How does Netflix know when you try to take a screenshot? Turns out it doesn’t. Rather than a simple piece of software recognizing a screenshot attempt and blacking out the screen, what’s going on is actually happening at the hardware level.

USB C cables all look the same, so how does your computer know the difference between them? Turns out there’s a tiny chip inside most USB C cables that identifies its capabilities. Someone made an open source app that uses that chip to list out the info so you never have to confuse cables again.

Wifi signals can be used to see your body through walls. Using open source software and some cheap hardware, you can measure the disturbances in wifi waves emanating from a router. Those disturbances are measured and converted into body shapes to tell you where someone is in a room.

You can text someone hundreds of miles away with no cell service, no wifi, and no servers in between. All it takes is a cheap radio board and open source software like Meshtastic. Meshtastic turns the board into a node in an encrypted mesh, capable of receiving and relaying information across vast distances.

Siri doesn’t listen to words, it listens for frequencies. In order to stop millions of Apple devices from activating during a keynote, Apple cut those frequencies from the live audio. We put that audio into a spectrogram in order to visualize the alteration.

Why are some HDMI cables insanely expensive? Turns out there is a distinct difference between a $20 cable from Walmart and a fiber optic HDMI. Rather than using copper wiring, fiber optic cables convert video signals into light pulses which improves quality and signal at long distances.

Every time you print from a color printer, hundreds of yellow dots are embedded into the page. Everything you’ve ever printed can be traced right back to the printer with metadata. Is this surveillance or a useful tool for law enforcement?

Your fiber optic cables can technically hear you through walls. Using the deformations in fiber cables caused by sound waves, researchers engineered a way to rebuild and record speech. The setup requires complex equipment and direct access though, so it’s unlikely to be used for surveillance.

Your iPhone is also a color calibration tool for your TV. Using the Face ID sensors it reads the light emitting from your TV to figure out how far off the colors are. All you need is an Apple TV box and it’ll correct the HDMI signal in real time regardless of your TV settings.

Ads don’t come attached to websites, they are loaded from a different server. So there’s a way to stop them from ever loading onto your network. Using a raspberry pi and some free software, you can stop ads from getting into your home. It’s called a pi hole and it acts as a catch between your home internet and the servers that place ads on websites.

The classic cheesy green screen problem may finally be solved. For ages hair has been a major issue for keying software because of mixed pixels that blur the color values of tiny hairs and green screen. But with the release of Corridor’s new open source AI software, bad green screen may finally be a thing of the past.
