SportsThe Netherlands-Croatia is the first semi-final match of the Nations League in the 2022-2023 season, which starts at 21:00.
The “Tulips” return to this stage after two editions, as in the first season of the Nations League, 2018-2019, the Netherlands was defeated in the final against Portugal.
The Netherlands finished first in Group 4 of the A-League, behind Belgium, Poland and Wales.
On the other side, Croatia debuts at this stage, after being positioned as the first force in Group 1 in League A, leaving behind representatives such as Denmark, France and Austria.
The Netherlands started the year 2023 with a 4-0 defeat against France in the Euro 2024 qualifiers, but triumphed over Gibraltar 3-0 and why it should be noted that the defeat against the “Roosters” was somewhat heavy for the Dutch environment.
Croatia, which recorded its last defeat in the semi-finals of the 2022 World Cup against Argentina, comes with the right “mood” in this match.
The Croatians triumphed over Turkey in the last transfer game and have started the journey to the European Championship Germany 2024 well with 4 points in the first two games.
What should be emphasized is the fact that the Netherlands and Croatia meet again in an official match after 25 years because the last official match was on July 11, 1998 in the “minor final” of the World Cup, France 1998, a challenge which ended 2-1 in favor of the Croats.
The two teams then played a friendly in February 2008, with the Netherlands winning 3-0.

TechnologyFormer Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has alleged that the Indian government threatened to shut the platform and raid employees’ houses in the country.
In an interview with a US-based YouTube channel, Mr Dorsey said India requested removal of several tweets and accounts linked to the farmers’ protest in 2020.
Twitter was also asked to censor journalists critical of the government, he alleged.
India has denied the allegations and accused Twitter of violating laws.
“This is an outright lie… Perhaps an attempt to brush out that very dubious period of Twitter’s history,” federal minister Rajeev Chandrashekar tweeted on Tuesday.
“No one went to jail nor was Twitter ‘shutdown’. Dorsey’s Twitter regime had a problem accepting the sovereignty of Indian law. It behaved as if the laws of India did not apply to it.”
Mr Dorsey’s comments – made to the American news series Breaking Points – are the latest in an already troubled relationship between Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government and Twitter.
It also comes at a time when the platform has been caught up in an intensifying debate on its role in supporting principles of free speech amid demands in several countries to control Twittter’s influence.
Mr Dorsey quit as the Twitter CEO in 2021 and the social media platform was purchased by billionaire Elon Musk in 2022.
In the interview, which was uploaded on YouTube on Monday, Mr Dorsey said “countries like India and Turkey made many requests to us to take down journalists’ accounts that give tactile information and remove them from the platform”.
He added that he was “surprised at the level of engagement and requests” by governments of the world to censor content on the platform during his time.
“India, for example, was a country that had many requests around the farmers’ protests, around particular journalists that were critical of the government,” he said.
“It manifested in ways such as: ‘we will shut Twitter down in India’ – which is a very large market for us; ‘we will raid the homes of your employees,’ which they did; ‘we will shut down your offices if you don’t follow suit.’ And this is India, a democratic country,” Mr Dorsey told the show’s hosts Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti.
At the height of the farmers’ protests against a series of agriculture reform laws, the government had asked Twitter to remove tweets it believed that had used an incendiary hashtag, and accounts it alleged were used by Pakistan-backed Sikh separatist groups.
The request came after the largely peaceful protest had been jolted by violence on 26 January 2021, which left one person dead and hundreds of policemen injured.
Twitter had first blocked some 250 accounts, including those of a news magazine and activists and organisations associated with supporting the year-long protests on the outskirts of capital Delhi.
But six hours later, Twitter restored the accounts, citing “insufficient justification” for continuing the suspension.
The Indian government immediately ordered Twitter to block the accounts again and told the company’s employees in India that legal action would be taken – which could be up to seven years in prison – if they did not comply.
Twitter responded, saying it would not block accounts belonging to media companies, journalists, activists and politicians because that would “violate their fundamental right to free expression under the Indian law”.
Relations between Twitter and Mr Modi’s government have been downhill ever since.
Critics say that at the heart of this is a new internet law that puts social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook under the direct supervision of the government. The government says the rules are meant to tackle misinformation and hate speech, but experts worry it would lead to censorship.
Mr Musk, who succeeded Mr Dorsey, said in April that “rules in India for what can appear on social media are quite strict”.
In Monday’s interview, Mr Dorsey compared India’s actions to those by governments in Turkey and Nigeria, which have briefly restricted the platform in the past.
“Turkey is very similar [to India], we had so many requests from Turkey. We fought Turkey in their courts and often won, but they threatened to shut us down constantly,” he said.
“Nigeria is another example… The situation was such that we could not even put our employees on the ground in the country out of fear of what the government might do to them.”

Jamal Murray, who finished with 14 points and Porter Jr. with 16, were decisive for the Nuggets. The rivals from Florida could not do anything against these numbers.
Miami surrendered another final, handing the title to Denver, who celebrated for the first time in 47 years of history.

TechnologyNASA has launched a spacecraft as part of a mission in a bid to avert a “potential internet apocalypse” that could leave people without internet access for months.
Scientists have warned of the potential impact of an upcoming solar storm, commonly referred to as the “internet apocalypse”, which could strike within the next decade.
The spacecraft, which launched in 2018, made a remarkable journey that brought it close to the surface of the sun, where the solar wind is generated.
According to the report, the solar wind consists of a continuous stream of charged particles emanating from the sun’s outermost atmosphere, known as the corona.
Despite the harsh conditions of heat and intense radiation, the Parker Solar Probe persevered in gathering vital information about the workings of the sun.
University of California Professor Stuart Bale, who served as lead author of the study, explained the importance of understanding the solar wind.
“The winds carry a lot of information from the sun to Earth. So understanding the mechanism behind the solar wind is important for practical reasons on Earth,” Bale was quoted as saying.
“This will affect our ability to understand how the sun emits energy and drives geomagnetic storms — which are a threat to our communications networks,” he added.
Such an event could cause people to lose internet access for months or even years, rendering satellites and power lines useless.

EntertainmentThe filming of “Gladiator 2” was stopped after a serious accident in Morocco. Six crew members had to be rushed to hospital when a huge explosion started a dangerous fire.
So far, there is no further information about the accident, but everything seems to indicate that it was a special effects attempt gone wrong. Others report that it happened during the filming of a dangerous scene.
Several crew members were injured on the set of ‘GLADIATOR 2’ while filming a stunt sequence.The crew members have all been treated and experienced non-life-threatening injuries.
As foreign media reports, there were many injured in the shooting group, while the production company, Paramount Pictures, has officially commented on the event.
“During the filming of a scheduled scene, an accident occurred in which several members of the production crew sustained non-life-threatening injuries. Medical and security teams on the ground were able to act quickly so that those affected immediately received the necessary care. All of them are in stable condition and continue to receive medical treatment,” Paramount Pictures said.
Meanwhile, filming has been suspended indefinitely.

BusinessUS technology company Google has made an official announcement that shows a change in its attitude towards remote working, joining a growing list of big tech companies returning to collaborative working policies.
Google’s Chief Human Resources Officer, Fiona Cicconi, outlined the new directive in an internal memo obtained by the media this week, emphasizing the importance of an office presence in fostering connection within the Google community.
Going forward, telecommuting requests will only be considered in exceptional circumstances, where non-remote employees are expected to spend three days per week in the office, monitored through badge swipes that may affect performance reviews.
The decision by big tech companies, which own the resources and tools to facilitate effective remote work, signals a departure from the widespread adoption of remote work policies seen during the pandemic.
These companies, which were at the forefront of enabling remote work globally, now seem to have changed their faith in its efficacy.
The change is in line with other major tech firms that have recently implemented stricter policies, effectively reversing their previous support for remote work.
Tech companies were once pioneers in offering flexible work arrangements, using enticing office perks to attract top talent.
However, when the pandemic hit the US, those same companies quickly switched to remote work.They became active recruiters of remote workers until last year, when industry leaders like Apple, Amazon, and Meta began scaling back their remote work policies.

Breaking News What's HotHistory buffs say they think they have found the secret location of the “Amber Room”, after discovering a railway and wagons in a former Nazi bunker in Poland, according to foreign media.
The Historical and Research Association “Jaćwież” came across the surprising discovery during the excavation in the “Mamerki” bunker complex in northern Poland. The narrow gauge railway tracks were discovered 5 meters below the surface, in an area that had recently been cleared of trees.
The complex was the headquarters of the Supreme Command of Hitler’s German Army and is located just a few kilometers from the “Wolf’s Den” bunker.
Although it was known that a railway line ran from Mamerki to the “Wolf’s Lair”, there was no official document showing that it lay within the complex itself.
“This is a big surprise as we didn’t know there was a railway inside the complex. Could it be the golden train with the amber room? We will find out soon”, said Bartlomiej Plebańczyk from the Mamerki museum.
The chamber created for Tsar Peter the Great in the 18th century, consisting of exactly 6 tons of elaborately carved amber and gold decorations, was dismantled by the Nazi forces that had occupied the country and transported to Koninsberg, which is now the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad, where it was publicly exhibited.
But, immediately after the end of the war, the elements of the room disappeared almost completely, although some fragments were found in Germany during the 90s. A copy of the “Amber Room” was created in St. Petersburg in 2003, after several decades of work.
For decades, “treasure hunters” have searched Europe for lost riches, but to no avail.

SportsWhen there are a few hours left before the big final of Istanbul, Inter-Manchester City, the two coaches are making the final calculations to choose the 11 starters they will throw on the field.
The English team, which is looking for the first trophy in the history of the Champions League, does not have any concerns regarding the organic of the team. Ederson will return in goal, while the rest of the squad will most likely be the same as the one that beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final. Of course, the attention is on Erling Haaland who, in addition to the trophy, has the chance to deepen his records even more.
Meanwhile, in the black and white camp, there are two players in doubt, Mkitaryan and Korrea, whom coach Inzaghi will trust until the end. Most likely, the attack will consist of a former player like Edin Dzeko, who is on the edge with Lukaku, while the world champion with Argentina, Lautaro Martinez, plays on his side. There is also a runoff in the midfield where the dilemma is Brozovic or Mkhytarian, only if the Armenian manages to be ready for the Italian coach. The 34-year-old returned to the last session that the group did in Milan and his condition will be monitored in the following hours.
Spectacle is guaranteed. Two teams that have passed many great teams to reach the Istanbul final and are now only 90 minutes away from the biggest success, the Champions League trophy. The match will be played this Saturday starting at 21:00.

Technologyhe Mac Studio just got its first update, and it’s a screamer.
The desktop machine now comes with Apple’s new M2 Ultra chip — the “most powerful chip ever created for a personal computer,” according to Apple.
The new chip, based on Apple silicon, triples the performance of the previous M1 machine.
The new machine is a welcome update to the Mac Studio, which Apple first introduced in March 2022 as a modular, expandable computer for “studio” professionals. Although not as upgradeable as some customers might like, the machine has generally been very well-received. Reviewers praised its power, speed, quiet operation, and good connectivity options. There have been some complaints of noise issues, but it’s a popular choice for a lot of setups.
The new Mac Studio retains the previous design, but now comes with M2 Max or M2 Ultra chips. The M2 Ultra effectively doubles the M2 Max chip, and the new machine is up to three-times faster than the older M1-based Mac Studio.
Apple touted the new machine’s “incredible” performance and connectivity. Based on the M2 Ultra chip, the new machine runs rings around its predecessors.
The new chip features a 24-core CPU; a 76-core GPU; and a 32-core neural engine. It can support and a whopping 192-Gbytes of unified memory.
“It’s the most powerful chip ever created for a personal computer,” said Apple’s Jennifer Munn, Director, Engineering Program Management, referring to the new M2 Ultra chip.
“It is a monster of a chip,” said added.
The new Mac Studio now features a higher-bandwidth HDMI port that can run an 8K display at 240Hz. On the back are four Thunderbolt 4 ports, a 10 Gigabit Ethernet port, HDMI, and two USB-A ports. On the front, it has two USB-C ports and an SD card slot.
The M2 Max Mac Studio starts at $1,999 ($1,799 for education), the same pricing as its predecessor. The M2 Ultra Mac Studio starts at $3,999. Both versions are available to order today from Apple’s website. They will be available in Apple’s retail store and authorized resellers next week, beginning Tuesday, June 13.
