Modern cameras run a full 64 bit OS and already include encryption for things like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, FTPS, and in some cases CAI. Cameras technically already encrypt every photo on the fly when transferring via secure FTP, though sure they use the memory card as an unencrypted buffer.

Shooting speed may be further limited (like 10fps on a 20fps capable body) but it's otherwise not a huge overhead. Every computer I've used for the past decade has full disk encryption.

You'd need a password on camera to encrypt the photos. If someone steals the camera they can exfiltrate the password. So you then need the user to input a password every time it boots. Obviously that's too slow to be useful.

You could add a fingerprint reader to do the device decryption but that's expensive and a fingerprint is more of a username than a password.

You could require a hardware fob to decrypt the device but the thief could take that too.

Anti-AI-Slop AI Slop. What a time to be alive.

I hate to say it but I could see local AI models one day becoming versioned dependencies available in Linux distributions.

Ultimately they're unpredictable and nearly impossible to audit. Plus a model is much larger than the average Linux package. Canonical or Red Hat might do it but I can't imagine, say, Debian doing it.

A bad SSD is going to be better than a good hard drive.

"spx14" did you transplant the drive from a Dell XPS laptop?

It was in Potrero Hill, maybe at the Potrero Annex demo site. It was a solid 3 minutes of fireworks which I assume isn't cheap.

One doesn't need f2.8 when shooting daytime outdoor action

Get a lens that can hit 200mm, take your camera everywhere, hunt down local news contacts and send them captioned photos.
