specific blurring algo.
Yeah, for the pic you used as example, the tool will just create something that fits. Not really “unblur” the image but guess what it would be with the info it have. It will be very likely not the same face versus the original.
However, recreating background maybe easier and accurate enough for a geo guesser or a ML model to figure out roughly where the image was taken.
