So NFTgate has now hit tumblr - I made a thread about it on my twitter, but I'll talk a bit more about it here as well in slightly more detail. It'll be a long one, sorry! Using my degree for something here. This is not intended to sway you in one way or the other - merely to inform so you can make your own decision and so that you aware of this because it will happen again, with many other artists you know.

Let's start at the basics: NFT stands for 'non fungible token', which you should read as 'passcode you can't replicate'. These codes are stored in blocks in what is essentially a huge ledger of records, all chained together - a blockchain. Blockchain is encoded in such a way that you can't edit one block without editing the whole chain, meaning that when the data is validated it comes back 'negative' if it has been tampered with. This makes it a really, really safe method of storing data, and managing access to said data. For example, verifying that a bank account belongs to the person that says that is their bank account.

For most people, the association with NFT's is bitcoin and Bored Ape, and that's honestly fair. The way that used to work - and why it was such a scam - is that you essentially purchased a receipt that said you owned digital space - not the digital space itself. That receipt was the NFT. So, in reality, you did not own any goods, that receipt had no legal grounds, and its value was completely made up and not based on anything. On top of that, these NFTs were purchased almost exclusively with cryptocurrency which at the time used a verifiation method called proof of work, which is terrible for the environment because it requires insane amounts of electricity and computing power to verify. The carbon footprint for NFTs and coins at this time was absolutely insane.

In short, Bored Apes were just a huge tech fad with the intention to make a huge profit regardless of the cost, which resulted in the large market crash late last year. NFTs in this form are without value.

However, NFTs are just tech by itself more than they are some company that uses them. NFTs do have real-life, useful applications, particularly in data storage and verification. Research is being done to see if we can use blockchain to safely store patient data, or use it for bank wire transfers of extremely large amounts. That's cool stuff!

So what exactly is Käärijä doing? Kä is not selling NFTs in the traditional way you might have become familiar with. In this use-case, the NFT is in essence a software key that gives you access to a digital space. For the raffle, the NFT was basically your ticket number. This is a very secure way of doing so, assuring individuality, but also that no one can replicate that code and win through a false method. You are paying for a legimate product - the NFT is your access to that product.

What about the environmental impact in this case? We've thankfully made leaps and bounds in advancing the tech to reduce the carbon footprint as well as general mitigations to avoid expanding it over time. One big thing is shifting from proof of work verification to proof of space or proof of stake verifications, both of which require much less power in order to work. It seems that Kollekt is partnered with Polygon, a company that offers blockchain technology with the intention to become climate positive as soon as possible. Numbers on their site are very promising, they appear to be using proof of stake verification, and all-around appear more interested in the tech than the profits it could offer.

But most importantly: Kollekt does not allow for purchases made with cryptocurrency, and that is the real pisser from an environmental perspective. Cryptocurrency purchases require the most active verification across systems in order to go through - this is what bitcoin mining is, essentially. The fact that this website does not use it means good things in terms of carbon footprint.

But why not use something like Patreon? I can't tell you. My guess is that Patreon is a monthly recurring service and they wanted something one-time. Kollekt is based in Helsinki, and word is that Mikke (who is running this) is friends with folks on the team. These are all contributing factors, I would assume, but that's entirely an assumption and you can't take for fact.

Is this a good thing/bad thing? That I also can't tell you - you have to decide that for yourself. It's not a scam, it's not crypto, just a service that sits on the blockchain. But it does have higher carbon output than a lot of other services do, and its exact nature is not publicly disclosed. This isn't intended to sway you to say one or the other, but merely to give you the proper understanding of what NFTs are as a whole and what they are in this particular case so you can make that decision for yourself.

I am only a teenager but I really want to write novel turned into a musical called - "Titanomachy"

Well, I have fantastic news for you @kylianriley you can start writing your dream project at any age! Chances are very high you won't be a teenager when you finish writing the novel! But, genuinely, my advice - if you're in the market for such a thing - is to earnestly start if it's something you truly want to do. Give yourself time to research, give yourself time to change your plans around, give yourself time to be interested in the topics you want to explore and to really soak in what you want to portray and how. When it comes to myth-based media, it's really good to remember that this is someone's culture, that these figures are encoded with meaning and that part of telling their stories is adapting that meaning!

Good luck with writing man! Enjoy the process and learn lots of new things! There's always people waiting for good stories to be told <3

hi. robotics question: i want an electric motor that receives input to control its force, and outputs its position. im kinda confused with different kinds of motors. controlling force is easy, right?

in terms of scale, im talking about an arduino prototype so pretty small but im fine if the motor is big enough to have its own power cable.

yeah im a programmer i dont know much about hardware :p

someone please fix me if i'm wrong, FRC uses a pretty self-contained ecosystem so I actually have no prior knowledge to answer this lol

but! based on some research, it sounds like torque control in a DC motor can be achieved by limiting the current to the motor (versus speed control, by setting voltage).[1][2] look for brushed DC motors with built-in encoders, that's the part that will tell you the motor's position. encoders can be absolute (tells you where the rotor is wrt some fixed "zero" position, consistent across power cycles) or relative/incremental (just tells you how far you've gone since you started/that you've taken a step). i'm not sure what kind of circuitry you might need to handle the current control, although looking for something marketed for arduino makes sense as a first step.[3]

there are also AC motors, brushless DC (BLDC) motors, and stepper motors, and they all have more complex control schemes that I know next to nothing about!

Men In Black: Fifteen hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow. Men in Black is a sci-fi comedy, starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, which would go on to spawn a franchise after the success of the 1997 film. It centers around a secret government agency known as the Men in Black, tasked with monitoring and regulating extraterrestrial activity on Earth; these agents, notably our protagonists Agent J and Agent K, protect humanity from aliens living among us and ensure the world remains oblivious to their existence. The franchise was praised by critics and audiences alike for its unique screenplay, action sequences, and the humor and chemistry of the lead actors. Over the years, Men in Black has expanded to include multiple sequels, an animated series and spin-offs, all contributing to its enduring popularity as a cheekier take on the sci-fi genre.

The MP3 is Leaked: It took a decade to develop the MPEG Audio Layer III– or the MP3– while maintaining the fidelity to make it commercially viable. It took a college student a single night to bring the music industry to its knees forever after. Karlheinz Brandenburg, who worked at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits in Germany (pictured) would emerge as the “Father of the MP3” in the 90s. The development of the file codex and software, alongside the developments of competitors and the early marketing of the MP3 is well worth independent research, but ultimately background noise to this entry. Mid-1997, in an international clusterfuck facilitated by the popular internet Warez community, an Australian student used a stolen credit card from Taiwan to purchase professional-grade encoding software from Germany. He successfully cracked the software, proceeded to upload it onto a server in Sweden, and initiated distribution to multiple U.S. universities through an FTP site; within it, there was a read-me file that labeled the program as freeware, with a "special thanks" given to Fraunhofer. Brandenberg would do everything he possibly could to warn his colleagues and label executives, but the toothpaste could never be put back into the tube. You know the rest: Napster, Kazaa, Limewire and numerous others would come to follow. The RIAA would engage in endless lawsuits, as would several big names in music, but the industry would never recover from the change in public perception of/capacity for piracy the stolen MP3 ushered in.

A major new work, weaving together historical anecdote and the author’s family history, laments the slow erasure of centuries of linguistic, ethnic and cultural diversity in an increasingly homogenised region.

In Goodbye, Eastern Europe,  a major new work “chronicling a thousand years of strife, war, and bloodshed” from Vienna to the 14 time zones of the Russian Empire, Jacob Mikanowski weaves a rich and amusing tapestry of historical anecdote (and personal family history). His aim is to explode conceptions of Eastern Europe as a grey, featureless bloc – but also to suggest that millennia of tolerance, cosmopolitanism and cultural, linguistic and ethnic variety are slowly being erased. While his epilogue links this diagnosis to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Mikanowski’s thesis has perhaps even greater relevance to the Western Balkans.

His historical vignettes are delightful – thieves in the finicky Austro-Hungarian Empire handed four-hour sentences for stealing an onion, elderly Romanian communists leaving Kent Cigarettes on graves to pay black-market bribes in the afterlife – but also serve a larger purpose. This tissue of anecdote is the perfect way for Mikanowski to demonstrate Eastern Europe’s “defining characteristic is diversity”. Each page revealing another “little island of heterodoxy”, down to the ultra-fine level where each village has its minority and each minority its particularities, as in the exhaustive account of a Ukrainian settlement where even the cabinetmakers had their own culture: “As Filippians and Old Believers, they spoke Russian, but with a Novogorod accent.”

To Mikanowski, the phrase “Eastern Europe” is an “outsider’s convenience”, a lump term of little practical application to locals. His argument here recalls Maria Todorova’s “Imagining the Balkans”, which powerfully demonstrates the negative, politically-loaded role of the term “Balkans” – as implied by the always-pejorative neologism “Balkanisation” – applied by outside observers and commentators to a shifting set of states and territories while many of those states try to escape the charge.

As with, for example, Romanian writers claiming a Latin identity to evade the “Balkan” label, Mikanowski notes that particularly in the post-Communist era, many Eastern European countries prefer to consider themselves in “Central Europe”, the “Nordic Community”, and so on, thus distancing themselves from the Eastern Bloc. The Balkans are, perhaps, another such an exception, but with the difference that the term is applied from the outside. Rather than a breakaway clinging to Mitteleuropa (Hungary) or Russia (Belarus), they’re isolated and abandoned – the last island of Eastern Europe.

Mikanowski does sketch the deep diversity and (sometimes uneasy) tolerance which has long characterised the Western Balkans – as well as pointing to the mushrooming of latter-day nationalism and ethnic homogenisation. For example, he takes a fascinating trip to Moschopolis in Albania, the “city of the shepherds”, which was for centuries the heart of the little-studied Vlach culture, but whose Christian churches are now largely shuttered.

Overall, the book has less to say about the Western Balkans than other regions. States are covered in the expected proportions, with Poland mentioned around 230 times, but Bulgaria 50 times and Serbia 40, with Montenegro and Kosovo only just reaching 10. This reflects Mikanowski’s Polish-Jewish origins, personal research interests and certain geopolitical realities, but also suggests the extent to which the Balkans represent Eastern Europe’s own East, encoding the same values for other Eastern Europeans as Eastern Europe itself does to the West.

Nonetheless, his arguments can provide a key for understanding the region, for example when claiming polities like the Poland-Lithuanian Commonwealth (represented here as the avatar of its contemporary, fledgling US) and the Ottoman Empire were not “nuclear winters” for culture. Rather, they “tended to accentuate difference rather than suppress it”, in the latter case particularly by fostering the “largest and oldest concentration of Muslims on the European continent”, whose contributions are often overlooked when set against Umayyad Andalusia. As with Christopher Clark’s recent effort to rehabilitate the much-maligned Austro-Hungarian Empire, to Mikanowski there is much to commend these vast and unwieldy institutions, which discriminated against minorities while simultaneously allowing for unprecedented religious toleration on the basis of recognized differences.

With these arguments, Mikanowski aims to push back against simplistic, atavistic nationalisms which have defined the post-Communist era – as when he derides the phalanxes of nationalistic statuary in Skopje, or critiques post-ideological, third-way museums in Hungary for implying communism was “just as bad” as Nazi fascism, in a charge equally applicable to contemporary nationalist ideologues in the Western Balkans. At the same time, he cautions, it’s “easy to fall into nostalgia” when discussing Eastern Europe’s pre-World War 1 diversity. Most cities were not “melting pots”, but characterized by mutually suspicious, if tolerant, communities – as in Albania’s Elbasan, once partitioned in sharply-defined concentric circles of Christian Albanians, Muslim Albanians and Christian Vlachs.

Mikanowski’s anecdotal style is less suitable for identifying other meta-historical trends or making political claims. As with the genealogy craze, everyone finds their own great-grandfather’s story fascinating – but what can this tell us about the course of history?

In such a grand narrative, something is always downplayed, and Mikanowski’s focus is on the personal and local. Understandably, the writer is more concerned with tracing the miserable fate of intellectuals under Stalinist communism than any deep-searching assessment of Communist political economy. He has sympathy for Hungarian “Goulash communism” and respect for Tito’s Yugoslavia as the sole anti-Stalinist “exception” and bane of Stalin’s life but doesn’t delve into how it was that Tito could by and large preserve inter-ethnic diversity and solidarity, instead somewhat simplistically presenting the Yugoslav project as an “act of mutual forgetting”.

Rather, the full impact of Mikanowski’s string of personal anecdotes is revealed when he turns to his family’s experiences in the Holocaust. Pushing back against representations of the slaughter of six million Jews as solely an “impersonal, mechanized process”, marked by German efficiency, Mikanowski argues that in Eastern Europe, “the Holocaust was an intimate slaughter”, as neighbour turned on neighbour in an exhaustive, hand-to-hand massacre. Thus, the author, in the book’s most profoundly affecting passage, can trace his great aunt Rosa’s scream as she was executed in the Warsaw ghetto via a secret milk-can archive, preserving the memory of her murder to the present day, where it “haunts” him yet.

Long-term persecution of the Jews and Roma notwithstanding, cataclysmic 20th-century violence was in part so horrific precisely because minorities had lived cheek-by-jowl with their persecutors for so long, in what Mikanowski calls a “ramshackle utopia”, weathering prejudice and the rise and fall of empires.

Mikanowski’s warning over the dangers of homogenisation and decline of this long-standing cosmopolitanism is particularly germane to the Balkans – all the more so in the neo-liberal free-for-all which followed the Socialist collapse. The Jews are gone, the Islamic presence is much diminished, and regional capitals are an increasingly indistinguishable blur of co-working spaces and Starbucks, masking empty rural hinterlands left to the impoverished, the elderly and the ghosts. But so too is his celebration of a “constellation of parochialism… bigger than the sum of its parts”, traces of which still endure in those same hinterlands, despite all efforts to eradicate it.

NVIDIA RTX 5090: The Next Leap in GPU Performance and AI Acceleration

The tech world is buzzing with anticipation as NVIDIA prepares to launch its next-generation graphics card: the RTX 5090. As part of the upcoming RTX 50-series lineup, this GPU is expected to redefine performance standards in gaming, content creation, and AI workloads. Here's everything we know so far—and what you can expect from the RTX 5090.

A New Generation of Power

The RTX 5090 is rumored to be based on NVIDIA’s cutting-edge Blackwell architecture, a significant evolution from the Ada Lovelace GPUs that power the current RTX 40-series. Early leaks and expert speculation suggest a dramatic increase in core count, memory bandwidth, and power efficiency.

Key anticipated specs include:

Up to 50% performance gain over the RTX 4090

A possible 512-bit memory bus with 32 GB of GDDR7 memory

Enhanced ray tracing and DLSS capabilities

Improved support for AI and machine learning workloads

If these specs hold true, the RTX 5090 could become the most powerful consumer GPU ever released.

AI and Content Creation at the Forefront

Beyond gaming, the RTX 5090 is expected to offer significant improvements in AI performance. With dedicated hardware for Tensor cores and AI acceleration, it will likely appeal to developers, researchers, and content creators working with generative AI tools, 3D rendering, video editing, and high-resolution streaming.

The inclusion of next-gen NVENC/NVDEC encoders could make the RTX 5090 an ideal choice for professional streamers and media production environments.

Gaming in 8K and Beyond

For gamers, the RTX 5090 may finally make native 8K gaming a reality—or at least more practical. With substantial increases in both raw performance and smart upscaling technologies like DLSS 4.0, the new flagship GPU should easily handle 4K at high frame rates with ray tracing enabled.

Pricing and Release Expectations

As of now, NVIDIA hasn’t officially announced the release date or price of the RTX 5090, but industry insiders expect a late 2025 launch, with pricing likely to exceed the $1,599 launch price of the RTX 4090. Given the leap in specs, the premium price would not be surprising, though availability and competition from AMD will play a crucial role in market dynamics.

Final Thoughts

The NVIDIA RTX 5090 represents more than just a generational upgrade—it could mark a turning point in how GPUs handle both graphical and AI workloads. While final specifications and benchmarks are yet to be confirmed, the expectations are sky-high. Whether you're a hardcore gamer, a 3D artist, or an AI enthusiast, the RTX 5090 is shaping up to be a game-changer.

Chipless RFID Market Research Report, Demand and Future Trends Till 2037

The chipless RFID market is on a rapid expansion trajectory. By the close of the forecast period in 2037, global revenues are projected to reach approximately USD 12.7 billion, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.8% from 2025 through 2037. This strong upward curve is underpinned by escalating adoption across diverse end-use sectors, economies of scale in tag production, and ongoing breakthroughs in printing-based identification technologies.

While exact figures for the 2025 baseline vary by source, most industry estimates place the market at just over USD 2.5 billion in that year, implying a near five-fold increase over the dozen-year span.

Chipless RFID Industry Demand

Chipless RFID refers to radio-frequency identification systems that encode data directly into the physical geometry or dielectric properties of inexpensive, printed substrates—eliminating the need for silicon chips. These tags can be mass-produced via roll-to-roll printing or laser-etching on plastics and papers, and are read by specialized readers that detect variations in backscatter or resonance patterns.

Cost-Effectiveness: Without the cost of a silicon IC, chipless tags can be manufactured for mere fractions of a cent apiece, making them ideal for low-margin items and disposable applications.

Ease of Administration: The simple physical encoding allows straightforward bulk production and integration into existing packaging or documents without altering form-factors.

Long Shelf Life and Durability: Chipless tags lack moving parts or sensitive semiconductors, granting them exceptional stability in harsh environments, over long storage periods, and across a wide temperature range.

Sustainability Angle: Many chipless substrates are based on recyclable or bio-derived materials, aligning with growing regulatory and corporate sustainability mandates.

Chipless RFID Market: Growth Drivers & Key Restraint

Growth Drivers –

Advances in Printable Electronics: Continued improvements in conductive inks, laser-etch technologies, and high-resolution printing have expanded the data capacity and read reliability of chipless tags, opening new use cases beyond basic inventory tracking.

Surge in Asset Tracking & Serialization Needs: Industries such as pharmaceuticals (driven by stringent anti-counterfeiting regulations and the prevalence of chronic diseases requiring precise drug supply-chain oversight) and fresh perishables logistics increasingly demand granular, tamper-proof item-level monitoring—a sweet spot for ultra-low-cost, disposable tags.

Outsourcing & Contract Manufacturing Trends: As more original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and consumer-packaged goods companies shift production to third-party contractors in emerging economies, the need for standardized, easy-to-apply chipless labels has skyrocketed, simplifying quality control across geographically dispersed facilities.

Restraint –

Limited Read Range & Data Density Compared to Chipped RFID: Despite rapid progress, chipless RFID currently offers shorter read distances (often under 1 meter) and lower payload capacities than traditional silicon-based tags, which can hinder adoption in applications demanding long-range or high-security data exchange.

Chipless RFID Market: Segment Analysis

Segment Analysis by Product Type (Tags, Readers:) –

Tags: Accounting for the majority of units shipped, printed chipless tags see robust demand due to their minimal unit cost, ease of integration into packaging lines, and disposability. Volumes are highest in sectors requiring item-level serialization—particularly pharmaceuticals and fast-moving consumer goods—while maturity in printing processes continues to drive down per-tag expenses.

Readers: The reader market, though smaller in unit count, has experienced steady growth as enterprises deploy fixed and handheld scanners tailored for chipless frequencies. Investment in multi-mode readers (capable of handling both chipless and chipped RFID) is a notable trend, enhancing flexibility but adding to device complexity and cost.

Segment Analysis by Application (Smart Cards, Smart Tickets)–

Smart Cards: Chipless solutions in secure credentialing leverage custom resonance patterns to store small payloads (e.g., authentication tokens), appealing where near-field reads suffice and chip-based cards are deemed excessive. Adoption is nascent but growing in campus access, event accreditation, and limited-run loyalty programs.

Smart Tickets: For transport and venue control, single-use chipless tickets allow for instant distribution and sustainable disposal, while delivering reliable near-field reads at turnstile access points. Pilot programs in metropolitan metro systems and large-scale festivals are validating the value proposition.

Segment Analysis by End‑User –

Retail: Item-level tagging for loss prevention, streamlined checkout, and demand forecasting constitutes the largest application slice, especially in apparel and small electronics.

Healthcare: From surgical kit tracking to specimen monitoring and pharmaceutical authentication, healthcare providers prize chipless RFID for sterile-environment compatibility and waste reduction.

Logistics & Transportation: Pallet and package routing in last-mile delivery leverages chipless labels to reduce per-unit tagging costs, particularly for low-value parcels.

BFSI (Banking, Financial Services & Insurance): The segment is experimenting with chipless-based access credentials and paper-based document tracking—still an emerging frontier but one likely to benefit from enhanced anti-fraud measures.

Chipless RFID Market: Regional Insights

North America: The United States is spearheading reader installations and pilot rollouts market thrives on substantial backing from major retail chains and pharmaceutical corporations. Regulatory encouragement around anti-counterfeit measures (e.g., FDA’s DSCSA) further accelerates uptake. Canada’s focus on cold-chain visibility in food and vaccine distribution also fuels growth.

Europe: Stringent environmental directives (e.g., EU Packaging Waste Regulation) and robust recycling targets position chipless tags—often recyclable with primary packaging—favorably.

The Truth About Buying Cloned Cards Online – Cybersecurity Risks & Realities

In the age of digital transactions and online marketplaces, discussions around financial fraud have become more common—and one of the trending phrases making rounds is "buy cloned cards online." Whether out of curiosity, criminal intent, or research purposes, people are increasingly searching for this term. But what does it actually mean? What are cloned cards? Is it legal? And what risks are involved?

In this article, we’ll uncover everything about the dark web economy of cloned cards, explore the cybersecurity implications, and explain why engaging with these markets could lead to severe consequences.

💳 What Are Cloned Cards?

Cloned cards refer to counterfeit credit or debit cards created using stolen card data. This process usually involves copying the magnetic strip or chip information from a real card and encoding it onto a fake one. Cybercriminals can obtain this data through methods like:

Skimming devices at ATMs or gas stations

Phishing attacks

Data breaches

Dark web purchases of card dumps

Once they have the card data, they use specialized machines to “clone” or duplicate the cards. These fake cards can then be used for fraudulent purchases until the legitimate owner notices and reports the activity.

🛒 The Appeal of Buying Cloned Cards Online

People searching for “buy cloned cards online” may be lured by promises such as:

Access to cards with high balances

“Untraceable” cards for online or in-store shopping

Quick profits with minimal effort

Supposed anonymity on the dark web

These promises often come from shady websites or dark web forums that claim to sell cloned cards or offer “carding” services. Most of these platforms only accept cryptocurrency like Bitcoin or Monero to maintain anonymity and avoid tracking by law enforcement.

But the reality behind these transactions is far more complicated—and risky.

🚨 Legal & Criminal Risks

Buying cloned cards is illegal in virtually every country. It falls under fraud, identity theft, and financial crime. Here are some of the legal consequences:

Fines and imprisonment (in some countries up to 10–20 years)

Seizure of assets

Criminal records

Involvement in broader criminal investigations

Even browsing these sites or attempting to make a purchase can land you in hot water, as many forums are monitored by law enforcement and cybersecurity agencies.

🎭 Scams and Fake Vendors

Another reason not to engage with the dark market is the sheer number of scams. Common tactics include:

Vendors vanishing after payment

Low-quality or non-working cards

Fake “customer support” extracting more money

Malware hidden in download links

There’s no accountability or refund when you're dealing in an illegal marketplace. You're just as likely to become a victim of fraud as the people whose cards are cloned.

🛡️ Cybersecurity Implications

If you're not actively participating in carding, but you're just researching it, the threat still looms. Many sites offering cloned cards are laced with malware, spyware, or ransomware. Visiting them can expose your personal data, banking info, or even give hackers remote access to your device.

Also, if your own credit or debit card has been compromised, it may be one of the thousands of card dumps circulating online. In that case:

Immediately contact your bank

Freeze or cancel your card

Monitor your account for suspicious activity

Report the breach to authorities

🌐 The Role of the Dark Web

The dark web is the primary marketplace for buying and selling cloned cards. Hidden behind layers of encryption and anonymity software like Tor, it houses marketplaces with user reviews, seller ratings, and even escrow systems—mimicking legitimate e-commerce.

However, these environments are unstable. Law enforcement agencies regularly infiltrate and shut down such platforms, leading to mass arrests and data leaks that can expose both buyers and sellers.

🔐 How to Protect Yourself from Card Cloning

Even if you’re not trying to buy cloned cards, knowing how to protect your financial information is essential:

Use cards with EMV chips – harder to clone than magnetic strip cards.

Enable transaction alerts – real-time notifications help detect fraud quickly.

Avoid public Wi-Fi when entering card details.

Use strong, unique passwords for online banking and e-commerce.

Monitor bank statements regularly.

Use virtual cards or masked card services for online purchases.

🤔 Final Thoughts: Curiosity Can Be Dangerous

While the search term "buy cloned cards online" might be trending, engaging with this market is not only illegal but also incredibly risky—ethically, legally, and financially. Most people are better served by understanding how these underground economies work so they can protect themselves, not participate in them.

If you’re researching for awareness or cybersecurity purposes, you’re on the right track. But if you’re considering stepping into this world, it’s important to know that the dangers far outweigh any potential benefit.

Biometric Optical Technology Retina Biometric Technology Applications This work reviews the "retina biometric technological application' in relation to the practical use of this application as well as the drawbacks, failures and successes that have been experienced with this technological security application. Biometric technology has been called the most precise biometric technology available today. This technology is under deployment at many airports across the globe to tighten security screening of airline employees and passengers. The product was patented in 18987 by Leonard Flom and Aran Safir for recognizing that the human irises have features that are unique to the point that the positive and accurate identification of individuals is possible and viable. In 1994 another patent was awarded to Dr. John Daugman who developed mathematical algorithms enabling image of the iris to be encoded and sorted digitally and then made the image compared to an iris image in real-time. This work explores the specifics of this application in the mapping of the iris for biometric recognition. Retina Biometric Technology Applications Objective The objective of this work is to research and examine an application that uses retina biometric technology in security scanning and to detail the specific functions in this application. I. Introduction In the high-tech world of today security systems are all prevalent in both the public eye but as well in the view of the individual who seeks to protect their property and their family. The equipment utilized is stated to be "electronic. Optical and acoustic security, detection, monitoring and surveillance systems" (Market Research Report, Business Communications Co. 2002) Further all of this technological advances in security are used for the purpose of protecting" persons, organizations and companies, commercial and social operations, civil and military installations both at national and international levels.... "the personalized security systems of a home to large-scale systems for the protection of crucial national installations." Inclusive in these systems are closed-circuit television cameras which comprise the omnipresent all-seeing eyes throughout the cities and in railway and subway stations. The constant recording and transmission of these hidden cameras informs law enforcement and security personnel of any impending threats. Biometric Identification Technology Systems Retina recognition and retinal pattern recognition has been used for many years. However the high costs of this type of Biometric identification resulted in the product being removed from the market. Recently the emergence of biometric technology systems has witnessed a climb in use rates for the purpose of identification all across the globe. Iris or Retinal scanning is done through high-resolution imaging using infrared and a specialized camera. The VRD or 'Virtual Retinal Display" through use of both horizontal and vertical scanning technology in the function of inputting small slices of picture superimposed on the retina in the scanning identification process. Biometric technology has been called the most precise biometric technology available today. This technology is under deployment at many airports across the globe to tighten security screening of airline employees and passengers. The product was patented in 1987 by Leonard Flom and Aran Safir for recognizing that the human irises have features that are unique to the point that the positive and accurate identification of individuals is possible and viable. In 1994 another patent was awarded to Dr. John Daugman who developed mathematical algorithms enabling image of the iris to be encoded and sorted digitally and then made the image compared to an iris image in real-time. II. Biometric Technology - Superior to Other Applications In the work entitled "Physical Security in Mission Critical Facilities" the author, Suzanne Niles, relates the fact that in methods of making identification of people fall into three primary categories "of increasing reliability - and increasing equipment costs: 1) What you have 2) What you know; and 3) Who you are. Niles states that the most reliable method of identification is "Who you are" which "refers to identification by recognition of unique physical characteristics." III. Two Existing Failures in Biometric Recognition There are two failures that exist in the application of Biometric Recognition. Those two failures are: 1) False rejection in which the system fails to recognize the individual who is legitimately a user creating great frustration for users denied access because of system failure in recognition of them. 2) False acceptance which is through confusion of one user and another or the acceptance of an invalid individual as being a user that is legitimate. Although the rate of failure is easily adjusted through modifying the threshold through decreasing the rate of failure on the end of rejection or acceptance the increase of failure on the other end of the spectrum increases In the act of choosing equipment with biometric functions the considerations are stated to be: 1) Equipment cost and 2) Failure Rates. Drawbacks to consumer embrasure of the retinal scanners are due to the requirement of the eye to be one to two inches away from the scanner while an LED is focused directly into the individual's eye. IV. Specifics of the Biometric Technology Application This type of technology is an application that through locating the iris with a monochrome camera approximately three feet from the eye. The narrowing of the algorithm moves from the right and left of the iris and then makes location of the outside edge while at the same time locating the pupil and the eye's inner edge. Visible and infrared light are used by the camera and the algorithm upon locating the iris utilized 20-D Gabor wavelets in a filtering and mapping function of the iris breaking it down into many separate phasors/vectors. Values are assigned by the wavelets relating to the spatial frequency and orientation of those areas selected. The portion of the iris used is technologically converted into values of 512-byte IrisCode template. The iris has identification in 266 unique spots which serves as a template for live-scan images of iris comparisons. One example of a product using this type of biometric capability is that of the Optical Biometric Reader with a template capacity of 720. Identification is through a one-to-many matching operation in which the captured image is compared to all images stored in the system until a match is located. False acceptance rates based on security settings of medium are sated to be 0.001% while false rejection rates are stated at 0.1%. There are nine security levels ranging from low to very high with acceptance rates depending on the level of security in use. Concerns of Optical Biometric Technology Both infrared and visible light is used in retinal scanning. The visible light is not overly bright and everyone does not experience the spots in the eyes after the scanning that some report. The application has been deemed through testing to be safe in its' use. Summary and Conclusion While there are those that feel retina scanning is too intrusive there are others that consider the small inconvenience well worth the security provided by the retinal scanning biometric technology applications in the realm of security assurance. There are also those who feel that this type of application could result in company abuse of the information relating to employees due to the fact that "while Iridians algorithms are only used for identification and verification, modifications could theoretically be made that would analyze the iris for disease, alcoholism, drug abuse and even a predisposition toward certain kinds of diseases." This fact alone leads to the conclusion that much legislation is certain in the future for the regulation of the optical biometric scanning application's use.

Generative AI Models: A Comprehensive

Artificial intelligence has long been associated with tasks like analysis and prediction. But a fascinating new branch, Generative AI, is breaking those boundaries, showcasing an impressive ability to create original content. From crafting photorealistic images and captivating videos to composing compelling text and even generating functional code, generative AI is rapidly changing how we interact with technology and pushing the limits of creativity.

What are Generative AI Models?

At their core, Generative AI models are a type of artificial intelligence designed to produce new, plausible data instances that resemble their training data. Unlike discriminative models that learn to distinguish between different categories (e.g., classifying an email as spam or not spam), generative models learn the underlying probability distribution of the input data. Once trained, they can sample from this distribution to create novel data points that share characteristics with the original data.

Think of it as teaching an AI to understand the rules of a particular domain, like language or image composition. Once it grasps these rules, it can then generate new examples within that domain, even if it hasn't seen those exact examples before.

Key Architectures Powering Generative AI:

Several groundbreaking architectures have fueled the advancement of generative AI:

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs): Introduced in 2014, GANs involve a clever interplay between two neural networks: a generator that creates new data samples and a discriminator that tries to distinguish between real 1 data and the generator's output. This adversarial process forces the generator to produce increasingly realistic and convincing results. GANs are widely used for image and video generation, as well as synthetic data creation.  

Variational Autoencoders (VAEs): VAEs take a different approach by learning a compressed representation (latent space) of the input data. They consist of an encoder that maps the input to this latent space and a decoder that reconstructs the data from the latent representation. By sampling from the latent space, VAEs can generate new data points that are similar to the training data. VAEs are often used for image generation, anomaly detection, and data compression.

Large Language Models (LLMs): These powerful deep learning models, such as GPT-3, BERT, and their successors, are trained on massive amounts of text data. They learn the intricate relationships between words and can generate coherent, contextually relevant text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content (poems, code, scripts), and even engage in conversations. Their ability to understand and generate human-like text has revolutionized natural language processing.

Diffusion Models: A more recent and increasingly popular architecture, diffusion models work by gradually adding noise to the training data until it becomes pure noise. The model then learns to reverse this process, starting from noise and iteratively refining it to generate new data samples. Diffusion models have achieved state-of-the-art results in image generation, often surpassing GANs in terms of quality and diversity.

The Expanding Applications of Generative AI:

Generative AI is no longer confined to research labs; it's rapidly finding applications across diverse industries:

Creative Arts: Generating unique artwork, designing logos and graphics, composing music, and even writing screenplays.

Content Creation: Assisting in writing articles, generating marketing copy, and creating social media content.

Entertainment: Developing realistic characters and environments for video games and movies, creating special effects, and generating personalized content.

Drug Discovery and Materials Science: Simulating molecular structures and designing new materials with desired properties.

Fashion and Product Design: Generating new design concepts and variations.

Software Development: Assisting in code generation and debugging.

Education and Training: Creating personalized learning materials and generating realistic training scenarios.

Navigating the Ethical Landscape and Challenges:

The power of generative AI comes with significant ethical considerations and challenges:

Bias and Fairness: Generative models can inherit and even amplify biases present in their training data, leading to unfair or discriminatory outputs.

Misinformation and Deepfakes: The ability to generate realistic images, videos, and audio raises serious concerns about the creation and spread of misinformation and harmful deepfakes.

Intellectual Property Rights: The question of who owns the copyright to AI-generated content is a complex and evolving legal issue.

Job Displacement: As AI can automate certain creative tasks, there are concerns about its potential impact on employment in some industries.

Responsible Development and Deployment: Ensuring that generative AI is developed and used ethically and responsibly is crucial to mitigate potential risks.
