    Reminds me of PoC||GTFO.

    Loads of fun in this and in that. And does indeed make me sometimes question if I know anything about programming (in a good way:)

    This was a joy to read on a lovely Saturday morning. The Sound hacking one was incredibly interesting. I’d love to hear the waveform! Also, note to self, don’t use shit chinese cameras…

      That one stuck out to me too. Hilarious and terrifying.

    Page 55 is particularly brilliant, where the author roots a camera just by playing a carefully crafted sound at it.

    Reminds me of when we used to load programs off of audio cassette tapes back in the day. Also it, somewhat obliquely, reminds me of BLIT by David Langford.

      My first computer was a Tandy CoCo TRS-80 with an audio cassette tape. Just yesterday I was using AI to formulate a plan to create graphics for a BASIC program.

      I don’t know if I’ll build something, because there might not be much point, but I sure have a lot of nostalgia for these old systems.

    This is brilliant idea, well executed, and god darn it's using some pretty art. It's a shame reading it from a pdf though, and the print on demand options are quite pricey. I'd gladly subscribe to get this kind of thing in the mail though.

    Neat!

    I like the concept, cool that everything is just one page

    There doesnt seem to be anything on the site for actually printing out a personal copy, though the magazine says it does. Everything on the printing page says to just send email. Where can I find some printer friendly documents?

    • gynvael 7 hours ago ago

      Spot on. So here's the problem: initially we wanted to just put the print-ready files on the website. But then — once we got more experience with physical printing — we've learned that it's not so simple, because there are several moving parameters (like bleed sizes, spine sizes, etc).

      As such, for now unfortunately you still have to email us with the parameters you need, so we can generate a PDF set for you. But in the future we want to just generate all possible sets and put them out there (all in due time).

    Very good. I've signed up.

    Is this a spam/fishing campaign?

    I got a spam email from a google group without having subscribed to this group before from 3 hours ago, long before this news item made it to the HN front page (e.g. it's unlikely that somebody else made a typo that resulted in my email address).

    In the unlikely case that there are any humans in the loop: please stop doing this sort of 'marketing'.

    • integralid 15 hours ago ago

      This is weird. I personally know humans in the loop (not affiliated in any way, but itsec is a small community) and they would never do such thing (especially the lead editor).

      If you're sure you never subscribed, consider contacting them to let them know about this.

      Paged Out!'s project lead here. This is really weird... could you tell me which group did you get the email from? If you email me (gynvael@pagedout.institute) your email I can both remove it and try to figure out how your email got there.
