... it's just not very evenly distributed.
The closer we get to the release of Cyberpunk 2077, the more real it seems to become. (FP edit: since it’s my first time on the front pg, boobies, I guess)

Do you guys think we can look forward to a cyberpunk future aesthetically or figuratively? Open question.

For some reason shark gif guy below me muted my response that Tiananmen Square was a protest for democracy & denied as happening at all

china will never let that happen, they are expanding, that seems to be their policy, i think they'd go to war over it, and what country 2/

The U.S. Military has laser technology that scans for camera lenses and then uses high output lasers to burn out the sensors ...
jjw9
Hong Kong definitely has the capability to build such scanners w/ counter op as they have a large presence for laser diode and LED mfg ...
jjw9
... and electro-optics engineering. For example, Cree LED mfg. takes place almost exclusively in Hong Kong ...
Nuttsy
On the fly? In a garage?
jjw9
As a counter op tech, it has to be developed on the fly in makeshift labs. They have the intel capital & mfg capability which are key
Firehorse99
The military also has microwave technology that makes people shit their pants
jjw9
Well yeah, that too, except that microwave tech is powerful enough to cook their shit before it comes out. Read my follow up posts for HK EO

Twitter implemented a meme filter that bans people who use memes they don't like. The dystopia is here
flakeOfDoom
When did they do this? Where can I read about this?
dangerousDoc
They started recently with memes surrounding Pepe and voter ID laws. You can find information on youtube
Arnoxthe1
Who fucking cares about Twitter?
dangerousDoc
Well the reason they've implemented this is to get in line with Chinese and European speech guidelines which want to force the same stuff>
dangerousDoc
On all platforms Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, reddit, imgur etc etc. If people don't make noise when it starts they may never get the chance
RMaybeth
i solved all my problems with twitter, by never using twitter
dangerousDoc
The issue isn't twitter per say but rather that its setting a precedent that others will try to follow...unless its made a precedent not to
Jamerperson
Just glue some IR LEDs under the brim of your hat. A small battery will keep it powered. And it is invisible to the naked eye.
Leithoa
That doesn't actually work.
woodjoiner
great for the prepared individual but no for the crowd.
CityYeti
We could also make these a new wave for fashion https://cvdazzle.com/ they hide your face from facial recognition It looks very cyberpunkish
MistressLyda
Probably one of the better bets.
apLundell
You need surprisingly bright LEDs to make this work. (Unless you can aim directly into the camera at all times.) A couple AAs won't cut it.

Most digital camera sensors have built-in IR filters
cousteau
Most camera sensors I've seen are sensible to IR to some extent, despite of the filter. Checked with a TV remote.
umpbumpfizz
The ones used for facial recognition typically rely on IR for night recognition. Security cams aren’t built the same way as commercial cams.
hesaidsarcastically
Not the ones that do night vision. By filming IR, and often lighting up the surroundings with IR.
DasMutt
Most CCTV cameras have IR cut-filters. This is in place during conditions where there's a lot of light (daytime) and is mechanically
DasMutt
retracted during low-light conditions (nighttime) in order to increase sensitivity. Add in IR illumination, either on-camera or external
DasMutt
and you get amazingly clear B&W video at night.
RaynebowDeathtrap
How does the little LED light disperse the light enough to cover the whole face?
Femto505
Can use your cell phone camera to verify
HowComeDespiteTheFact
LEDs make a lot of light that I'm more concerned abot it making you go blind
LookHarder101
Original comment was for IR LED, no visible light is emitted. If visible light is used they have glasses with them, your eyes don't get hit
SurfingWithTheAlien
Those little dome LEDs have quite a wide angle. I'm fairly certain you could have just 2. 1 on each side of sunglasses for example.
SurfingWithTheAlien
To clarify, the point is to blind the camera with light towards camera sensor, not to illuminate the face.
demizu
the idea is to throw off the automatic brightness by having one part so bright the face is unrecognizabley dark. except HDR exists.
AmHumanNotLizardMan
HDR has its limits. If the light source is too bright HDR won't work.
demizu
true. my thinking was if a dslr can show my face with the sun in frame behind me, they can get past "small leds" on a had.
DasMutt
We don't use HDR, we use WDR (wide dynamic range). Same diff, kinda, but for single-exposure video rather than multi-exposure still images.
demizu
so many ways they could get around the proposed leds, including a brightness algorithm that ignores outliers. but are they implemented?
DasMutt
Simplest way for me to explain WDR is that the sensor actually has multiple sensor layers, which are used to capture multiple exposures

We're getting the dystopia with none of the cybernetics and it bums me out

the cybernetics need the installable gun and laser parts finished first just hold on

That doesn't make sense, megacorps will want to profit as much as they can on them much to the govs dismay

I guess this is similar to the "sticker that turns everything into a toaster" thing. Fun stuff.
Skaboofle
But like someone pointed out, it only works for a specific algorithm.
genbadger
Then they will use irblock filters. Gotta over saturate or burn out the chip itself. Maybe a microwave gun lol
ElynaerDeiros
Big powerful laser will burn the chips and you can make em yourself with only a little electrical knowledge.
DickMercenary
Just take a fuckin hammer to the camera..
SurfingWithTheAlien
But that requires getting close to the camera in most cases and high risk. These folks can't buy a gun. And if you had 1 and got caught...
SurfingWithTheAlien
Even walking around with a baton for low reach camera can get you in trouble and again you'll be forced very close. Other easy options?
BenSpacey
At the ranges these are being used it would be pretty difficult to damage the camera sensors.
ElynaerDeiros
1000w laser, burn a camera chip at 100m, "made in a cave from a box of scraps"!
ElynaerDeiros
In all seriousness though, lasers are pretty powerful and camera chips are not suited to being hit with them so much.
