#2Sounds like anyone wanting to do a "proper" fake job will now need to separate out any existing hum, then add a new continuous "hum track" based upon those publicly available ENV values.
Probably wouldn't even be all that hard.

I really enjoy Tom Scott. Everything he puts out is wonderfully concise.

I like the guy too but not a big fan of the whole dumb-it-down/ELI5 culture. Some subjects absolutely require a lot more (written text, experimentation/tweaking with code) than few fancy videos to grasp.

#6Great article. Something in me finds satisfaction when I recognised something I learned about at uni applied in the real world.
Now on to building an ENF spoofing machine that people can carry around with them to confuse eavesdroppers.

By itself? No. But this is just one more thing that can be used to date a recording. If you even know about it.
There are hundreds of known fingerprints and you just need to forget about or not know of just one for your fraud to be called out.

All subjects have non-dumbed down versions in research papers, university level books or industry reference manuals. The existence of more dumbed down content doesn't make those disappear.

#9Curious if this can be used to discern AI-generated voice recordings vs authentic.
A determined faker could always add their own noise, but this be a good first-pass detector.

A dumbed down version is great to introduce people to the subject
Chances are that good written explanations already exist, just a Google search away, for those who want to learn more.
Tom’s video and this blog post are perfect combo that complement each other.
