Arc's creators are building a simpler second browser The Browser Company is working on a simpler, AI-centric browser aimed at a broader audience as Arc is "too complicated" for many users. The new browser, expected next year, will focus on accessibility…
№ 10 - is this the new browser by Arc's Creator?
A website for a browser called № 10 has appeared on the internet which is probably the new browser by The Browser Company that I posted about a few days ago.
Previously, the site had a macOS download link. I somehow got access to the
"Browser", once opened, requested "Arc Safe Storage" access. The About window also includes "Copyright ©️ 2024 Browser Company."
But if you try to create an account, it fails with an error, which is why we cannot proceed and see the actual browser interface.
However, the description of the subreddit r/browsewith10 says that it is not affiliated to The Browser Company. So, the truth behind № 10 remains unclear.

Apple iPhone 16 Is Now Illegal In Indonesia, Ban Leaves Tourists In The Lurch
Indonesia has banned the sale of the Apple iPhone 16 due to the device's lack of the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) certification for use in Indonesia.
The ban is based on Apple's failure to meet its investment commitments in Indonesia, which have resulted in a shortfall of approximately 230 billion Rupiah ($14.75 million).
The iPhone 16 lacks the necessary TKDN certification, which requires 40% of production content to be sourced locally, impacting Apple’s plans for research and development facilities in Indonesia

Iran has banned import and sale of Motorola mobile phones
This decision comes after explosions involving Motorola pagers in Beirut raised concerns. Because of this, Motorola devices cannot be registered with Iranian networks. Retailers are now facing inventory challenges, as products are removed from both physical and online stores.
The decision followed recommendations from Iran’s security agencies; however, it is overseen by the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade. Although Motorola’s devices are now produced by China’s Lenovo, the ban does not extend to Lenovo laptops or other technology items.

Indonesia bans sales of Google phones days after blocking Apple's iPhone 16
Indonesia has banned the sale of Google's Pixel smartphones because they did not meet regulations that require at least 40% of the components to be made locally. This decision comes after a ban on Apple's iPhone 16 for the same reason.
The Ministry of Industry has stressed the importance of fairness among investors, stating that Google's products have not followed the required scheme, which makes them unsellable in the country. However, Pixel phones are not officially available in Indonesia and consumers can still buy them from other countries, but they must pay the necessary taxes.

Russia Fines Google $20 Decillion. That's 2 Followed By 34 Zeroes
A Russian court has fined Google an enormous $20 decillion (2 followed by 34 zeros) for blocking YouTube channels of Russian state-run media (like RT and Sputnik) in response to Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
The fine, which is way more than the global GDP, is "mostly symbolic", and it might make Google pay attention and "urge to lift restrictions on Russian broadcasters", Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said.
Google's Russian subsidiary also filed for bankruptcy in 2022. Google does not expect a material adverse effect from these legal issues.

Python is Now the Most Popular Language on GitHub
Python has become the most used language on GitHub, overtaking JavaScript after a 10-year run as the most used language. This change shows how widely Python is used in areas like data science, machine learning, and web development.
The increase in AI projects on GitHub, which grew by 98% in the past year, has also played a big part in Python's rise. More people are using Jupyter Notebooks.
However, JavaScript still ranks first for code pushes alone and Rust continues to gain popularity for its safety, performance, and productivity

Microsoft has added AI to Windows Terminal
Microsoft has integrated AI into Windows Terminal, which is now available in Canary build. Users can ask for help with commands, fix errors, or get quick code snippets.
The AI is context-aware, and is integrated with different shells like PowerShell, Command Prompt, WSL, and Azure Cloud Shell. However, it is not free, and requires your own API key from GitHub Copilot, Azure, or OpenAI. It doesn’t save history, but sessions can be exported.

Trudeau government bans TikTok from operating in Canada
The Canadian government has ordered TikTok to stop its operations in Canada, and shut down offices in Toronto and Vancouver. Innovation Minister François-Philippe Champagne said the decision was necessary to protect national security.
However, Canadians will still be able to access the app.
TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, has faced criticism for alleged ties to the Chinese government and possible data access risks. TikTok will challenge the shutdown order in court, as it destroys local jobs.

EU Launches Antitrust Probe into Corning's Gorilla Glass Practices
The European Commission has started an antitrust inquiry into US-based Corning, over anti-competitive actions related to its Gorilla Glass.
Corning used exclusivity agreements with mobile manufacturers (OEMs) and glass finishers, imposing exclusive sourcing obligations; offering rebates and using 'English clauses' to match competitor prices. Agreements with finishers also included exclusive purchase obligations and clauses blocking patent challenges.
These actions may have lowered competition and increased prices. Corning can either make commitments or face a fine if found guilty

Grep accessed 400,000 rows of user data, including 75,000 unique emails and names of Schneider Electric employees and customers using a MiniOrange REST API.
