This episode is brought to you by Rise Robotics. You're probably not thinking about how hydraulics impact your everyday life, but they do. I'm talking about the forklifts that help stock your favorite stores, the delivery trucks that deliver all that ice cream to help you stay cool in this heat. Creating technology to help improve machines like those is at the heart of what Rise Robotics is all about. It's why they created the Belt Draulic. What's so fascinating about it is that it's an electric alternative to regular hydraulics, which leak and break all the time. The Belt Draulic runs cleaner, faster, and makes maintenance a breeze. Oh, and it runs three times faster and cuts fuel costs in half. And unlike shiny new gadgets coming out, Rise Robotics is giving people the unique opportunity to invest alongside big backers and institutions. That means anyone who wants can become part owners of a company originating from MIT and backed by military contracts. Working to build tech that affects industries we interact with regularly, check them out at invests.riserobotics.com.
You can read about the technology, see what they've built, and decide if becoming a part owner of this company makes sense for you. Again, that's invests.riserobotics.com.

Sensitive iPhone supplier details were part of last week's data leak.
Scotus restricted use of geofence warrants. And Tidal is not banning AI music, but it won't pay people who upload it. It's Tuesday, June 30th, and here's a quick look at some of the news happening in and around tech this morning from Engadget.
On top of leaks around its next smartphone generation, Apple has had sensitive details about its manufacturing processes revealed. Reuters reported that the documents posted on the dark web allegedly show information about both components and their suppliers for the iPhone 18 Pro. The leak included specifics on hundreds of parts, such as chips on the main circuit board and elements of the smartphone's battery and cameras. Now, last week, Apple Insider first reported on the cyberattack, which took more than 630 gigabytes of data from India-based Tata Electronics. Fellow clients Tesla and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company also had documents in the leak, but much of the information seems to center on Apple. Tata has risen to become one of Apple's most prominent suppliers outside of China. Apple told Reuters that it is working on long-term security measures with Tata and that it is investigating this incident. The company has typically kept quiet about the specifics of its supplier relationships, and having these details exposed could put Apple on the back foot in terms of any future negotiations with its partners, particularly as it increases prices for many products in the wake of RAM shortages. Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 18 Pro, along with the iPhone 18 Pro Max, and possibly its first foldable smartphone this fall.
The US. Supreme Court just issued a ruling that limits geofence searches by law enforcement agencies, which could have major ramifications for privacy rights across the country. Now, for the uninitiated, this is a relatively recent law enforcement technique in which police tap into the databases of tech companies to see who was near the scene of a crime. In the 6-3 ruling, the country's top court said that an individual has a reasonable expectation of privacy in his cell phone location information. Justice Elena Kagan said that geofence warrants violate the Fourth Amendment's prohibition against unreasonable searches. Moving forward, law enforcement will have to obtain an actual search warrant to force a tech company into handing over geofence location data. Search warrants require probable cause, which geofence warrants do not. The case that led to this decision involves a robbery in Virginia, according to a report by NPR. A man stole $195,000 from a bank, and the case went cold until detectives served Google with a geofence warrant. They obtained location information of cell phone users near the bank for the hour before and after the crime was committed. Google pushed back in a way, providing the police with just three of the 19 people tagged as being near the bank. However, one of those three ended up being the culprit. O'Kello Shatri confessed, but his attorneys argued in filings that geofence searches violate the Fourth Amendment as they allow government entities to search first and develop suspicions later. In this particular instance, the geofence search mandated that Google pour through the data of millions of users. In other words, these people were searched without having done anything suspicious. As for the government, it argued in its filings that location data is not constitutionally protected on the grounds that people choose to hand it over by failing to disable system-wide geotracking services and background app tracking on phones.
