Cyberlink to Support MS DVI-HDCP Protocol

By Ian Bell Published May 13, 2005

Software designed to comply with COPP – such as CyberLink’s TV entertainment product PowerCinema and playback software PowerDVD – supports the protection of content according to the rules of the DVD Forum, the Blu-ray Disc Association, and Digital Transmission Licensing Administrator (DTLA).

CyberLink’s implementation of COPP ensures the protection of content during output to an external display via a Digital Video Interface featuring High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (DVI-HDCP). With COPP support featured in CyberLink products, users will be able to watch commercial high-definition content – such as that available on Blu-ray discs and HD DVDs – through their LCD monitors, video projectors or HDTVs. Without this support users will be prevented from playing copy-protected content.

“The secure playback of high definition content on the PC is an extremely important issue for the creators and owners of digital content,” said Alice H. Chang, CEO of CyberLink. “This is why in addition to support for Blu-ray discs and HD DVDs, CyberLink is implementing COPP as a way of providing complete copy-protection solutions for our OEM customers.”

A new startup wants to fix the military’s working-dog shortage with cloning and gene editing

Promising pitch, plenty of unanswered questions about the dogs.

Military working dogs charge into places the rest of us would flee. So, I understand why anyone would want to breed tougher, healthier dogs for the job.

Warhound, a new startup from Colossal Biosciences co-founder Ben Lamm and Anduril co-founder Palmer Luckey, has stepped out of stealth with $200 million to clone and gene-edit working dogs for American troops, police departments, and emergency services (via TechCrunch).

AI can describe a picture, but it still struggles to understand blind users

A University of Maryland study finds that Be My AI often buries useful answers in lengthy descriptions, leaving blind users to work harder to get the information they need.

AI can describe a picture, identify objects, and answer questions about what a camera sees. But when a blind user needs a quick answer, getting an entire spoken essay about the scene isn't exactly helpful. Researchers at the University of Maryland (UMD) have found that AI-powered visual assistance can leave blind users doing too much work to get the information they actually need.

The study, titled Say It My Way: Exploring Control in Conversational Visual Question Answering with Blind Users, examined how people interact with Be My AI, an AI-powered feature of the Be My Eyes app. The researchers found that users often received lengthy descriptions that didn't adequately address their immediate goals, forcing them to ask follow-up questions or find ways to steer the AI towards a more useful answer.

Etsy cracks down on AI slop listings. Everyone else needs to take note.

Now every platform must decide what counts as handmade.

Platforms tend to shrug off AI clutter until it threatens what they sell. For Etsy, that thing is trust in the maker.

To protect that, Etsy has banned AI-generated how-to guides and listings made entirely by bots. Most sellers must show at least one unretouched photo of the item (via Etsy Seller Handbook).
