When Apple announced the Emergency SOS via Satellite service with the iPhone 14 line-up, it said at the time it would be free for the first two years – implying that it would require a paid subscription after that.
Earlier this month, Apple gave iPhone 14 owners an extra year. As things stand, then, both iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 owners will get free service until September 2025. After that, though, Apple has a problem …

Now the company has detailed plans to bring Apple silicon packaging to Arizona as part of that investment. The announcement seems to refute an earlier report that Apple silicon fabbed by TSMC in the US would still need to be packaged in Taiwan.

Screenshots (Click to enlarge) Repack FeaturesIt is a sci-fi story that takes place in the near future. You are Harry Herman, an employee of Delta Laboratories who researches interdimensional traveling. You had been participating in a project that was supposed to benefit all humanity, but something went wrong. Through the gameplay, you will solve various physics-based puzzles using an energy-manipulating weapon, travel across space and time to explore surrealistic universes and find out the dark truth about this project and your connection to it.
Solve various puzzles and trick enemies using physics interactions and your special tool – the Portable Energy Manipulator.
Many objects in the game can be picked up, brought somewhere, or manipulated in other ways. Whether it’s a computer terminal, a box you can carry, or a simple mug on a table. Explore various interactive environments to find clues and return to the riddle with a solution, which in some cases may be several. Nothing was made for you to solve, there’s no cube dispenser or an obvious exit door at the end. It’s all for you to figure out.
The device you carry throughout the game can absorb different energy types from the environment and use them to perform various tasks.
Absorbing energy from a particular source will give the gun its’ properties. The heat energy from fire and radiators will melt glass, security cameras can be blinded by a beam of light, and for powering generators, you can take hazardous radiation from toxic puddles scattered across Delta Labs facilities. And of course, you will make an encounter with the quantum entanglement energy – the mysterious power capable of opening rifts between worlds.
Apart from solving environmental puzzles, your device can also be used against various creatures you’ll meet in parallel dimensions. Most of the time you can’t defeat your enemies; instead, you can use the Manipulator to outsmart or suspend them. Some enemies can be frozen in place using the force field energy, while others are sensitive to light and can be distracted by shooting a beam at it in the distance. You will require more advanced strategies and combining various energy types to pass them.
You find yourself in one of Delta Labs’ off-world research facilities in an unknown dimension that looks more like a crashing-down laboratory. Your old friends Eugene and Alex try to connect with you shortly, and with their help, you start a journey through various dimensions. You will learn different physics interactions and meet unusual creatures on your way home. Along this, you have to unveil the mysteries of this project and your past.
Experience a non-linear story where your choice always matters. Can you get to the bottom of this, or just try to escape? Who to listen? Who to trust? Which side will you take? And will you finally “break the Principle”? That depends entirely on you.

Screenshots (Click to enlarge) Repack FeaturesThe world you are about to enter is one in which the dead come back to life.
It is a phenomena which has occurred since time immemorial. But these unlucky individuals do not return as the person they once were. They rise from the grave with depleted cognition, memory, and awareness. Their bodies, stripped of all regenerative abilities, slowly rot away.
In Japan, those with this affliction are known as “hihiru.” Though once revered as holy beings, over time they have come to be shunned and reviled by society. Eventually, however, their condition was recognized as a medical issue, and given the name Aerodema.
Now, at the dawn of the Taishō Era, Dr. Shūhei Katori is conducting field studies in an effort to improve living conditions and support systems for Aerodema patients. Given how slowly they have developed in Japan compared to other nations, it is an uphill battle he fights.
It is through the eyes of two men that this story will unfold: Masamitsu Chigusa, a young doctor assisting with these studies, and Takeo Tenma, a student to whom Aerodema has only been a distant problem until now. Watch how these men grapple with Aerodema as it twists itself into their lives…

昨天,拼多多美股市值盘中短暂超过阿里巴巴,没想到阿里巴巴竟然已经沦落到和拼多多竞争市值的地步了,实在是可悲啊,一个头部企业做成这样,实在没法向广大股东们交代。
11月29日晚间,美股拼多多(PDD)开盘后涨超4%,市值达到1920亿美元,一度超越阿里巴巴(BABA),成为美股市值最大中概股。截至当天收盘,拼多多股价涨幅收窄,现涨1.96%,总市值1883亿美元,低于阿里巴巴的1902亿美元。
值得注意的是,三年前,阿里巴巴市值8600亿美元,拼多多市值1080亿美元,京东市值1200亿美元。
从股价上看,从2021年以来,阿里巴巴、京东等中概股都走上了股价不断下跌的道路,拼多多在2021年也是一样的下跌趋势,然而从2022年开始,拼多多却反其道而行之,走上了股价上升的道路。
那么,2022年到底发生了什么呢?
拼多多的成功肯定不再是所谓“消费降级”了,低端的生意肯定撑不起这么大的市值,2022年,拼多多做了阿里巴巴没做的事情,那就是进军北美市场。
拼多多的美国版Temu于2022年9月1日推出,上线仅一周便冲进了美国购物应用的第14名,10月18日,Temu超越Amazon Shopping登顶美国App Store免费购物应用榜单第一。2022年底,该APP就成为了全美下载量最多的应用程序。
2023年2月,Temu在加拿大上线,并在同月超级碗期间播放了广告,2023年3月,Temu进军澳大利亚和新西兰市场,此后一个月,Temu又相继进入法国、德国、爱尔兰、意大利、荷兰、西班牙和英国市场。
当拼多多不断高歌猛进占领国际市场的时候,阿里巴巴在做什么呢?什么都没做,还是固步自封,还是循规蹈矩,还是在国内市场里瞎折腾,到现在,连股价都要被拼多多超越的时候,1个22万员工的企业被一个9千员工的企业干趴下的时候,阿里巴巴的管理层居然还是麻木不仁,无动于衷,实在是可悲可叹。
做为一个阿里巴巴股票(美股和港股)的持有者,我认为,阿里巴巴欠我们这些广大股民一个交代。
