Aircraft audio gives The Modern Rogue a privacy puzzle
Office Hours examines whether a passing plane can reveal where a recording was made, alongside word games and robot diversions.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Next story: The Modern Rogue checks propane levels with hot water
A passing aircraft might leave more than noise in a recording. In "what is 'Doppler doxxing?' | Office Hours #239", The Modern Rogue watches highlights from colsto's demonstration and considers what it takes to turn background audio into a location clue.
That is the week's more curious rabbit hole: a discussion extending from audio filtering and phone compression to synthetic audio chaff. Before that comes a Scam School word challenge with seven letters taken away, plus a retro-computer interface discussion invoking the Apple IIe. Later, the itinerary reaches Japan's bear-scaring "Monster Wolf" robot. Office Hours leaves itself plenty of room to wander.
Eight uploads arrived altogether. The most-watched, "How to Tell How Much Propane Is Left", reached about 86,000 views with its hot-water demonstration: pour water down the tank's exterior, then feel for the temperature boundary. Viewers offered weighing the tank as an alternative, while others asked whether the method would work on a helium tank.
The freshest momentum belongs to "Can You Spot How This Shuffle Is Rigged?", currently drawing views faster than the propane tutorial or "Try Not to Blink for 30 Seconds". The channel's subscriber count stayed unchanged over the week, and daily viewing is running at roughly half its usual pace. Among nearby science and experiment channels, Chris Boden had a substantially busier week, while Domain of Science drew a smaller weekly audience than The Modern Rogue. Here, the new-upload menu stretched from checking grill fuel to questioning what a microphone gives away.
