Kudos to Lucas Rooyakkers for coming to #HOPE with a specially crafted slide that (sort of) hacked the projector 😂
We flicked back and forth, and found 2 slides in his deck that would consistently trigger this.
His talk on chaos Chaos and Undetectable Communications was also super interesting:

Mitch mentioned that we live in difficult times where the world is shifting towards authoritarianism.
Communities are a powerful cure for society.

Mitch Altman's keynote on building resilient communities was of particular interest to me.

Mitch co-founded the famous San Francisco hackerspace Noisebridge, and was involved with many others.
He also built or helped building co-living spaces and other local communities.

I don't know enough of HDMI signal encoding to explain this, but PAL and NTSC had horizontal and vertical sync pulses which were slightly outside the range of the analog luma and chroma signals.
Certain high-contrast patterns at maximum intensity could wildly distort the image on early CRTs.

Mitch Altman is also the hacker behind TV-B-Gone, a universal remote for turning off TVs, particularly useful in public spaces 😂
