I discovered a sound that leaks your exact location (and it's everywhere) - https://simonwillison.net/2026/Nov/3/a-sound-that-leaks-your-exact-location/ "Genius piece of #OSINT by Colsto, who demonstrates how you can take almost imperceptible background noise of planes from a video soundtrack, figure out their Doppler curves, then cross reference them against ADS-B data to find the exact location of the video based on their speed, distance, and gaps between different flights." #whoa

@eythian thanks, yes v clever
Do you think this is legit? It certainly sounds plausible, but
a) is it really posssible
b) Given the sound quality/ambient noise of most videos, how often is it going to work even if possible?
@brembs sounds plausible in theory, no idea in practice...
