Not a custom firmware.


Custom man-in-the-middleware?


Cloud replacement.

Middle would imply there being another end still.


Local cloud running on your vacuum cleaner.


A dust cloud?


Tier in Germany did have helmets on some of their older scooters, however it seems like they replaced them with newer ones which don't have them anymore.


There's Flaschenpost[1] in some cities, and afaik it's pretty popular. Me and my partner use it pretty regularly.

wow, what a badly designed site. I can't even look at it because it keeps pestering me with some popup that asks for my ZIP code (which I don't want to provide, as I just want to know what that page is all about)


It was not connected to the internet, they actually went to the place, and I believe they have switched out the coax cable which was coming from the camera with their own input.

There was a mini-montage back in the day of them pulling this off.

Should've checked properly; thank you! I edited out the last sentence.


Found a teaser (possibly testing one?) with WB Marketing watermarks:

Good find! Unfortunately, the file has since disappeared..!

Did you download it by any chance?



Wow, good one. Thank you!

Few interesting things about that file:

- that video has a higher bitrate -- ffprobe shows 4338 kb/s, which is probably an average value. One of the "regular" MD5-named videos I tried has 2256 kb/s as its bitrate

- the resolution of the file is the same as the regular MD5-encoded filename videos i.e. 1080p

- as the https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28448361 comment mentions, it does have WB watermarks

- the Internet Archive grabbed 4 similarly non-MD5-named videos in total:

https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://thechoiceisyours.whati...

(I can't link to the list of files directly because the asterisk in the URL breaks HN formatting -- follow the "Click here to search for all archived pages under" link)

- The 7000k/12000k values in those URLs do correspond to bitrate. The 12000k video (downloadable from the archive.org link above) has an average bitrate of 6131 kb/s. It also has watermarks.
