In this fast-paced world of digital tricks and image manipulation where you can erase objects and alter images with the swipe of a smartphone, Leica wants photos taken with its camera to leave a digital fingerprint, known as a Content Credential. The M11-P also has a 60-megapixel sensor and the typical discreet, Leica-style design.
Content credentials capture metadata about the photo (such as the camera used, location, time, and more) and lock it in a manifest that is wrapped around the image using a cryptographic key. Those credentials can be verified online and every time someone subsequently edits that photo, the changes are recorded in an updated manifest, included with the image, and updated in the Content Credentials database.
Users can click on an icon to access all of this historical manifest information, and it is described as a "nutrition label" for photographs.

What to expect from Apple’s Scary Fast event
M3-powered MacBook Pros and new iMacs.
On All Saints’ Eve… Apple hosts another event. This one is called “Scary Fast,” which is a good indicator that Apple will have powerful new hardware (or chips) to show off. It’s been almost 17 months since Apple’s M2 system on a chip (SoC) debuted. With many chip rivals following an annual cadence for their chipsets, the time may have come for the M3.
Most rumors suggest a new iMac, possibly powered by the new chip, and the 24-inch iMac should already be updated. Or maybe the company will scare us all with even more subscription price increases.

Spotify appears set to review its royalty model next year
You could implement minimum gaming thresholds.
Spotify’s royalty model will be massively revamped next year "working artists" a bigger cut. He’s planning three changes, starting with setting a minimum number of annual streams a track must reach to generate royalties. While these tracks represent a small percentage of the music on the platform, their royalties still cost Spotify tens of millions of dollars a year. The second change is to detect illegal activities, such as the use of artificial intelligence tools to repeatedly stream tracks and artificially increase play counts. The third part is aimed at "non-musical noise content," like white noise and binaural beats. Many noise tracks on Spotify are only 31 seconds long because the platform pays for each play longer than half a minute.
