Citing a source, a South Korean journalist specializing in the display industry reported on the cracking issue affecting Apple’s iPhone Duo: “The problem is occurring in the same area, and the cause appears to be a flaw in Apple’s hinge design. Apple will likely have no choice but to redesign the hinge.”
The report added: “Since the product is already being manufactured, Apple will need to address the defect while keeping design changes to a minimum, such as by reducing the number of hinge components.”

One unintended consequence of Super is that it forces $_Billions into ASX Blue Chips who can sit back and coast, never innovating or expanding, safe and secure in the knowledge that demand for their stock is never ending. CBA, COL, BHP, NAB etc.

没想到，上海的经济已经差到这种程度了。
昨晚跟我六个大学同学一块吃饭，结果四个失业了，还有一个是灵活就业。
原本以为就是大家聚在一起吐吐槽，结果刚落座，气氛就不对。
以前聚会都是抢着扫码点硬菜，今天硬是拿着手机算了半天团购券。没一个人主动提“工作”这俩字，全在聊哪家超市的鸡蛋打折，或者谁家的孩子现在连早教班都退了。
那个灵活就业的兄弟，以前是个高级总监，背着两万多的房贷，现在每天雷打不动去图书馆假装上班，连杯瑞幸都不敢买，保温杯里灌满免费开水。
剩下四个失业的，有两个连社保都断了，说现在只能指望老家父母接济一点；另外一个说他连星巴克都不敢去了，天天去街道办的免费阅览室投简历。
还有个以前做地产的，前两天刚把车卖了，偷偷去跑网约车，就怕碰到熟人。
最让我破防的，是最后结账的时候。以前全抢着买单，今天大家默契地拉了个群收款。
有个老哥还悄悄私信我，说微信里钱不够，问我能不能先帮他垫上，发了工资立马还
Reminds me of Japan in the 2000's.
Fuck this Chinese job market.
Young people are getting absolutely fucked. No real opportunities, shit pay that barely covers rent, and you're expected to grind 996 like a dog. Overtime is mandatory, weekends are optional, and if you complain you get replaced by the next desperate grad.
Everyone's killing each other for scraps. Involution is out of control — 300 people fighting for one mediocre position, then the winner gets paid like shit and worked to death. Graduates with master's degrees delivering food or sitting on their parents' couch.
Companies treat you like disposable labor. No raises, no promotions, just more work and the constant threat of being laid off. The economy's trash, private sector is dying, and the only "stable" path is fighting millions for a government job that might not even exist by the time you get it.
It's a fucking meat grinder. Opportunity? What opportunity. Just endless competition and poverty wages.
This is not new. Gold always sells off in a slump. It's the coming debt crisis where it will shine...
HSBC: gold is a source of cash in a sell-off.
HSBC Asset Management strategists say gold has failed as a short-term hedge during stock sell-offs, because margin calls force leveraged holders to sell bullion.
They still see a long-term case built on currency debasement, central bank diversification and geopolitical fragmentation.

It’s weird how normalized this is.
If a bunch of random dudes with giant beards and silly hats and black clothes just showed up out of nowhere one day and started ordering us to start foreign wars, we would all flip out, like who the fuck are these guys?

black october just got worse. a japanese company lost 27,000 servers and it’s not even the scariest part
GMO Internet runs a cloud service called Onamae Desktop, mostly used by forex traders running automated trading bots
hackers broke in, installed malware across up to 26,739 servers, stole trading credentials and started making unauthorized trades on people’s accounts
not one broker. over 70 different securities and forex firms across japan and internationally. people woke up to trades they never made, money moving they never authorized
OANDA Japan froze customer withdrawals. GMO refused to pay the ransom, permanently shut down the entire service, and did something nobody expected
they asked the japanese government to use brand new active cyber defense powers, literally military-grade authority that just went into effect october 1st, to trace and neutralize the attackers’ infrastructure. the government can now legally hack back
the technical details from the attacker’s own site are terrifying. GMO configured their VPS network using Active Directory, something you should never do on shared hosting
every server had admin credentials. and the RDP files customers used to connect? drive redirect was enabled by default, meaning the moment you connected to your VPS, your entire local PC was shared with the server
hackers didn’t just own the servers. they had a direct path into every customer’s personal computer. they extracted data, installed backdoors. customers were exposed like this for over 7 years
27,000 servers. 70+ brokers. unauthorized trades. personal computers backdoored. a company begging its government to go to cyber war
october isn’t slowing down

🚨 RETAIL INVESTORS DID IT AGAIN.
JPMorgan data shows retail investors bought nearly $550 MILLION worth of tech stocks between October 15 and 21, their biggest buying spree in at least 2 years, right before another brutal AI stock sell off.
Most of the buying was concentrated in semiconductor stocks, memory chipmakers and AI infrastructure companies.
Tech ETFs also recorded their SECOND HIGHEST weekly inflows EVER, with October 16 seeing the biggest single day inflow on record.
But the timing couldn't have been worse.
The semiconductor index plunged 6.7% on October 22 and was down 19.5% from October 6.
Retail investors rushed to buy the AI dip, only to get caught in another brutal sell off.
If the AI downturn continues, those aggressive bets could turn into much bigger losses.
