The Zagg Connect Keyboard 12C USB-C keyboard is supposed to be 0.1 lbs (I should've known that sounds too light) Actual weight is 1.12 lbs. Off by 91%. Going with the Apple Magic Keyboard next to use with Tails OS at 0.53 lbs.

Google Chrome is ending support for Manifest V2 (MV2) extensions, including uBlock Origin, with the removal of related flags and options in recent Chromium updates. This change, now irreversible, is due to maintenance difficulties, security risks, and technical debt. Browsers like Microsoft Edge and Opera may follow, while Brave and Firefox still support MV2. Users are advised to switch to uBlock Origin Lite (MV3-based) or alternative browsers to continue using similar ad-blocking functionality. https://www.neowin.net/news/google-chrome-is-killing-all-ublock-origin-bypasses-microsoft-edge-opera-to-follow/

This Company Will Add Phone, AirPod, and Smartwatch Trackers to License Plate Readers https://www.404media.co/this-company-will-add-phone-airpod-and-smartwatch-trackers-to-license-plate-readers/ A surveillance company is integrating new sensor technology into automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) to track mobile devices. The new technology, known as SignalTrace, enables ALPRs to capture unique Bluetooth identifiers from phones, wearables, and other electronics. SignalTrace shifts the focus of ALPR cameras from tracking vehicle movements to identifying specific individuals within those vehicles. The integration allows for the collection of personal data from drivers and passengers beyond simple license plate information. ALPR cameras are already widely deployed across the United States, making this an expansion of existing surveillance infrastructure. The technology aims to facilitate the tracking of people by linking their personal mobile devices to their vehicles. By sweeping up Bluetooth signals, law enforcement could potentially gain a more granular view of individual movements. This development represents a significant increase in the data collection capabilities of standard roadside surveillance hardware. The implementation of SignalTrace turns routine license plate capture into a more invasive form of person-based tracking. The technology creates a new method for linking digital device footprints to physical locations through existing traffic monitoring systems.

Japan Plans Social Media Age Checks via Carrier Data Japan wants social media companies to work out how old their users are and one method floated in a new government proposal would tap the growing data that mobile carriers already hold on their customers. The draft enters public comment before being finalized this summer. Japan joins Australia, Malaysia and Indonesia, which already ban under-16s, plus France, Greece and Denmark. At the end of May, G7 ministers in Paris agreed seven principles calling for age assurance described as privacy-preserving. That label promises more than any age-checking design can deliver. A system that reliably confirms someone's age has to learn something true about that person, and the more reliable it gets, the more it knows.

Worth downloading Loupe for yourself and reading all the highlights for your awareness. The shared clipboard counter and the ability for apps to see what other apps you have installed were the most noteworthy for me.
