Meta has unveiled an update for its mixed reality (MR) headset, Quest. According to IT media outlet The Verge on the 9th (local time), Meta recently announced the v72 Quest update. This update includes improvements in hand tracking speed, simplified pairing with Windows 11 PCs, and enhanced keyboard display in virtual reality. The update will be rolled out in stages, and some features may not be immediately available. Meta stated that through Quest's remote desktop feature, users can connect by simply pressing the 'Connect' button that appears over the keyboard when viewing the paired PC. This operates similarly to Apple's Vision Pro, but the Mixed Reality Link application (app) must be installed on the PC to pair the device from the Quest headset's settings app. Windows 11 22H2 or later is required to use this feature. Additionally, the v72 update will introduce a 'general keyboard tracking system' that detects all keyboards around you and displays them through the passthrough window while in a virtual environment. Since 2021, Quest headsets have offered the ability to display a virtual keyboard over the actual keyboard location, but this only worked with specific keyboards. Along with this, Meta has improved cursor stability and made it easier to use hands in tight spaces. A 'hand ray visualization' feature, which helps in finding and targeting objects, has also been added. Furthermore, various features have been added, including a People app with real-time call captioning, a direct messaging feature in the Instagram app, and a media gallery app that allows viewing images and videos (including spatial), and screenshots.

Tesla, which has allowed third-party developers free access to its vehicle application programming interface (API), has announced a plan to charge for API usage. According to electric vehicle media InsideEV on the 4th (local time), Tesla announced last week an API pricing plan that developers must pay per vehicle to access data and perform tasks on the vehicle through their apps. Tesla is implementing a pay-as-you-go pricing model that charges users based on total usage. Some items, such as streaming signals and commands, are relatively inexpensive, which is seen as encouraging developers to utilize the data they retrieve from vehicles. However, the API pricing plan announced by Tesla this time drew attention for being priced higher than initially expected. James Gragg, the developer of the popular Tesla app Tessie, said, "At the current rates, we would have to pay Tesla about $60 million annually." Ramin Nasibov, a developer of a Tesla statistics app, also commented, "Tesla's new API pricing has come as a shock to the community. Tesla announced a transition to a paid model late last year, but the new pricing model is extremely expensive," adding, "In most cases, developers have to pay Tesla thousands of dollars a day, while they earn only a fraction of that amount." Tesla has announced plans to offer a $10 monthly discount per Tesla account for personal APIs. Tesla explained that this discount could include data streaming, 100 commands, and waking up twice a day for two vehicles per month.

Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, said on the 9th (local time) that "some people call me the 'Korean Trump'." In an interview article from Seoul published by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on the same day, Lee stated that he does not see himself as 'hyperpartisan', saying, "I am a realist." The WSJ reported that while Lee had been called the 'Korean Bernie Sanders' by critics due to his progressive policies like the basic income pledge, a new comparison has emerged recently due to legal issues, passionate supporters, and influence on social media. Regarding the Ukraine war, Lee criticized the Yoon Seok-yeol administration, saying it "wants to be continuously dragged along." He also praised the explicit goal of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to end the Ukraine war and his clear interest in re-engaging with North Korea's Kim Jong-un. Lee expressed gratitude for Trump’s North Korea policy during his first term, stating, "We have no choice but to be very thankful," and added, "President-elect Trump attempted what others thought was difficult." During his first term, President-elect Trump held summits with Chairman Kim Jong-un and exchanged so-called 'love letters'. During his election campaign, he repeatedly mentioned that "getting along with someone who has many nuclear weapons is a good thing," indicating his intention to maintain good relations with Kim if re-elected. In the WSJ interview, Lee criticized President Yoon's handling of relations with China, saying he unnecessarily heightened tensions. Regarding the martial law situation and the dismissal of President Yoon's impeachment motion due to the absence of the People Power Party, Lee stated, "We must impeach him and restore normal democracy." He also referred to the so-called 'orderly early resignation' policy of Han Dong-hoon, leader of the People Power Party, as a "second act of rebellion" by Han and the ruling party.

Following President Yoon Suk-yeol's declaration of martial law three days ago, the National Assembly's legislative review has effectively come to a halt, putting various economic and livelihood bills, including the postponement of virtual asset taxation and the abolition of the financial investment tax, at risk of drifting. According to industry sources on the 9th, a representative from the National Assembly's Political Affairs Committee stated that discussions on anything other than impeachment are virtually impossible. It is reported that the proposals for abolishing the financial investment income tax (financial investment tax) and postponing virtual asset taxation, which were pending in the Tax Subcommittee of the Planning and Finance Committee, have also been sidelined. If the National Assembly's deadlock continues until the end of the year and the related bills are not amended, the financial investment tax and virtual asset taxation are scheduled to be implemented as originally planned from next year. Meanwhile, Lee Bok-hyun, the head of the Financial Supervisory Service, has moved to address concerns that various capital market policies and bills are likely to drift in the financial investment industry. On this day, Lee held a financial situation review meeting at the Financial Supervisory Service in Yeouido-dong, Seoul, and stated, "The regulatory advancements that the supervisory authorities have focused on must be consistently pursued without any wavering." A Democratic Party official also stated, "The Democratic Party plans to abolish the financial investment tax as scheduled on the 10th. We will not reverse our stance on confirmed matters."
