Most promising leads' come up dry

Four orange objects spotted by aircraft searching for the plane in the Indian Ocean turned out to be fishing equipment, Australian officials said.

 

So up till now, thousands of objects have been spotted and most of them are garbage. Am I the only one astounded that there is so much garbage even in that part of the ocean?

Nope, you are not alone in being surprised at the amount of garbage.

 

But what a bunch of bumbling baboons! Now apparently "All right, good night" wasn't the last thing that the air traffic control received from the cockpit! About three weeks it took Malasyia to tell this new version of what was said - that is if it's true. Heck, can't trust anything from the Malaysian government, kinda like with my own; happy thing about that is though the idiotic morons in my government look like a bunch of geniuses in comparison with the Malaysian government.

Seeing as how you can't swear here, I think it's fitting I don't comment further and let this be my last post

Unless this Boeing 777 miraculously reappears in a false flag attack, I doubt they will ever find 'wreckage'.

 

Interesting results ...

I tried this with my 2 camera pictures.

 

No gps location or camera ID showed up.

 

Mine must be too old.

Location is a setting that's usually turned off by default on phones with built in GPS and camera.

I think its more for the photographers who want to take pictures and be able to show others "Hey! I managed to take this picture of that thing from here with all these settings" :P

Well, it looks like the Malaysian government can't decide what the recorded message said. I mean....maybe next week the last words will be "Good night and hugs to all"

^ My Samsung phone has a camera, but I guess no GPS.

 

Not sure why you would want exact latitude/longitude coordinates on a photo anyway.

 

Photo maps or people that take way to many photos on vacation and then want to go back and label them all.

Hijacked IBM Engineer Successfully Dialed Out Of Diego Garcia

 

?I have been held hostage by unknown military personal after my flight was hijacked (blindfolded). I work for IBM and I have managed to hide my cellphone in my ass during the hijack. I have been separated from the rest of the passengers and I am in a cell. My name is Philip Wood. I think I have been drugged as well and cannot think clearly.?

This image, which appears black was posted as taken in a dark cell by an IBM engineer. The picture is black because the cell was too dark, but a critical piece of information was embedded in the Exif data, the coordinates to Diego Garcia, where the picture was taken.

Updated photo:

Download the Gimp image editor. Open the image with the Gimp. Click the colors tab. At the bottom of the list of options, you will see retinex. Set retinex to Scale: 133, Scale division 1, and dynamic to 0.0. Retinex squeezes everything out of an image that can possibly be seen, and it is my opinion that it does reveal enough.

Normally, a lens will vignette the corners, and put the least amount of light in the corners. But Retinex shows clearly that the corners of the image are brighter, and the center is dark. THAT would be caused by a black bag over Philip's head.

^ Someone pointed out in the comments on the source (linked in this thread) that the image has inconsistent dating in the exif data (there are three dates and one of the dates is off by exactly X minutes or something like that) and isn't a resolution that an iphone would give. They evidently tried many combinations of uploading to image sites, etc. to get the discrepancies to match up and couldn't.

 

*Note I read the comment yesterday, so I don't remember the exact details.

I wouldn't be surprised if the US government did this.. Take to a secret location to do human testing, or to take out someone on that plane.. Nor would I be surprised that it was hijacked and is going to be used as a tool of destruction later.

    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Honestly that feels even more useless than it did when Win11 was first released. In 2021, the uproar was somewhat justified, but only when comparing how good we've had it since Windows 7. Prior to that, a new Windows release would often require new, or very recent hardware. Windows XP wouldn't run (in any usable way) on hardware released when it's predecessor Win98 was released (let's ignore ME). It was time to shift the goal post, and the way Microsoft did that was actually ok. People have still had another FIVE YEARS of free software support with Windows 10, and those of us who want to have used these tools to bypass the limitations, all while understanding the impacts that may have. Most laptops don't last 5 years (sadly), so now the youngest unsupported hardware is 9 years old, and apparently has another year of support with Windows 10. That's good. Meanwhile, understanding the impacts and limitations, I have my 2013 laptop running Win11 perfectly fine. The thing that's failing on it is the hardware, the 2.5" SATA cable/chip is failing and corrupting the SSDs I put in. Thankfully it has a functional M.2 sata drive that works fine!
    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By monterxz · Posted

      You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
