Have you tried Organic Maps? Works pretty well for me.
base12 has the advantage of being divisible by 2, 3, 4 and 6, while base10 is only divisible by 2 and 5.
Optical Character Recognition. Basically just extracting text from an image.
You can do this in VLC, though it’s not very practical. VLC’s equalizer has a preamp slider, it’s just not great if you want to change it all the time.
Fun fact about that: in morse code, SOS is a prosign. This means it gets its own special rules.
Rather than being three seperate letters (… — …), it’s one letter without any letter spaces (…—…). This is something that applies to all prosigns in morse code, though most of them are just two letters long.
Also, when sending it on repeat you just continue the pattern without any spaces. Instead of …—… …—… (with a letter space) or …—…/…—… (with a word space), you send …—…—…—…—… and just keep continuing the pattern. iirc SOS is the only prosign where this is a thing.
Other prosigns are for example HH (…) to indicate a correction to something previously sent, and SK (…-.-) (silent key) to signal that you have finished with the current conversation and the frequency is now clear.
Unfourtunately, I couldn’t find a source stating it would be required. AFAIK it’s been assumed that they would use perceptual hashes, since that’s what various companies have been suggesting/presenting. Like Apple’s NeuralHash, which was reverse engineered. It’s also the only somewhat practical solution, since exact matches would be easily be circumvented by changing one pixel or mirroring the image.
Patrick Breyer’s page on Chat Control has a lot of general information about the EU’s proposal.
