Enjoy the summer. 😎
🇪🇺 European Parliament President Roberta Metsola is trying to push through "chat control" despite her own Parliament voting it down.
Parliament killed it 311 to 228 in March.
In a document seen by Politico, Metsola has invited EU member states in the Council to adopt a first-reading position on the lapsed regulation that lets platforms voluntarily scan for child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
Cyprus, which currently chairs the Council, has put the request to member-state ambassadors for Friday, while admitting in its own note there is no precedent for what is being asked.
Privacy campaigners say the scanning opens the door to mass surveillance and the end of encryption. Reviving a rejected bill through the Council also tests how far one EU institution can route around another's vote.
First Hummelgard, now Metsola. 😠
President vs Parliament: Metsola overrides MEPs in bid to force through child abuse law: https://t.co/HjNk7nJ4kI
Diplomats call this power play “without precedent” when speaking with @politico
Looks like we need to fight #ChatControl even harder. Call your MEPs now. 💪
Congratulations.
You are what the Steam Machine was made for. Not console fanboys, not computer nerds with a superiority complex, it's for the normies who want to get into PC gaming, without the tech savvy.
THIS is the market for the Steam Machine!
SteamOS 3.8.10 being available for AMD machines for DIY Steam Machines is available down below ⤵️
• SteamOS 3.8.10 image is now available
• Can be used on AMD-based systems
• Big step beyond just Steam Deck
• Lets users test a DIY Steam Machine-style setup
• AMD GPUs are the current focus
• NVIDIA support is still being worked on
• Fresh install is the safer route right now
• Dual boot still is not fully where it needs to be
• SteamOS 3.8 adds initial Steam Machine hardware support
• Better support for recent AMD and Intel platforms
• Improved discrete GPU video memory management
• HDMI VRR and Steam Controller wake support are also part of the bigger 3.8 push
If you already have an AMD system or a small form factor PC, SteamOS could let you build your own living-room gaming machine without waiting in Valve’s reservation line.
NVIDIA support is not fully there, dual boot still needs work, and I would not install this on your main Windows machine without backing everything up first or going dual-boot.

The European Parliament has taken a major step toward creating a digital euro, a new form of money issued by the European Central Bank.
>The digital euro would function as digital cash for everyday payments. It is not a cryptocurrency and is not meant to replace cash, but would provide another safe and easy payment option.
> They want to reduce Europe’s dependence on U.S. payment giants like Visa and Mastercard and give the EU more control over its payment system.
>People could use it through banks and approved apps, with some payments working offline.
The proposal still needs final approval from EU countries and institutions. If approved, testing could start in 2027 and a launch could follow around 2029.
