I Saved a PNG Image To A Bird
(www.youtube.com)
OP, how exactly did you extrapolate that title from the video?
It's the title the video was uploaded under?
Ok, sorry. I was just curious as the video title is different and I didn't see the upload name itself. (in the video thumbnail itself: "Birds can store data")
This was just a slight difference that got me thinking about file sizes, why a PNG was converted instead of just drawing on a spectrograph and other little nuances of this process, s'all.
Without watching the video, I'm assuming the guy didn't actually save data to a bird but assigned data to an identifier the bird can give off, like its shape or something.
Also without watching my guess was that it was sending out a sound and relying on the birds repeating that sound. So like storing it in the bird's memory
This is basically it. The sound is a 179kb datafile.
Haven't watched the video yet either, but that guy's content is usually very interesting and deep. Good production value too.
I watched the video, and you are incorrect.
