The label in the room
The same hash is printed at the foot of the label. If they match, nobody changed the text.
The internet is physical: cables, shores, 99 phones in a cart that fooled a map. Your phone keeps broadcasting too. Remove the location tag from a photo before posting it.
Интернет физический: кабели, берега, 99 телефонов в тележке, которые обманули карту. Ваш телефон тоже всё время излучает: сети, координаты, время. Удалите геометку из фото перед публикацией.
