Thinking aloud about failure modes / edge cases:

If i create a high quality deepfake image, project it on a large screen and take a photo of that image with an iPhone (+apple verified image secure tag) ... would that resulting image be considered "authentic" by default?

Would digital forensics accessible to lay people still be able to fact-check and call out misuse / fakery of the new secure tag.

It is authentic, in a way. It’s exactly what you took a picture of.

I do wonder how easy that would be to detect, but I can’t help but think some sort of artefacting or something would show up.

The system is not for detecting deepfakes. It is for proving that the data captured by an apple camera's sensor was not altered by some 3rd party hardware or software chain.

Chunking strategy taken literally. Hmm.

Thanks for the headsup.

it seems they claim to have fixed it :

> September 14, 2026—KB5129195 (OS Builds 26200.9457 and 26100.9457) Out-of-band

> [Remote Desktop Services (known issue)] Fixed: This update addresses an issue affecting Remote Desktop Services (RDS) after installing the September 2026 Windows security update (KB5122880). In affected environments, RDS might become unstable, causing RDP connection and sign-in failures or servers to become unresponsive during Remote Desktop configuration. Related tools, including Microsoft Management Console (MMC), RDS Licensing Diagnoser, File Explorer, and the Windows Update page, might also stop responding.

FWIW, neither the KIR nor the OOB patch did fix the black screen problem for us on Citrix.. waiting for another round of updates... yay.

When you place any piece on the board in any position, you can drag that piece all over the board to "reveal" the painting behind it whenver you move your piece.

Is that intentional or a sneak peek?

That is intentional. The painting isn't a secret, but seeing it all at once with its completed poem is the goal.

Some government bodies and officials post "official" public communications on x/facebook which may not be mirrored or oreserved anywhere else in same format.

There has to be a reasonable way to preserve these comms for public benefit.

FYI you can draw lines and triangles with multi-touch

Anthropic:

AI models should be explainable so that we can ensure and verify alignment. Responsible AI 101.

Also Anthropic:

No not like that.

How do they still purport to champion alignment and explainablity of AI if the reasoning traces are going to be hidden.

I hope in near future _that_ layer of abstraction -- looking at a fairly standard application window with minor UI variations and reasoning about what area / labels within the UI mean what (possibly paired with app documentation) -- could probably become a light-weight fine-tuned vision model it itself that can run fully locally.

One of the annoyances I deal with --

Some features of powerpoint are available on Pro version but not on Home version even though I have both on differnet PCs

Example:

- Set picture transparency

- Morph slide transition

Sometimes i manually copy over the file from PC1 to PC2 just to add this and bring it back over.

Is there a simple workaround for this?
