Disney, which had planned a $1B investment tied to a Sora licensing deal, pulled out after being blindsided by the announcement. Meta faces two landmark jury verdicts totaling $378M over child safety failures on its platforms, with both cases rejecting Section 230 defenses. ARM announced its first physical chip, the ARM AGI CPU, a 3nm data center processor co-developed with Meta. Other news includes Intel's Arc Pro B70 GPU launch, Wine 11's NTSync feature dramatically improving Linux gaming performance, Iono suspending pre-orders for its Windows gaming handheld due to RAM price spikes, and the FCC banning new foreign-made consumer routers from US sales. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
