Seems backwards to me. If you make a camera. Then you make a wireless version, which adds chips and software to the base. Nikon is claiming they are doing the opposite. They made a wireless camera, and now it costs them money to subtract hardware and software. At best, subtraction of wireless means the “base” wasn’t a modular design.

Nikon routinely works directly with various government and industrial partners who require that a camera lack wireless connectivity hardware, like WiFi and Bluetooth chips, typically for security reasons. These cameras are generally produced in limited quantities, Nikon says, and have long lead times.

While Nikon would usually work directly with customers who require a specialized camera like this, the company has heard from its retail partners that they, too, have customers with these specific needs, so Nikon elected to make a small number of the Z6 III (No Wireless Connectivity) available in the public marketplace through its retailer network.

At worst, they know they can charge the people who need safety more money, because they are dealing with large budgets and a non-negotiable requirement.

Drop Site is reporting an integrity breach in its purest form, related to the Intercept leaving a dormant Signal username on a “Become a Source” page. The username was taken over and then a social media account describing itself as “Investigative Intake” solicited tips in roughly 100 posts between February and May, pulling in prospective sources.

Drop Site suggests the takeover exploited Signal’s recycling of dormant usernames. The Intercept framed its username switch as “security best practices”. Best practice actually would be an integrity breach notification, but its chief legal officer declined to address how the account had been seized, how long it persisted, or whether prospective sources were warned.

The Intercept executed a silent rebrand instead of a proper breach notification, while promoting itself to journalists for live training on responding “before, during, and after an online attack“.

Emptywheel sums up the Trump “fair” as built to be unfair.

When you’re guaranteed no-bid contracts to make private profits out of Federal money, you don’t waste time making things look nice. You don’t even waste effort bringing in a full set of carnival rides or live farm animals, the kinds of things that make local fairs so fun.

The fair itself is just the facade, the excuse used to launder millions into private profit.

A social media post by the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office in Nevada makes an almost immediate claim that Tesla Semi design failure is responsible for death.

…statements obtained at the scene suggest the driver of the semi may have fallen asleep.

The 10-ton Tesla robot ignored a red light and hit two cars, destroying one and killing the two people inside. AEB has been mandatory in the EU for a decade for large trucks, whereas in America it’s still optional. It’s not clear yet whether it failed or was missing on this Tesla, which two weeks before the crash was promoting autonomous capabilities.
