I was hoping for this.
Apples new App-Store rules seemed to mock the intent of the Digital Markets Act.

A lot of people seem to to think that bedslingers are inherently worse than core xy kinematics.
Core xy is definitely more compact.
In return the belts are longerz tightening them more complex (x and y can become unaligned).
Core xy can be easier for input shaping, as only the z axis mass changes.

No direct experience here. A friend has one, he’s quite experienced with printing, so I assume he got it dialled in well. Recently he talked about a small mandaloroan helmet he printed (mostly grey, but black in the parts that really would be a hole). About 10cm high. He had about the same amount of filament in waste as actual print.

I’m not convinced that mobile is a good platform for longer-term games.
want to spend 5-10 minutes waiting on the bus while flapping a bird or crushing some candy? makes sense to me.
Resident Evil? I’m not so sure.
On the other hand, Fortnite seems to work, so what do I know?

Anyway, I think Phones have become powerful enough that they should be able to get docked to a Desk/TV. Then it makes more sense to me again, a Phone could be the only computing device most people use

Or UV filament with a UV light

It would be one of the worst displays you’ve ever seen, if not the worst.

why would it be better for nintendo to not make millions of people buy it twice?

They moved the storage of encryption keys for Chinese users to servers in China instead of shutting down iMessage and Facetime. Quite the different response compared to here.

I was assuming Apple was posturing until they’d actually have to do something.
They could well have postured in China as well, before backtracking. I have no Idea if that happened, but it seems reasonable from a PR vs Legal vs business development standpoint.

just because they propably could afford to lose the money, doesn’t mean that they will.

wait what?

the primary cause is loan-loss provisions which are when a bank has to compensate for greater than expected unpaid credit card balances and loans.

Sooo Apple Card users used more credit on their credit cards than expected?
I thought that was good for banks? Don’t you have to pay interest on that? I’m not entirely sure, because I’m not used to the (in my view primarily american) credit card system of “paying off credit cards”, which I know mostly from TV.
The only way this makes sense seems to be if you don’t pay any interest if you return the money in a certain timeframe. That would mean the Bank effectively has to eat the interest-cost, and could have more cost.

$659 million in quarterly revenue
…
Goldman had $544 million in credit losses and $987 million for operating expenses

Credit loss: a loss that a business or financial organization records, which is caused by customers not paying money they owe

So, the division had only 660 Million Revenue, lost 544 million to people not paying their debt (is that money gone, or are those people still owing that money to Goldman?) and paid nearly a billion to operate this for a single quarter?
dafuq?

Is Apple Card in danger if Goldman does their best to pull the plug?
