    Corsair’s new 75-percent keyboard is the confusingly-named K65 Plus Wireless.

    Following Razer and Asus, Corsair is releasing a keyboard in the popular compact laptop-style layout, complete with a volume knob on the top right that brings to mind enthusiast keyboards like the Keychron Q1 and GMMK Pro. Hot-swap switches, Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless, PBT dye-sub keycaps, and up to 266 hours of battery life round out the K65 Plus Wireless’ specs.

    First X, now the EU is opening formal proceedings against TikTok.

    In what Reuters says is the second formal proceedings under the Digital Services Act, EU regulators are looking into whether TikTok has broken rules about safeguarding children and advertising transparency. If found guilty, TikTok could be fined up to 6 percent of its global turnover.

    It comes after the EU opened formal proceedings against X over its handling of illegal content surrounding the Israel-Hamas war.
