You seem to be conflating NFTs and digital signatures. Any file can be signed, unrelated to any sort of block chain technology. See PGP and related for more information.

Edit: fixed a typo

I suppose you are correct, but it seems like a standard could be adopted to automate the process for both the creator and the consumer. And while the system would work for any creator, it seems most important to be able to ensure the integrity of the work product of journalistic professionals.

I had anticipated that there would be an uptick in cryptographic signing to combat the problem as this sort of fakery has become ubiquitous, which in my mind would assure the recipient of a file that

A) the file is unaltered after the date/time of the signing B) that the file was created by the named photographer or videographer

This is not proof of authenticity but with a verifiable source, the file recipient could at least judge for themselves based on the reputation of the file creator (say, a notable AP photojournalist vs. some random schmoe).

Thus far, whenever I have raised this idea in a public forum, it has met with silence or even derision. What am I missing?

Indeed.

Biden’s original pick got jammed up in the Senate and finally withdrew their name from consideration. This wasn’t resolved until last September.

Ah I feel you. Now that you mention it, I may have had to cast something when I was using mine because it had a phone app but not a Google TV app. Syfy maybe? It’s been too long.

Maybe it’s gotten better since they first dropped, but this article alludes to the storage limitations. I ran into the problem with mine. I remember I had to delete apps and clear app data to get enough space to install an update.

The article also speculates the lack of storage may be why they Android version hasn’t been updated on them since release.

Edit #2: They may have received an Android update the first year after launch, but not since? Sorry but I’ve gotten a little fuzzy on the details.

Sorry but I’m not sure I understand you. I haven’t had mine on in a while (got a Roku) but I recall that there were apps for all the major streaming services.

Will it have enough storage space to update itself if you have more than four apps installed?

sgibson5150 OP , 3 months ago to android in Android app dependency?

Interesting idea. Have not tried. Currently installed version is 8.6.69.622227155.2-release if that is helpful to anyone making the attempt.

sgibson5150 OP , 3 months ago (edited 3 months ago) to android in Android app dependency?

I haven’t had the opportunity to test on another brand phone but atm I’m assuming from the developer statement that this will be true of Google Translate on all Android phones. Thanks for your contribution, though.

Edit: If the Google app is disabled on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4, the same behavior occurs.

Not your fault. I was surprised at the behavior. Lemmy should handle that better. A post in the subscribed list IMO should be more like an abstract or excerpt, with the full text only available when viewing the post.
