How a $15 RISC-V Device Built Its Own Lightning Wallet and Learned to Pay the Internet?

Let's name it correctly: competition.🤣

[Claude @claudeai]

Beginning July 20, Claude Fable 5 will be included in all Max and Team Premium plans, at 50% of limits.

Pro and Team Standard users will continue to have access to Fable via usage credits, and will receive a one-time $100 credit.

Demand for Fable has been challenging to predict, which is why we rolled it out to subscription plans in stages, extending access several times as we secured additional capacity.

My favorite moment from the entire URKL Robot Fight!

One brutal kick sent the robot's head hanging loose. and it somehow kept fighting like nothing happened!

I completely lost it. Had to lower down the volume of my laugh 😂😂

EU Age Verification is flawed by design. And it will never be fixed.

Bad rules are created to be circumvented. Red tape for the general citizen, easily evaded by others.

Bypassing the latest #EU #ageVerification app (2026.07-1) with a Chrome extension... again.

Despite 3 months of security hardening and genuine improvements across the board, the fundamental issue cannot be solved.

Anonymous age verification doesn't work.

Very accurate.

EU Parliament Vote On Chat Control

[Tuta @TutaPrivacy]

Yesterday was a sad day for the privacy of citizens in the European Union given the extension of #ChatControl 1.0, allowing for voluntary scanning of private communications.

In light of yesterday's vote, we wanted to remind you that:

Chat Control 1.0 is different from Chat Control 2.0 in that providers (like us at Tuta) are not forced to backdoor their end-to-end encryption for surveillance.

At Tuta, if Chat Control 2.0 is passed we have two options: to move out of the EU or sue and fight it. As our CEO, Matthias Pfau has stated, we would sue and fight for people's privacy. Because for us, undermining end-to-end encryption is not an option.

We will continue to say no to #ChatControl and fight for everyone's right to privacy. ✊🏻❤️🔒

@roxananasoi good point!

#ChatControl

[Mullvad.net @mullvadnet]

Chat Control 1 is back. Despite the European Parliament voting down the legislation twice this year, the Council of the European Union and parts of the Parliament today managed – through an urgent procedure – to extend it for another two years. The law was originally introduced as temporary legislation, so that its effectiveness could be evaluated. At the end of 2025, the European Commission itself concluded that it was not possible to determine whether the law had any measurable effect. Even so, it has now been pushed through.

Some of today's amendments could have stopped the law. And a majority of the voting MEPs wanted to do so. By a margin of 314-276, the Parliament voted to reject the proposal through these amendments. However, since it was an urgent procedure, 361 votes were required. As a result, the majority lost today and Chat Control 1 was passed. The urgent procedure was a dirty play by the Council and parts of the Parliament – it’s a procedure not meant to be used on legislation already rejected by the Parliament.

For now, Chat Control 1 will remain in effect. This means that tech companies may continue scanning communications without a warrant or suspicion.

However, the real battle is Chat Control 2. Unlike Chat Control 1, it would require all providers to scan communications, and to do so far more extensively than Chat Control 1 ever has.

No ChatControl. 🇪🇺 Try Keet - the chat app that knows nothing about you

[Lyudmyla Kozlovska 🇪🇺🇺🇦 @LyudaKozlovska]

The vote is over — and on paper, we lost. Chat Control 1.0 is reinstated until April 2028.

But look at how it passed: with just 314 votes in a 720-seat Parliament — because the EPP’s second-reading trick meant opponents needed 361 to stop it. The bar to block it was set higher than the bar to pass it.

It carried on the last day before summer recess, with barely 600 of 720 MEPs in the room. What Parliament rejected in March passed today — on an empty chamber and a procedural tilt. That should trouble anyone who cares about how democracy works, not just about privacy.

What this means in practice: US tech companies are again allowed to scan private messages without a warrant or prior suspicion — direct messages on Instagram, Discord, Snapchat, Skype and Xbox, and emails via Gmail and iCloud.

The real fight now moves to September, when Chat Control 2.0 — the permanent regulation that reaches into end-to-end encryption — returns to negotiation.

@roxananasoi The other is to hate innovation imo 🫠

[mert @mert]

mass surveillance is coming

&gt; first 5 votes fail
&gt; have another vote
&gt; invoke technicality to require majority to vote AGAINST rather than requiring majority to vote FOR
&gt; do it when everyone's on vacation so not enough numbers to vote against

demonic creatures

Every time Brazil play, our 🇧🇷 servers get flooded.

We assume Brazilians abroad are connecting to our Brazil servers to watch the World Cup for free on the CazéTV YouTube channel.

We've added a bunch more servers to help with that. Please don't break these too.

Hey @EU_Commission, you owe a public explanation after deleting this post today. You cost us Europeans 4.5 billion EUR per year to maintain. At minimum, stay accountable, transparent, and honorable after you deliberately spread misinformation on social media.

[Gheorghe Iuga @gheorgheiuga]

EU is essentially right. Why buy ESPs from outside EU? Support the local chip manufacturers. 🫢

Europe: “We need more hardware startups.”

Also Europe: “Let’s make the €6.59 ESP32 board cost €10.59.”

This is how @vonderleyen and the @eucommission have decided to support early innovation

You don’t grow builders by taxing the breadboard.
