It's incredibly common in this field.

"i am blowing up" and it cuts to the shot of the rabbi :D lol

Um.... wow! This movie, Hackers, was released in 1995, and I watched it on the movie theater in Germany. So it very much predates the current troubles.

@@SecuritySync foreshadowing :D

What's the point in blurring out Waveforms and FFT ?!

[@SecuritySync]

TL;DR: paranoia about legality. Behind the scenes: we recorded the video and said "ooh, we're potentially in danger because of the laws around intercepting pagers and we just recorded 10 minutes of evidence and are going to put it on KZbin". I could blur the frequencies on the scope and the tuner tab, but gqrx does this thing where you mouse over the waterfall, and it gives you the frequency information. So I had to blur the whole thing out. I know it sucks really bad, but I'M TOO PRETTY TO GO TO JAIL!!!!!!!!11111

Anyone else use PDW to decode POGSAG and FLEX back in the day?

[@SecuritySync]

I haven't used it, mostly because I'm a Linux zealot and it's windows-only. But I am that old. 😂

LOL. FFT means Fast Fourier Transform. not "Fixed Fourier Transform".

[@SecuritySync]

Hah, my oops.
