Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Samsung LIED about the MOON”.
Hey, it’s me yeah, this guy, you know you know me, I’m Riley Samsung is being accused of Faking moon photos taken on Galaxy phones, Galactic consequences. The space Zoom feature, which was introduced with the Galaxy s20 Ultra allows users to zoom a hundred times and take pretty impressive photos of the moon but Reddit the site specializing in proving that we cannot have nice things had something to say about that user. I break photos took a high-res moon image from the web, downsized it to 170 by 170 pixels and blurred the hell out of it. Then they displayed the image on their monitor, turned out all their lights and took a picture with their s23 Ultra from across the room. The results are pretty shocking. No moon then bam. That’S a moon like being pantsed at summer camp.
Some such as a few LTT Forum enthusiasts initially dismissed this as just post-processing but changed their minds when I break photos updated their original post with another test. They added another half of a moon to the full moon image and only the full Moon’s detail was increased. Either Samsung is adding extra detail from a database of high-res moon images or and hear me out here. Okay, it’s aliens, it’s not a natural satellite.
I have another question: why do we care whether our phones could take like if you take a picture of the moon? It’S like congrats, there’s, there’s so many pictures of the Moon. Why do you need a picture on your phone? That’S my because the Man Comes Around. He gives you a little metal it pins to your chest. It’S the moon! Man, hey! That’S a pretty good picture here! You go thanks. Moon Man, many people’s dead relatives have been found on a facial recognition website. What’D, you say: oh boy is Right. Pemize, a site that allows users to search for images of themselves has apparently been scraping photos from ancestry and obituary websites without the consent of the deceased, since scientists haven’t had much luck on that app for seances, yet they also didn’t ask relatives. We’Ve totally forgot about that now.
This is extra sketchy, because photos of dead people could be used to identify their living. Relatives who may or may not want to be found by their second cousin who’s, still angry about losing the tug of war at the family reunion. That is very specific. This isn’t the company’s only controversy either.
Last year, former Apple employee, Cher Scarlett pointed out that, though pemi’s claims to scrape porn sites in the name of helping users take down revenge porn. Anyone could upload the face of a victim of revenge porn and find that porn, and at that time the service was also charging users. Eighty dollars a month for the privilege of opting out of appearing in its search results.
Fortunately, it is now totally free to opt out of this face search service, you’ve, never heard of by going to its website, which you have probably also never heard of anyway, back to dead people. It turns out that pimis has now been scraping. Images of the deceased from sites like ancestry.com and a Cemetery directory owned by ancestry called find a grave, though, since ancestries terms and conditions expressly forbid scraping data from the site, including photos pimis, may need to find a lawyer.
That was my name before we, it they get put in a grave. That’S vigilante. Justice is a crime. Not by me. I just look at these arms and an online mental health care company has been sharing private patient data with advertisers.
Now, to be clear, this story is about the Telehealth company cerebral, not better health, which is an online mental health care company that has been sharing private patient data with advertisers. Now I can see why some of you may be confused. Both companies offer online appointments with therapists by phone or video, and both leaked email addresses IP addresses and the health status and histories of millions of users to add platforms like meta, so that should that should clarify things. The key difference between the two companies is that cerebral actually admitted to it two months after they found out. Fortunately, cerebral claims that they disabled, reconfigured and or removed any tracking Technologies on their platform to prevent future data sharing, though, hopefully they were quicker at that than admitting they shared incredibly sensitive, personal and or medical information with companies like meta and Google, especially since this sort Of breach is exactly the type of fear. Someone actively being treated for anxiety might have that’s more like much worse help. They should change the name, we’re not helping much cerebral to severe anxiety better than nothing.

You said how about using some sound effects to add some flavors now go create videos with epidemic with a free 30-day trial, all right, here’s what’s gon na happen, there’s a short intro, then you’re gon na get five shortest stories. We call Quick bits: sound good HP, updated the firmware of their printers to block the use of third-party inks. Now it’s worth noting that HP stands for Hewlett-Packard and not as some of us here in the office assumed ha pay.
Thousands of customers have been affected by this update, though apparently devices made before December 2016 won’t be affected, which I’m sure is great Solace to anyone that received a terrible Christmas gift. Six years ago, a printer really Kevin. I married your daughter, printer, it’s 2023 Kevin and what now seems to be a cherished tradition. Details on the newest Google phone have leaked months before launch what what we always do that to our family. A Vietnamese Tech Enthusiast got hands on with a pixel 7A and made the decision. Every Google phone leaker before has made tell everyone. It looks like the 7A will have eight gigs of RAM and 128 gigs of storage, as well as a 6.1 inch.
90 Hertz 1080p display okay, but let’s all make a pact all right to not act surprised when the phone is launched, so Sundar pichai doesn’t feel bad. Okay. Oh that’s! That’S what the phone looks like. Oh, that’s, okay, didn’t expect it to look just like this pixel 7. meta has stated they will end news access in Canada if the online news act becomes law. The ACT also known as bill c18 would require digital giants like meta and Google to negotiate payment deals with Canadian media companies.
Google has been blocking news links for some Canadians for weeks in a test which will apparently end this week. Oh thanks meta is threatening more drastic action because the Bill’s wording could mean any link posted by Facebook or Instagram users could cost meta money. Wow sounds like a great thing to bring up during the inevitable negotiation that will end in paying Canadian news Publishers for Content. You know like pretty much exactly what happened in Australia and France or you know.
Oh you just want to you just want to threaten to ban news. Yeah, that’s cool! Okay, yeah! You do you Mana! You just ban that news, I’m sure that’ll, I’m sure, that’ll work! A claim has been made that a hardware designer has been chosen for the ps6. What’S more, a possible timeline may have been leaked from documents filed as part of the UK’s investigation of the Microsoft Activision merger Sony writes in a document that they will lose access to Activision games by the time the ps6 launches, while simultaneously stating in another sentence that Activision games would only be available to PlayStation until 2027, so that seems like the year. Maybe I’m not good at math, but man, a 69 billion dollar merger has got to be the most expensive way to Hype. A console launch, there’s Sony, isn’t even paying thanks. Microsoft and Pokemon fans are panicking after what else is new? Oh, it’s a different color. Those are donuts they’re panicking because the Pokemon company posted a job listing on LinkedIn and it’s not because someone is using LinkedIn. The offending listing for a corporate development principle is looking for applicants with deep knowledge of web3 and specifically mentioning the n-word nft.
Fortunately, they didn’t drop any hard hours. You know redesign but rocket propelled grenade. Hey, did you go on the Linus Tech tip subreddit this weekend or on YouTube? People made videos about this? That’S our boss and you’ll be fortunate to stick around for the credits, because there might be a surprise. Just don’t be surprised when there’s more Tech linked on Wednesday wait.
What’S the surprise in the credit side, this is my son. What’S happening right now, so confused .
