Disagreements
- Sensor: one 2024-05 message says "MC-H12S IMX477 camera board", while the
  catalogue and Tino's other messages say IMX577; in 2026-06 he corrected a
  similar imx477 to "577, typo". (https://t.me/c/1809358416/81162,
  https://t.me/c/1809358416/81073, https://t.me/c/1809358416/291747)
- SoC naming: the catalogue writes MSC359G; Tino writes SSC359G (and once
  guessed "SSC358?" before correcting himself).
