Canon EOS M can be bought for around $100 used and shoot 1440p raw with Magic Lantern. Also it can use cheap old 16mm film lenses with crop mode.

Neat. I wish someone wrote this down in the language of differential forms.

Threema messages of Marian Kočner, a contorversial Slovak businessman who allegedly ordered a murder of a local journalist, were somehow obtained with the help of Europol. [0] The part of his trial where a security expert explained how the police got the messages was purposely not made public.
