Smell something? There’s an app for that too. Lyle, Al, and Miles discuss “AudioShopping,” the front lines of global cybersecurity, the effects of ubiquitous automation on our society, and more in this episode.
Adobe is working on a new piece of software that would act like a Photoshop for audio, according to Adobe developer Zeyu Jin, who spoke at the Adobe MAX conference in San Diego, California today. The software is codenamed Project VoCo, and it’ s not clear at this time when it will materialize as a commercial product. The standout feature, however, is the ability to add words not originally found in the audio file.
According to Krebs:
It’s been a remarkable week for cyber justice. On Thursday, a Ukrainian man who hatched a plan in 2013 to send heroin to my home and then call the cops when the drugs arrived was sentenced to 41 months in prison for unrelated cybercrime charges. Separately, a 19-year-old American who admitted to being part of a hacker group that sent a heavily-armed police force to my home in 2013 was sentenced to three years probation.

This Pocket-Sized Device Connects to Your Phone to Let You Know When You Stink
Charles Henderson sold his car several years ago, but he still knows exactly where it is, and can control it from his phone.
from listener Pascal:
Hi geeks,
First of all great show, waiting for it every week to then annoy my roommates with it and tell them about some stuff.
I wanted to throw in a topic request. Twitter changed its algorithms to favor Humans, verified accounts etc. they don’t put those at first places that answered first (often bots) but those that matter. Like a NYT reporter for example
Unfortunately I did not find an English article right away it was only written in the German newspaper “FAZ”, our version of the NYT.
Here is the German one, maybe the new translate AI can help ;).
Just go to twitter and watch the first responses shown to trump now. They are always anti, left or questioning and not, like previously often, sounding like worshipments.
Again thanks for the show and keep it up.
Cheers, Pascal
P.S. put a “don’t listen to while driving” tag on your cast. My girlfriend and I almost crashed because we laughed so hard about you trying to figure out if it’s duck or duct tape :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
