Not even a single chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen since the battle against Sukuna has been boring‚ and the much-awaited Chapter 249 won't be any different. Each new installment continues to deliver jaw-dropping surprises‚ and Gege sensei maintains an unrelenting momentum. The latest chapter kept us on the edge of our seats‚ continuing the intense battle between Sukuna and Yuji while unveiling some shocking revelations. Sukuna‚ ever the connoisseur of chaos‚ appreciates Yuji's improved skills but sees him as nothing more than a playtoy.

For the past nine years‚ the God Eater series has quietly held a place as one of my favorite video game series. God Eater Resurrection‚ God Eater 2 Rage Burst‚ and God Eater 3 delivered some of my most cherished story-focused multiplayer RPG experiences on the PS4. But despite my love for them‚ they've always leaned a bit too heavily on Monster Hunter influences‚ content to mimic the hit franchise in a way that I think has hindered God Eater from growing out into truly its own thing.

Last July‚ we learned that Netflix planned to remove its cheapest ad-free plan to steer customers to either the more affordable ad-base Standard plans or one of the more expensive ad-free options still available (Standard and Premium). Some six months later‚ Netflix is again announcing the doom of the cheapest ad-free plan. But this time around‚ the Basic plan is going away for good‚ even if you're still a paying customer.  It's not happening right now‚ according to Netflix. The change will impact Canada and the UK first‚ with the Basic subscription being retired at some point in the coming quarter. I expect Netflix to nudge customers who are still paying a Basic ad-free subscription to move to the available alternatives.  Unlike last July‚ you won't be able to do anything about the change. Well‚ other than to cancel Netflix‚ if that's the course of action you'll want to take. Continue reading...

With the Digital Markets Act about to take effect this March‚ Apple is planning to charge extra fees and add restrictions when it begins allowing third-party downloads from outside the iPhone's App Store. The information comes from The Wall Street Journal. The legislation allows third-party developers to offer iPhone apps without requiring a direct download from the App Store. With that‚ WSJ reports that Meta‚ Spotify‚ and Microsoft are among the companies planning how they will take advantage of this change. Meta‚ for example‚ wants to allow downloads directly from Facebook ads. Spotify will likely offer the ability to download its app through its website‚ while Microsoft could launch its own third-party app store for games. Interestingly enough‚ Apple plans to take a similar path to the one it took in the US with third-party payments. According to the company‚ US developers can offer other payment options outside the App Store‚ but they still need to pay Apple a 27% fee. In addition‚ they have to follow some guidelines to promote an external link while also reporting to Apple about every purchase made through this external link so the company can charge a fee. US developers were furious about how Apple decided to comply with this court ruling‚ and the company will try to do the same in Europe. WSJ says Apple wants to maintain "close oversight of apps downloaded outside the App Store" while giving itself the ability to "review each app downloaded outside the App Store" and "collect fees from developers that offer downloads outside of the App Store." We expect that Apple will start to prepare for these changes with iOS 17.4‚ with its beta scheduled to be released soon. Once the company unveils its plans to comply with the European Commission‚ we'll have to wait to discover if Europe is satisfied with Apple's doing or if the company is still promoting anticompetitive behavior.
