Start holding everyone accountable for their actions. March peacefully on Washington if necessary to demand change; (This is required because time is of the essence.

Menu Home News Hardware Gaming Mobile Finance Deals Reviews How To Wccftech Mobile TSMC’s Costly 2nm Chip Production And Mounting Tariffs Could Force Apple To Raise iPhone 18 Prices, Making The Entire Lineup Shockingly Expensive Ali Salman • Apr 18, 2025 at 02:16am EDT Apple is having a hard time keeping the price of its iPhone models at bay thanks to the recently imposed tariffs by the Trump administration. The import taxes could force the company to increase the prices eventually, but if you think this is bad, the company is heading for serious trouble. Apple's leading supplier, TSMC, is also planning a price hike for 2nm chips, which could cause next year's iPhone 18 models to feature a heftier price tag than previously anticipated. TSMC's 2nm cost could cause iPhone 18 prices to increase amid tariff concerns We have also previously covered that the Cupertino giant is preparing to launch its first foldable iPhone next year, which could feature a price tag of more than $2,000 based on rough estimates by leakers. In a new post, leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that TSMC will supply 2nm chips to Apple and other companies, and "it is expected that the cost will increase significantly, and the price of the new machine may increase again." The main reason for the price hike will be the higher manufacturing cost of the 2nm chips, which would be passed on to the consumer. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo previously noted that only the iPhone 18 Pro models would benefit from TSMC's 2nm chip technology, making them superior to the standard models and more expensive. With TSMC's 2nm yields improving to 60 to 70 percent, as reported in January, the analyst changed his speculations, stating that it is possible that the entire iPhone 18 lineup could feature 2nm chips. Apple will not touch its profit margins at any cost, and no matter how much it wants the prices to remain low, the end user will likely suffer in the coming year. Before integrating the more expensive chips, Apple also has to face another reality—dealing with hefty import taxes imposed by the Trump administration. It was recently reported that the price of the base iPhone 16 Pro model could go up from $999 to $1,400 if the reciprocal tariffs are implemented. It is not clear at this stage if Apple will increase the prices of the current iPhone 16 lineup, as it has stockpiled some of the inventory, which could allow it to delay the decision until the iPhone 17 models are announced. However, if there is a sudden surge in demand that exceeds its stock in the United States, only then would the company increase the price of the current models unless it decides to bear the cost on its own.

يهود بريطانيون يدينون حرب غزة ومنظمة أميركية تطالب بوقف تسليح إسرائيلنشطاء من منظمة "الصوت اليهودي من أجل السلام" يتظاهرون في نيويورك للمطالبة بتحرير فلسطين (الفرنسية)18/4/2025-|آخر تحديث: 18/4/202509:50 ص (توقيت مكة)دان عدد من ممثلي الجالية اليهودية في المملكة المتحدة سياسات حكومة بنيامين نتنياهو واتهموها بالتصرف على نحو يتناقض مع "القيم اليهودية" في ما يتصل بالحرب على غزة، بينما طالبت منظمة "الصوت اليهودي من أجل السلام" الأميركية إدارة الرئيس دونالد ترامب بإنهاء تمويل الجيش الإسرائيلي فورا. وكتب 36 عضوا في مجلس ممثلي اليهود البريطانيين، أكبر هيئة تمثل هذا المجتمع بالمملكة المتحدة -في رسالة مفتوحة نشرتها صحيفة فايننشال تايمز- أن "ما يحدث لا يطاق" وأنه لم يعد بإمكانهم التزام الصمت فـ"قيمنا اليهودية تجبرنا على الوقوف والتحدث". وجاء في الرسالة أن "سياسات حكومة نتنياهو وأفعالها تتعارض مع قيمنا اليهودية. نحن نعارض الحرب. إننا نحزن على فقدان أرواح فلسطينيين". كما دانوا استئناف الهجوم الإسرائيلي على غزة في 18 مارس/آذار بعد هدنة استمرت شهرين. وقالوا "نحن نعلم أننا لا نستطيع أن نبقى صامتين في مواجهة سقوط ضحايا جدد، كما أنه منذ استئناف القصف، لم يتم إطلاق سراح أي رهينة إسرائيلي". وهذه أول مرة منذ بدء الحرب على غزة ينتقد أعضاء هذا المجلس الحكومة الإسرائيلية علنا. لكن رئيسه فيل روزنبرغ انتقد هذا الموقف أمس الخميس، وقال في مقال بصحيفة "جويش نيوز" إن هذا الموقف "يلقي باللوم مباشرة على الحكومة الإسرائيلية، وبالكاد يذكر مسؤولية حركة حماس في فشل مفاوضات وقف إطلاق النار وإطلاق سراح الأسرى". إعلان كما أعرب روزنبرغ عن أسفه لأن الرسالة تعطي، عن قصد أو غير قصد، انطباعا بأنها تعكس موقف المجلس بأكمله والمجتمع اليهودي البريطاني الأوسع، مضيفا "هذا ليس صحيحا على الإطلاق، وبصفتي رئيسا فإنني أتحدث نيابة عن المنظمة ككل". وقف التسليح وفي سياق متصل، طالبت منظمة "الصوت اليهودي من أجل السلام" الإدارة الأميركية بإنهاء تمويل الجيش الإسرائيلي فورا. وقالت المنظمة في بيان إن "الحكومة الأميركية سهلت الإبادة الجماعية في قطاع غزة بإرسالها أسلحة وقذائف إلى إسرائيل، حيث تسببت في قتل أكثر من 60 ألفا من سكان القطاع". وأضافت أن العالم شاهد كيف أحرق الجيش الإسرائيلي بوحشية -واستخدام القنابل الأميركية- 12 فلسطينيا أحياء في خيام المواصي. وحملت المنظمة حكومتي إسرائيل والولايات المتحدة المسؤولية عن حصار وتجويع سكان غزة. ومنظمة "الصوت اليهودي من أجل السلام" (جيه في بي) مقرها بيركلي بولاية كاليفورنيا، وهي حركة يهودية أميركية تهدف لتنظيم حركة شعبية بالتعاون مع المنظمات الفلسطينية وغيرها من المنظمات المناهضة للإمبريالية والمؤيدة للتحرير، وذلك لمحاربة الحركة الصهيونية ومواجهة الممارسات القمعية للاحتلال الإسرائيلي و"تحقيق العدالة والحرية والمساواة للفلسطينيين مع اليهود الإسرائيليين عبر تغيير السياسة الأميركية" حسب ما تقول. وتطالب الحركة بإنهاء الاحتلال الإسرائيلي للأراضي الفلسطينية في الضفة الغربية وغزة والقدس الشرقية، وتنادي بـ"تقرير المصير للفلسطينيين والإسرائيليين" وإيجاد حل عادل على أساس المبادئ المنصوص عليها في القانون الدولي، وترفض أي تعصب أو قمع للمسلمين والعرب واليهود. وترتكب إسرائيل -بدعم أميركي مطلق منذ 7 أكتوبر/تشرين الأول 2023- جرائم إبادة جماعية بغزة خلّفت أكثر من 167 ألف شهيد وجريح من الفلسطينيين، معظمهم أطفال ونساء، وما يزيد على 11 ألف مفقود. إعلان المصدر : الجزيرة + الفرنسية

أعلنت «الإمارات للشحن الجوي»، ذراع الشحن في شركة طيران الإمارات، بالتعاون مع شركة التضامن للنقل، عن إضافة شاحنات تعمل بالهيدروجين إلى أسطولها من الشاحنات. وأفادت الناقلة، في بيان، أمس، بأنه من المتوقع أن يتم انضمام هذه الشاحنات إلى الأسطول خلال الربع الأول من عام 2026. ويتألف أسطول شاحنات «الإمارات للشحن الجوي» حالياً من أكثر من 60 شاحنة، ويشكّل حلقة وصل حيوية بين مطارَي دبي وآل مكتوم الدوليين، والمناطق المحلية الأخرى. وستشغل الناقلة خمس شاحنات تعمل بالهيدروجين، في خطوة بارزة في مسيرة التحول التدريجي نحو استخدام شاحنات تعمل بالوقود البديل. وتمتاز الشاحنات الجديدة بالقدرة الاستيعابية ذاتها لنظيراتها العاملة بالديزل حالياً، حيث يمكن لكل شاحنة نقل ما يصل إلى 28 طناً من الشحنات بكفاءة تشغيلية. وسيتم تزويد الشاحنات بالوقود في محطتين مخصصتين للهيدروجين في دبي، الأولى في «مدينة إكسبو»، والثانية في «محطة ديوا» بمنطقة القدرة. وقال نائب رئيس أول «طيران الإمارات» لدائرة الشحن، بدر عباس: «يمثل تشغيل شاحنات تعمل بالهيدروجين ضمن أسطولنا خطوة نوعية، في إطار استراتيجيتنا الرامية إلى تقليل الانبعاثات الناتجة عن العمليات الأرضية». من جهته، قال الرئيس التنفيذي لشركة التضامن للنقل، علي بن بيات: «بالشراكة مع (الإمارات للشحن الجوي)، نُطلق هذه الشاحنات في مختلف أنحاء دولة الإمارات، لاسيما في دبي، لدعم مستقبل لوجستي أكثر نظافة واستدامة».

Panic announced the initial lineup of Playdate Season 2 games during a recent livestream, and one of them is Fulcrum Defender, the latest project from Into the Breach and FTL: Faster than Light developer Subset Games. It's an arcade-action game where you control a turret using the Playdate's hand crank and stop incoming projectiles before they reach the center of the screen.In our Into the Breach review, we called it a "pristine and pragmatic tactical gem," and it won the BAFTA for best original property, along with "best strategy game" at The Game Awards 2018. FTL launched in 2012 to critical acclaim for its design and soundtrack. However, Subset Games' Justin Ma said during the stream that they weren't trying to create another hit. In fact, they didn't actually plan on releasing Fulcrum Defender at all for a while."I was making it as a form of self-therapy," Ma said. "I have been struggling with long COVID the past few years, and I wanted to prove to myself that I can still make games in my current state."Continue Reading at GameSpot

One of the gnarliest games ever published by a AAA studio is available at a steep discount on Steam. That’s great news… if you can get past the game-breaking bugs. When Activision published Prototype 2 in 2012, the big-budget video game scene was stuck in a creative rut. You could have whatever you wanted, so long as it starred a bald dude with an unquenchable thirst for violence. Hitman. Spec Ops. Max Payne. The cover of Call of Duty was just a silhouette of a bald guy with a gun. Even Mass Effect 2 (beloved, I know!) fell uncomfortably into the same bucket. Prototype 2 is special in that, with hindsight, it’s unclear if the game is the furthest this trend would go or a knowing parody. My guess? Both. You play as former U.S. Marine Sergeant James Heller, and your overarching goal is to kill the protagonist of the original Prototype. Thanks to mutant powers, you can run up skyscrapers, leap entire city blocks, and glide through avenues — imagine the traversal of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 with a city dipped in Vaseline. Unlike Spider-Man, Heller also has a bundle of ultra-violent supervillain talents. You can eat people in a single bite and then transform into them. His forearms morph into mutated claws that would humble Wolverine. Even a simple punch has enough power to juice a civilian; every enemy contains enough blood to fill a swimming pool. Unfortunately, the game is a product of its time in the most literal sense: the PC port, released a few months after the console version, is a disaster. You wouldn’t know it from most reviews at the time, because just getting a console game on PC felt like a gift. Publishers were still terrified of piracy and rarely invested in the platform. It’s a far cry from today, when PC is rapidly cutting into markets and publishers like Square Enix are rethinking their entire business models around it. Now combine that 2012 problem with a 2025 one: the industry’s general indifference (if not outright disdain) toward video game preservation, especially for series that no longer promise big profits. The result is Prototype 2 on Steam — a good game failed by the industry twice, still sold despite many players struggling to even get it to launch, relying on YouTube guides and old forum threads. I recommend you play Prototype 2! But you might want to dig your Xbox 360 out of storage and find a disc. Remember those things? They were great.
