Amazon’s cheap smart camera subsidiary looks to be prepping a new camera, according to Zatz Not Funny!

Over the weekend, Formula E team DS Penske was caught having installed an RFID scanner in the pit lane that could grab “live data from all other cars” and the team was penalized.
Vandoorne accepted responsibility, says Autosport, but said his team wasn’t doing anything others weren’t already:
We were just trying to check what set of tyres others were using, which you can do with a normal camera. The other teams are doing that, they are using photographers in the pitlane. We found a clever way, or an easy way, and we paid a big price for that.
Vandoorne finished the Portland race in 12th place, while his teammate, Jean-Eric Vergne, placed 11th.

In 2016, Caltech sued Apple and Broadcom over patent violations in Apple product Wi-Fi chips. A federal jury in 2020 awarded Caltech over $837.8 million from Apple and $270.2 million from Broadcom.

The two FCC filings spotted by Zatz Not Funny! reveal a new two-piece open/close sensor (Ikea’s first) called the Parasoll that tells you the current state of a door or window, and its second IP44-rated (splash-proof) motion sensor called Vallhorn.
They’ll use AAA batteries and were tested with Ikea’s newer Dirigera Matter hub. The filings list IoT maker Leedarson as Ikea’s collaborator.
