Санкции ЕС против VK и Max, Chat Control в Европе, Grok 4.5 и новый Seedream 5.0 | 2Weekly 53

Tech Talk Channel. 2Weekly #53 – the latest IT news, digital security, and AI. The EU imposed sanctions against VK and the Max messenger: what does this mean for users, the App Store, and Google Play? They tried to block the FirstVPN VPN due to OFAC sanctions – but they disabled the entire t.me domain and Telegram links worldwide for several hours. Microsoft's GDID helped catch the Scattered Spider hacker, the anti-detection browser Noid erases fingerprints for $180 per year (promo code TECHTALK), hackers are taking over domains from neural network hallucinations (phantom squatting). Seedream 5.0 Pro from ByteDance is practically a designer, Grok 4.5 from SpaceXAI/xAI is strong in long coding tasks and saves tokens. Chat Control 1.0 has been extended in Europe, allowing messaging apps to read messages again. Emily talks about the Greek MEP's Pegasus, the Chinese industrial robot centaur, and the Waymo robotaxi that stopped teenagers with alcohol and a toy gun. Plus, the successful landing of China's Starship Long March-10B, Meta's Muse Spark, and the endless blocking of Happ in the App Store.
