Quote:Anybody who has a computer and access to the internet can technically produce a “deepfake” video, says John Villasenor, professor of electrical engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles.

The technology can be used to make people believe something is real when it is not,” said Peter Singer, cybersecurity and defense focused strategist and senior fellow at New America.

Camera apps have become increasingly sophisticated. Users can elongate legs, remove pimples, add on animal ears and now, some can even create false videos that look very real. The technology used to create such digital content has quickly become accessible to the masses, and they are called “deepfakes.”

Deepfakes refer to manipulated videos, or other digital representations produced by sophisticated artificial intelligence, that yield fabricated images and sounds that appear to be real.

John Villasenor, nonresident senior fellow of governance studies at the Center for Technology Innovation at Washington-based public policy organization, the Brookings Institution. “Deepfakes are raising a set of challenging policy, technology, and legal issues.”

What are deepfakes?

The word deepfake combines the terms “deep learning” and “fake,” and is a form of artificial intelligence.

In simplistic terms, deepfakes are falsified videos made by means of deep learning, said Paul Barrett, adjunct professor of law at New York University.

Deep learning is “a subset of AI,” and refers to arrangements of algorithms that can learn and make intelligent decisions on their own.

But the danger of that is “the technology can be used to make people believe something is real when it is not,” said Peter Singer, cybersecurity and defense-focused strategist and senior fellow at New America think tank.

How do deepfakes work?

A deep-learning system can produce a persuasive counterfeit by studying photographs and videos of a target person from multiple angles, and then mimicking its behavior and speech patterns.

Barrett explained that “once a preliminary fake has been produced, a method known as GANs, or generative adversarial networks, makes it more believable. The GANs process seeks to detect flaws in the forgery, leading to improvements addressing the flaws.”

And after multiple rounds of detection and improvement, the deepfake video is completed, said the professor.

How to detect manipulated videos?

While AI can be used to make deepfakes, it can also be used to detect them, Brookings’ Villasenor wrote in February. With the technology becoming accessible to any computer user, more and more researchers are focusing on deepfake detection and looking for a way of regulating it.

Large corporations such as Facebook and Microsoft have taken initiatives to detect and remove deepfake videos. The two companies announced earlier this year that they will be collaborating with top universities across the U.S. to create a large database of fake videos for research, according to Reuters.

“Presently, there are slight visual aspects that are off if you look closer, anything from the ears or eyes not matching to fuzzy borders of the face or too smooth skin to lighting and shadows,” said Singer from New America.

"A new kind of Android malware capable of reinstalling itself even after being manually removed has reportedly infected more than 45,000 Android devices over the last six months.

The latest findings — disclosed by cybersecurity firm Symantec — come after a similar disclosure by MalwareBytes, which first spotted the malware in the wild in May 2019.

Called xHelper, the Trojan — affecting mostly users in India, the US, Russia — has since shot up to the top 10 list of most detected mobile malware, with Symantec observing what it calls “a surge in detections” of the malicious Android malware that can hide itself from users, download additional malicious apps, and display advertisements."

Quote:Chrome 78 has a new trick up its sleeve. It can forcibly enable dark mode on every website you visit, putting an end to those blinding white backgrounds on your nice dark desktop.

This is a Brute-Force Solution

Google Chrome already has a built-in dark mode. Websites can automatically switch to dark mode if you’re using it, assuming the site supports this. But most websites don’t have automatic dark mode—or any dark mode.

Rather than waiting for millions of websites to jump on the dark mode bandwagon, Chrome’s new “Force Dark Mode for Web Contents” option will turn all those bright websites dark. It’s a little like using “Smart Invert” on an iPhone—light colors will turn bright, but it’ll leave images alone.

How to Force Dark Mode on All Websites

Want to try it out? This option is available as a hidden flag in Chrome 78. Like all flags, it’s an experimental option that may change or be removed at any time. It one day may graduate to a proper option on Chrome’s Settings screen, or it may vanish completely.

To find it, type “chrome://flags” into Chrome’s Omnibox and press Enter.

Search for “Dark Mode” in the search box at the top of the Experiments page that appears.

You can also try other Force Dark Mode options. The different modes will products different results on web pages. Some of them will even invert light images, turning those images dark. This will make images look different, of course, but it may be convenient if you want a consistently dark desktop.

Toxic threat covered trees which are struggling. You must help the trees, clearing them of toxins, allowing them to re-bloom.
Game Plumbing "Toxic threat" is of the long-known genre of "plumber ", but you will be pleasantly surprised by the changes that bring variety to the gameplay. The game will be interesting for everyone from novices to pros.

The game has 20 levels, which differ:
- Simple levels - which will help you to practice logic games and how to construct a pipeline. At these levels have no restrictions, can be long and hard to find the right solution;

- For time – after simple training levels, we will complicate the task, now every level has a time limit, be careful while choosing the desired position of pipes, if time runs out, you have to start the level again;

- With limited turn-out of pipes, can you easily cope with the levels on time ? Then let's complicate the task now each pipe can only be turned 4 times, after those it will break, be careful, because there are the pipes without which you can't force in to the correct path of the pipeline. In advance, think before you twist the tube and watch the time;

- Filter – and here are the new levels, now at level, there is a filter that separates the toxins into the water and poison. Here it is necessary to hold the pipe to the filter and from the filter to the pipe in two directions, clean water back to the tree, but the poison to collect in the barrel, also do not forget about the separation of turn-outs and time;

-With different directions – and finally, the most difficult levels. Here you will have to think carefully, because the correct version of the pipeline is only one, you need to correctly make a plumbing, but at some point it will be split into two or even three directions, which extremely complicates task, and you shouldn't forget about the time and limitation of the turn-outs of the pipes.
