Apparently not, and it works when the device's audio is muted.
The AliExpress website was found processing a fixed audio waveform and examining the resulting numerical values. Tiny differences can arise from the browser, operating system, CPU behavior, audio hardware, and drivers. When combined with other signals, they become another input that can contribute to a browser or device identifier.
Investigation of the page’s code reportedly found audio-processing graphs that were set to zero volume but remained connected to the system audio output. That explains why a user could hear nothing, and why muting a browser tab would not necessarily prevent the processing. All the relevant work was occurring within the Web Audio graph rather than through a conventional media player.

A screenshot from the other day of me testing to see if Steam movies still worked. It is a time capsule. The max resolution is 1024p, and it has the amount of stream artifacting you'd expect from a decade ago. Here's the store page, which received barely any activity.
Back when I was messing with ROM hacking, I had wanted the ability to change the graphics without being constrained by the limitations of the SNES resolution and ROM size. My old dream of making a hand-drawn EarthBound without having to learn game development could become a possibility with this.
Also curious about the audio enhancement. Replacing all the samples and synths with uncompressed versions could destroy the original intended sound, but I wonder if the planned re-adding of effects can remedy that.

That was unexpectedly powerful.

Looks super cool, but also like a Houndeye from Half-Life
It'd be a great ROM hack! The robot could follow like a teddy bear and tank some hits, and the Sharks could follow like the Flying Men.
That's exactly what happens in the prequel. The 4th party member is a knife-brandishing gang leader that joins after you defeat him.
No deadly robot assistant, though.
She wants to be able to smell if they've washed their hands. Or she a freak and wants a good post-potty whiff.

Quite a dramatic jump in version number for the fixed build. Dual screen support is huge.
I've played the crap out of the demo as a youngin', so I'm definitely interested in giving a proper attempt with a modernized engine
The clothing ripples are crazy
Holy vicarious hobbywork, thank you for bringing me along for the entire journey. Awesome skills!
Oh sweet, looks like the US is getting it's own "Kim Jong-Un looking at things" style photo blog sometime soon.
Try plugging your monitor in a motherboard port instead of the GPU ports.
I hope this is still around when i need a new phone, because the ~$200 Motorola models have been GOATed for a while now.
Offender reveal party

Radical. I wonder if you can post a screenshot of how it looks from the forum side and have it show up in Lemmy.
That site only displays correctly in Wetscape
