Physical media I use constantly, but because burning Blu-ray and above is a bit trickier, I haven’t burned anything in more than a decade I’d say.

But yeah, using disks is at minimum weekly. Any movie I want to own is the fanciest, most comprehensive version available

Yeah, I was going to suggest a spoofed LAN connection like the others did, but also if possible just doing a real LAN connection makes BG3 sooooo fun.

Preaching to the choir, friend! I’d love it if I never had to deal with premiere deciding to change its entire layout every six months ever again, but alas

i’m not against alternatives at all, but most of my industry is, and trying to get it all to play nice is more than a headache

if only i didn’t have to use adobe products, i’d already be on linux.

sensor pattern noise is recognizable to an extent with pros, but usually its paired with highlight rolloff and other similar qualities. For instance, when I watch a movie, I can figure, okay, this was probably one of the arri’s rather than a RED, etc. Sometimes, especially with a bit of knowledge on how/where they shot this, you can get an even better idea, close to a specific model. Of course if you’re watching an actual movie, this is all after color correction so its more obvious if you have the raw files.

anyway, my point is, people who work with the cameras and files can definitely have at least a good idea of what camera something was shot with, but you’d really need a huge database and computers to do the work to match it exactly. I have colleagues that will show me something they worked on, with cameras they don’t own and between the group of us, someone can immediately spot what camera it was shot on. but! like you said, if you post pictures on the internet, and then more pictures/videos with the same camera elsewhere, yeah it should be theoretically possible to match them with sensor noise pattern. they could at least prove its the same model. i’m not sure how much it differentiates between same camera models, but i can recognize my camera models dnp easy peasy. i have not had any caffeine yet so this is likely a jumbled mess of a thought and i apologize.

Nope, that’s exactly what will happen. I dunno if I’d call it “intended” (at least not by the politicians that will put it forward), but the various state intelligence apparatus are absolutely banking on it.

You’re only a full citizen if you use Google or Apple is a dystopia I should have seen coming.

surely nothing could go wrong with this

For us youngsters, sure, but if you’re 50+ I could totally believe it. Or at least believe you have no idea what a “username” is

Is there any way to practically check this? Surely just saying “i dont use the internet very much” is enough.
