US Military Disables Ad Trackers On Devices To Protect Troops

Slashdot reader DeanonymizedCoward writes: Reuters reports that the US Military is disabling ad tracking on devices, to prevent adversaries from buying publicly-available tracking data to assist in targeting troops. Military officials say that they have disabled trackers on a variety of computers and mobile devices, according to letters released on Friday by Sen. Ron Wyden, and following reports that commercially-available tracking data has been used to target troops in the Middle East.... Wyden said in a statement that it was clear that the military's efforts "have not been effective at neutralizing this threat." U.S. Representative Pat Harrigan, a North Carolina Republican, said that U.S. enemies "should not be able to pull out a credit card and buy information that helps them track American troops." Rep. Harrigan remains silent as to the larger question of whether the general public should be able to pull out a credit card and buy information that helps them track anyone they please. "The Pentagon said in an email it would respond to the lawmakers directly," Reuters reports: The Army said in a statement that advertising IDs had been blocked on Windows computers "since before 2021" but that Android and Apple mobile devices had only had it disabled by default "since at least February 2026...." The effort to reduce the location data generated by smartphones comes as military officials weigh increasingly strict restrictions on phone use overall. In July, Reuters reported that some deployed personnel in the Middle East could be ordered to surrender their phones amid concerns that mobile videos they were posting to the internet were helping Iran target American bases in the region.

Les films et séries vous prennent pour des imbéciles, et c’est leur plus gros défaut

Entre dialogues sur-expliqués, sous-textes éliminés et consignes de révision forcée, la production audiovisuelle ne fait plus confiance à son public. Adaptées à des spectateurs le nez rivé sur leur smartphone, les créations actuelles cèdent à un nivellement par le bas généralisé qui infantilise les audiences et détruit l'art de raconter des histoires.

IFA 2026 : CHIEFTEC voit large et grand, mais à petit prix

Chez CHIEFTEC, il y avait un peu de tout dans tous les domaines. Il faut dire que la marque propose aussi bien du boitier que de l'alimentation plus du refroidissement, l'occasion de voir en vrai les quelques produits annoncés dernièrement, plus quelques surprises. Iceberg Pro Côté watercooling, on connaissait déjà le nouvel Iceberg Pro présenté il y a plusieurs mois. Son petit plus par rapport à la série Iceberg actuelle ? La présence d'un ventilateur de type centrifuge sur le top afin d'apporter de l'air frais aux composants autour du socket. Une idée originale avec une réalisation très CHIEFTEC si on peut dire ainsi : un design brut et efficace, mais surtout un petit prix puisque la version RGB est à 107 U+20AC sur le format 360 mm. Un positionnement toujours aussi agressif avec tout les plus de la gamme Iceberg, comme une installation simple et des ventilateurs qui se chainent de manière très efficace. […]

Nvidia Launches Free Tool That Links Idle Computers Into a Personal AI Data Center

Nvidia has launched PAIR, a free open-source tool that links compatible computers on a home network so they can pool idle processing power for local AI inference and agentic workloads. "While the compatible devices are mostly Nvidia GeForce GPUs (PAIR works with RTX 20-series cards and newer, as well as RTX Pro GPUs and DGX Spark systems), Apple's M4 chips or newer will also work," reports The Verge. From the report: The key thing here is that PAIR uses your in-home systems when they're idle to avoid interfering with other tasks. And this disaggregated system of computers can work in parallel to chew through lots of processing requests -- which should be helpful for an agentic workflow that breaks complex tasks into smaller jobs. This should prevent large bottlenecks on a single GPU, and Nvidia says PAIR can adapt as devices join or leave the network -- including if a user does something like start playing a game on their desktop PC. [...] Nvidia says PAIR is secured by pairing all devices through a six digit code and then securing the channel via mTLS (Mutual Transport Layer Security), to create an encrypted communication line that's trusted in both directions between computers. The Nvidia PAIR beta is available today, with support for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

2025 mirrorless camera production volume ranking (without fixed-lens compact and instant cameras)



I already reported on the 2025 digital camera shipment market share from the latest Nikkei Industry Report– Fujifilm’s surge is widely attributed to strong compact demand (X100VI, X-half, and Instax models, which appear to be counted in this series):

2025 digital camera shipment market share

We now have a better breakdown of the actual 2025 Mirrorless Camera Production Volume Ranking (without fixed-lens compact and instant cameras) from the latest edition of the Japan Company Handbook Industry Map 2027 Edition (the report excludes non-Japanese players such as Leica):


2025 Mirrorless Camera Production Volume Ranking

  1. Canon: 2.3 million units sold 
  2. Sony: 1.8 million units sold 
  3. Nikon: 860,000 units 
  4. Fujifilm: 750,000 units sold 
  5. Panasonic: 270,000 units 
  6. OM Digital: 120,000 units 

2025 DSLR Camera Shipment Ranking

  1. Canon: 580,000 units
  2. Nikon: 60,000 units
  3. Pentax: 10,000 units

CIPA’s official 2025 total (all participating Japanese makers) was 9.44 million units, up 11.2% from 8.49 million in 2024. Compact/fixed-lens cameras grew much faster than interchangeable-lens bodies and were a major driver of the volume rebound.
