Mmm what?

Doesn't seem to have impacted Wireguard.
If I generate a key pair and use it to sign a file and distribute it and then I publish the public key somewhere like Facebook, any recipient of the file could be assured that the file originated from my Facebook account. A commercial certificate is not required to do this. As to whether the Facebook account holder is actually me is another problem, but hopefully major social media platforms require at least a photo ID.
Edit: Sorry, I said public certificate when I meant commercial certificate.
You seem to be conflating NFTs and digital signatures. Any file can be signed, unrelated to any sort of block chain technology. See PGP and related for more information.
Edit: fixed a typo
I suppose you are correct, but it seems like a standard could be adopted to automate the process for both the creator and the consumer. And while the system would work for any creator, it seems most important to be able to ensure the integrity of the work product of journalistic professionals.
I had anticipated that there would be an uptick in cryptographic signing to combat the problem as this sort of fakery has become ubiquitous, which in my mind would assure the recipient of a file that
A) the file is unaltered after the date/time of the signing B) that the file was created by the named photographer or videographer
This is not proof of authenticity but with a verifiable source, the file recipient could at least judge for themselves based on the reputation of the file creator (say, a notable AP photojournalist vs. some random schmoe).
Thus far, whenever I have raised this idea in a public forum, it has met with silence or even derision. What am I missing?
This is fascinating! Thank you.
Biden's original pick got jammed up in the Senate and finally withdrew their name from consideration. This wasn't resolved until last September.

Ah I feel you. Now that you mention it, I may have had to cast something when I was using mine because it had a phone app but not a Google TV app. Syfy maybe? It's been too long.
Maybe it's gotten better since they first dropped, but this article alludes to the storage limitations. I ran into the problem with mine. I remember I had to delete apps and clear app data to get enough space to install an update.
The article also speculates the lack of storage may be why they Android version hasn't been updated on them since release.
Edit: Here's another link describing the problem around the time it launched. https://www.androidcentral.com/chromecast-google-tv-update-extra-storage-space-management
Edit #2: They may have received an Android update the first year after launch, but not since? Sorry but I've gotten a little fuzzy on the details.
I can't remember exactly when I stopped installing mIRC when I built a new PC, but it's been a while. Is DALnet still around?
