Cooler Master, which specializes in gaming accessories, has announced a module called Orb X. This capsule is designed to replace the usual workplace with a computer, it is aimed at gamers, but also suitable for work tasks. The Orb X “multi-functional station” looks like a prop from a sci-fi movie, it makes the workplace almost isolated from the outside world and, according to the creators, helps gamers and professionals “stay productive.”

The model is equipped with a leather chair that leans back, has an adjustable headrest and footrest. Achieve more privacy and keep distractions out of the way with a power adjustable dome. But the user himself is unlikely to go unnoticed on his futuristic “throne”: Orb X, in addition to its spectacular design, also has a customizable backlight.

The Orb X Capsule can be used with a PC, laptop or gaming console, supports a 34″ monitor or up to three 27″ monitors, and has a USB hub with four USB-A ports and two USB-C ports (one of them is at 60 W). The built-in audio system includes two speakers and a subwoofer. The workstation measures 1881x1810x2088 mm and weighs 343.5 kg and will be available in black and white. So far, you can only register on the waiting list for the purchase of Orb X, but nothing has been announced about the timing of release and cost. Cooler Master has previously quoted a price of $12,000 – $14,000, but it’s not clear if that’s final.

The European Commission’s proposal to tax cryptocurrencies, which could be passed as early as this week, suggests that taxes on cryptoassets will help raise up to an additional 2.4 billion euros ($2.5 billion). The proposal, which the Commission plans to adopt this week, purports to close the “regulation gap” and eliminate tax evasion opportunities for crypto investors, as well as ensure that EU member states avoid budget deficits due to low tax collection.

Crypto service providers in the EU will have to report to national tax authorities, according to the draft, which defines crypto assets as “issued in a decentralized manner, as well as stablecoins and certain non-functional tokens.” For the rules to apply, the crypto asset must be used as a means of payment or investment, with possible exceptions for “restricted network and certain utility tokens” (whatever that means).

A European Commission spokesman told The Block he could not confirm or deny any of the details in the document.

Defining a taxable event in the cryptocurrency markets is likely to remain challenging as negotiations over the proposal develop within the EU institutions. However, by specifying service providers in the directive, the authorities will have easier access to the necessary information about users of cryptocurrencies, as the Commission seeks to minimize the “administrative burden” for the industry.

Since the proposal is a directive and not a regulation (as is the case with tax matters in the EU), Member States will be free to decide how to implement the provisions. It also complies with internationally recognized reporting standards for the taxation of cryptocurrencies, as defined in a report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development published in October this year.

The draft proposal includes crypto assets in a series of EU directives on administrative cooperation, which describe how member states should communicate and exchange certain information among themselves for tax purposes. Since direct taxation policies have not yet been harmonized across the economic bloc, tax reporting directives make it harder for citizens to evade taxes in other countries.

The document indicates that some rules will begin to apply as early as 2025, and most will come into force in 2026.
