I cleaned the carpet with some soapy water and disinfectant, vacuumed it a lot, let it on the summer Brazilian sun with windows closed, engine running and heater on max for 2 hours, and it got better. I still have to rip off the carpet to dry bellow it, but I will only be able to do so in one or two weeks.
the smell is very faint now, but there's water bellow it and I need to dry it, and wash the carpets
@security_paranoid btw - to answer your question in comments that I deleted, I had already edited the other user's comment to replace the swearing and used the [] notation to indicate what was replaced
@security_paranoid so the lesson to takeaway to avoid similar problems is .... just don't drop the F-bomb
Gotta admit, kinda miss the Festive Hat season here
What's your level of confidence that this article is GenAI written? speedster-it.com/…
And what model was used? I'm 90% confident, and think it was Copilot or Gemini
It's so bad.
None of the facts are correct and those "instances" of HDMI hacks don't appear to exist
There was a paper written in July about a TEMPEST+AI model that was used to reconstruct HDMI signals for the first time, yes, but that article provides no citations, and co-mingles a ton of other claims that I can't verify.
I emailed them to ask for citations and they sent me links to blogs talking about the TEMPEST+AI stuff...
So, I'm thinking they popped some of those articles into GenAI, and asked for an article in a certain format and framework, and it hallucinated away ...
> Consider using HDMI cables with additional security features
should I get rid of my DES-encoded cables and use only RSA-encoded ones?
how can I update the HDMI cable firmware?
> Where possible, use HDMI cables and devices that support encryption.
It's AI generated for sure... cables that support encryption?
great, now I have to rewire my entire home because the power wires can be used to snoop on my bank logins, and I will have to buy post quantum crypto power wires...
@JourneymanGeek I would have to setup a printer outside the cage, print any site I want to read, ship them inside, OCR it, and store on a private server inside the cage... or am I overthinking?
@JourneymanGeek yep, nobody uses analog anymore... and nobody uses CRTs anymore. I know Tempest can still get something from lcd panels, but I doubt the quality would be good
and "AI-enhanced video capture" is BS... get anything at all, blur to the max, crop and resize, throw into the AI and say "enhance this" and something completely unrelated will be created
threw this screenshot of The DMZ and asked the AI to extract text... it got pretty close...
so if someone gets a blurry Tempest image from LCD and throws into an AI-powered image enhancer and got this, it's possible to think the AI did something, even if the result isn't even close to the original image
@JourneymanGeek yes, it is... and it does not matter... if an "AI-Enhanced screenshot" is presented on a case against you, the judge may agree you were really planning to put pineapple on pizza on Italy and get jailed for life...
a guy in Brazil got jailed because AI identified him in a crime, even if he was 50km away when the crime occurred...
the main problem isn't that AI processing does not work, but the layman believes it works
we should create a site where you submit grainy, underexposed/overexposed security cam footage and AI would match the subjects with pictures of politicians, so they would ban AI Face Detection
grab all pictures of politicians that you can, create a database, and ask AI to match the input with that set of pictures as output... it would be funny...
@ThoriumBR yeah that’s messed up. People trust AI when they shouldn’t. The problem is that we overestimate it. If a man drives his car over a cliff thinking it’ll fly… it’s his fault
Oh and I guess that’s good news about your car, then.
@security_paranoid that's why I distrust and actively avoid any product from any company that depends on AI
don't want me to buy a product? easy! slap an "AI powered" sticker to it! don't even need outrageous prices, lengthy eulas, cringe marketing... a cheap "ai powered" sticker is all you need.
