Crackdowns and cure‑alls: Hegseth shrugs legal limits on cartel‑boat strikes, Coast Guard nets 10 tons; AI vows £200m NHS rescue as mesh texting hits reality
Hegseth backs strikes on suspected cartel boats, brushes off legal limits
Pete Hegseth endorsed strikes on suspected cartel vessels and said Donald Trump can use force as he sees fit, even as operations tied to more than 80 deaths draw scrutiny for potential violations of international law. Advocating executive power as a choose-your-own-adventure might play on TV, but when lives are lost, treating the law as a vibe is not a doctrine.
AI home care firm Cera says it can save the NHS £200 million this winter
Doctor-turned-CEO Ben Maruthappu argues Cera’s predictive tools, fed by millions of home visits each month, can flag infections early, cut falls, and reduce hospitalizations by up to 70 percent. The company cites partnerships across local authorities and NHS systems, government-licensed recruitment tools, and a claimed £1 billion-plus in savings to date. Big promises, yes, but if independent audits confirm even a chunk of this, consider it a rare plot twist where buzzwords actually help patients and budgets.
Off-grid texting with MeshCore, great idea, prickly reality
Testing on Heltec V3, SenseCAP T-1000e, and a Lilygo T-Deck found the concept compelling and the setup fussy, with documentation that assumes you already speak fluent insider. In urban conditions, range topped out around five blocks unless you add repeaters, which is where practicality taps out. The kicker, several official apps and firmware are proprietary, an awkward look for something selling decentralization. For tinkerers, sure. For casual emergency use, not yet.
Coast Guard nets 10 tons of cocaine in the eastern Pacific
The crew of Cutter Munro intercepted a drug-running vessel south of Mexico and hauled more than 10 tons of narcotics off the water. A costly reminder for cartels that bulk shipping attracts attention, and that economy of scale is not your friend when the Coast Guard has eyes on the horizon.
