ChatGPT Could Be Blocked 'In Principle' in Germany if Needed, Data Protection Chief Says
ChatGPT, the popular AI-powered chatbot developed by OpenAI and financially supported by Microsoft, is facing potential blocks in Germany due to data security concerns, following Italy's temporary ban last week. Ulrich Kelber, Germany's commissioner for data protection, stated that such action is possible in Germany, but did not indicate any current plans to do so. The Italian data protection agency has accused ChatGPT of failing to check users' ages and collecting and storing personal data without a legal basis.

Spotify shuts down its Clubhouse competitor (Spotify Live)
Spotify is going to “sunset the Spotify Live app,” as it believes “it no longer makes sense as a standalone app.”
Spotify instead indicates that it will continue to offer live audio in limited ways on the main Spotify app, such as listening parties, a feature that lets top fans connect with artists in a virtual space.

TikTok fined £12.7m for misusing children's data
TikTok has been fined £12.7m by the UK's data watchdog, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), for failing to protect the privacy of children. The investigation found that the video-sharing site used the data of children aged under 13 without parental consent, and despite the rules requiring children under 13 to have parental consent to use the platform, many were able to set up accounts without this. The ICO estimates that up to 1.4 million UK children of this age used the platform in 2020, and that their data may have been used to track and profile them, and potentially present them with harmful or inappropriate content.

This tweet has been posted from a Chromebook that has Twitter for Android streamed to it from a Pixel 6 Pro running Android 13!
Manually enabled the new "app streaming" feature. There was a bug preventing it from working on Android 14 DP2, so I downgraded one of my Pixels to Android 13 and then got it to work 😁
The grid of icons in the "Recent apps" section is actually a shortcut to open an app drawer! That means you aren't only limited to picking from the 5 most recent apps to launch.
Audio is also streamed from your phone to your Chromebook, meaning you can watch videos (or maybe even play some games?) - surprisingly little latency, too!
You can *technically* launch multiple apps onto the virtual display if you have "force desktop mode" and "enable freeform windows" enabled in developer options, but it's not a good idea, obviously.
You can also launch apps directly onto the virtual display, with an app like Taskbar by Braden Farmer that uses the APIs to do so, or through the 'am' shell command (append --display <DISPLAY_ID>).
And thanks to the VirtualAudioDevice API in Android 13, the app streaming feature can inject audio from a remote source (in this case, the mic on my Chromebook) into an app running on the virtual display! This means your phone doesn't have to be next to you to send voice messages.
