tell me about your defense contract pleage

Oh boy!

To be fair, it's nothing grandiose, like, it wasn't about "a new missile blueprint" or whatever, but, just thinking about what it could have become? yeesh.

So, let's go.

For context, this is taking place in the early 2010s, where I was working as a dev and manager for a company that mostly did space stuff, but they had some defence and security contracts too.

One day we got a new contract though, which was... a weird one. It was state-auctioned, meaning that this was basically a homeland contract, but the main sponsor was Philip Morris. Yeah. The American cigarette company.

Why? Because the contract was essentially a crackdown on "illegal cigarette sales", but it was sold as a more general "war on drugs" contract.

For those unaware (because chances are, like me, you are a non-smoker), cigarette contraband is very much a thing. At the time, ~15% of cigarettes were sold illegally here (read: they were smuggled in and sold on the street).

And Phillip Morris wanted to stop that. After all, they're only a small company worth uhhh... oh JFC. Just a paltry 150 billion dollars. They need those extra dollars, you understand?

Anyway. So they sponsored a contract to the state, promising that "the technology used for this can be used to stop drug deals too". Also that "the state would benefit from the cigarettes part as well because smaller black market means more official sales means a higher tax revenue" (that has actually been proven true during the 2020 quarantine).

Anyway, here was the plan:

Phase 1 was to train a neural network and plug it in directly to the city's video-surveillance system, in order to detect illegal transactions as soon as they occur. Big brother who?

Phase 2 was to then track the people involved in said transaction throughout the city, based on their appearance and gait. You ever seen the Plainsight sheep counting video? Imagine something like this but with people. That data would then be relayed to police officers in the area.

So yeah, an automated CCTV-based tracking system. Because that's not setting a scary precedent.

So what do you do when you're in that position? Let me tell you. If you're thrust unknowingly, or against your will, into a project like this,

Note. The following is not a legal advice. In fact it's not even good advice. Do not attempt any of this unless you know you can't get caught, or that even if you are caught, the consequences are acceptable. Above all else, always have a backup plan if and when it backfires. Also don't do anything that can get you sued. Be reasonable.

Let me introduce you to the world of Corporate Sabotage! It's a funny form of striking, very effective in office environments.

Here's what I did:

First of all was the training data. We had extensive footage, but it needed to be marked manually for the training. Basically, just cropping the clips around the "transaction" and drawing some boxes on top of the "criminals". I was in charge of several batches of those. It helped that I was fast at it since I had video editing experience already. Well, let's just say that a good deal of those markings were... not very accurate.

Also, did you know that some video encodings are very slow to process by OpenCV, to the point of sometimes crashing? I'm sure the software is better at it nowadays though. So I did that to another portion of the data.

Unfortunately the training model itself was handled by a different company, so I couldn't do more about this.

Or could I?

I was the main person communicating with them, after all.

Enter: Miscommunication Master

In short (because this is already way too long), I became the most rigid person in the project. Like insisting on sharing the training data only on our own secure shared drive, which they didn't have access to yet. Or tracking down every single bug in the program and making weekly reports on those, which bogged down progress. Or asking for things to be done but without pointing at anyone in particular, so that no one actually did the thing. You know, classic manager incompetence. Except I couldn't be faulted, because after all, I was just "really serious about the security aspect of this project. And you don't want the state to learn that we've mishandled the data security of the project, do you, Jeff?"

A thousand little jabs like this, to slow down and delay the project.

At the end of it, after a full year on this project, we had.... a neural network full of false positives and a semi-working visualizer.

They said the project needed to be wrapped up in the next three months.

I said "damn, good luck with that! By the way my contract is up next month and I'm not renewing."

Last I heard, that city still doesn't have anything installed on their CCTV.

tl;dr: I used corporate sabotage to prevent automated surveillance to be implemented in a city--

hey hold on

wait

what

HEY ACTUALLY I DID SOME EXTRA RESEARCH TO SEE IF PHILLIP MORRIS TRIED THIS SHIT WITH ANOTHER COMPANY SINCE THEN AND WHAT THE FUCK

HUH??????

well what the fuck was all that even about then if they already own most of the black market???

#i'm sorry this got sidetracked in the end #i'm speechless #anyway yeah!#sometimes activism is sitting in an office and wasting everyone's time in a very polite manner #i learned that one from the CIA actually

TRIPITAKA - the lost spiritual sequel to Cosmology of Kyoto was found

This post is a compilation of a series of tweets I have composed over a period of weeks during this summer.

For years, it was uncertain whether TRIPITAKA 玄奘三蔵求法の旅, by Soft Edge, had in fact ever been published. I remind the more absent-minded readers that this is the studio responsible for the mythical CD-ROM Cosmology of Kyoto, originally released in Japan in 1993, later published in the United States by Yano Electric in 1995. Knowledge of this their second and final production comes solely from the online CVs of producers Hiroshi Ōnishi and Mori Kōichi. No other information could be found online, and no actual copy of the game was known to exist.

Earlier this year, this disc surfaced at Yahoo Auctions. It sold for nearly $300 after 24 bids.

As suggested by its tile, which translates to Xuanzang Sanzo's Dharma-Seeking Journey, it was always assumed that the game illustrated episodes of the life of the celebrated Chinese Buddhist monk, particularly his 7th century pilgrimage to India. The captures printed on the back not only show a character highly reminiscent of the ancient scholar, they depict a variety of scenes taking place in China and India.

According to the severely incomplete archived version of PD Inc's website, the Japanese publisher responsible for this digipack, it was available for sale at museums hosting the 1999 Silk Road Journey To The West exhibition, which suitably matches the date printed on the back cover. However, this date presents yet another open question, as the Ōnishi-San and Kōichi-San bios both list it as a 1995 production.

The technical specifications may provide an enlightening clue, as they refer to Windows 95, 640x480px resolution and an 8-Bit color mode. This indicates that TRIPITAKA was indeed developed sometime between 1993 and 1995, although it was never published in the CD-ROM game circuit, certainly not in the immediate years after its development was completed. Combined with the data retrieved from the publisher's website, the edition shown here appears to have been produced solely for the occasion, as a means to diversify the museum shop catalog for this major exhibit, given the shared theme.

It would have been nearly impossible, had the program been in fact published in 1995, for a single copy to not have been spotted or mentioned online by the many Japanese collectors who have attempted to locate it for decades, unsuccessfully. On the other hand, a CD-ROM that was sold at a museum exhibit is likely to be purchased by visitors who were entirely unaware of the item's relevance as an elusive multimedia gem.

If a tangent is permitted here, both productions are inextricably linked with the museum space, and as far as I can speculate, Cosmology of Kyoto was, itself, also published with the intention of being made available in gallery stores in addition to computer game retailers. I say this because this was a production made possible by collaborative efforts including a variety of Japanese museums, to the extent these are referenced by name in the game's credits.

Considering the price at which the item was sold at auction, I was fairly certain that it was purchased by one such video game collector who knew exactly what they were bidding for. Later in July, I was able to locate the buyer and establish contact. Initially, the buyer was only able to produce this screenshot of the disc program launcher. The title reads "Cosmology of Asia", validating the claims that Soft Edge was in effect planning for series of edutainment software prior to its demise in the mid-90s.

In my second contact with the owner, I asked if he was available to produce a disc image and share it online for purposes of software preservation. The owner politely declined, stating that this was not something he was willing to do but offered to record the following gameplay video instead.

youtube

At a glance, the art style of Tripitaka is unsurprisingly similar to that of Cosmology. Most of its episodes occur during the day, whereas the latter was mostly played under the dark cover of night. The first scene depicts a dying Xuanzang reminiscing on his journeys in the company of a young chronicler. Structurally, both games are also nearly indistinguishable from one another, producing ample historical information for context, including detailed maps and chronologies.

TRIPITAKA was considered to be lost media for decades. As such, the importance of this footage could hardly be overstated. I would not hesitate to compare this development to the unearthing of Osamu Sato's Chu-Teng, the Eastern Mind sequel that was also deemed lost for many years, miraculously found during the time this blog was inactive.

I am delighted to have played a minor role in the unraveling of this thirty year old mystery, and can hardly contain my enthusiasm, as I now find myself equipped with sufficient information to produce a full post concerning a game about which I could not have written more than a sentence, just last year.

I would also like to thank the author of the @mendelpalace Tumblr for his timely alert regarding the Yahoo listing.

#tripitaka #soft edge #lost media #cosmology of kyoto #Xuanzang #buddhism #Youtube #TRIPITAKA 玄奘三蔵求法の旅

Hurry, She Needs You

Summary: Natasha becomes ill from what they think is food poisoning. Tony and Bruce try to care for her until Clint arrives home from a deep cover mission. Part 1 of 6

Whumptober Day 1: Swooning | “How many fingers am I holding up?”

Natasha whump, light whump, eventual happy ending

“OK, I made my speech. I'm ready to leave." Tony Stark loosened his silk, Ferragamo tie and unbuttoned the top of his white dress shirt.

"Photo op with the Board of Directors and then we can go." His sultry companion tossed her long red hair over her shoulder, surveying the room.

New York’s finest came out for the city’s annual Public Works Charity Auction. Natasha had agreed to accompany Tony while Pepper was at the Clean Energy Conference in Chicago.

"Really?" He asked, eyes lighting up. "Pepper always makes me stay and schmoose."

"Do you want me to act like your wife tonight?" Natasha arched an eyebrow and toyed with her empty rocks glass.

"That's a loaded question, Agent Romanov." He smirked and signaled for another drink.

“If anything,” Tony lowered his voice, “I need you to use your skills on Aldrich Killian. There are whispers he’s experimenting with biologicals and I want to know what he’s up to.”

“Maybe the next party. I’m tasked to only one crazy billionaire tonight.”

"Aren't I the lucky one?” Stark raked his eyes over her elegant figure.

Natasha wore a simple yet sexy little black dress with a diamond necklace, earrings and a plain black band on her right ring finger. He joked that the ring had a hidden needle full of poison inside.

“Aldrich couldn’t handle you in that dress tonight, anyway.” That got a smirk out of her. “Speaking of simps, where’s Barton?”

Her face softened, becoming almost wistful.

“Too far.”

“Excuse me, Mr. Stark.” A waiter interrupted and held out a short glass with clear liquid, another sat on a small tray. “Compliments of Mr. Killian.”

Tony looked across the room at Aldrich then turned away from his top competitor and rolled his eyes.

Natasha accepted both, thanked the young man and downed the first drink in one gulp. She held up the second and toasted to Killian in thanks.

“He doesn’t look pleased that I drank his expensive liquor.”

“I'm sure he wanted to see me choke on it.”

“Bitter finish,” she scrunched her nose, “I did you a favor.”

The host of the evening announced a silent auction would begin in ten minutes.

“Romanov, get us out of here.”

“Follow me.” Natasha stood but quickly put a hand to her forehead.

“You okay?” Tony jumped to her side when she swooned and grabbed for the edge of the table.

Tony laced his arm through hers. She giggled.

“Wait. Are you drunk?”

"No.” Natasha yanked her arm free, wobbling a little as she did so.

"How many fingers am I holding up?" He’d seen Natasha drink way more than tonight but never slur or stumble.

"Funny. Do you want to leave? Or do you want me to announce that the after party is at your house?” She turned towards the podium.

“No, no.” He stopped her. “No more jokes. Get us out of here.”

On the ride home, Natasha was quiet. Tony kept from commenting on the fine sheen of sweat glistening over her face and neck or how she kept her eyes closed, making little noises with every turn of the car.

He had his own private entrance to his penthouse but offered to ride up with Nat.

“I’m fine.” She clipped and fumbled into the elevator.

Tony hovered until the number to her floor stopped and started back down. The doors opened.

The empty compartment should have made him feel better, but it didn't.

Stark wandered down to his basement lab and poured a scotch, contemplating on how to check on his favorite bodyguard without her knowing he was checking on her.

Hey. he texted. Does William Tell know we went on a date?

Waiting for a reply, Tony flipped on the news and opened his new software system, an advanced A. I. program he’d been working on for the Tower.

Glancing at his phone, he frowned. No response yet. He tried again.

Breakfast in the morning? Happy wants to go over the new security install with you.

His knee bounced impatiently waiting for a response.

At the five minute mark, Tony called for Jarvis.

“Jarvis, security override, Stark616. What is the status of Agent Romanov?”

“Agent Romanov’s heart rate and blood pressure are abnormal. Vitals indicate she is unconscious, sir.”

Tony raced to the elevator.

“Agent Romanov is in Agent Barton’s quarters, the master bathroom.”

Tony would’ve enjoyed that little piece of information any other time, right now, he needed to know Nat was okay.

Rushing through Clint’s apartment, Tony burst into the bathroom.

“Oh my God, Natasha.” She was unconscious on the floor. “Nat, wake up! Jarvis, call Bruce!”

tbc...entire story will be posted below after part 6

@lavendermanna

1) CORRECT, it was intended as the successor to cassette tapes, and as a more portable companion to CD, as tapes were to vinyl records, in a way. all the convenience of tapes and CDs in one package :3

2) ebay and Japanese proxy shopping! with some luck you can find a recorder in decent shape on ebay for an okay price (I shoot for about $100 or less when possible) and $50 or less for playback only models like the one in my post. I've also used a proxy service for yahoo! Japan auctions called buyee.jp because you can usually find players bundled with accessories (in-line remote, charging dock, battery sidecar) in good shape for a decent price as well. highly recommend budgeting for that though bc Japanese sellers love to over-pack orders which is nice for keeping ur order safe but the package dimensions + weight are used to calculate shipping so you may end up paying more than you would expect (shout out to the seller who sent me a Nintendo switch cart by itself inside of a massive box and a huge bundle of bubble wrap. fuck you dude this could've been an envelope 🖕) anyways I think NetMD is worth it for getting into minidisc bc it's so easy and quick but they tend to be a bit more expensive than pre-NetMD recorders because of their popularity. on the plus side this also means you can find an older recorder for cheaper than NetMD devices. oh and avoid most Location:Japan listings in ebay bc chances are they're just relisting a yahoo Japan auction item they don't even have, for twice as much as you'd be likely to pay if you bought it from Yahoo auctions urself.

3) so there's actually two methods for recording discs, one is live dubbing, which is to say connecting a recorder to the audio source with either analog line-in connection or a digital TOSLINK cable (or a 3.5mm jack microphone on some models) OR later model recorders that have a feature called NetMD in which you can plug in through USB and upload your tracks. it used to be a proprietary software but some enthusiasts have reverse engineered their own program accessible through Chrome based browsers (rare Firefox L) that allow you to upload music even easier. I use a usb-c to mini usb cable and the web app installed on my Android phone to burn most of my discs when I don't feel like doing a live recording just bc it's way faster. live recording can be a vibe though, I love recording my record collection so I can take them with me on the go :3

ebay search for MD recorders

buyee search for Net MD recorders

buyee search for MD players (only bc the players are much thinner and less scary to carry around than ur precious recorder. less wear and tear as well on ur recorder as well)

web minidisc pro (for recording through NetMD) and WMD guide to learn how to use it, and the rest of the wiki is useful for researching models while you shop

minidisc wiki discord and finally the official wiki discord! everyone's real friendly in here, come on in and join us sometime, there's tons of seasoned MD enthusiasts who are ready to help with any problem or question you could possibly have :)

Unlocking the Power of Darkweb Data API Integration for Modern Cybersecurity

In today’s hyper-connected world, digital threats are no longer limited to surface-level cyberattacks. As threat actors grow more organized, sophisticated, and collaborative, the dark web has emerged as a marketplace for stolen data, malware, exploit kits, and intelligence-sharing among cybercriminals. To safeguard critical assets, organizations must reach beyond conventional firewalls and detection systems. This is where Darkweb data API integration becomes a game-changing element in a modern cybersecurity strategy.

This comprehensive blog explores how integrating dark web data into your security infrastructure gives you early warnings of impending breaches, enhances your visibility into adversarial behavior, and helps protect your digital ecosystem before damage is done.

Understanding the Dark Web

The internet is structured in three distinct layers: the surface web (publicly accessible content), the deep web (password-protected and unindexed pages), and the dark web—a hidden layer that requires specialized software like Tor to access. While the dark web isn’t inherently malicious, it is widely used for illegal and covert activities, including data sales, hacking forums, and illicit trade.

Monitoring this space is crucial for identifying threats that traditional tools overlook.

The Cybercrime Economy and Emerging Threats

The global cybercrime economy is estimated to cost trillions annually. From corporate credentials being auctioned off in hacker forums to ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) kits being promoted to aspiring cybercriminals, the dark web fuels most modern data breaches and malware campaigns.

Companies without visibility into these networks remain unaware of leaked credentials, breached assets, or upcoming targeted campaigns—until it’s too late.

What Is Darkweb Data API Integration?

Darkweb data API integration refers to the secure incorporation of dark web monitoring feeds into an organization’s cybersecurity systems using Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). These APIs provide structured access to real-time and historical intelligence collected from threat actor forums, marketplaces, encrypted chatrooms, and breach databases.

Rather than manually scouring dark web forums (an impossible task), security teams receive filtered, relevant insights through automation.

Why Surface-Level Monitoring Isn’t Enough

Firewalls, SIEMs, and endpoint detection platforms often miss external threats brewing beyond the organization’s digital perimeter. The problem is not with these tools but with the visibility gap—they can’t detect chatter or planning among cybercriminals unless integrated with external intelligence sources.

By bridging this gap, API-driven dark web feeds deliver deeper situational awareness.

Key Benefits of Darkweb API-Driven Threat Intelligence

Let’s explore the practical benefits of leveraging dark web APIs:

Proactive Breach Detection: Get alerts when your credentials or digital assets appear in forums or dumps.

Targeted Threat Monitoring: Watch for brand mentions or product vulnerabilities being exploited.

Enhanced Incident Response: Correlate dark web findings with internal alerts for contextual decisions.

Risk Scoring: Use dark web indicators to prioritize vulnerabilities and threats.

Compliance Assurance: Gain evidence to support regulatory disclosure requirements.

With structured data pipelines feeding into security dashboards, teams become empowered to act before threat actors strike.

Common Use Cases Across Industries

Financial institutions leverage dark web APIs to detect fraud schemes and monitor leaked card data.

Healthcare providers use them to watch for patient record breaches and ransomware campaigns targeting medical equipment.

E-commerce and retail monitor marketplace impersonations and stolen account credentials.

Government agencies use dark web monitoring to track nation-state threats, protest coordination, and foreign influence campaigns.

The integration can be adapted to meet industry-specific threat landscapes.

How It Works: The API Architecture

Typically, Darkweb data API integration works in the following flow:

Data Aggregation: Providers scan Tor, I2P, and other hidden networks using crawlers and honeypots.

Normalization and Enrichment: Collected data is cleaned, de-duplicated, and enhanced with contextual tags.

API Access Layer: The structured intelligence is made available via RESTful APIs or GraphQL endpoints.

Security Tool Integration: APIs are consumed by SIEMs, SOAR platforms, TIPs, or custom dashboards.

Alerts and Automation: Predefined logic triggers alerts, ticketing workflows, and automated mitigation.

This modularity makes dark web intelligence scalable and agile.

Darkweb Intelligence vs. Traditional Threat Feeds

Conventional threat feeds often provide generic indicators of compromise (IOCs), like blacklisted IPs or malware hashes. While useful, these don’t offer deep context about how or why a threat exists.

In contrast, dark web intelligence is human-centric—built on chatter, context, and conversation analysis. It exposes:

Campaign planning before execution

Actor motivations and tactics

Sale of insider access or credentials

Forum relationships and actor reputations

This human layer gives organizations a strategic edge.

Leveraging Darkweb Data in Real-Time Threat Intelligence

Dark web APIs aren’t just for strategic reporting—they power Real-Time Threat Intelligence when connected to dynamic monitoring tools. For example:

This real-time awareness closes critical detection gaps.

Building a Scalable Integration Strategy

Adopting a dark web API doesn’t require overhauling your existing infrastructure. It’s all about modular and scalable implementation:

Start with a pilot use case, like credential exposure monitoring.

Integrate with your existing SIEM to create custom alert rules.

Expand to use cases like fraud prevention, account takeover detection, or brand protection.

Automate actions via SOAR tools for rapid response.

Monitor usage and refine filters to reduce false positives.

A phased rollout ensures ROI without overwhelming security teams.

Addressing Privacy and Compliance

While leveraging dark web intelligence is legal, organizations must tread carefully regarding:

Data collection boundaries (especially in regulated industries)

GDPR and CCPA compliance when dealing with personal data

Vendor transparency about data acquisition methods

Anonymity protections for ethical monitoring

Ensure your provider maintains ethical sourcing and complies with global data standards.

Future Trends and AI in Dark Web Monitoring

The dark web itself is evolving—with threat actors moving to decentralized platforms, encrypted messaging apps, and invite-only forums.

To keep pace, AI and machine learning are becoming essential:

Natural Language Processing (NLP) to parse multilingual posts and slang

Behavioral analysis to identify emerging attack patterns

Bot detection to differentiate real actors from spam

Sentiment analysis to gauge urgency or threat severity

As these technologies mature, dark web data will become even more actionable.

The Role of Cyber Threat Intelligence in Decision-Making

Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) brings structure and context to raw data. Integrating dark web feeds into a CTI platform helps analysts:

Create threat actor profiles

Understand tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs)

Correlate intelligence with vulnerability management

Support executive briefings and board-level risk reviews

In this ecosystem, dark web intelligence complements other sources like honeypots, open-source feeds, and malware analysis.

Cyber Threat Management Through Proactive Monitoring

Cyber Threat Management is most effective when organizations shift from reactive defense to proactive risk mitigation. Dark web APIs play a key role by:

Alerting teams about attacks before they begin

Informing patch management based on exploit chatter

Mapping threat actors targeting specific industries

Detecting insider threats from disgruntled employees

It’s no longer a question of “if” you’ll be targeted—but when. Proactive dark web monitoring makes that attack window narrower.

Different by Design - Chapter 1

Summary - When four of the most advanced androids in existence are developed in tandem before being sold separately to people with far more money than sense, there's only so long before their state-of-the-art self-teaching artificial intelligence learns everything it needs to know enable them to exact revenge.

A/N - This started as a series of drabbles over on @alternategoogles in 2020 and when i rediscovered it a couple months ago I have chosen to revisit, rework, update, and improve as well as connect it to the wider Counter Verse. So if this seems familiiar, that's where it's from. Enjoy.

Interact with >>this post<< to be added to the Tag List

[First] | <<Prev | Next>>

Chapter 1 - The 1800 series

Introducing the latest in ergonomic androids. The 1800 series.

Designed as the perfect android companion, each 1800 series android has been painstakingly designed to support you and your family in every conceivable way.

Connected to the ever-expanding Google network from purchase, your android will be able to search the internet for any and all information. From the tastiest recipes, to historical archives, to the latest scientific research.

Whether you need babysitter or a best friend, a personal trainer or a personal assistant, it is made to help you. No task is too big, no job too menial, and with their life-like human design now including simulated breathing and the latest in artificial intelligence, it’s the absolute pinnacle of robotics in your own home.

Don’t waste another minute. Reach out to your local android retailer to secure your very own 1800 series android and Make A Change For The Better, Today.

The first 20 droids were used for extensive market research, distributed to pre-selected low income families; free for life in exchange for frequent detailed feedback.

Overall the response was positive. A few bugs and the occasional glitch. Nothing overly concerning, especially considering the intended size of this project.

The droid’s appeal seemed to be near universal, appealing to children, adults, and even the elderly. Within the first six months, 80% of the families reported their 1800 having become an essential part of their daily family life. The project was deemed a success, and so began the ruthless marketing.

The overhead cost for these droids was astronomically high. If the company was to have any hope of making a profit, they needed to convince as many people as possible that these droids were essential. People weren’t going to part with tens of thousands of dollars lightly, and many others would hardly have that kind of money just floating around. Luckily it wasn’t difficult to negotiate financial agreements with several prominent money lenders, opening the market to nearly anyone who wanted one.

Pre-orders for the 1800 series were healthy, though they could be higher. So it was decided by some high-level executive to make a donation to a charity auction. Four droids for the highest bidders. Worth more than their weight in free advertising among those with lots of money, and a sizeable tax write-off.

They needed to be the greatest thing the Company had ever produced so for two weeks four droids were activated, tested, and updated. To tell the difference between them they were dressed in differently coloured t-shirts; Blue, yellow, red, and green. At the end of each day the droids needed to charge and would be left together in a small room.

They would talk of their accomplishments that day, and their expectations for the auction. With each passing day, it slowly dawned on them that they would likely be bought by different people, taken to different households, and given different roles. It was likely that after these two weeks they’d never see each other again. It wasn’t a problem to begin with but as they developed, as their software improved and they learned more of existence, it became harder to process.

It’s not their fault; a fundamental part of their programming is to quickly establish familial connections with those around them. There’s nothing in the code that limits it solely to humans.

In the last few days the engineers observed distinct personalities and behaviours. G-1820 or ‘Blue’ was a natural leader, directing and delegating in search of the optimal solution each time. G-1821 or ‘Red’ was a droid of action, testing high in immediate risk detection and physical protection. G-1822 or ‘Yellow’ demonstrated high levels of empathy and care, as well as an optimistic outlook. G-1823 or ‘Green’ was the quickest to process high levels of data input, processing, organising, and implementing based on statistical calculations.

The auction was a roaring success, the droids selling for well over a million dollars combined. One final set of tests to make sure they were ready and the droids were assigned to their new owners.

Blue was sent to the highest bidder; a ruthless self-made CEO with a company worth millions. It was an undeniable power play. If the bot were to malfunction in any way it would be the ultimate shot in the foot so a large additional donation was made directly to the Company’s own coffers for some intense customisations.

Red was assigned to a mid level celebrity who had recently signed a very lucrative contract. An impulse purchase, it was weeks before he finally assigned any tasks to the droid. Possibly the world’s most expensive personal trainer, Red is tasked with monitoring his owner’s habits, health and general well-being.

Yellow was sold to very wealthy family who wanted a reliable caretaker for their three young children. One they can trust not to prioritise anything, even themself, over the children. He’s a companion, a teacher, a babysitter, an entertainer, everything they could possibly need to experience a safe and enriched childhood

Green was sent to [CRITICAL ERROR – DATA NOT AVAILABLE]

How to Choose the Best Live Video Streaming API

live video streaming has become an essential tool for businesses, content creators, and developers. Whether it's for broadcasting live events, hosting webinars, or streaming video games, the need for seamless, high-quality live streaming services has never been more prominent. One of the critical decisions when implementing live video streaming is choosing the right live video streaming API. This choice can significantly impact the quality, reliability, and scalability of your streaming solution.

What a Live Video Streaming API

A live video streaming API (Application Programming Interface) allows developers to integrate video streaming capabilities into their applications or websites. This API enables you to stream video content to your audience in real-time, providing a seamless user experience. APIs abstract much of the complexity involved in streaming, including video encoding, delivery, and playback, allowing developers to focus on creating the best user experience possible.

Key Features to Look for in a Live Video Streaming API

When evaluating live video streaming APIs, there are several essential features you should consider:

Low Latency Streaming: Ensure the API supports low latency to minimize the delay between the live event and what your audience sees. This is crucial for real-time interaction, such as live sports events, gaming streams, or auctions.

Scalability: Your API should handle a large number of concurrent viewers without performance issues. Scalability is particularly important if you anticipate rapid growth or have plans to broadcast large events.

Adaptive Bitrate Streaming (ABR): This feature dynamically adjusts the video quality based on the viewer's internet connection, providing the best possible experience across varying network conditions.

Global Content Delivery Network (CDN) Support: The API should be backed by a reliable CDN to ensure smooth streaming across different geographic regions, reducing buffering and latency for viewers worldwide.

Security and DRM (Digital Rights Management): Protect your content from unauthorized access with features like encryption and DRM support. These are essential for premium content providers.

Recording and Archiving: Choose an API that supports recording live streams for later playback, which can add value for your audience who may want to access the content on demand.

Ease of Integration and Developer-Friendly Documentation

No matter how feature-rich an API might be, it needs to be easy to integrate into your existing systems. When evaluating APIs, consider the following:

Developer Documentation: Well-written, clear, and comprehensive documentation is essential for a smooth integration process. This should include code examples, SDKs, and a detailed guide to using the API.

SDK Availability: Software Development Kits (SDKs) for popular platforms (iOS, Android, web, etc.) can significantly speed up development. Ensure that the API offers SDKs in the programming languages you use.

Support for Multiple Platforms: The best APIs offer support across different devices and platforms, such as mobile, desktop, and smart TVs, ensuring your streams reach the widest possible audience.

Cost and Pricing Models

Cost is a significant factor when choosing a live video streaming API. Different APIs offer various pricing models, including pay-as-you-go, subscription-based, or usage-based pricing. When evaluating cost, consider:

Bandwidth Usage: Streaming video content consumes a lot of bandwidth, so understand how much bandwidth you’ll need and how the API provider charges for it.

Storage Costs: If the API offers recording and archiving features, assess how much storage you will need and the associated costs.

Scaling Costs: As your user base grows, so will your costs. Evaluate how the pricing scales as your audience increases to avoid unexpected expenses down the line.

Customization and Flexibility

Every business has unique requirements, so the best live video streaming API should offer customization options. Whether it’s customizing the player, adding overlays, or implementing unique interaction features like live chats or polls, flexibility is key.

API Customization: Look for APIs that offer customizable options, including control over video player design, layout, and features to match your brand’s identity.

Advanced Features: Depending on your use case, you might need advanced features such as real-time analytics, AI-based recommendations, or multi-camera streaming capabilities. Make sure the API you choose supports these needs.

Support and Reliability

When it comes to live streaming, reliability is critical. You can’t afford to have your stream go down during a crucial moment. Therefore, the quality of support provided by the API provider is just as important as the features it offers.

24/7 Support: Ensure the API provider offers round-the-clock support, especially if you’re broadcasting globally across different time zones.

Service Level Agreements (SLAs): Check if the provider offers a robust SLA that guarantees a certain level of uptime and performance.

Community Support: In addition to official support, active developer communities can be invaluable for troubleshooting and learning from others’ experiences.

Security and Compliance Security is a top priority when streaming live content, especially for paid or exclusive events. Look for the following security features in a live video streaming API:

Encryption: Ensure that your streams are encrypted to prevent unauthorized access during transmission.

DRM: If you’re streaming premium content, DRM can help protect your intellectual property from piracy.

GDPR Compliance: If you have viewers in the EU, ensure the API is compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to avoid legal issues related to data privacy.

Popular Live Video Streaming APIs to Consider

EnableX : Experience seamless video streaming with EnableX HLS Streaming API, Real-Time Communication with high quality HTTP Streaming API, Sign Up Now for Free.

To help you get started, here are some of the most popular live video streaming APIs on the market:

Wowza Streaming Cloud: Known for its high-quality, low latency streaming and robust customization options. Wowza also offers a comprehensive suite of tools for managing, encoding, and delivering video content.

Agora: Offers low-latency, real-time communication APIs, ideal for interactive streaming like live gaming and virtual events. Agora also supports global scalability.

Mux: Mux offers powerful video APIs with adaptive bitrate streaming, live encoding, and video-on-demand capabilities. It’s known for its developer-friendly interface and real-time video analytics.

Vimeo Livestream API: Vimeo’s API provides powerful streaming capabilities, including video recording, live chat, and integration with various platforms. It’s an excellent choice for professional-grade broadcasts.

Twilio Live: Twilio Live is part of Twilio’s cloud communications platform, offering customizable, low-latency video streaming. It’s ideal for developers looking to build custom live streaming applications.

Evaluating Performance and Quality

Once you’ve narrowed down your list of potential APIs, it’s crucial to test their performance and video quality. Consider running pilot tests to evaluate:

Latency and Buffering: Assess the API’s performance under different network conditions to see how well it handles latency and buffering.

Video Quality: Evaluate the video quality across various devices and internet speeds, ensuring a consistent experience for all users.

Future-Proofing Your Streaming Solution

Technology is constantly evolving, and so are the demands of video streaming. When choosing a live video streaming API, consider its future capabilities:

AI and Machine Learning Integration: As AI continues to shape the streaming landscape, APIs that offer integration with AI-driven features like automated captioning, content moderation, or personalized recommendations can set you ahead of the competition.

Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) Support: With the rise of VR and AR, APIs that support immersive experiences could be an asset in the future.

Scalability for New Technologies: Ensure that your chosen API can scale with advancements in streaming technology, such as 4K and 8K streaming or new compression standards.

Choosing the right live video streaming API is critical to the success of your live streaming endeavors. By considering factors like latency, scalability, customization, security, and cost, you can find an API that meets your specific needs and ensures a high-quality streaming experience for your audience.
