Landmark deepfake law aims to give Danish citizens legal control over their digital identity

techspot.com Skye Jacobs 2026-03-06 03:17:00

Denmark has proposed sweeping legislation to curb the rise of AI-generated deepfakes, positioning itself as a leader in European digital rights protection. The suggested amendment to Danish copyright law would grant individuals explicit ownership of their image, voice, and facial features – empowering them to demand the removal of unauthorized digital copies from online platforms. The move comes as deepfake technology grows more accessible and sophisticated. These digital forgeries convincingly

Time Is Three-Dimensional and Space Is Just a Side Effect, Scientist Says

futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-05 20:45:06

A fringe new theory suggests that time is the fundamental structure of the physical universe, and space is merely a byproduct. According to Gunther Kletetschka, a geologist — not a physicist, you'll note, but more on that later — from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, time is three-dimensional and the dimensions of space are an emergent property of it, a press release from the university explains.

I wish you could roll the tray into the riser to hide it, which would go a long way in making the FlexFit look a little more elegant, and could also help with storage. You also can't adjust the height of the tray, so while I didn't have issues typing on a keyboard, I found my wrist cramping up a little when using my Apple Magic Trackpad because it was a little too low.
