Meta is continuing its monthly cadence of Meta Quest 3 updates with Horizon OS v67 which is beginning to roll out now. Following the comprehensive mixed reality improvements we've seen in recent months this latest batch of upgrades is a little more modest, but does bring one big productivity enhancement. As we reported previously following its appearance in the v67 beta, all users will soon be able to rearrange 2D app windows in a more free flow manner. You can have three app windows grouped in the classic hinged grouping, and a further three that you can move around and leave suspended in convenient places – you can see an example of this in the trailer below. There's also a new Theater View mode. Clicking a button on the panel’s control bar will automatically expand its size, bring it closer to you, and dim your surroundings and other windows so you can focus on that one particular screen. To turn this feature on you’ll need to head into your headset’s experimental menu in your settings. Beyond this, the Horizon Feed on your headset and in the Quest app will soon feel a little more like a social media feed that you'd see on Threads or Facebook. You’ll be able to like and share posts from content creators like images and VR experiences. As usual these improvements won’t reach everyone instantly, so keep an eye on the updates page to know when v67 is available to download. Video capture to get an unofficial boost If v67 hasn’t impressed you then you might be excited to hear that Meta did announce a more interesting software update recently – a partnership with LIV. LIV creates a VR capture tool for PCs that allows you to record third-person video of VR apps. LIV’s software already allows developers to record VR games using a PC and an external camera. But with Meta’s help it should be adding support for mixed reality experiences, as well as support for advanced features like hand-tracking and dynamic occlusion – where virtual objects use depth sensors to know if they should appear behind or in front of real-world items. Lastly, it wants to launch a creator kit in the coming weeks that will allow for improved first person and for third-person video capture without a PC. There's no precise release date for that last one, but if you're wanting to capture VR video it sounds like it might be a serious upgrade on existing Quest tools, so definitely keep an eye out for it. https://www.techradar.com/computing/virtual-reality-augmented-reality/new-meta-quest-3-update-adds-facebook-like-social-features-and-a-productivity-boost

Continuing on the march to bringing computer experiences of the past into the modern computing world, one maker has developed a DECstation emulation built into a credit card-sized single-board computer. This is possible because the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller can emulate the late ‘80s high-end workstation. The minicomputer in question was once considered one of the best, most powerful options of its time. It ran DEC’s version of Unix and X-Windows, Ultrix and DECWindows. The creator says the project emulates a DECstation 3000, but I suspect it may actually be a DECstation 3100. My computing history suggests this was the model that ran Ultrix, not the 3000. But I digress. Everything the MIPS processor-based workstation needed to run, which would often sit on your desk with your CRT monitor on top of it, can now fit onto a business card-sized PCB. An electronics engineer going by rscott2049 developed and published how to make it all happen. The build requires ordering a custom PCB and doing some soldering. Rscott2049 has a GitHub repository with the build requirements, software, and instructions. You’ll need to have the board fabricated, perhaps using the recommended JLCPCB prototype fabrication services. When you receive it, you’ll solder on various components, such as the voltage regulator, micro SD card slot, VGA port, and the like. The maker recommends building two boards, one as a debugger and the other as your “production” model. Next, you’ll debug everything, test connections, and install the operating system and software. The maker uses Dmitry.GR’s LinuxCard project emulator, along with his own emulated Ultrix/DECWindows environment. There’s support for a USB keyboard and mouse combo, monochrome VGA graphics at 1024 x 864, and Ethernet networking. At the end, you’ll have a small computer that slides into your wallet but plugs into a display to give you the full DECWindows experience. Relive the glory days of the late ’80s, even including the entrancing Xmaze or Xworms screensavers. https://www.tomshardware.com/maker-stem/rp2040-boards/throwback-workstation-emulated-on-a-business-card-sized-board-that-you-can-almost-carry-in-your-wallet-decstation-emulation-using-rp2040

There’s just three days to go until this general election campaign draws to a close and the fate of Britain’s leading politicians passes to the voters. This is not a moment where the scope of the campaign suddenly widens. Instead it narrows as the parties - especially the two main parties - hone in on the core messages they hope will appeal to the crucial slices of the British public they need to win. If you hear Rishi Sunak or Sir Keir Starmer say something today, expect to hear them say it tomorrow and on Wednesday too. This is not a time for variation but for repetition. So what are those messages? Well, Mr Sunak believes he will still be prime minister by the end of the week. At least that’s what he told Laura Kuenssberg yesterday. Look at the Conservative campaign as it enters the home stretch, though, and it is undeniably crouched in a defensive posture. It is hard to believe that when Prime Minister Sunak walked into the Downing Street rain 40 days ago to announce this general election that he anticipated spending the final three days of the campaign warning of a Labour victory so large that Sir Keir might wield "unchecked" power. Whatever they say publicly, the way the Conservatives are approaching this week shows that they believe the dire opinion polling is plausible at the very least. Campaigning in the Midlands today Mr Sunak is warning that, whatever Nigel Farage claims, Reform UK cannot hope to be the true opposition because they "just won’t win enough votes to oppose Labour". He is expected to say: "Just imagine that - hundreds and hundreds of Labour MPs opposed by just one, two, three, four, five elected [Reform] MPs." Note that this argument takes as a given that there will be hundreds and hundreds of Labour MPs. That assumption speaks to the complicated multidirectional fight the Conservatives face at the moment: trying to stop voters heading to Labour but also using different arguments to stop other former Conservatives heading to Reform and, in other parts of the country, the Liberal Democrats. The candidate controversies of recent days as well as Mr Farage’s claim that the west "provoked" the war in Ukraine have at least given the Conservatives something they struggled to find earlier in the campaign - a way to attack Reform UK. Some Conservative candidates wish they had done so earlier. That is the public conversation taking place in the Conservative Party with three days to go. Then there is another conversation, which ranges from the semi-public to the private. What next? In The Telegraph today, Jesse Norman, a former minister standing for re-election, has written an 813-word article about the election. Not the general election, which in his first line he appears to concede to Labour, but the Conservative leadership election he assumes would follow. Mr Norman moots the possibility that the role of Conservative Party members should be reduced, and that the leadership election should not be rushed. Some of Mr Norman’s colleagues are less focused on the process but on the candidates - though that question would be shaped by who is left remaining in parliament on 5 July. What of Labour? In one respect Labour's task is more straightforward. In England at least, it is fighting only in one direction - seeking to win over former Conservative voters. (Although there are some very quiet jitters about possible areas of Reform strength in some Labour seats, especially in South Yorkshire). In Labour’s campaign they are relieved and pleased that they have made it through the entire campaign with essentially one consistent one-word message: Change. Note that in the final days the message is being adapted, though, to warn voters that if they want change “you have to vote for it”. That betrays more than a flicker of concern that some potential Labour voters may see the result as a foregone conclusion and as a result stay at home or vote for another party. The overwhelming approach is bullish though. For that just look at the fact that Sir Keir kicked off his campaigning today in Hitchin - a part of Hertfordshire which last had a Labour MP six years before Mr Sunak was born. Labour has its own semi-public, semi-private conversation bubbling away too. Publicly it is still claiming, as Jon Ashworth did this morning, that the Conservatives could win the general election. Privately, Labour circles are abuzz with conversations about preparations for government. This has been the fiefdom of Sue Gray, the chief-of-staff who Sir Keir controversially poached last year from a lifetime in the civil service. After 14 years in opposition, few senior members of the Labour Party, be they MPs or officials, have any experience of being in government - a key reason why Sir Keir hired Ms Gray. Interestingly, should Labour win Ms Gray appears likely to be joined in Downing Street by Morgan McSweeney, who has run the party’s election campaign. In that event, expect a potential Labour government to quickly claim that what they have uncovered on the government books is worse than they had expected - an argument the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) has pre-emptively questioned. Labour strategists believe that David Cameron went a long way to securing the Conservatives’ 2015 election victory in the days after he became prime minister in 2010 - when he used the trappings of office to mount a concerted assault on Labour’s record. Expect the same again. Of course, Labour may not get there. Only postal votes have so far been cast. But make no mistake - from the way the two main parties are campaigning in these final days, they both believe this is the most plausible scenario. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c880lmmvzppo

The animal rescue centre run by TV presenter and conservationist Simon Cowell is asking those thinking of sending floral tributes to send wildflower seeds instead. Mr Cowell, who died on 9 June, founded the Wildlife Aid Foundation in Leatherhead and presented Wildlife SOS. He died aged 72 after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of lung cancer. The centre has plans to open a new visitor centre on a site nearby, and is asking for continued donations as part of its "Simon's last wish" campaign to continue his legacy. The foundation thanked those who had sent messages of love and support since his death, and said in a statement they had been "moved and humbled" by them. They added: "For those who wish to send flowers, please consider sending us wildflower seeds, instead. "We will plant these at our new site in memory of Simon, and in support of the local bees, insects and birds that he loved." Mr Cowell's work and legacy will carry on under the leadership of his daughter, Lou Cowell, the foundation said. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cv2gx3zwgv7o

Premier League clubs have already spent more in four days this summer - a total of £185.5m - than the entirety of the January transfer window. Top-flight teams have been scrambling towards what has been described as the 'unofficial transfer deadline day' on Sunday and more deals are being announced on Monday. To avoid charges and possible points deductions clubs must be compliant with profit and sustainability rules (PSR) - and 30 June was a key date. The summer transfer window does not officially close until Friday, 30 August but, as Nottingham Forest discovered to their cost last season, some Premier League clubs needed to get business done earlier. Who has been most active? Aston Villa, Everton, Chelsea and Newcastle have been the busiest since the window opened on 14 June. Villa recorded a loss of £119m in their last accounts, dated 31 May, 2023, so needed to move quickly to avoid any breach. Everton were docked six points last season for two separate breaches, while Chelsea have spent about £1bn since the Todd Boehly-led consortium's takeover in 2023. The majority of those Chelsea signings were recruited on at least six-year deals to spread payments across a long period, limiting the losses per year to help meet PSR requirements. Newcastle, meanwhile, were reported, external to still have a £50m deficit by Saturday morning - so needed to get deals done urgently to avoid any potential points sanctions. What deals have been done? Villa and Everton have done business with each other, Lewis Dobbin moving to Villa Park and Tim Iroegbunam joining the Toffees, each for reported fees of about £9m. Villa have also sold Omari Kellyman to Chelsea for £19m two years after signing him from Derby for £600,000. The midfielder made six appearances for Villa. Meanwhile, Chelsea defender Ian Maatsen, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund, has moved to Villa for £35m. Douglas Luiz’s players-plus-cash transfer from Villa to Juventus went through on Sunday for £42.35m. English winger Samuel Iling-Junior, 20, and Argentine midfielder Enzo Barrenechea, 23, moved in the opposite direction for about £18.5m. Leicester - who are already facing one charge for an alleged PSR breach - were put under a transfer embargo by the English Football League (EFL) in March but that ended once they became a Premier League club, following the top flight’s annual general meeting (AGM) this month. Chelsea have agreed a £30m deal for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, with the midfielder representing Leicester's best sellable asset, given he came through the club’s academy and will generate pure profit. The Blues sold 20-year-old forward Omari Hutchinson to newly promoted Ipswich Town for £20m. Newcastle were busy too, selling winger Yankuba Minteh to Brighton for £30m and midfielder Elliot Anderson to Nottingham Forest for a reported £35m, while signing defender Lewis Hall from Chelsea for £28m. Why was 30 June so important? Sunday marked the end of the financial year in the Premier League, meaning clubs needed to ensure they are compliant with PSR as they submitted their accounts. Clubs cannot lose more than £105m over a three-year period – and even less if they have spent some of that period in the Championship. Deals cannot be processed on 30 June itself, as it is not a working day, so some transfers were not confirmed and registered until Monday. Several clubs are believed to have needed to sell, and last weekend about £75m in deals were agreed, which highlighted the necessity to trade as £100m was spent across the Premier League in the whole of January 2024. Selling academy players generates 100% profit for clubs to put into their accounts, while the amount paid by the buying club is spread out - using an accounting practice called amortisation - over the length of the contract. So if two clubs agree to sell players to each other, especially academy players, it provides a significant financial boost. Why are some deals under spotlight? The Premier League has written to every club after “a significant number requested clarification” following the recent swap deals. Some clubs are concerned that rivals could be looking to sell each other players in order to exploit any loopholes in PSR and therefore limit their losses. There is no suggestion clubs have broken the rules, but they have been told by the league’s director of governance that part of a transfer fee would have to be returned by the selling club if it decides a fee had been “inflated”. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cx724w5v641o

An eerie treasure has been uncovered underneath the floorboards at the Auschwitz concentration camp — 35 well-preserved handmade chess pieces. Renovators at Poland’s Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum found the incomplete set in the prison’s first floor, hidden under a floorboard so as to avoid detection from the brutal Nazi guards who patrolled the cells. Elżbieta Cajzer, head of the Auschwitz Museum’s Collections, said the hand-drawn chess pieces were in a “good state of preservation” despite being 80 years old. Cajzer said the haunting pieces give the world a look at the daily lives of prisoners in Europe’s deadliest concentration camp during the Holocaust. “Several drawings may be a bit blurry, but the images of rooks, pawns, bishops, and knights are still easily distinguishable,” Cajzer said. “Nevertheless, the set is incomplete, and some boxes no longer have any traces of the drawing,” she added. The museum chief said the chess pieces were crafted from cardboard, making them ideal for prisoners to hide them quickly and transport them to others who wanted to play. “We assume the focus was not on the aesthetic qualities but on functionality, easy portability, and quick concealment,” Cajzer said. Given that Auschwitz guards would routinely beat, torture and execute prisoners for trivial matters, it stands to reason that any prisoner caught with the chess pieces would face horrific consequences. Despite the risks, Cajzer said many prisoners would find ways to get their hands on pieces of cardboard, wood or even breadcrumbs to construct chess pieces or playing cards. “Camp prisoners treated mental activities as a respite from the brutal camp reality. The necessary items for the game were most often produced illegally by prisoners,” she added. Jan Dziopek, a Holocaust survivor and former warehouseman at Auschwitz’s carpenter shop, said he crafted such chess sets himself inside a secret attic. Dziopek said Nazi officers would order him to create game pieces for them, but as he completed their orders, the craftsman would secretly build sets to sneak into the prison halls. “I had to fulfill their orders because, under the guise of working for them, I could fulfill the requests of my colleagues, who paid me with rations of bread or camp soup,” Dziopek said. “My colleagues from kitchens and various warehouses purchased these items from me, as they had no difficulty obtaining food,” he added. Dziopek’s trades, however, did not go unpunished by the Nazis, as he said he received lashings whenever his work was uncovered. The Auschwitz concentration camp was established in April 1940 as a prison to hold Nazi Germany’s enemies following the invasion of Poland. https://nypost.com/2024/06/30/lifestyle/haunting-new-discovery-under-the-floorboards-at-auschwitz/

France's political rivals barely had time to digest the results of National Rally (RN)'s election success, before they had to kick-start a new campaign for the final vote. The anti-immigration party secured one in three votes in the first round of parliamentary elections. They have now set their sights on winning an absolute majority. RN leader Jordan Bardella, who hopes to be France's next PM, appealed to voters to make a choice between a left-wing alliance he called "an existential threat to the French nation" and a party of patriots ready to leap into action. PM Gabriel Attal, who may be days from losing his job, says the stakes are clear - to stop the far right winning an absolute majority. Emmanuel Macron, who called the election and propelled France into political crisis, still has three years as president and has vowed not to resign. But the centrist movement he founded came only third in the first round and now finds itself eclipsed by a left-wing alliance called New Po[CENSORED]r Front, as well as the National Rally of Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella. Of the 577 seats in the National Assembly, RN needs 289 to form an absolute majority and put through its programme on immigration, law and order, and tax cuts. It wants to restrict social welfare to French citizens, abolish the automatic right to French citizenship - droit du sol - for people who came to France as children, and prevent 3.5 million people with dual citizenship from holding sensitive, strategic jobs. RN and its allies already have 38 confirmed seats, won outright with more than half the local vote in Sunday's first round. The Po[CENSORED]r Front have 32 and the Macron alliance just two, an indication of how far behind the governing party has fallen. Another 501 seats have yet to be decided and the big three party blocs have big decisions to make within the next 24 hours. Candidates who have qualified for Sunday's second round for the Macron camp or the Po[CENSORED]r Front now have until 18:00 on Tuesday to decide whether or not to withdraw, to maximise the chances of a political rival defeating National Rally. Both the Po[CENSORED]r Front and the Macron Ensemble camp have pleaded with voters not to vote for the far right. But tensions between the two burst out into the open on Monday, an indication of the high stakes of this election and the intensity of such a brief campaign. Greens leader Marine Tondelier was on the verge of tears during a radio interview, when she reacted angrily to a Macron minister's call not to back the biggest party in the left-wing alliance. Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire had said moments earlier that voters should steer clear of France Unbowed, whose critics denounce it as extremist, as much as they should not vote for Mr Bardella's party. Ms Tondelier said for 10 years she had lived in a town held by National Rally's Marine Le Pen, and that the Macron alliance had misunderstood the issue and had chosen dishonour and cowardice. "Does National Rally have a chance of winning an absolute majority in the National Assembly? The answer is yes. Is France Unbowed in the position of winning an absolute majority, the answer is no." What is so unusual about this election is that more than 300 of the local races are run-offs between three candidates. Sunday's turnout of 66.7% was the highest since 1997, which meant more candidates than ever qualified for the second round. But by Monday afternoon a large number of third-placed candidates had pulled out of the race, according to Le Monde, including those standing for Ensemble and the individual parties in the Po[CENSORED]r Front. One of RN's leading figures, Sébastien Chenu, said he was confident that even if his party did not reach the 289 seats it would succeed in "finding supporters" in the new National Assembly. He said there might be MPs keen on preventing the Assembly from becoming blocked, and if that was possible "we will assume our responsibilities before the French people". https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clwy27j9l2go
