Audio can now be recovered from soundless video...

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Audio can now be recovered from soundless video...

This means that audio surveillance can now be done with pretty much any object setting in plain sight of the room where a conversation is happening... kinda spooky.

They do seem to be making the project fairly open source... which is cool (rather than DARPA just closing the lid and hiding it in their vaults for fed use only). But still fucking spooky.

And once it's out I'll definitely be getting my hands into it... some potentially cool audio recoveries to be had with something like that.

?

I love tech. I also respect it and see easily how it can be misused in many cases. Example, most laws say that filming from outside of a domicile requires no legal warrant so long as the location of the camera isn't trespassing. If you can then recover the audio from that recording, say from the blinds/curtains they drew to protect the conversation from eavesdropping/video surveillance, you have a wiretap/bugged location without the need for a warrant. Cool and scary at the same time.

It's just getting to about the right time for North Korea to deploy the largest EMP device known to man.

Yeah, but fearless leader built it and the only result from it will be the whole world smelling burnt microwave popcorn for 3 days.
