Meta says it may have to abandon the European Union.
The note was buried in the company’s annual filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Meta said that if officials on both sides of the Atlantic can’t reach an agreement on data transfers and warehousing, the company may have to pull its Facebook and Instagram platforms from Europe.
“If a new transatlantic data transfer framework is not adopted… we will likely be unable to offer a number of our most significant products and services, including Facebook and Instagram, in Europe,” Meta said in its 10-K filing.

Intel is probably best known as a company that designs and produces its own chips. But the company has also been investing heavily in its Intel Foundry Services (IFS) recently in hopes of taking on rivals like TSMC and Samsung by manufacturing chips for other companies.
Now Intel has announced a new $1 billion fund to help spur development of chips that may make use of the companies foundry services… including x86, ARM, and RISC-V processors. And it’s placing a pretty heavy emphasis on that last one.
RISC-V is an open instruction set architecture that allows chip makers to use the core technologies without paying any royalties. The architecture’s been around for more than a decade, but which has really begun to pick up steam in recent years, although the fastest RISC-V chips today still trail far behind the latest Intel or ARM processors when it comes to performance (although this kind of investment could eventually close bridge the gap).
Intel says IFS is the only major global foundry that’s prepared to manufacture x86, ARM, and RISC-V chips and that it’s able to produce RISC-V processors for third-party partners as well as “chiplets” which are basically custom-purpose chip blocks that can be put together using 3D stacking to deliver a system-on-a-package with multiple blocks that each serve a specific purpose.
In other words, if I’m reading Intel’s announcement right, you could see packages that combine an x86 or ARM processor and a RISC-V co-processor.
As part of today’s announcement, Intel says it’s joined RISC-V International and announced partnerships with leading RISC-V companies including SiFive, Andes Technology, Esperanto Technologies, and Ventana Micro Systems.
While Intel has been practically synonymous with its x86 chips for decades, this isn’t the first time we’ve heard about the company’s interest in RISC-V. In fact, last year there were rumors that the company was interested in acquiring SiFive for $2 billion, but that deal eventually fell apart.
Observed behavior could be evidence of “prosocial” human-like empathy in primates.

In November 2019, Alessandra Mascaro was observing a community of chimpanzees in the Loango National Park in Gabon as part of her volunteer service with the Ozouga Chimpanzee Project when she noticed some unusual behavior. A chimp named Suzee was inspecting a wound on the foot of her son, Sia. Suzee suddenly caught an insect from a nearby leaf, put it into her mouth for a moment, and then pressed it to Sia's wound.
Mascaro caught the unusual interaction on video and forwarded it to two scientists on the project: Tobias Deschner, a primatologist with the Ozouga Chimpanzee Project, and Simone Pika, a cognitive biologist at Osnabrück University. The researchers thought the interaction could be suggestive of prosocial behavior among chimpanzees and the capacity for empathy—a question of heated debate in the field—and they spent the next 15 months looking for other examples of this type of wound-treating behavior. All told, they recorded 76 such instances and reported their findings in a new correspondence published in the journal Current Biology.
There are between 42 and 45 chimps in the Loango National Park community. According to the authors, the males are much more prone to open wounds than females (with a ratio of 63:13) since they tend to have more aggressive interactions. The wound-treating incidents (both self-applied and applying insects to the wounds of others) were filmed whenever possible, and that footage was transcribed into detailed written reports. In some cases, there was no video footage, so the researchers wrote a detailed report the same day it occurred.

The Beelink GTR4 is a compact desktop computer powered by a 35-watt AMD Ryzen 9 4900H processor with 8 cores, 16 threads, and Radeon Vega 8 integrated graphics.

The Beelink GTR4 is a compact desktop computer powered by a 35-watt AMD Ryzen 9 4900H processor with 8 cores, 16 threads, and Radeon Vega 8 integrated graphics. It supports up to three displays, has a built-in fingerprint reader and microphone and the GTR4 supports WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.0.
For that price you get a 6.6″ x 4.7″ x 1.5″ computer with a Ryzen 4900H chip, 16GB of DDR4-3200 memory, and a 500GB M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe SSD.
The computer also has a 2.5 inch bay for an optional hard drive or SSD and two SODIMM slots for memory, which means users can upgrade the system with as much as 64GB of total memory.
Ports include:
2 x 2.5 Gbps Ethernet
1 x HDMI
1 x DisplayPort
1 x USB Type-C (with data and video support)
3 x USB 3.0 Type-A
2 x USB 2.0 Type-A
1 x 3.5mm audio
The computer ships with Windows 11 software and comes with a 90 watt power adapter, an HDMI cable, and a VESA mount bracket that you can use to attach the computer to a wall, the back of a display, or a desk.
One thing to keep in mind before ordering a Beelink GTR4 from Banggood though, is that Beelink is a relatively small company from China that offers limited support for products sold and shipped internationally, and Banggood is an online store that specializes in offering that sort of item… and also provides customer support that could be described as limited, at best.
Other Beelink products have found their way to more mainstream Western stores like Amazon and Newegg, but the GTR4 is not yet available from those stores.
Beelink also introduced the Beelink GTR5 in November, with a newer, more powerful AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX processor. But that model does not yet seem to be available for purchase through retail channels.
Dmitry Rogozin received a salary of $1.3 million, plus benefits, in 2020.

Nearly four years have passed since Dmitry Rogozin became director general of Roscosmos, the state-run corporation that manages the country's human and civil spaceflight programs, rocket production, and space technology development.
Roscosmos is a sprawling entity, with about 170,000 employees at its various companies, and it is effectively charged with carrying on the legacy of the once-dominant Soviet space program that launched the world's first satellite, first astronaut, and more than half a dozen space stations.
However, under Rogozin's tenure, Roscosmos has seen its fortunes diminish. There have been public embarrassments aplenty. For example, After he previously mocked NASA for not having its own means of transporting its astronauts into space, Rogozin was forced to eat his words following SpaceX's Crew Dragon flight in 2020.

If you want more martial arts TV after Cobra Kai, pick up what Sega is putting down.

For its 23 years of existence, Sega's game series, Shenmue, has arguably experienced a lot of drama. The series began life with a record-breaking budget and industry-changing aspirations, only to founder as a casualty of its original target platform, the short-lived Dreamcast. While the series returned as a surprising, Sony-promoted Kickstarter in 2015, the resulting Shenmue III underwhelmed (and left some backers livid thanks to an EGS-related switcheroo).
Yet the series' first two games, in spite of their dated mechanics, remain beloved for players who reveled in Shenmue's mix of substantial martial arts combat, open-city exploration, and fully voiced dialogue. (The 1999 original's best ideas are better realized in the likes of Grand Theft Auto and Sega's own Yakuza.) Furthermore, Shenmue games always came with an intriguing, detective-like story of family, friendship, and revenge. Forget the game industry drama. Ryo's suspenseful search for his father's killer, Lan Di, was the good stuff, and dedicated fans continue to hope its story might even see a logical conclusion.
I kept all of that in mind while tuning in to this week's Shenmue: The Animation, a new TV series co-produced by Adult Swim and Crunchyroll, in hopes that its season premiere might benefit from leaving its video game roots behind. And now I'm a bit upset—enough to beg Sega: please don't get fans' hopes up with an animated series premiere this good, only to yank Shenmue away from us again.
