And how is that relevant? The point is to block people from opening the image in Photoshop, nothing else.

Or, you know, stop using Photoshop for implementing stupid things into your day

What? The point is to make a t-shirt that triggers CDS in Photoshop. Without Photoshop the whole point is lost. This is not about protecting anyone, privacy or anything useful at all. It's a gimmick and a fun hack.

we deadass printed a $7 with Nixon on it and i'm pretty sure we had one or two other stupid things too. lunch lady still took it. kids are assholes.

I feel like at some point it is on the adult for accepting a 7 dollar bill… Some places won’t even take (legal!) 2 dollar bills.

Nah she was busy as anything so didn't really have time to look. She might have caught on eventually but my parents did first, they saw me with a few of them and figured out we'd been pocketing our lunch money while scamming free lunches. Made us pay back all the money plus extra then work off anything we couldn't pay which is pretty fair tbh.

Awesome idea! For anyone interested in the concept of adverserial clothing.. Medium size patch defeats/confuses person recognition: https://towardsdatascience.com/avoiding-detection-with-adver...

Question: without modifying my acrual license plates, can i paint my car in a way that would confuse license plate readers? False plates elsewhere on the car? Lines to confuse pattern recognition into rejecting the true plate?

False plates will also confuse a human and will be against the rules, likely will get you fined just like driving with consealed ones or without plates at all.

Everyone else has mentioned the easy part - replacing the function entry with "return not money" The hard part is finding where that is. One approach is to start with the error string - find it in the file and put a memory-read breakpoint on it in the debugger. Trigger the error and capture the call stack - start working up the chain until you identify why that text was read, either the failure directly or a message…

> start with the error string - find it in the file This has never ever worked for me, unless it was some prepared example. There just never are any meaningful strings in the EXE.

did you check DLLs?

A t shirt is just a real life nft. It's just as worthless.

If worse comes to worse, you can use a T-shirt to wipe your arse, at least. More benefit than any NFT

That's what toilet paper is for. Most people won't do that.

what happened? did a huge Secret Service warning pop up or something?

It’s a normal error message telling you Photoshop can’t open the image and a link to a site about counterfeiting, a little weird the first time you see it but nothing like those scary FBI warnings on websites that get taken down or anything.

Late to reply, but yes it was pretty much this. I don't recall exactly what it looked like, but it wasn't anything scary. My reaction was mostly one of amused surprise.
