Deep Fakes with Real People, Python bugs from 2007 and License Plate tracking for Fun and Profit. Eric eyes a new island while Jon denotes the DART damage. Finally, read up on the Tripitaka Koreana.

  • 248: Thumbtack And String Covered Corkboard

    Eric's back in the kitchen and the kids are back in school. Apple holds an event to #takeJonsMoney, and USB4 naming can get more complicated -- who knew? The IRS lets taxpayer data sit in the open for a year, and Facebook tweaked its URLs so the tracking parameters can't be removed by browsers. A 14 year old boy cracked the Australian Signals Directorate challenge coin in an hour, and rest in peace Peter Eckersley. Far too young.
