Big fan of this: smart curtains company Slide is shutting down, but they offer one last update which enables its consumers to keep their curtains running through a local API. Great solution for an increasingly prevalent situation in which consumers are left with IoT devices that no longer function because the manufacturer stops existing (see VanMoof, Gigaset, and more).

Ok, I am doing a Ph.D. in Cybersecurity Law and, until today, I had never heard of the Cybersecurity Regulation which apparently has been in force since January 2024. (Not to be confused with the Cybersecurity ACT.)

The Regulation introduces cybersecurity rules for EU agencies, bodies, offices, etc.
In other words: European Data Protection Supervisor for cybersecurity, this time the "Interinstitutional Cybersecurity Board".
