Irina Tech Tips Newsletter #8
Hello, my dear readers!
Thank you so much for staying with me!
Just a reminder that in this newsletter, I will be collecting weekly posts from two Twitter accounts - https://twitter.com/cyb_detective and https://twitter.com/irina_tech_tips.
Last week, I finally got a website cybdetective.com with links to all my social media profiles. There you can also find links to discount coupons for games and software, which both allows you to save money and support me.

OSINT tools

Voicemod's Text-to-Sing API
Select a tune, enter the lyrics and the result is an audio recording with music and vocals. It sounds pretty creepy so far, but it's getting very close to the point where neural networks could replace singers.

MS Image2Video
AI generator of short videos based on uploaded pictures.
If you use the pictures from the examples, it looks impressive. If you upload your own, it's pretty creepy.
But it still brings us closer to full AI video generation.

Code Llama Playground

BlueSky stats
If you invite someone to BlueSky and they ask: "What is the audience for this social network?", then show them this page:
A month ago it was 396,000, now it's 750,000 (UPD: 839 000 one week later)!
Voters databases
When looking for information on U.S. citizens, do a first and last name search in voter records. You can find addresses and dates of birth there.
Links to different voter records database and Google CSE"Search for US voters" can be found here:
