DJI Rolls Out 'Local Data Mode' for Drones After US Army Ban Over Unknown 'Cyber Vulnerabilities'Weeks after the US Army told personnel to immediately shelve all drones made by Chinese manufacturer DJI, citing unspecified “cyber vulnerabilities associated with DJI products,” the company has introduced a new “local data mode” for its apps.“We are creating local data mode to address the needs of our enterprise customers, including public and private organizations that are using DJI technology to perform sensitive operations around the world,” company VP for Policy and Legal Affairs Brendan Schulman said in a press release, per Tech. Watch Hard To Kill Full Movie. Crunch. DJI’s apps use the internet to update maps, restricted flight zones and other relevant data, as well as have an optional feature to sync with the company’s database to store flight data. The new local mode disables all of those features.

It’s clear even by the company’s own admission the timing with the Army announcement is not a coincidence, though Tech. Crunch reported DJI says the local mode was in development for several months and was not originally spurred by US brass.“We’re not responding to the Army, which has never explained its concerns to us,” DJI communications director for North America Adam Lisberg told Tech. Crunch. “.. We announced it today because enterprise customers with serious data security have made clear they need something like this for a while, and the Army memo reinforced that concern for them.” The military has declined to reveal the security vulnerabilities, presumably for operational security reasons—small drones like those manufactured by DJI are already in limited deployment with the US military, and are widely used by some guerilla forces that oppose them like ISIS extremists. DJI also says the Army has not clued them in. But it’s not clear that disabling internet access on a drone’s control app would plug whatever hole the military suspects it found anyhow.

It’s possible there’s a vulnerability in the way DJI drones remotely interface with its controller, or a way of tricking the drone into leaking data to another user without breaking into the app at all. Watch A Shot In The Dark Tube Free. It’s also possible the military sees the risk of a drone being hacked into as minimal, but someone didn’t like the idea of any of its data possibly being sent to a private manufacturer in another country, or of US personnel using a commercial drone system at all. US military use is not Chinese manufacturer DJI’s core target market, though. That the Army uses commercial drones in any capacity at all speaks to a need which will likely be filled in the future by military drones built to specification for use in the field and elsewhere.[Tech.

Snooty, World's Oldest Known Manatee, Dies at 6. I'm Not Crying, You're Crying. We have all been robbed of one Snooty, the beautiful, beloved 6. The South Florida Museum is deeply saddened to share the news that our beloved Snooty has died.…Read more Read. According to Bay News 9, Snooty passed away at the South Florida Museum in Bradenton, Florida just one day after celebrating his 6. Manatees, which are three separate but closely related species of mild- mannered aquatic mammals that graze on sea grass and other plants, are basically nature’s good boys and girls.

They can weigh more than half a ton, but are both slow and curious, qualities that make them vulnerable to human predation or negligence and have tragically led to their current endangered or threatened status across the globe. Snooty’s age was remarkably prodigious, given manatees have a biological life expectancy of roughly 4. In practice they often perish at much younger ages due to all the bad things some humans do to them, like degrading their habitats or hitting them repeatedly with boats.

The IUCN Red List estimates fewer than 1. West Indian manatees remain in the wild. Snooty was around for so long that just two days ago, the Bradenton Herald reported on perennial rumors he died long in the past and had been replaced with an impostor. It unfortunately looks like he was not a victim of his advanced age, however, but instead swam into a part of the enclosure which was supposed to be sealed.“Snooty was found in an underwater area only used to access plumbing for the exhibit life support system,” the South Florida Museum told Bay News 9 in a statement. Early indications are that an access panel door that is normally bolted shut had somehow been knocked loose and that Snooty was able to swim in.”The museum will remain closed while the investigation continues and “staff who worked with him have an opportunity to grieve,” it added. Three other manatees who were sharing the enclosure are safe.

Thousands of people regularly attended Snooty’s birthday parties, and he served as the official mascot of Manatee County. Snooty was one of just four or five manatees in the entire state allowed to receive regular human contact and training, because he was too old to be released, and was well known for loving it.“Snooty’s very important to this community,” museum provost and chief operating officer Jeff Rodgers told the Guardian. He’s been with us for 6.

We grieve right along with these folks. We’ve given a lot of hugs on the front porch of the museum today.”[Bay News 9].
