I noticed a few days ago that someone had put up two signs on a local, fairly busy, road. They were cloth signs with the following painted on them, "Covid vax heart attacks", and on the other "Covid shots blood clots". Pretty effective; short and sweet. I would have taken photos, but if I want to download photos to my computer, for posting here, I have to take them with my digital camera, download to a laptop computer in our house, for transfer to my laptop that I use for posting things here. (my laptop sd card reader quit working a couple years ago) It looked like a county highway department truck was in the process of taking them down, but a few thousand people probably saw them while they were up.

Need some frens on the lookout with prepared spares, when the county truck pulls away, new ones go up.
There are more of us than they have minions.
howbadismybatch.com would work too
True. Like the UK group who took out the cameras in London.
^^^ THIS IS THE WAY!!!! ^^^
UPS screwed up a few years ago and left a box full of blank label stickers (the big ones). Ive never had any use, hut kept them anyway. This entire county (and a few close by towns) is fixin to get PLASTERED with 5”x3” sticker memes in every public restroom.
God bless whoever put them up. More please!
Not sure why some think I was the person who put the signs up; I just saw them and thought people here would be interested in knowing that the truth about the covid shots is getting out in numerous ways :) (and another possible t-shirt with the one message on the front and the other on the back :) )
So this was in New York? That's a "good sign", literally!
If your card reader doesn't work, you can buy a card reader that plugs right into a USB port on the computer. It comes with like 3 different size slots and the one I bought last month was 20 bucks.
I've been using one for years, after the laptop SD slot quit. I dropped the reader so many times that it has no casing-- all the circuits and chip are exposed. Works great still.
I think I have one somewhere :) (but until I find it, I'm stuck doing the sd card read on one machine, transfer to a zip stick, then download to my laptop :) )
You have more patience than me. These darn computers, pains in the butt sometimes.
Make larger ones and put them back up!
Their are specific laws on what you can post on the right of way. Get permission and post them on private land....
True. This Is The Way.
edit- try taking a BLM sign down and see what happens. On anyones land, right?
Put some up like the old Burma Shave signs
The photo applications can embed tracking information into images without your knowledge using stociatic noise as I understand it. Don't quote me but the technology exists. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-981-15-5191-8_11 I just think you were smart to not upload a personal image without processing it first with noise reduction.
You’re saying that simply by having your photo on windows and/or using their photo viewing app that this info gets embedded into the photo? Got any supporting info on that claim? I couldn’t find anything with a quick search. Wouldn’t surprise me but I’ve never heard that claim before

Similar technology has existed for years in the physical space.
20 years ago there was a plug in for Photoshop that could encode/decode an image. I used it a few times. Sadly certain things are not so easy to find on the search engines these days.
You would be at a disadvantage to assume this is not the case for image processing in video cards of consumer machines.
Just use a denoiser in photoshop to zap your images just in case. It's just prudent.

Yeah this process is called steganography. It should be very easy to confirm that Windows is doing this though, image encoding should be deterministic afaik if you're not using compression. Just save a bmp as png or gif or whatever on Windows and Linux, and check the hashes.
Where I grew concerned was on a malfunctioning laptop. The image generation in windows I learned was processing through the graphics system and not direct to screen. If you preented an image the hardware would introduce artifacts into every saved image. When the image corruption was reintroduced into the image saved it became a concern.
You would need to test using a known safe system as the image pipeline could introduce and remove artifacts realtime without you being aware. The shared image could be sent through Cisco's network hardware, processed and cleaned without you being aware.
It's not beyond the realm of possibilities.
Kek. You just typed "printed" with a Greek accent. ;-)
I'd love to see some evidence.
Sounds like the county truck needs some new bumper stickers...lol
FYI: SD slots often get debris packed into them...Compressed air often fixes it via cleaning.
If not, they sell USB SD card readers for $5-20 depending on how many other things you want to convert too - EG: SD, micro SD, HDMI, Lightning, RJ45 etc...
The more you know...
Put 'em back up!
Great idea! Let's all get to work frens...this is the way!
This is a great idea.
Here's what I do:
Take photo with smartphone. Share -> email -> resize for web -> send to laptop.
