Does anyone know anything about the audio stenography that Zoom has where you can theoretically send in a video recorded of a private meeting and they'll tell you who recorded it?

I hadn't seen a similar feature widely deployed before.

I don’t know about what zoom uses, but used to work with this. This is very widely deployed. Any pay tv has it (typically in video, though), any news telegram has it (and it is tracked worldwide), it is built into blueray (how relevant!) and all movie screeners has it in abundance. Video watermarks are typically preferred over audio, as it is hard to make audio watermarks that are hard to compress away while still being inaudible.

The video part was invented at Philips decades ago. The idea is to make small but systematic changes to the video signal. You do it using random dithering and at the sub-pixel level to make it hard to remove. You watermark harder near strong signals (lot of movement or near edges). You interleave watermarked and non-watermarked frames, and can store 1-16 bits/frame. To make it resilient, you apply heaps of error correction code. Watermarks come with different properties (how long snippet is needed, is it resilient to flipping/camming/decompression/..., forensic, fast to recognize etc).

It can be applied in roughly real time for 4K video in software on a 5 years old CPU (that was one of the more sophisticated algorithms).

at work they made a big announcement about split tunneling to help vpn capacity but either they hosed up configuring it or just blatantly lied and want to catch people loving around.

We have a separate circuit for vpn, so full tunnel doesn’t actually consume much more bandwidth than just having people in the office, then again we have :homebrew: for IT infrastructure and colocate at a major PoP

it's this. google does not give two shits if your app manifest is jacked up, or if you're shipping five third-party libraries in your apk that aren't even reachable from your code, or any of the other million ways that an app can be garbage

I remember helping someone with their VPN setup and I was pretty new to VPN support. They were sending all traffic over the tunnel and I kept asking questions about why isn't the traffic scoped to one range, and they were trying to explain it to me without saying 'we want to spy on people' and anyway it clicked for me like a day later.

Is there a way to restore windows file ACLs to whatever their defaults are? A windows 10 computer I janitor has somehow got hosed up in my absence, and isn't letting Administrators write to the system-wide start menu folder, programdata, and possibly elsewhere. This became apparent when installing a new piece of software.

Am I right in thinking icacls /reset /t C:\ will poo poo all over the ownership of the Users directory and make things worse?

It's just a bog standard Win 10 install (latest update), one user (admin), no manually shared directories or anything special

yeah icacls /reset resets inheritance on child objects so youd just be fixing where inheritance was broken from the root. you can maybe try sfc /scannow which will repair some permissions issues. maybe try windows 10 reset which is the thing where it just resets windows but theoretically leaves your filez alone.

You could try icacls /save on a known good machine and restoring with /restore on the broken one.

Probably need to prune that list a bit before restoring to keep it to just the default files and folders for windows.
