Forklift Camera System - The Driver’s Aid for Forklift Activities

Forklift accidents caused due to heavy loading and poor visibility are a major concern today for warehouses/storehouses. Avoiding such incidents has become an obligation to avoid immobilization of work. Intensive training, strategic hires, and equipment upgrades are the essential steps taken, however, ‘visibility’ still remains a big challenge. A solution to increase the visibility of forklifts is Forklift Camera System.

So how do you avoid such incidents? How do you upgrade your technology to serve your employees better?

Wireless forklift cameras, thus answer all your queries. It is an invention that has gone a long way in contributing to the safety of employees with forklifts. Let’s see how: Forklift cameras increase visibility in every possible environment. It is an instrument that can be mounted in all directions of the forklift truck. It assists the forklift operator to have a rear view of the back and sides. This in turn helps with a number of activities such as:

• Double-deep racking

• High and low racking heights

• Reading product and rack labels

• Indoor and outdoor lighting

• Video recording for verification, human resources, management and training.

Types of Forklift cameras:

A forklift safety camera may be categorized differently, depending upon the view they provide. Here are a few:

Carriage Views:

Carriage views from a forklift, move up and down with the forks of the forklift, giving a better vision at any fork level. This can be sorted into three different categories.

Carriage fork level:

This camera is the most exposed in terms of possible contact and damage. It is beneficial for fork elevation, fork insertion, and other limited views through and beneath the pallets for load placement.

Carriage Mid-level:

This comes in handy when a fork-level view is not possible. This allows the operator to see fork depth and side-to-side location more clearly.

Carriage Load Backrest:

These cameras are best suited for overview in front of the carriage, fork depth, and side to side view.

Mast Views:

Safety, fork depth, and side-to-side placement is the basic purpose of a mast view camera. This camera is stationery to the forklift floor, this is because it doesn’t move up or down with the forks, making it less expensive than other cameras.

Rear Views:

These cameras are placed behind the forklift truck, letting the forklift operator see moving targets, safe backing up for congested areas and counterbalance trucks.

Having glanced at the different types of cameras let's point out a few benefits of a forklift camera system:

• A forklift camera helps improve productivity

• It increases the load time

• Helps eliminate trial and error time

• It reduces staffing

• Forklift cameras help increase safety for operators and products.

With so many plus points, a forklift camera system is thus an important requirement and one among the other forklift essentials.

You always thought Haechan was more of a problem than a solution.

From the moment you were paired together as partners in the agency, you had clashed. Where you were precise and calculated, he was reckless and unpredictable. He had a smirk that could infuriate you within seconds and a habit of throwing out snide comments at the worst possible moments.

He was everything you despised in a partner. Every mission with him felt like a battle—except instead of fighting the enemy, you were fighting the urge to throttle him.

For three years, you’d been stuck with him—on every mission, in every briefing, and in every shared debriefing room. Every single time, he managed to both annoy and outperform you. And you hated it.

No, you hated him. At least, that’s what you told yourself.

The truth was harder to face. Haechan wasn’t just annoying—he was good. Too good. He was brilliant under pressure, and no matter how much he mocked you or teased you, he always had your back when it counted. That might have been the most infuriating thing about him.

But liking him? Admitting that you admired him, even for a second? That would never happen. Not if you could help it.

He thrived on pushing your buttons, from his arrogant smirks to his snide remarks. It didn’t matter how high-stakes the mission was; Haechan always found a way to get under your skin. And yet, for some reason, your superiors kept pairing you together. You balance each other out, they’d said. Your focus and his resourcefulness make you an excellent team.

You didn’t see it that way. To you, Haechan was a liability. A walking, talking headache.

But tonight? Tonight was going to test every boundary you had.

The mission was supposed to be straightforward: infiltrate a secure facility, retrieve classified intel, and get out undetected. Simple. Clean. A mission you could’ve completed on your own if the agency didn’t insist on sending Haechan with you.

The two of you had argued in the car on the way there, as usual.“You’re not taking point,” you said firmly, checking your weapon.

“Why not?” Haechan leaned back in his seat, his legs spread lazily as if the mission was just another stroll through the park. “Because you’re reckless,” you snapped. “And you’re uptight,” he shot back, grinning. “We’re a perfect match.” Your jaw clenched. “You’ll follow my lead, or I swear—”

“You’ll what?” he interrupted, leaning closer. “Yell at me again? Go ahead. It’s kind of hot when you talk back.” You glared at him, your heart pounding for reasons you didn’t want to examine. “Inform Jaemin to be ready with the car at the end of the third alley.” You muttered getting out of the car and Haechan just smirked following your suit. “Already did Princess” 

God! You absolutely hated him.

The facility’s interior was cold and sterile, the hum of machinery filling the silence as the two of you navigated the dimly lit hallways. Your footsteps were soft, your breaths measured as you scanned for signs of movement.

“The server room should be up ahead,” you whispered, glancing at the map on your wrist display.

Haechan nodded, his eyes darting around as he took in the surroundings. Despite his constant teasing, you couldn’t deny that he was good at what he did. His movements were fluid, his reflexes sharp, and his ability to stay calm under pressure was something you begrudgingly admired.

As you approached the server room, you stopped, holding up a hand to signal him to halt. A security camera was mounted on the wall, its lens sweeping back and forth.

“Wait for it,” you murmured, your heart pounding as you timed its movement. The moment the lens turned away, you darted forward, disabling the camera with a quick tap on your wrist display.

“Impressive,” Haechan said as he followed. “Almost like you know what you’re doing.” You ignored him, walking ahead.

“I don’t like this,” Haechan said, his gaze darting down the hallway. “You don’t like anything,” you shot back. “Yeah, well, something’s off,” he said, his voice tighter now.

You opened your mouth to respond, but before you could, the sound of boots echoed in the distance. Haechan stiffened yanking you back. You stumbled into him, your back colliding with his chest.

“Get behind me,” he said, his voice low and commanding.

“What—”

“Get. Behind. Me.”

Something in his tone made you obey without question.

A group of guards appeared at the end of the hallway, their weapons raised. Before you could even process what was happening, Haechan stepped forward, his gun already aimed.

The next few seconds were a blur of gunfire and movement. Haechan was quick, his aim precise as he took down each guard with terrifying efficiency. You watched, frozen, as he moved with the kind of confidence and control you rarely saw in the field.

When the last guard fell, he turned to you, his breathing heavy. “Are you okay?” he asked, his eyes scanning you for injuries.

You nodded, your throat dry. “I’m fine.”He stepped closer, his gaze intense. “Don’t scare me like that again.” You blinked, taken aback by the raw emotion in his voice. “I—”

“Let’s go,” he said, cutting you off as he grabbed your hand again.

You thought you were safe when you reached the control room, but the moment you stepped inside, you knew something was wrong. It felt quite too easy to retrieve the intel. The server room was small and unassuming, its walls lined with blinking lights and rows of humming machinery. You worked quickly, plugging in your device to extract the intel.

Haechan stood by the door, his weapon drawn, his body tense as he kept watch. The playful smirk he usually wore was gone, replaced by a look of intense focus.

“How much longer?” he asked, his voice low. “Two minutes,” you replied, your eyes glued to the screen. “That’s two minutes too long,” he muttered.

You ignored him, your fingers flying over the keyboard. The progress bar crawled forward agonizingly slowly, each second feeling like an eternity. The moment there was green ‘completed’ pop up on the screen you smiled quickly removing your device as you whispered to Haechan “Done.” He nodded and carefully stepped out of the server room.

Then there was it…

The first shot rang out, shattering the silence and kicking your instincts into overdrive. Haechan moved like he was made for chaos, his body a blur of precision and control. He fired with deadly accuracy, each shot taking down another guard as you covered his back. But there were too many.

“Go left!” he shouted, shoving you toward an open corridor. “What about you?”

“I’ll be fine,” he said, his smirk returning despite the gunfire. “Just don’t slow me down.”

You didn’t have time to argue. You sprinted down the corridor, your heart hammering in your chest. But you didn’t get far.

A guard stepped out of the shadows, grabbing you from behind and slamming you against the wall. Your gun clattered to the ground as his grip tightened around your arm.

“Touch her, and you’re dead,” Haechan’s voice rang out, sharp and furious. The guard hesitated, and in that split second, Haechan took the shot. The man crumpled to the floor, his grip on you loosening as you stumbled forward.

“You okay?” Haechan asked, his hands steadying you. “I’m fine,” you said, your voice shaking. “You don’t look fine,” he said, his gaze scanning you for injuries.

“Can we save the commentary for later?” you snapped, stepping away from him.

His jaw tightened, but he nodded. “Stay close,” he said again, his tone leaving no room for argument. Haechan’s grip on your wrist was firm as he led you through the labyrinth of hallways, dodging guards and weaving between crates and machinery. Your heart was pounding so loudly you could barely hear the shouts behind you. Suddenly you saw more guards marching in your direction. Haechan shoved you behind a pillar, his body shielding yours as he fired back. The heat of him against you, the sheer intensity in his gaze as he protected you—it made your breath hitch in a way that had nothing to do with fear. “Stay behind me,” he said, his voice steady despite the chaos.“No,” you said, your own weapon raised. “I can handle myself.”

“Damn it, Y/N!” he snapped, his eyes blazing. “Why can’t you just let me protect you for once?”

“Because I don’t need you to!” you shouted back. “Yell at me again,” he said, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper, “and I’ll give you a real reason to scream.”

The tension between you was palpable, even in the midst of the fight. But there was no time to dwell on it. As he took the guards down you both moved ahead finding a potential exit. The two of you burst through a set of double doors and onto the roof, the cool night air hitting you like a slap in the face. The city lights stretched out below, a dizzying reminder of how high up you were. “This was your plan?” you asked, your voice tinged with panic as you looked around. “There’s no way down from here!”

“Relax,” Haechan said, pulling a grappling device from his belt. “I’ve got it covered.”

“You’re kidding,” you said, eyeing the device warily. He smirked, his confidence infuriating as always. “Do I look like I’m kidding?” Before you could argue, the sound of footsteps echoed behind you. You spun around, your weapon raised, as more guards spilled onto the roof.

“We’re out of time,” Haechan said, tossing you the grappling hook. “What am I supposed to do with this?” you demanded, your voice rising. “Use it to get out of here,” he said, firing at the advancing guards. “And leave you behind?”

“I’ll be right behind you,” he promised. You attached the hook to the edge of the roof, your heart pounding as you prepared to rappel down the side of the building. he drop was dizzying, the ground far below illuminated by the glow of streetlights.

The sounds of gunfire faded as you neared the ground, replaced by the rush of blood in your ears. When your feet finally touched solid ground, you looked up, your chest tightening as you saw Haechan still on the roof, firing at the remaining guards.

“Haechan!” you shouted, your voice breaking. Moments later, he secured his own grappling hook and leapt off the roof, the rope unspooling as he descended rapidly.

Your breath caught as he landed beside you, his chest heaving, his face streaked with sweat and dirt.

“Miss me?” he asked, flashing you a tired grin. “Shut Up” you said, your voice trembling with a mix of relief and anger.

The two of you didn’t stop running until you were several blocks away, getting inside the car Jaemin had already parked. Without wasting a second Haechan drove off, getting away from the chasing guards as soon as he could. The car ride was silent, as he drove to the secret headquarters of the security agency. You gave your superior the intel you both somehow managed to retrieve. “I can’t believe this,” you muttered, breaking the silence as you turned around the corner and into an empty hallway after exiting your superior’s office.

“Believe what?” he asked, leaning against a crate. “This,” you said, gesturing around the room. “Every mission with you turns into a disaster. Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to work with someone who doesn’t take anything seriously?”

He frowned, his playful demeanor fading. “You think I don’t take this seriously?”

“Obviously not,” you said, turning to face him. “All you ever do is joke around and make everything harder for everyone else.” His jaw tightened, his gaze darkening. “You think this is easy for me? Do you have any idea what it’s like to stand next to you every day, knowing you hate me?”

You froze, his words catching you off guard. “What are you talking about?” you asked, your voice softer now. He hesitated, running a hand through his hair. “Forget it,” he said, turning away.

“No,” you said, stepping closer. “What do you mean?” He exhaled sharply, his shoulders tense. “Do you hate me?” he asked suddenly, his voice low.

The question hung in the air, heavy with meaning. You hesitated, your heart pounding. “I… I don’t know,” you admitted.

He turned to face you, his eyes searching yours. “All I’ve ever wanted,” he said quietly, “is for you to trust me. To look at me the way you look at anyone else. All I want is for you to see me.”

His words hit you like a punch to the gut, the vulnerability in his voice breaking through every wall you’d built between you.

“Haechan…”

Before you could finish, he stepped closer, his hand cupping your cheek as his lips crashed against yours. The kiss was fiery, desperate, filled with all the anger, frustration, and unspoken emotion that had been simmering between you for so long. His hands gripped your waist, pulling you closer as you tangled your fingers in his hair, giving as good as you got.

When you finally pulled apart, both of you were breathless, your foreheads resting together.

“This changes everything,” you whispered. “Maybe,” he said, a small smirk tugging at his lips. “But at least now, we’re on the same side.”

The mission might have been a disaster, but for the first time, you didn’t mind.

Trump Bemoans the Injustice of No Consequences

This morning, I headed to chilly lower Manhattan to witness the criminal sentencing of Donald Trump. As I walked alone in the post-dawn quiet through Foley Square, where the borough’s courthouses are clustered, I read the inscription above the entrance to the New York State Supreme Court building: “The true administration of justice is the firmest pillar of good government.” It’s a line lifted from one of George Washington’s letters. Just up the block, in a courtroom on the fifteenth floor of the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse, this sentiment was about to be put through an extreme, absurd, test.

What’s a fitting punishment for a President who breaks the law? America has never been quite sure. Last spring, when Trump sat through a weeks-long trial in Judge Juan Merchan’s courtroom, it almost seemed like the rules would, finally, apply to him. Yes, he was the presumptive Republican Presidential nominee, and, yes, the trial was held under oppressively tight security restrictions, and, yes, Merchan gave Trump leeway to viciously bash the court, the prosecutors, the witnesses, and the jury in ways not typically tolerated from criminal defendants. But inside the courtroom the proceedings proceeded. Testimony was heard, evidence was introduced, a verdict was reached: guilty on all thirty-four counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, as part of a scheme to suppress damaging evidence from becoming public during his first Presidential campaign. That was the unanimous decision of twelve of Trump’s peers on May 30th.

Much has happened since. The sentencing in the hush-money case, which Merchan postponed several times during the election season, was like a bit of unfinished business from a time when the true administration of justice was the firmest pillar of good government. It had always been thought unlikely that this case would end with jail time, or some other serious consequence, for Trump. The November results insured it. Merchan was put in a bind: How to resolve the case that had resulted in a guilty verdict without impinging on Trump’s ability to be President? A potential solution presented itself in the idea of an “unconditional discharge,” wherein Trump’s conviction would stand, but the matter would be left there.

The hearing began at 9:30 A.M. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his team of prosecutors were in the courtroom. Trump, with Merchan’s permission, appeared virtually, via Microsoft Teams. (Among other things, the Trump sentencing may be remembered as the apex of the W.F.H. era in this country.) He was sitting next to his lawyer, Todd Blanche, whom he has nominated to serve as Deputy Attorney General in his second term. Trump’s face appeared on screens mounted on the courtroom walls.

Joshua Steinglass, an Assistant District Attorney, spoke first. He excoriated Trump, accusing him of breeding “disdain” for the rule of law, and of putting those involved in the trial in “harm’s way.” “This defendant has caused enduring damage to public perception of the criminal-justice system,” Steinglass said. Still, he acknowledged, the defendant was about to become the President. As such, the District Attorney was seeking a sentence of unconditional discharge.

Blanche went next. “I very, very much disagree with much of what the government just said about this case,” he said. He reiterated arguments Trump’s defense team had made before, about the timing and the motivations underlying the case. He suggested that the votes of tens of millions of citizens should outweigh the verdict of twelve jurors. It was a “sad” day for Trump, Blanche said, and for the country. Nevertheless, he, too, requested that Merchan issue an unconditional discharge.

Then it was Trump’s turn. While Blanche was speaking, Trump was mostly frowning, and looking off camera. Occasionally, he leaned and his face went partially out of view, like a doddering grandfather during a family Zoom. During the trial, he had not testified in his own defense, and in the courtroom he’d stayed mostly silent, save for the occasional outburst of muttering or sighing, for which Merchan repeatedly admonished him. Now he had the floor. “This has been a very terrible experience,” he said. “The fact is, I’m totally innocent. I did nothing wrong.” He referred obliquely to Michael Cohen, his former lawyer who became one of the prosecution’s star witnesses in the trial. “He was allowed to talk as if he were George Washington,” Trump said. “But he’s not George Washington.”

Merchan, sitting on the bench, looked impassively on through all of this. When it finally came time to render judgment, he began by thanking the court clerks, officers, and staff. Then he acknowledged his bind. Because Trump was about to become President, he explained, the “only lawful sentence that permits entry of a judgment of conviction” was an unconditional discharge. “Sir, I wish you godspeed as you assume a second term in office,” Merchan said. Then, the unpleasant task finished, he quickly left the courtroom. The live-stream screens went blank, and the prosecutors filed out. The first criminal trial of a former and future President was over.

Wait could you explain what you mean by the fia examining Ferrari’s wings before the season started? Is that good for us because we’ve already passed it or is that very bad because there’s something already suspicious? The Ferrari speeds with/without DRS are worrying me, that we’re gonna be hit hard by this TD

I will just spit out info as I remember it <3

flexi wings:

active TD from Spain onwards

mcl is expected to be ahead

because already last year they were the most "flexible"

they were preparing for fia to ban it

and they were also finding ways to "hide it"

so they are ahead of everyone else

because then fia didn't ban it

and everyone including ferrari and rbr scrambled to make flexi front wing

and now they will be banning it and teams are scrambling to find solutions

while mcl already expected this last year so they are ahead

also rob marshall who came from rbr specialises in finding the grey areas like this

the reduction in flexing is one THIRD which is a whole lot so it is a big aerodynamical change

TLDR: mcl will be hit the least, rbr the most, other suffering teams will be those with narrow set up window

mini DRS:

once again mcl is way ahead in this and if anyone still believes it appeared "on accident" last year and they weren't even aware it could happen, please i beg you to think again (no advantage in f1 is ever accidental)

for ferrari there were rumours of them using the mclaren trick from last year and perfecting it EVEN BEFORE testing

during the filming day in maranello / the car shakedown, they had a special camera mounted at the car pointing at the the side of the rear wing to closely monitor it

someone already had time to alert the fia about it so they came to maranello to make checks of the rear wing

ferrari was prepared for that tho (hence the camera that was added to see what exactly happens during the cars drive in that area)

(cannot really find a clear pic for this but) if you noticed, ferrari had many more of the little "blue dot stickers" on the rear wing - which are a way to measure the flexing of different parts of the rear wing

fia found no rules exceptions during their checks in maranello

TLDR: Ferrari used the grey area mcl was abusing last year in a little different way and prepared well for it

Ginormosia: The Most Baffling Feature I've Seen In A Long Time

I recently played through the entire main story of the newly released Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time. I have some thoughts, many of them good, many of them bad, but few of my thoughts are as passionate as my feeling that the game's open world exploration mechanic, Ginormosia, is the single most baffling feature I've seen in any video game in years. I'll put a cut below for anyone who doesn't want negativity or spoilers about the game, but if anyone wants to see my insane ramblings, feel free to click through and see the mental breakdown I had attempting to wrap my head around why this feature exists.

A Starting Point

For the sake of full disclosure when talking about this, I want to state that my relationship with open-world designed gamed is rocky at best. While I do like Horizon: Zero Dawn, I don't like Horizon: Forbidden West. I like Middle Earth: Shadow of War, I dislike Breath of the Wild. I enjoyed Infinity Nikki while I played it, I was profoundly mixed on Genshin Impact. I wouldn't call myself a fan of open world games, but I don't hate them either, I'm trying to approach this from a balanced perspective.

I'm going to be breaking Ginormosia down mechanic by mechanic to fully detail why I find the mechanic not only to be bad or unfun, but truly bizarre in a way that makes me ask one massive question: Why the hell is this even here?

Exploration

The most fundamental aspect of any open-world experience is that of exploration. At the end of the day, everything else in these games folds in to exploration, the feeling of discovering something new, getting distracted while on the way to an objective, even the simple act of crossing the terrain is part of the experience. The appeal of Breath of the Wild is to run across Hyrule and serendipitously stumble across shrines, koroks and bokoblin camps while swimming, climbing walls, gliding, riding horses and shield-surfing. In all of these ways, Ginormosia flounders.

Let's start off with the basic fact that you literally cannot look up. Fantasy Life i is a slow-life game, or at least wants to be, and as such sticks to a top-down point of view camera angle not unlike Animal Crossing. For the main game, this works perfectly, but in an open-world environment, not being able to look toward the horizon is a massive hindrance.

Trying to spot the game's Googly Eyes, the staple "giant tower that gives you a map of the area you're in" is virtually impossible until you're right next to the building in most circumstances because you can't look toward the horizon to spot them standing above their surroundings. There are some regions mountainous enough that you can climb up and look downward to survey the landscape, but that's not a universally available solution by any means. This problem is even worse when it comes to the 'Shrines' which are intentionally put in places off the beaten path. They're large buildings that literally glow but you literally cannot see them in the distance you just have to wander until you stumble into them.

Luckily, finding resources and enemies isn't as much of a hassle, as once you've managed to bumble your way into a region's googly eye, they're all marked on the map and you can set waypoints at your leisure. There's also five tiny NPC villages out in the world, but they also get marked on your map so they're fine, too.

Of course, the fact that everything is immediately marked on your map means there's nothing to discover, either. Once you've found the region's googly eye, the only other thing there is the 1 or 2 shrines per region, and if you're really lucky you're in one of the three regions in the game that possesses a hidden "dungeon" somewhere, only one of which is particularly interesting.

So there's not much to explore, but is it at least fun to traverse the environment? No, not really. Your movement abilities consist of: Walking, running, or riding a mount, the latter of which is the fastest and comes with no downsides so you're always riding a mount. There's also climbing, but it consists solely of walking up to a wall and just scaling it with zero effort, regardless of how tall the wall is. There's no gliding, all of the mounts are identical, there's no alternate methods of traversal, no boats, no trains, no nothing. Again, this works perfectly fine for a slow-life game where you're spending most of your time running around streets and visiting NPCs, but if you're trying to enjoy an open-world experience, this shit gets tedious FAST.

The World

So the exploration process is a dud, but is the world itself at least interesting? Well, to be absolutely fair to the game, it definitely has its strong points. For one, the entirety of the continent of Ginormosia is shaped as a big ol' dragon, and that's cool. It's not groundbreaking, mind, fantasy continent shaped like a dragon has been done before numerous times, but it's still fun, I'll give it that.

Additionally, the way the player is introduced to the continent is quite interesting. The player starts in Western Dryridge Desert, the tip of the dragon's tail, a locale unlike any other seen in the game with unique ore, trees, and even some unique monsters. Progress toward Eastern Dryridge Desert, the upper part of the tail, is mandatory, but is prevented by a region-specific mechanic of hot red sand that the player needs a mount to cross, so you set about getting a camel to cross the desert with in a brief sidequest.

And then... there's... well... virtually nothing. The rest of the continent is mostly composed of rolling grasslands and forests, one region comprising the dragon's lower jaw is a series of islands, and there's a couple rocky valleys that make up the rest of its head. The only other places of particular interest are the story-relevant castle in the center and the volcanic landscape, the Moltana Wastes.

After you leave Dryridge Desert and head north, none of the new areas possess unique resources of any kind, only the Moltana Wastes contains any enemies not found elsewhere in the main game. Hell, a massive portion of the world map is dedicated to giving you oak trees and copper ore, the basic starting resources you'll outgrow almost the moment you leave the tutorial area of the main game.

And that unique hot red sand you needed a mount for? There's two patches of it in the entire game and none of the other regions have any regional mechanics. That is, unless you count the fact that only one of the regions actually possesses vegetables you can harvest with the Farmer Life because of a context-less farm that exists in the middle of nowhere with some crop patches up for the taking.

The only landmark I found particularly interesting exploring the entire map was a skull-shaped lake I found up on a mountain and thought was cool. Then I found the same lake copy-pasted twice more elsewhere on the map and it lost its magic immediately.

Collectibles

I think I've made my case that Ginormosia is built on some pretty shaky foundations by now. It's an open world experienced glued onto slow-life gameplay with a largely empty and mostly uninteresting world, but I still haven't touched on the main thing that would drive a player to explore these locales and engage with these mechanics: the collectibles. All in all, there are four types of collectibles located within Ginormosia: Legendary tool recipes, Strangelings, Cashnuts, and Leafes.

Legendary tool recipes are pretty inconsequential, so much so that I nearly forgot to include them in this part. They're just these podiums you walk up to and collect the recipe for a piece of end-game level gear. They're not super relevant as you're almost certainly not getting the materials for them until pretty deep into the post-game and are pretty much entirely extraneous given that you're pretty much all-powerful as is by the time you can make these things.

Strangelings are by far the most important of collectibles in Ginormosia as they actually have bearing upon the main game. For those unfamiliar with the game, Strangelings are magical objects that are actually remarkable people who had their life-energy stolen from them, they act as NPCs and party members back in the base game once revived. There's a Strangeling in each of the Shrines I mentioned earlier and in each of the five NPC villages, plus an additional pool of Strangelings hidden in places around the content, some hidden well, some out in the open. I don't have much to say about them because they're kinda just okay. They serve their purpose as rewards for doing Shrines and visiting towns, and finding the hidden ones can be decently fun.

Cashnuts are the primary currency of Ginormosia. Unlike the base game which uses golden coins given the charming name of "Dosh," Ginormosia NPCs demand to be paid in acorn-shaped currency instead. Now, disregarding the fact that "Paycorns" was right there, Cashnuts are mostly inoffensive but also feel almost entirely irrelevant. Cashnuts are rather scarce, mostly obtained through Area Challenges (I'll get to it) and through selling vegetables at NPC villages, neither of which give more than 5-10 at a time. That said, the only thing really worth buying at any NPC shop are the crafting recipes as everything else is available for the very plentiful Dosh currency back in the main game. The price for these tends to be in the 50s and 60s but without much else to spend them on and the total number of recipes available this way being rather small, it really doesn't take too much grinding to get what you need.

Lastly are Leafes, the collectibles which are somehow the most difficult to find and the least rewarding by far. There's a total of 75 Leafes hidden around the map, 5-6 per region. They're little plant guys and the act kinda like this game's equivalent of BOTW's koroks. Unlike koroks, though, you're not solving a tiny puzzle to find these guys, no, they're all buried in the ground with only the little sprout on the top of their heads poking of the ground and you've gotta pluck them out to rescue them. Now, in rocky areas like the Moltana Wastes or the sandy terrain of the Dryridge Desert, these guys stick out fine enough, but the majority of Ginormosia is positively lush. Verdant plains, abundant forests, sunny valleys, tropical isles, brimming with foliage and flowers. These features make the game pretty, but they also make finding the specific tiny sprouts that stem from a Leafe's head absolutely nightmarish. And your reward for finding these little guys? A scant few of them give unique crafting recipes, the majority of them give low-tier consumables or easily crafted furniture, and a large number have the audacity to give you a singular Cashnut for their release from their Earthy tombs. You do get an additional reward for freeing every Leafe in a given region, but they're only moderately better than the individual rewards. I freed all 6 Leafes in Petalwing Forest and my rewards was ten Cashnuts so I'm basically a billionaire at this point.

Shrines

With the broad stuff out of the way, I want to take a few more paragraphs to talk about the truly Ginormosia-exclusive mechanics before wrapping up this rant. I want to start with Shrines because they are in my opinion the strongest of these mechanics. Now if the name "Shrines" made you wonder if these are essentially just the Sheikah Shrines in Breath of the Wild you'd be dead on the money, that's exactly what they are, they don't even pretend to be anything different.

Shrines can be split into three categories: Puzzle shrines, gathering shrines, and combat shrines. Gathering Shrines are the rarest of the lot, as a single one exists for each of the Woodcutter, Angler, and Miner lives, and they consist entirely of a time-limited trial to fell/fish/mine a set of resources in a short time limit. Combat shrines are the same except you're dealing with waves of enemies on a time limit. Puzzle Shrines are by far the most common, and consist either of puzzles where you have to cross a path of coloured tiles without ever stepping on the same tile twice, or a three-round game of Simon Says.

That's really it. Besides the annoyance of finding the damn things because, again, you cannot look up, they're kinda bland, but they're a fine distraction and a break of pace. The Puzzle Shrines are the game's sole source of puzzles, anyhow, save for a couple bits which are literally just Legend of Zelda Lost Woods gimmicks. I don't have anything more to say other than these are a decently engaging source of Strangelings.

NPC Villages

Dotted across Ginormosia are the five NPC villages, tiny settlements of friendly monsters who you can talk to and do business with. That description, simple as it is, actually makes them sound more interesting than they really are.

Each village starts with you doing a "savior quest" for the town, the majority of which are just "beat up a group of angry monsters" but there's also "clear out this landfill of ore with your pickaxe," and "chop down these trees that sprouted out of nowhere." After that, you unlock the rest of the village which consists of three things: a pair of crafting stations, a tool shop with a completely unexceptional inventory save for a small handful of unique furniture crafting recipes, and a leader NPC with a trio of sidequests that ends in them handing over a Strangeling.

Before you get your hopes up that these sidequests might be interesting, two of the five towns just ask you to beat up a progressively escalating series of monsters while the other three just ask for small amounts of easily craftable items in small quantities. The sole difficulty I ran into was the questline in East Dryridge Desert, because that required an Alchemy recipe I had to go and buy from an NPC back in the main game. Riveting stuff.

Once you've completed the associated questline in a village and bought out the shop, the only purpose they release serve is as fast-travel points, as crafting in Ginormosia is one of the least convenient places you could possibly choose to craft given the lack of available merchants.

Area Challenges

The last of the major Ginormosia mechanics is Area Challenges. At random intervals, a small portion of a region will light up with an Area Challenge, beckoning you on the map to come over and do a simple challenge for a small reward. Area challenges can be anything from fighting a small group of enemies, to harvesting a small group of resources, to fighting a small group of enemies and a boss, to even harvesting a small group of resources then fighting a small group of enemies and a boss.

The only challenge that breaks the mold is the "Watch the Race" challenge which, I swear I'm not kidding, entails you sitting down and watching a pair of monsters briefly reenact the fable of the tortoise and the hare, ending with the hare spontaneously dying of shock and granting you the challenge rewards.

There's also a second type of Area Challenge, the "Legendary Challenge" that pops up after you've completed a certain number of Area Challenges in a single session. Legendary Challenges cause a special legendary fish, tree, ore vein, or vegetable to will itself into existence somewhere on the map waiting to be harvested. These things are extremely tough, to the point that you can only really hope to succeed in these challenges if you're geared up in high-quality post-game gear.

The resources dropped by these challenges are the only way to make those legendary weapons/tools I mentioned earlier, but they're scaled so insanely high that once you can pull off a Legendary Challenge, you just don't need those pieces of equipment anymore. There's no point bothering with these unless you're deep into the post-game.

Conclusion

Finally, I think I've made my case. Ginormosia is a mess of poor decisions, bad mechanics, unfun gameplay, and bland ideas. It's my opinion that it was added purely in an effort to pander to a crowd of RPG fans that have grown to expect open-world gameplay as a default in a post-BOTW world.

In truth, there's plenty more I could've gone over, I skipped over some minor mechanics like mimics and how they're an entirely unnecessary pile of loot that exists solely to pretend that the Treasure Groves (a mechanic in the main game that I am also not very fond of) aren't just an infinite source of resources and EXP. I also didn't touch on how many mechanics are completely disallowed during multiplayer Ginormosia sessions. Ultimately I couldn't cover everything not because it's impossible but because I just don't care enough.

Ginormosia is exhausting to think about at this point, and I thankfully got everything I wanted to say about it out of my system with this post. I think it stands as testament to how bland and disappointing I find Fantasy Life i to be in general, but that's a topic for another time, really. I hope you, the person reading this, have a lovely rest of your day. I'd love to hear anyone else's thoughts on Ginormosia, particularly ones opposed to mine as I'm genuinely quite curious what the actual appeal to this thing is to people who aren't just mega-fans of open-world grindfests. (And why you wouldn't just play Runescape at that point).

I'm putting this post to bed. Goodnight.

A Compact Pi Compute Module Backpack 🍓🥧📸🎒

We used to stock a PiCam Module

that would plug into a Pi CM4 or CM5 - recently we went to restock it, but the vendor hasn't replied to our emails for many months. So, it could be a good time for us to design something that works similarly but with more capabilities. So we tasked Timon

with designing something for us - we just said, "Make the best thing ya can," and he delivered! Check this board out that plugs onto the compute module and provides many great accessories: USB connection for bootloading/USB gadget, USB 3.0 host type A for CM5, micro HDMI, micro SD card for data storage on 'Lite modules, camera connection, and mount, two DSI connectors, fan connect, Stemma QT / Qwiic connection, and RTC battery. There's one shutdown button for CM5 and two GPIO buttons plus one LED. Timon's gonna try to add an EYESPI connector for our next rendering so we can get some I2C/SPI/PWM outputs easily. What do you think? We wanted to keep it compact and not too pricey (aiming for <$30 cost. We'll see if we can get it there) but were able to craft fairly complex projects in a small space.

NEW DELHI (Reuters) -Global makers of surveillance gear have clashed with Indian regulators in recent weeks over contentious new security rules that require manufacturers of CCTV cameras to submit hardware, software and source code for assessment in government labs, official documents and company emails show.

The security-testing policy has sparked industry warnings of supply disruptions and added to a string of disputes between Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration and foreign companies over regulatory issues and what some perceive as protectionism.

New Delhi's approach is driven in part by its alarm about China's sophisticated surveillance capabilities, according to a top Indian official involved in the policymaking. In 2021, Modi's then-junior IT minister told parliament that 1 million cameras in government institutions were from Chinese companies and there were vulnerabilities with video data transferred to servers abroad.

Under the new requirements applicable from April, manufacturers such as China's Hikvision, Xiaomi and Dahua, South Korea's Hanwha, and Motorola Solutions of the U.S. must submit cameras for testing by Indian government labs before they can sell them in the world's most populous nation. The policy applies to all internet-connected CCTV models made or imported since April 9.

"There's always an espionage risk," Gulshan Rai, India's cybersecurity chief from 2015 to 2019, told Reuters. "Anyone can operate and control internet-connected CCTV cameras sitting in an adverse location. They need to be robust and secure."

Indian officials met on April 3 with executives of 17 foreign and domestic makers of surveillance gear, including Hanwha, Motorola, Bosch, Honeywell and Xiaomi, where many of the manufacturers said they weren't ready to meet the certification rules and lobbied unsuccessfully for a delay, according to the official minutes.

In rejecting the request, the government said India's policy "addresses a genuine security issue" and must be enforced, the minutes show.

India said in December the CCTV rules, which do not single out any country by name, aimed to "enhance the quality and cybersecurity of surveillance systems in the country."

This report is based on a Reuters review of dozens of documents, including records of meetings and emails between manufacturers and Indian IT ministry officials, and interviews with six people familiar with India's drive to scrutinize the technology. The interactions haven't been previously reported.

Insufficient testing capacity, drawn-out factory inspections and government scrutiny of sensitive source code were among key issues camera makers said had delayed approvals and risked disrupting unspecified infrastructure and commercial projects.

"Millions of dollars will be lost from the industry, sending tremors through the market," Ajay Dubey, Hanwha's director for South Asia, told India's IT ministry in an email on April 9.

The IT ministry and most of the companies identified by Reuters didn't respond to requests for comment about the discussions and the impact of the testing policy. The ministry told the executives on April 3 that it may consider accrediting more testing labs.

Millions of CCTV cameras have been installed across Indian cities, offices and residential complexes in recent years to enhance security monitoring. New Delhi has more than 250,000 cameras, according to official data, mostly mounted on poles in key locations.

The rapid take-up is set to bolster India's surveillance camera market to $7 billion by 2030, from $3.5 billion last year, Counterpoint Research analyst Varun Gupta told Reuters.

China's Hikvision and Dahua account for 30% of the market, while India's CP Plus has a 48% share, Gupta said, adding that some 80% of all CCTV components are from China.

Hanwha, Motorola Solutions and Britain's Norden Communication told officials by email in April that just a fraction of the industry's 6,000 camera models had approvals under the new rules.

CHINA CONCERN

The U.S. in 2022 banned sales of Hikvision and Dahua equipment, citing national security risks. Britain and Australia have also restricted China-made devices.

Likewise, with CCTV cameras, India "has to ensure there are checks on what is used in these devices, what chips are going in," the senior Indian official told Reuters. "China is part of the concern."

China's state security laws require organizations to cooperate with intelligence work.

Reuters reported this month that unexplained communications equipment had been found in some Chinese solar power inverters by U.S. experts who examined the products.

Since 2020, when Indian and Chinese forces clashed at their border, India has banned dozens of Chinese-owned apps, including TikTok, on national security grounds. India also tightened foreign investment rules for countries with which it shares a land border.

The remote detonation of pagers in Lebanon last year, which Reuters reported was executed by Israeli operatives targeting Hezbollah, further galvanized Indian concerns about the potential abuse of tech devices and the need to quickly enforce testing of CCTV equipment, the senior Indian official said.

The camera-testing rules don't contain a clause about land borders.

But last month, China's Xiaomi said that when it applied for testing of CCTV devices, Indian officials told the company the assessment couldn't proceed because "internal guidelines" required Xiaomi to supply more registration details of two of its China-based contract manufacturers.

"The testing lab indicated that this requirement applies to applications originating from countries that share a land border with India," the company wrote in an April 24 email to the Indian agency that oversees lab testing.

Xiaomi didn't respond to Reuters queries, and the IT ministry didn't address questions about the company's account.

China's foreign ministry told Reuters it opposes the "generalization of the concept of national security to smear and suppress Chinese companies," and hoped India would provide a non-discriminatory environment for Chinese firms.

LAB TESTING, FACTORY VISITS

While CCTV equipment supplied to India's government has had to undergo testing since June 2024, the widening of the rules to all devices has raised the stakes.

The public sector accounts for 27% of CCTV demand in India, and enterprise clients, industry, hospitality firms and homes the remaining 73%, according to Counterpoint.

The rules require CCTV cameras to have tamper-proof enclosures, strong malware detection and encryption.

Companies need to run software tools to test source code and provide reports to government labs, two camera industry executives said.

The rules allow labs to ask for source code if companies are using proprietary communication protocols in devices, rather than standard ones like Wi-Fi. They also enable Indian officials to visit device makers abroad and inspect facilities for cyber vulnerabilities.

The Indian unit of China's Infinova told IT ministry officials last month the requirements were creating challenges.

"Expectations such as source code sharing, retesting post firmware upgrades, and multiple factory audits significantly impact internal timelines," Infinova sales executive Sumeet Chanana said in an email on April 10. Infinova didn't respond to Reuters questions.

The same day, Sanjeev Gulati, India director for Taiwan-based Vivotek, warned Indian officials that "All ongoing projects will go on halt." He told Reuters this month that Vivotek had submitted product applications and hoped "to get clearance soon."

The body that examines surveillance gear is India's Standardization Testing and Quality Certification Directorate, which comes under the IT ministry. The agency has 15 labs that can review 28 applications concurrently, according to data on its website that was removed after Reuters sent questions. Each application can include up to 10 models.

As of May 28, 342 applications for hundreds of models from various manufacturers were pending, official data showed. Of those, 237 were classified as new, with 142 lodged since the April 9 deadline.

Testing had been completed on 35 of those applications, including just one from a foreign company.

India's CP Plus told Reuters it had received clearance for its flagship cameras but several more models were awaiting certification.

Bosch said it too had submitted devices for testing, but asked that Indian authorities "allow business continuity" for those products until the process is completed.

When Reuters visited New Delhi's bustling Nehru Place electronics market last week, shelves were stacked with popular CCTV cameras from Hikvision, Dahua and CP Plus.

But Sagar Sharma said revenue at his CCTV retail shop had plunged about 50% this month from April because of the slow pace of government approvals for security cameras.

"It is not possible right now to cater to big orders," he said. "We have to survive with the stock we have."

SharpEagle: Enhancing Warehouse Efficiency with Forklift Camera Solution

Forklift safety training and licensing should be mandatory for all businesses using this heavy machinery. We can see such machinery being operated in warehouses, to manage the inventory.

The machine can cause a lot of damage and injury if not handled correctly. Forklifts are one of the key pieces of equipment around warehousing and storage operations.

Large quantities are being stored in these locations that would have to be moved daily. Loading and unloading these heavy packages with the help of a forklift requires training and familiarising yourself with the safety protocols.

With any other job, forklift drivers are hired after successful demonstrations and skills while operating the machines. Forklift-related accidents are a real threat around the warehouse. Not to forget the fact that these heavy-duty machines can be a threat to the driver even.

Taking proper forklift safety measures can be the decision that saves multiple lives. Apart from employee safety being a priority, the misuse of a forklift can bring other damages to your business.

These may cost you money either directly in the form of damaged goods or injury to an employee. Other indirect costs include the legal fees and fines you may have to submit. This happens when an employee violates the safety protocols put into place.

Did you know that more than 20% of fatal accidents in a workplace are caused by forklift mishandling leading to falling loads? Forklift driver safety training is necessary to reduce this number.

We can also implement some equipment changes in the machine to get long-term driver safety. You can save valuable time and cost by applying these camera solutions to the machine.

Forklift Camera Solutions for Warehousing Industry

Forklift Camera Solutions are becoming increasingly vital in busy warehouse environments where forklifts operate amidst a flurry of people and supply products. These innovative technologies aim to eliminate the potential for human error, thereby reducing the risk of fatalities, injuries, and property damage.

By installing Forklift Camera Solutions on these machines, companies can significantly enhance safety levels. These cameras enable operators to navigate with precision and heightened awareness, ensuring the well-being of both employees and the valuable products being moved. With reduced chances of accidents, these advanced systems are a crucial step towards safer warehouse operations.

Camera position

They can either be mounted on each side of the pickup forks or in between the fork depending on the usage of the lift. If you have slung the camera between the jaws of the forks, it should be positioned so the fork doesn't damage the camera.

The camera shouldn't come between the fork and the floor while unloading. The cameras can be attached by drilling into the forks or using industrial glue to hold them in place.

There is the option of positioning the camera under the fork, which will give the driver a view of other equipment parts and reduce repeated loading and unloading.

Position of Screen

The monitor screen is placed in all vehicles the same independent of the type of camera being used. The entirety of the screen should be visible to the operator/driver during the tasks. If a driver has a particular preference where they would rather look up at the screen than down, that's where the screen should be placed.

Purpose of Solutions

The intent behind installing Forklift cameras is safety. This is done by improving your visibility so you feel more in control of the machine.

You can have high-sensor alarms installed that warn you of any risky move while operating the machine. Some of these cameras can see as far as 50-60m.

Some added features include wireless operations and a waterproof build. Forklifts can also add a speed limiter since these machines are meant to be driven at a certain speed limit.

This will make it easier to control and manage the risk of running someone over. Alarms can prevent these accidents from happening by sounding before they occur to alert the driver.

Importance of Forklift Camera solutions

1. The drivers can be protected from being legally liable since they would have footage of the incident in case of false claims. There is a limit of days-old footage we can view before it gets overwritten.

2. It keeps employees, pedestrians, vehicles, bicyclists and other products around the warehouse safe.

3. The use of a camera will limit the forklift blind spots by giving you visual access to all angles of the operation. You can see through narrow paths and loaded racks.

4. These cameras can also act as surveillance equipment that can detect any unwanted person from stealing or entering the warehouse.

5. The camera can be linked to alarm systems and auto braking mechanisms to alert the driver of any incoming damage or injury

6. While the forklift is carrying its maximum load, there is a wide area in front of the lift not be visible to the driver without a camera. This will help prevent accidents from lack of visibility even with different light settings.

7. The driver can benefit from the position of the monitor as they don't have to prop their necks up in an unnatural and uncomfortable position. This will relieve the stress and strain on the driver which is the main reason for reduced motor skills and efficiency.

8. The camera system can operate in different weather and temperature conditions thus ideal for working outside as well as inside a closed warehouse. Manufacturers are making the equipment more resistant to any environmental influences. This goes as far as making the equipment shock and waterproof.

9. A better view will lead to an increase in productivity which will save time and the driver will be able to complete more work within the designated time frame.

Different types of cameras can be used, and different mounting positions to choose from. This is influenced by the type of use of the forklift in the warehouse. Setting up these safety protocols can save the lives of your employees and save you from being liable in case things go south.

At 8:22 am on December 4 last year, a car traveling down a small residential road in Alabama used its license-plate-reading cameras to take photos of vehicles it passed. One image, which does not contain a vehicle or a license plate, shows a bright red “Trump” campaign sign placed in front of someone’s garage. In the background is a banner referencing Israel, a holly wreath, and a festive inflatable snowman.

Another image taken on a different day by a different vehicle shows a “Steelworkers for Harris-Walz” sign stuck in the lawn in front of someone’s home. A construction worker, with his face unblurred, is pictured near another Harris sign. Other photos show Trump and Biden (including “Fuck Biden”) bumper stickers on the back of trucks and cars across America. One photo, taken in November 2023, shows a partially torn bumper sticker supporting the Obama-Biden lineup.

These images were generated by AI-powered cameras mounted on cars and trucks, initially designed to capture license plates, but which are now photographing political lawn signs outside private homes, individuals wearing T-shirts with text, and vehicles displaying pro-abortion bumper stickers—all while recording the precise locations of these observations. Newly obtained data reviewed by WIRED shows how a tool originally intended for traffic enforcement has evolved into a system capable of monitoring speech protected by the US Constitution.

The detailed photographs all surfaced in search results produced by the systems of DRN Data, a license-plate-recognition (LPR) company owned by Motorola Solutions. The LPR system can be used by private investigators, repossession agents, and insurance companies; a related Motorola business, called Vigilant, gives cops access to the same LPR data.

However, files shared with WIRED by artist Julia Weist, who is documenting restricted datasets as part of her work, show how those with access to the LPR system can search for common phrases or names, such as those of politicians, and be served with photographs where the search term is present, even if it is not displayed on license plates.

A search result for the license plates from Delaware vehicles with the text “Trump” returned more than 150 images showing people’s homes and bumper stickers. Each search result includes the date, time, and exact location of where a photograph was taken.

“I searched for the word ‘believe,’ and that is all lawn signs. There’s things just painted on planters on the side of the road, and then someone wearing a sweatshirt that says ‘Believe.’” Weist says. “I did a search for the word ‘lost,’ and it found the flyers that people put up for lost dogs and cats.”

Beyond highlighting the far-reaching nature of LPR technology, which has collected billions of images of license plates, the research also shows how people’s personal political views and their homes can be recorded into vast databases that can be queried.

“It really reveals the extent to which surveillance is happening on a mass scale in the quiet streets of America,” says Jay Stanley, a senior policy analyst at the American Civil Liberties Union. “That surveillance is not limited just to license plates, but also to a lot of other potentially very revealing information about people.”

DRN, in a statement issued to WIRED, said it complies with “all applicable laws and regulations.”

Billions of Photos

License-plate-recognition systems, broadly, work by first capturing an image of a vehicle; then they use optical character recognition (OCR) technology to identify and extract the text from the vehicle's license plate within the captured image. Motorola-owned DRN sells multiple license-plate-recognition cameras: a fixed camera that can be placed near roads, identify a vehicle’s make and model, and capture images of vehicles traveling up to 150 mph; a “quick deploy” camera that can be attached to buildings and monitor vehicles at properties; and mobile cameras that can be placed on dashboards or be mounted to vehicles and capture images when they are driven around.

Over more than a decade, DRN has amassed more than 15 billion “vehicle sightings” across the United States, and it claims in its marketing materials that it amasses more than 250 million sightings per month. Images in DRN’s commercial database are shared with police using its Vigilant system, but images captured by law enforcement are not shared back into the wider database.

The system is partly fueled by DRN “affiliates” who install cameras in their vehicles, such as repossession trucks, and capture license plates as they drive around. Each vehicle can have up to four cameras attached to it, capturing images in all angles. These affiliates earn monthly bonuses and can also receive free cameras and search credits.

In 2022, Weist became a certified private investigator in New York State. In doing so, she unlocked the ability to access the vast array of surveillance software accessible to PIs. Weist could access DRN’s analytics system, DRNsights, as part of a package through investigations company IRBsearch. (After Weist published an op-ed detailing her work, IRBsearch conducted an audit of her account and discontinued it. The company did not respond to WIRED’s request for comment.)

“There is a difference between tools that are publicly accessible, like Google Street View, and things that are searchable,” Weist says. While conducting her work, Weist ran multiple searches for words and popular terms, which found results far beyond license plates. In data she shared with WIRED, a search for “Planned Parenthood,” for instance, returned stickers on cars, on bumpers, and in windows, both for and against the reproductive health services organization. Civil liberties groups have already raised concerns about how license-plate-reader data could be weaponized against those seeking abortion.

Weist says she is concerned with how the search tools could be misused when there is increasing political violence and divisiveness in society. While not linked to license plate data, one law enforcement official in Ohio recently said people should “write down” the addresses of people who display yard signs supporting Vice President Kamala Harris, the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee, exemplifying how a searchable database of citizens’ political affiliations could be abused.

A 2016 report by the Associated Press revealed widespread misuse of confidential law enforcement databases by police officers nationwide. In 2022, WIRED revealed that hundreds of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees and contractors were investigated for abusing similar databases, including LPR systems. The alleged misconduct in both reports ranged from stalking and harassment to sharing information with criminals.

While people place signs in their lawns or bumper stickers on their cars to inform people of their views and potentially to influence those around them, the ACLU’s Stanley says it is intended for “human-scale visibility,” not that of machines. “Perhaps they want to express themselves in their communities, to their neighbors, but they don't necessarily want to be logged into a nationwide database that’s accessible to police authorities,” Stanley says.

Weist says the system, at the very least, should be able to filter out images that do not contain license plate data and not make mistakes. “Any number of times is too many times, especially when it's finding stuff like what people are wearing or lawn signs,” Weist says.

“License plate recognition (LPR) technology supports public safety and community services, from helping to find abducted children and stolen vehicles to automating toll collection and lowering insurance premiums by mitigating insurance fraud,” Jeremiah Wheeler, the president of DRN, says in a statement.

Weist believes that, given the relatively small number of images showing bumper stickers compared to the large number of vehicles with them, Motorola Solutions may be attempting to filter out images containing bumper stickers or other text.

Wheeler did not respond to WIRED's questions about whether there are limits on what can be searched in license plate databases, why images of homes with lawn signs but no vehicles in sight appeared in search results, or if filters are used to reduce such images.

“DRNsights complies with all applicable laws and regulations,” Wheeler says. “The DRNsights tool allows authorized parties to access license plate information and associated vehicle information that is captured in public locations and visible to all. Access is restricted to customers with certain permissible purposes under the law, and those in breach have their access revoked.”

AI Everywhere

License-plate-recognition systems have flourished in recent years as cameras have become smaller and machine-learning algorithms have improved. These systems, such as DRN and rival Flock, mark part of a change in the way people are surveilled as they move around cities and neighborhoods.

Increasingly, CCTV cameras are being equipped with AI to monitor people’s movements and even detect their emotions. The systems have the potential to alert officials, who may not be able to constantly monitor CCTV footage, to real-world events. However, whether license plate recognition can reduce crime has been questioned.

“When government or private companies promote license plate readers, they make it sound like the technology is only looking for lawbreakers or people suspected of stealing a car or involved in an amber alert, but that’s just not how the technology works,” says Dave Maass, the director of investigations at civil liberties group the Electronic Frontier Foundation. “The technology collects everyone's data and stores that data often for immense periods of time.”

Over time, the technology may become more capable, too. Maass, who has long researched license-plate-recognition systems, says companies are now trying to do “vehicle fingerprinting,” where they determine the make, model, and year of the vehicle based on its shape and also determine if there’s damage to the vehicle. DRN’s product pages say one upcoming update will allow insurance companies to see if a car is being used for ride-sharing.

“The way that the country is set up was to protect citizens from government overreach, but there’s not a lot put in place to protect us from private actors who are engaged in business meant to make money,” Nicole McConlogue, an associate professor of law at the Mitchell Hamline School of Law, who has researched license-plate-surveillance systems and their potential for discrimination.

“The volume that they’re able to do this in is what makes it really troubling,” McConlogue says of vehicles moving around streets collecting images. “When you do that, you're carrying the incentives of the people that are collecting the data. But also, in the United States, you’re carrying with it the legacy of segregation and redlining, because that left a mark on the composition of neighborhoods.”
