Apple has officially halted the sale of its iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, and iPhone SE (3rd generation) models across 29 European countries, following the implementation of a landmark European Union directive requiring all smartphones and portable electronic devices to adopt the USB-C charging standard. The ban, which affects both online and physical retail stores, comes as Apple works to clear remaining inventory in compliance with new regulations that aim to reduce electronic waste. European Union’s New Regulation The European Union’s new regulation, which went into effect on December 28, 2024, now requires all electronic devices sold in its 27 member states to have a USB-C charging port. This broad mandate aims to standardize charging cables for all devices, lowering the quantity of cables users require and, eventually, reducing the growing problem of electronic waste. Apple and other companies were given until the end of 2024 to switch their devices to the USB-C standard, even though the regulation was first introduced in 2022. Apple, which had long used its proprietary Lightning connector in iPhones, initially fought against the regulation, arguing that such a mandate could stifle innovation and limit its design options. However, following legal challenges, Apple ultimately acquiesced to the EU’s decision, starting with the release of the iPhone 15, which switched to USB-C. As a result, the iPhone 14 series, which still relied on the Lightning connector, became incompatible with the new law, leading to their removal from sale. The ban is in effect across all 27 EU member states, including major markets such as Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, and Sweden. In addition to the EU countries, Switzerland, which is not a member of the EU but closely follows its regulations, has also seen the ban extended to the iPhone 14 and SE models. Interestingly, the decision also affects Northern Ireland due to its unique post-Brexit trade rules, which align with EU regulations despite the U.K. leaving the union. As of December 27, 2024, customers visiting Apple’s websites in these regions can no longer purchase the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, or iPhone SE (3rd generation), with only the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 16 series, and newer models now available for purchase. Physical retail stores across these countries have also stopped selling these devices, marking the end of an era for Apple’s flagship models. Apple’s Remaining Stock Despite the official cessation of sales, Apple is working to clear out any remaining stock of the affected iPhones. Third-party resellers, such as Amazon, continue to offer these devices in select countries, though availability is expected to dwindle quickly. For example, as of the latest reports, the iPhone 14 is still available for sale on Amazon in Spain, but this may not be the case for much longer. Apple has also expressed its commitment to ensuring a smooth transition for consumers. The iPhone 15 and newer models, which feature USB-C ports, remain available for purchase, and customers who are still interested in the iPhone SE can expect a new iteration of the model in spring 2025. While the iPhone SE’s future remains uncertain, the discontinuation of the Lightning port marks a pivotal moment for the device. The iPhone 14 and SE models are expected to be phased out entirely by the fall of 2025, which may coincide with the end of their lifecycle worldwide. For now, the focus is on Apple’s next-generation models, with rumors surrounding the iPhone 17 suggesting it will be the company’s thinnest phone yet. There are also growing indications that Apple is exploring foldable technology for future devices, further signaling the company’s evolution beyond the traditional smartphone form.

It is designed to rival premium offerings from brands like Apple and Samsung. OnePlus Watch 3 India Launch: The Chinese electronics brand is gearing up to unveil the OnePlus Watch 3 smartwatch on January 7, 2024, alongside the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R smartphones reportedly. While the company has yet to reveal detailed specifications, the smartwatch is expected to deliver significant upgrades over the current OnePlus Watch 2. A report by GSM Arena highlights that the OnePlus Watch 3 will feature a rotating crown, a hallmark of premium smartwatches known for its tactile and user-friendly interface. This addition is anticipated to improve navigation, offering users a more intuitive and responsive experience. The smartwatch may be offered in two colour options. OnePlus Watch 3 Specifications (Expected) In addition to the rotating crown, the OnePlus Watch 3 is expected to feature a heart rate sensor and ECG functionality, although the latter will only be available in select regions. Internally, the OnePlus Watch 3 is expected to run on the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 SoC, delivering strong performance and energy efficiency. It will likely include 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, facilitating smooth app operation, notifications, and fitness tracking. The device is expected to run on Watch OS 5 and RTOS, ensuring a seamless and functional user experience. The smartwatch reportedly houses a battery capacity exceeding 500 mAh, promising substantial longevity for everyday use. Certain versions are anticipated to support LTE connectivity, enabling users to make calls, send messages, and stream music without needing a paired smartphone. Interestingly, a OnePlus Watch 3 model that received TENAA certification in June featured a 500 mAh battery and LTE support, though its design differed from the leaked render. Another variant, labelled OPWWE251 and recently certified by the FCC, is rumoured to include a larger 648 mAh battery, suggesting the possibility of multiple configurations. Health tracking remains a key focus for modern smartwatches, and the OnePlus Watch 3 is expected to deliver in this area. Alongside its heart rate sensor, the ECG functionality will allow users to monitor their heart health closely. However, regulatory requirements may limit the ECG feature to specific regions. The OnePlus Watch 3 represents a significant step forward in the company's smartwatch lineup. With features such as advanced health tracking, LTE connectivity, and a rotating crown, it aims to compete with premium devices from brands like Apple and Samsung. While the OnePlus Watch 2 catered to budget-conscious buyers, the Watch 3 appears to target the high-end market, boasting upgraded specifications and features.

CAMBRIDGE — Henry County is one of five counties being sued in a class action suit in which landowners are claiming that in tax sales of their properties, the county is seeking more than it should and not returning enough to the landowner. Executive committee chairman Marshall Jones told the county board of the lawsuit Thursday, asking them to approve a letter of engagement with an attorney to represent the county in federal court. Henry County State's Attorney Catherine Runty would not be able to do so. The board approved the letter of engagement 17-0 with board members Rex Kiser, Jim Thompson and Lynn Sutton absent. "We'll let it go through the courts and see where it goes," said Jones. The initial complaint in the suit was filed in April in the U.S. District Court of Southern Illinois, listing officials and St. Clair and Sangamon counties as defendants. Henry County was added in an amended complaint filed in August, when Aaron Lindquist, a Colona resident, was added as a plaintiff. In other business the board approved an intergovernmental agreement with the village of Cambridge for police protection from the sheriff's department. The agreement provides for up to 80 hours of coverage a month at $29 per hour plus benefits. It is similar to agreements with Andover and Orion. Board member Natalie Hendryx also reported that with two deputies graduating from the police academy and one entering the academy in January, the sheriff's department is fully staffed, although three will be in training. The department is aware, however, that one deputy is leaving to join the state police. The Bishop Hill wind generator project is now completed and emergency generators have been put in place at the highway department. Finance committee chairman Mark Burton reported that the county ended the recent fiscal year in "outstanding financial condition" and has built reserves to continue making capital improvements without incurring any debt. He credited department heads, county administrator Eriun Knackstedt and "every single employee in the county" with putting the county in such a good place. Board members also learned the phone system at Hillcrest Home had failed and was temporarily replaced with cell phones from the Office of Emergency Management. Ultimately a new phone system was installed and the board approved the purchase for $24,119.83. Board member Brian Corkill reported the new system is better technology and working great. The board also approved an architect's agreement for the nursing home which is planning to remodel bathrooms in the facility. Corkill said the Illinois Department of Public Health requires that an architect be used for the project. Corkill said the nursing home is still having to use agency staffing although the census is down to 59. Total capacity at the home is nearly 100. "We encourage them to find the right balance," he said. "We can't keep cutting back." Here’s what you should know about tax deductions. Pennygem’s Natasha Abellard has the story. The bulk purchase of single-family homes by corporate owners—who then turn them into rentals—has come under increased scrutiny in recent years. Legislators have gradually been responding with bills to rein in and in some cases ban private equity, real estate investment trusts and hedge funds from purchasing single-family homes. According to Next City , the most prominent of these bills was introduced in December 2023: the End Hedge Fund Control of American Homes Act, introduced in the Senate by Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley with companion legislation introduced in the House by Rep. Adam Smith . The bill, which has been referred to committee but has yet to receive a vote, would effectively ban hedge funds from owning any single-family homes within 10 years of its passage. The Merkley/Smith bill as written would force large corporate owners to divest from their current holdings of single-family homes over 10 years. An applicable entity that manages investor funds, is a fiduciary of the funds, and purchases new homes would be taxed half the cost of each additional home. Entities that fail to divest homes they own in excess of the 50-home cap would be taxed $50,000 for each excess home. And hedge funds, specifically, would pay that fine if they own any homes at all (with 10 years to divest of them). The taxes would go toward a new housing trust fund for downpayment assistance for aspiring homeowners. The legislation defines a "hedge fund" as any taxpayer with $50 million or more of assets under management. There are exemptions for nonprofits or any organization that primarily builds or rehabilitates single-family housing. Merkley told Next City/Shelterforce that he first learned about the issue from constituents who were being outbid for starter homes for their families by deep-pocketed investors who were willing to buy the homes sight unseen. "I started to hear the vignettes of people competing with all-cash, no-inspection offers in Oregon," Merkley says. "And three years ago or so I started seeing the stats of the large number of homes that were being purchased." While the overall ownership of single-family homes by private equity remains relatively small, a 2022 report by MetLife estimated that by 2030, 7.6 million single-family rental homes in the United States—more than 40 percent—could be owned by corporate investors. According to a November report from the Private Equity Stakeholder Project (PESP) the estimate of 1.6 million housing units owned by private equity is "likely a dramatic underestimate due to a lack of transparency in ownership records." The issue was the subject of a much-publicized Congressional hearing in 2022. And on March 7 President Biden released a policy announcement on housing ahead of his State of the Union address that mentioned private equity's influence on housing, saying, "Corporate landlords and private equity firms across the country have been accused of illegal information sharing, price fixing, and inflating rents," a reference not only to rent gouging but to ongoing litigation against RealPage, a data analytics company providing research to landlords, for coordinating rents among customers. Private equity firms generally purchase houses with the goal of quickly turning a profit and then selling them. According to the November report by the Private Equity Stakeholder Project, private equity firms generally seek to turn a 15 percent return to investors within a 3- to 5-year period, and they accomplish this by cutting costs, including "deferring maintenance, skirting regulations, and imposing unnecessary fees on tenants." A 2022 report from Drexel University found that between 2020 and 2021, 19 percent of sales of single-family homes in Richmond, Virginia, went to investors (a broad category that includes individual house flippers and private equity giants), and a quarter of the homes purchased in the same time period in Jacksonville, Florida, and Philadelphia were bought by investors. The bill is one of several pieces of legislation introduced in recent years in an attempt to address private equity purchases of housing, although the other bills are all at the state or local level. Among them is a North Carolina bill that would ban any single entity from owning more than 100 homes in counties that have above 150,000 residents. Every home owned above 100 would result in a daily fine of up to $100. In its report, PESP referred to the bill, which was referred to committee over a year ago but has never received a vote, as "one of the most stringent regulations of corporate landlords ever attempted by any state government." A bill in Minnesota, HF685 , would ban corporate entities from converting single-family homes into rentals. Introduced in January 2023, the bill hasn't received a vote but has been picking up support: it has 18 authors as of this writing. Minnesota has been particularly impacted by private equity landlords. In 2022, Next City covered a group of tenants in single-family homes in Minnesota putting their rent in escrow rather than paying their private equity landlord, Pretium Partners, which was failing to provide needed repairs. Pretium was the subject of a lawsuit by the state's attorney general, Keith Ellison. The Merkley/Smith legislation caps ownership for all pooled investment funds at 50 single-family homes. Merkley told Next City/Shelterforce the number was "arbitrary" but chosen so that large hedge funds don't form smaller companies to evade detection. "We didn't want the large billion-dollar hedge funds to create the same board of officers and create a smaller hedge fund," he says. Private equity owners of single-family homes have continually argued that they are creating supply in the rental market, particularly for growing families who would feel cramped in a small apartment. Merkley says the legislation negates that argument, because it requires private equity landlords to sell off their properties to new homeowners. "That's a completely bogus argument," he says. "You're taking a family out of the rental market when they become the owner of this home." He says that allowing aspiring homeowners to buy homes is "systematically reducing the demand for rental housing." Merkley had a front-row seat to the beginning of this crisis. He entered Congress in 2009, during the financial crisis and mortgage crisis, when the federal government had acquired hundreds of thousands of single-family homes with predatory mortgages that it needed to get rid of. After the financial crisis, the Obama administration began selling off hundreds of thousands of the single-family homes that it had foreclosed on. Rather than selling them to homeowners, they sold them to hedge funds and private equity with massive discounts. Merkley says that he was pushing the Obama administration at the time to make the homes available to Americans who had been victims of the subprime mortgage crisis. The Obama administration, Merkley says, responded that they didn't have time to build capacity for a discounted homeownership program before the buildings started to deteriorate. "I do understand the arguments the administration was making ... they were also worried about pipes freezing, they were worried about houses being broken into, they were worried about houses being stripped of their copper," Merkley says. But he says that whatever the Obama administration's limitations, "That process of selling off houses in these large bulk sales that only large hedge funds can buy them really set this in motion." Hedge funds and private equity firms make money off these homes with or without renters—the buildings appreciate in value, and that appreciation is not subject to taxation until a sale. Merkley then joined the banking committee, where he worked on regulating subprime mortgages. "We made them illegal, they were turning the dream of homeownership into a nightmare," Merkley says. (This is not exactly true, but the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act did put greater guardrails on subprime mortgages, putting them under the purview of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Merkley, along with Sen. Amy Klobuchar, contributed to language in the bill that prohibited mortgage lenders and brokers from receiving financial incentives to offer high-risk loans.) The Merkley/Smith bill also does not address private equity ownership in the multifamily housing market, where it owns a larger share of the market. Since multifamily units are mostly rentals already, private equity does not have the same effect on overall supply. But corporate consolidation of housing can lead to higher rents. Merkley says he doesn't have a plan for multifamily yet. "I don't feel I understand that multifamily issue well enough to propose a specific strategy on it," he says. The End Hedge Fund Control of American Homes Act doesn't have a strong solution for one of the largest impediments to regulating corporate ownership: tracking who owns what. Many rental properties are owned by shell LLCs, making ownership hard to discern. The bill sets up a reporting requirement around acquisitions, and issues a $20,000 fine for not reporting. But it doesn't create a mechanism for uncovering who owns the units, nor does it establish a new database of rental ownership. In an email statement to Next City/Shelterforce, Merkley's office said, "LLC transparency is a key piece of the puzzle to ensuring houses in our communities are homes for families, not profit centers for Wall Street" and that the senator is "exploring the most effective transparency and reporting strategy for tracking future acquisitions." "It's tough to really hold somebody accountable when you don't really know what the true ownership is," says Chris Noble, policy director at the Private Equity Stakeholder Project. The group has endorsed the legislation, saying it addresses the "root cause" of corporate housing consolidation. Noble says any mechanism to track housing ownership would need to be as "robust" as the tax portion of the bill for the legislation to work. PESP has advocated for a national landlord registry. "There has to be some way to track what everybody has because a lot of times it is an LLC that is owned by something else that is ultimately owned by a real estate investment trust or something like that," he says.

(The Center Square) – Although it remains unclear how many Democratic Senators will vote for the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act, some House members in the party have explained why they voted yes, despite a controversial provision restricting military-funded transgender surgeries for minors. The nearly $900 billion bill passed the House 281-140 Wednesday, with 200 Republicans and 81 Democrats voting in favor versus 124 Democrats and 16 Republicans voting against it. Most of the NDAA consists of bipartisan agreements, such as pay raises for service members, strengthened ties with U.S. allies, and funding of new military technology. But a critical point of contention is a Republican addition that would prohibit the military’s health program from covering any gender dysphoria treatments on minors that could "result in sterilization.” The must-pass bill is so critical that nearly 40% of House Democrats voted in favor–but not without expressing their disappointment. Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa., condemned Republican colleagues who, she said, “chose to sully this bill with political culture wars;” nevertheless, she voted in favor. “While it doesn't address everything we asked for and consider important, including the full ability of parents to make their own decisions about healthcare for their children, it marks a rare moment of productive bipartisan agreement on what is arguably the most crucial legislation we take up as a body each year,” Houlahan said. The bill’s provision does not forbid service members’ children from receiving transgender therapy. It forbids the military’s health insurance provider, TRICARE, from covering treatments on minors that “may result in sterilization.” Reps. Greg Landsman, D-Ohio, and Terri Sewell, D-Ala., also voted in favor of the bill despite their displeasure at the ban. “The NDAA is a hugely important bill. We had to pass it, which is why I voted yes,” Landsman posted on X Friday. “However, the anti-trans language that was attached to it was mean and awful and should never have been included.” “I have serious concerns about some remaining provisions that were placed in the bill for political purposes,” Sewell said Wednesday. “Still, the responsibility to support our service members and provide for our national security is one that I do not take lightly, which is why I ultimately chose to support the bill.” Besides the importance of annual military funding, another reason some House Democrats assented to the legislation is because they were successful in axing other House Republican amendments, such as a plan to eliminate reimbursements for service members who travel to obtain abortions. The Senate is expected to pass the bill within the next few days, after which President Joe Biden is expected to sign it into law.Despite out-gaining the Cleveland Browns 368-304 and winning the turnover battle 3-1, the Pittsburgh Steelers left snowy Cleveland with a 24-19 loss on Thursday night . Fourth downs ended up being the difference, as the Steelers went 1-3 on fourth downs, while the Browns were a perfect 4-4. Chris Boswell also missed a 58-yard field goal. It certainly was a wild game on the shores of Lake Erie. In fact, the Browns did something that no other team in NFL history has accomplished. The Browns became the first team in league history to commit 3+ turnovers, have 8+ penalties, convert no more than one third down, have under 25:00 time of possession, blow a 12+ point fourth-quarter lead ...and yet still win the game. The Browns are the first team in NFL history to: commit 3+ turnovers have 8+ penalties convert no more than 1 third down have under 25:00 TOP blow a 12+ point fourth-quarter lead ...and yet still win the game. pic.twitter.com/w6IeEgmSmA — OptaSTATS (@OptaSTATS) November 22, 2024 Bill Barnwell of ESPN also shared a wild stat from Thursday night’s game. The Browns lost the turnover battle by two, failed to convert even two third downs all game (1-10), didn’t score a return TD and were out-gained. Teams with that combination were 0-67 over the last 30 years before the Browns beat the Steelers. Fun with junk stat combinations Browns: – lost the turnover battle by two – failed to convert even two third downs all game (1-10) – didn't score a return TD – were outgained Teams with that combination were 0-67 over the last 30 years before the Browns won tonight. — Bill Barnwell (@billbarnwell) November 22, 2024 I’m sure the Steelers coaching staff and players will be kicking themselves over the next nine days until their Week 13 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. They should have never lost to Cleveland. “We should’ve won that game,” Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson said after the loss. “We felt like we battled in a tough environment. The way we answered in the fourth quarter was pretty special and we had a chance at the end, too.” Steelers wide receiver George Pickens flat-out said the Browns are not even a good team . “The conditions were so bad,” Pickens said when asked about a third-quarter missed connection between him and Russell Wilson. “I don’t even think the QB could see sometimes. When you’ve got conditions like that at the opponent’s home field, it kinda plays in their favor. ... “The conditions played a huge, huge part in today’s game. I don’t really think the Cleveland Browns are a good team at all. I think the conditions kinda saved them today. The Steelers rematch against the Browns will take place on Dec. 8 at Acrisure Stadium.

AP Business SummaryBrief at 7:36 a.m. EST
People in urban communities of the Bay Area are likely already used to the screech of tires that can signal the presence of a nearby “sideshow” or street takeover . Although this aspect of car culture is native to Northern California, police are cracking down on them due to the dangers and inconveniences posed. Q: What is a sideshow? Sideshows are informal, and often illegal, car shows where drivers perform tricks in front of a crowd, often taking place in vacant parking lots or even in wide street intersections. Some sideshows have happened in high-profile locations like the Bay Bridge . According to San Jose Deputy Police Chief Brandon Sanchez, the term “sideshow” was a spin-off of “high-siding,” when a person sits on the passenger side window of a car while someone else was driving. The term evolved as high-siding became a spectator sport into sideshows. Q: What happens at a sideshow? Oakland native and Northeastern University professor Mario Hernandez said that sideshows were based in a masculine, muscle car culture around classics like Ford Mustangs, Chevrolet Camaros and Dodge Chargers. Although some people showed off their cars by washing them before an event, sideshows also attracted drivers with older, junkier cars, he said. There was a DIY aspect to the culture, with people hooking up amps and wires through their car. “It’s an extension of yourself in a lot of ways, because it’s like you put time and energy and money into it,” Hernandez said. Sideshows commonly include racing and driving donuts with the doors open. An infamous and dangerous trick is ghost-riding, which is when someone exits a car while it is in drive and stands or dances in the street alongside the moving vehicle. Hernandez said another common sight is people sticking out of the sunroof as someone else drives. Sideshows in the Bay Area have taken place at all times of the day and night, sometimes running into the early hours of the morning. Q: Why are sideshows illegal? Although young people participating and watching sideshows in the past kept their activities to abandoned or unused areas, like parking lots, University of Redlands professor Jennifer Tilton said local businesses and city leaders complained about tire tracks in the street and the noise in the late evening and early morning hours caused by drivers, large crowds and loud music, leading to police cracking down. Aside from the danger posed by the stunts performed by drivers, Sanchez said violence has been increasing around sideshows. He gave examples of stolen vehicles, assaults and people in the crowd carrying guns and shooting them off into the air. He also pointed to looting and vandalism of storefronts near intersections where sideshows occur.

(CHP Golden Gate Division’s Air Operations) While the crackdowns pushed some events into neighborhoods and smaller street intersections, other sideshows moved to large arteries, like Stevens Creek Boulevard and Winchester Boulevard, which interrupted the flow of traffic. When police came to bust drivers, the resulting car chase became a part of the thrill and added to the danger. Additionally, because sideshows would attract large crowds, Sanchez said it can take “almost a small army” to break up the activity, which puts a strain on the police’s resources when they are needed elsewhere. Q: What is Bay Area law enforcement doing about sideshows? For as long as sideshows have existed, expression and enforcement has been a cat-and-mouse game between promoters and police. People driving in sideshows can be charged with a misdemeanor offense such as reckless driving, and face a number of penalties, including fines, jail time, vehicle impoundment or driver’s license suspension. In some California cities, including San Jose and Oakland, watching a sideshow could be punishable with fines , jail time, probation or community service. Since the early 2000s, Oakland has passed a series of laws criminalizing sideshows, enabling police to seize involved cars and ticketing people for watching them. The Oakland Department of Transportation introduced a pilot program in 2021 intended to curb sideshow activity: One part included building curb extensions and traffic islands to reduce the number of intersections where a sideshow could take place, and another focused on modifying street surfaces with different materials, like steel plates, to deter sideshow activities in a low-cost way. In San Jose, Sanchez said the police use a variety of strategies to find and break up sideshows and their organizers, leading to a “nice downward tick” in sideshow activity in the South Bay city. They monitor social media to find out when and where a sideshow might occur and schedule more officers on duty, if possible. They also also use license plate reader cameras and other intelligence to identify promoters, spectators and the cars they drive. Because sideshows can quickly move from intersection to intersection, Sanchez said they also share information with other Bay Area jurisdictions to identify drivers and vehicles. “What we’ve tried to do in San Jose is try to bring some awareness to sideshows, the violence that actually comes with it,” Sanchez said. Q: How did sideshows first start? Sideshows first started coming onto the scene around the late 1980s and early 1990s, said Tilton. One of the most notable places where sideshows took place was the Eastmont Mall parking lot, she said. Formerly a car factory in the early 20th century, the location provided jobs for working class people. But as East Oakland integrated in the late 1960s, the predominantly white community in the area moved out to the suburbs, taking their businesses and their capital with them. The mall — built in the early 1980s to serve a burgeoning population of mostly Black middle class residents — was on the decline by the end of the decade, leaving young people without a major recreational outlet. Tilton said the young people in East Oakland, specifically young Black people, at the time told her that there was “nothing to do in East Oakland” and there were “no spaces in which they were welcome.” So, sideshows were born out of their boredom and lack of public space where they could come together. And in the early days, it was seen as a positive thing young people could do with their time as an alternative to getting involved in the drug market.

BERLIN (AP) — Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk caused uproar after backing Germany’s far-right party in a major newspaper ahead of key parliamentary elections in the Western European country, leading to the resignation of the paper’s opinion editor in protest. Germany is to vote in an early election on Feb. 23 after Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s three-party governing coalition collapsed last month in a dispute over how to revitalize the country’s stagnant economy. Musk's guest opinion piece for Welt am Sonntag — a sister publication of POLITICO owned by the Axel Springer Group — published in German over the weekend, was the second time this month he supported the Alternative for Germany, or AfD. “The Alternative for Germany (AfD) is the last spark of hope for this country," Musk wrote in his translated commentary. He went on to say the far-right party “can lead the country into a future where economic prosperity, cultural integrity and technological innovation are not just wishes, but reality.” The Tesla Motors CEO also wrote that his investment in Germany gave him the right to comment on the country's condition. The AfD is polling strongly, but its candidate for the top job, Alice Weidel , has no realistic chance of becoming chancellor because other parties refuse to work with the far-right party. An ally of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, the technology billionaire challenged in his opinion piece the party's public image. “The portrayal of the AfD as right-wing extremist is clearly false, considering that Alice Weidel, the party’s leader, has a same-sex partner from Sri Lanka! Does that sound like Hitler to you? Please!” Musk’s commentary has led to a debate in German media over the boundaries of free speech, with the paper's own opinion editor announcing her resignation, pointedly on Musk's social media platform, X. “I always enjoyed leading the opinion section of WELT and WAMS. Today an article by Elon Musk appeared in Welt am Sonntag. I handed in my resignation yesterday after it went to print," Eva Marie Kogel wrote. The newspaper was also attacked by politicians and other media for offering Musk, an outsider, a platform to express his views, in favor of the AfD. Candidate for chancellor, Friedrich Merz, of the Christian Democratic Union, said Sunday that Musk's comments were “intrusive and presumptuous”. He was speaking to the newspapers of the German Funke Media Group. Co-leader of the Social Democratic Party, Saskia Esken said that “Anyone who tries to influence our election from outside, who supports an anti-democratic, misanthropic party like the AfD, whether the influence is organized by the state from Russia or by the concentrated financial and media power of Elon Musk and his billionaire friends on the Springer board, must expect our tough resistance,” according to the ARD national public TV network. Musk's opinion piece in the Welt am Sonntag was accompanied by a critical article by the future editor-in-chief of the Welt group, Jan Philipp Burgard. “Musk’s diagnosis is correct, but his therapeutic approach, that only the AfD can save Germany, is fatally wrong,” Burgard wrote. Responding to a request for comment from the German Press Agency, dpa, the current editor-in-chief of the Welt group, Ulf Poschardt, and Burgard — who is due to take over on Jan. 1 — said in a joint statement that the discussion over Musk's piece was "very insightful. Democracy and journalism thrive on freedom of expression.” “This will continue to determine the compass of the “world” in the future. We will develop “Die Welt” even more decisively as a forum for such debates,” they wrote to dpa.

TSM’s potential engagement in this arena suggests a desire to be at the forefront of groundbreaking tech applications, possibly to enhance gaming environments or even explore avenues outside traditional gaming. Such a strategy could diversify TSM’s offerings and income sources, enabling them to leverage technology to redefine the eSports landscape. Benefits and Challenges for the Gaming Ecosystem If TSM successfully harnesses pre-market technologies, it could pioneer game-changing advancements, such as cutting-edge gaming interfaces and ultra-immersive virtual realities. These innovations have the potential to elevate gaming not just in entertainment, but as a competitive, skill-enhancing field. However, such a pivot could also entail several challenges, including the need for significant investment, talent acquisition, and a robust understanding of emerging technologies to minimize risks. Gaming Ventures Redefined: Comparison with Industry Trends TSM’s potential entry into tech solutions aligns with broader industry trends where traditional gaming entities are merging with technology sectors. This includes integrating artificial intelligence for personalized gaming experiences or leveraging virtual reality for more immersive play. As Team SoloMid explores this new path, their strategy may act as a blueprint for others in the gaming sector grappling with the fast-paced technological evolution. Predictions and Future Impact Speculation abounds on TSM’s next steps, with industry experts predicting collaborations with tech startups and investments in nascent tech sectors. Should these endeavors materialize, TSM could become a pivotal player not only in competitive gaming but also in the field of technological innovation. The successful merger of gaming and pre-market tech might transform TSM into a model of evolution for similar organizations seeking sustainability and growth in an ever-changing digital space.
