Congress can’t get enough of the Meta boss. 19 members of Congress are now pressing Mark Zuckerberg to explain why he allowed Meta ads for cocaine, ecstasy and other drugs on both Facebook and Instagram. This comes after the Tech Transparency Project (TTP) used Meta’s ad library to find 450 Instagram and Facebook ads that included “photos of prescription drug bottles, stacks of pills and powders, or bricks of cocaine.”
In a letter addressed directly to Zuckerberg, the lawmakers wrote that they wanted details about Meta’s policies on enforcing rules against drug ads and how many times people viewed and interacted with the ads. Congress gave Meta until September 6 to respond.

Dyson is back with another version and its sole purpose is to provide audio and active noise cancellation (ANC). ) for normal use. Customizable design aside, the price, sound quality, and mediocre ANC make for a tough sell.
If you have the right capture card.
The Meta Quest HDMI Link software works with the Quest 2, Quest 3 and Quest Pro headsets, meaning you can connect any device with HDMI or DisplayPort to those VR headsets. Simple? Not quite. To use this feature and connect it to the device you want to view, you need a UVC and UAC compliant capture card and a USB-C male cable to connect the card. Wireless options such as Quest Air Link or Xbox Cloud Gaming are still available and somewhat easier to use.
