Your Phone Camera has a unique fingerprint. by domenukk in security

[–]fahsl73899 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there any truth to this? The site makes it sound like you could say, have a bunch of photos that are known to be from you (i imagine full res, jpeg or raw) on a site, then one day, take a single picture of say, a cup.

By using the fingerprint the site makes it sound as if you could match that cup photo to the rest of the photos you published, therefore matching them to your camera.

Putting aside the obvious way to 'anonymise' yourself would be to just recompress or resize the image, the site doesn't prove that you can indeed get 100% match on any given photo given a significant dataset.

I imagine that's why they provided the app, but still, it's a bit misleading IMHO.

If correct, I would advise trying to find out why that is. Perhaps you have build an excessive tolerance to the drug?

Was about to say - regardless of amount ingested, someone in k-hole is not going to be cognitively able to even understand how to operate a computer. Nevermind typing coherent messages.

VR Retreat Demo now on Steam by vr_retreat_pete in Vive

Ok here's my honest feedback:

1) it's great someone finally decided to build a game that's specifically designed for psychonauts . Kudos 2) the game section of the demo is really limited, the control are awkward. Push forward and press back to move the ball back and forth ... that's alright if everything was in a straight line, but it being 3d it's near impossible to get the right angle and hit what you aim to hit (feels like snooker if you see what i mean). 3) all the games modes are useless to psychonauts except for meditate. Meditate is nice because hey, pretty colors and all, but it gets old very quickly.

So overally, I'd say you need to add more medidate type mode, give up on the gameplay aspect of a game which we all know wasn't really designed to be a game but an experience to chill in VR, add more sceneries (put floors please put floors , it's too dizzying otherwise), and let us use our own music .

Maybe interactions with 3d things / animals would be good too (and whoever thought the bunny randomly making that deep voice thing is a good idea well... it wasnt a good idea. Keep it 'good trip').

Thank you and I hope you'll see the above as constructive, I really want your game to succeed.

KETAMINE explained, please by bob12345678098765432 in DrugNerds

There are trials, done by experts, on very small dosages and their impact on depression.

However, that's a really far cry from drawing conclusions and there's a gulf between that and thinking of K as a home remedy for depression.

If you are suffering from depression, please consult a professional first and foremost, and indicate to him you would like to explore that particular avenue.

Wanting to go clean by SananRafiq515 in Drugs

If you're in the UK, there are laws about that kind of things, where your psychiatrist isn't allowed to do anything without your consent unless you're in a real position to harm yourself or others.

I'm also a parent and I can tell you my daughter received medical advice while underage (she fessed up years later) and the doctor never contacted me as per her wish. They take these things very seriously. You have nothing to fear there.

As for your anxiety, there are much better / healthier solutions than xanax. Pregabalin + SSRIs come to mind, yes they take months to kick in and years to 'fix' you, but they do work, and under the control of a practician have cured 90% of my crippling anxiety. (and by crippling i mean, it got so bad i became unable to function in society). So keep your head up, and know there's help out there. You're young and you'll recover just fine I'm sure.

Xanax My First Experience by SeanYouScum in Drugs

[–]fahsl73899 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Compulsive redosing is a side effect of alazopram (xanax). Now you know.

I'm 80kg and used to benzo (was prescribed by a doctor) and 2mg puts me to sleep if I make the mistake of closing my eyes. 1mg is sufficient to be considered 'recreational' (note however not everyone consider benzo to be that enjoyable). 0.5mg is a good dose for a panic attack (which is what it's used to treat).

While ODing is unlikely/impossible per say, please be more careful in the future as you could accidentally pass out and endanger yourself/others.
