-- Canon ink cartridges become an unexpected chip shortage victim
Camera and printer producer Canon has run into the situation where it has to send printer cartridges out without its usual collection of chips.
As spotted by Mario W on Twitter, this means Canon is producing ink cartridges without what he refers to as "copy-protection measures," and is starting to contact customers about a fix.

-- Rolls-Royce CEO Claims COVID Deaths 'Quite Massively' Helped Sales: 'Life Can Be Short'
Rolls-Royce sales are booming in large part due to the devastation of the COVID-19 pandemic, said the CEO of the ultra-luxury car brand.
"Quite a lot of people witnessed people in their community dying from COVID, that makes them think life can be short,
and you'd better live now than postpone it to a later date, that also has helped [Rolls-Royce sales] quite massively
As of Tuesday ( 20220111 ) , at least 5,495,238 people worldwide have died of COVID, more than 839,308 of them were in the U.S.
Rolls-Royce sold 5,586 vehicles in 2021, a 49 percent increase from 2020.
The cost of a 2021 Rolls-Royce Ghost starts at $314,000, while its most expensive model, the 2022 Phantom, starts at $460,000
Rolls-Royce said its average customer is now 43 years old

This is but one area thieves have targeted trains.
We were told this area was just cleaned up 30 days ago so what you see is all within the last month
