A pro camera with a speedlite pointed at a white ceiling world produce amazing indoor pics everytime, unlike a phone which would be dependent on ambient light quality.
Hash collisions are 100% impossible to avoid. You are mapping an infinite set (the set of all possible images) to a finite set (a fixed length number).
Cryptographic hashes are designed so that collisions are hard to construct at will. But this is not a cryptographic hash at all and I wouldn't be surprised that constructing an image that matches a given hash is easy.
If a movie isn't issued in better than dvd quality is because nobody has cared about remastering them to better formats.
I guess there maybe super budget, made for tv films that were filmed on tape and those certainly have reached their digital quality maximum.
1. Find some one to steal a key from but which I don't care about. 2. Locate a third person that I want to target and move close to them in non office hours. 3. Create a clone of their wifi and try to spoof some website. Hopefully I can be close enough to their device that it would join my clone instead of their other preferred networks.
At step 2 seems like a better idea to move close to the office and start probing around?
1. Have access to their computer to retrieve the wpa key. 2. Create a clone of the wifi network, spoof a bunch of sites and hope to catch one that doesn't use http.
Why can't I replace step 2 with: Install a root kit since I already have access to their machine.
I recently had to make a iOS app that embedded a webview that catches web bluetooth calls and implemented them natively, to work around the fact that Web Bluetooth doesn't work on Safari. I think that would be a maintenance nightmare going forward.
The neutral wire requirement is really a killer for me, as I'm not going to rewire me entire house. There are some switches that only require the hot wire (they pass a very small load to the light, but not enough to lit up even very efficient leds).
As of the gateway I don't really care the interface. I'm prepared to write code myself or whatever is needed.
1) Can have up to 3 individual switches in a single outlet. 2) Can work with just a single hot wire (no neutral). 3) Can be queried about it's status (on/off) back to the gateway.
There are a bunch of Chinese ones that meet 1 and 2. But I haven't found 3 so far.
