TWEAKS AND UPDATES
The Verge: EU opens formal DSA investigation into X in wake of Israel-Hamas war. “X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, may have broken the European Union’s tough new Digital Service Act rules, regulators said as they announced the opening of a formal investigation today.

She was 99.”
Tom’s Guide: I just tried Google’s new AI music generator MusicFX — and it’s the best one yet. “It still isn’t a patch on the output an expert with a trained ear and actual musical abilities could produce with real instruments and a studio.
