More supply chain extension of Iran war. China halts fertilizer exports. How does Trump’s trade war with Canada and Canadian potash fit here for US farmers? Which can affect the E2E food supply chain. That supply-inflation loop.
Confectionery supply chains are bracing for shortage risk as conflict escalation impacts trade routes, freight and energy - pressuring ingredients + packaging inputs. Actions: rapid risk review, alternate sourcing, stronger visibility. #SupplyChain #Confectionery https://t.co/9CBpZa8x6A
This bracelet blew my mind. It's made from layers of titanium powder fused together with lasers, essentially 3D printed metal. This is the kind of innovation that pushes independent watchmaking forward. @mingwatches https://t.co/AWx3ruEAIM
IoT devices extend the attack surface deep into operations, connecting sensors and industrial assets to critical data flows. Weak passwords & unpatched firmware create systemic exposure, so segmentation, encryption, and monitoring become structural controls Microblog @antgrasso https://t.co/YHrFUmPna8

Maersk. Treating the Strait as a long-term situation. The length of the war. How it ends? Iran’s position? Undoing the ship mess in the Strait and Persian Gulf?
the production line is probably around 10K per week at scale. *hundreds* will be initial production next month. $TSLA
