Although we’re well past the days when it was routine for most folks to plug their iPhones into their computers, there are still reasons why you may prefer to do so, especially if you don’t want to pay for or rely on cloud storage for everything. For example, it’s generally the best way to go if you want to back up your iPhone to your computer or transfer photos directly onto your Mac or PC. It may also be necessary to use your computer to restore your iPhone back to factory settings when it’s acting up. Ordinarily, your iPhone should…
U.N. officials and aid groups called for countries to reconsider their decision to pause funding for the U.N. refugee agency for Palestinians on Sunday, warning that its life-saving aid for some two million people in Gaza was in jeopardy. At least nine countries, including top donors the United States and Germany, have paused funding for the U.N. refugee agency for Palestinians (UNRWA) following allegations by Israel that some of its staff were involved in the deadly Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on Israel that killed 1,200 people. “While I understand their concerns – I was myself horrified by these accusations -…
Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (Vara) expects to build on its efforts on establishing Dubai as the leading, responsible hub for regulated virtual assets. The body issued a record number of regulatory licences within its first year of full operations, fostering a secure, reliable and inclusive ecosystem of TradFi x DeFi operations. The year 2023 was marred by continued volatility in the world of virtual assets, while bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency, marked a strong revival. Yet, it will also go down as being exemplary of the purposefulness of a secure and traceable VA network – making it the DNA of…
When she was just four, Sara, now a working professional aged 25 years, noticed some abscesses on her hair follicles. These subsequently reappeared when she was 12 and 14. “Over the course of 10 years, I consulted with 15 healthcare professionals and underwent various treatments – none of which seemed to provide a lasting solution. The misdiagnoses during this period added to the complexity of managing the condition,” Sara says. Eventually, she found a dermatologist who correctly identified the disease as Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS), a chronic inflammatory skin condition. “Throughout my school years, HS had a significant impact on my…
Jannik Sinner said he was ready for the pressure and expectation that came with being a Grand Slam champion after becoming the first Italian to win the Australian Open by beating Daniil Medvedev in the final on Sunday. Being forced to come from two sets down in a first Grand Slam final would test the nerves of any player but the 22-year-old dealt with the pressure in the ice-cool manner with which he has met all success, and failure, over his young career. “There is always pressure but the pressure is something good. You have to take it in a…
Apple gave the Vision Pro headset incredible clarity. We know this even before the release date because a few people have received an invitation from Apple to try the Vision Pro for a brief time. In a few more days, the Vision Pro will launch more widely, so you can make an appointment at an Apple Store to check out the Vision Pro for yourself. None of that matters, though, if people who wear glasses can’t use prescription lenses to enjoy the Vision Pro’s large, sharp screens. That might be one of the most important questions to answer for more…
Hold onto your woollies a little longer! After a burst of heavy showers in Dubai and Sharjah on Sunday morning, residents in the UAE should brace themselves for cooler days ahead, with temperatures expected to drop by up to 5°C over the next two days. This change is attributed to the low-pressure system originating from the East, which also triggered rainfall on Sunday morning. Speaking to Khaleej Times, Dr Ahmed Habib from the National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) explained the reason behind the overcast skies and the eventual downpour. The veteran weather forecaster also explained that parts of Dubai, including…
Former U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Sunday that she thinks some protests in the United States demanding a ceasefire in Gaza could be linked to Russia, and that the FBI should conduct a probe into their funding. Pelosi, who made the remarks in a CNN interview, provided no evidence for her claims. She was asked whether opposition to President Joe Biden’s policy in the war in Gaza could hurt the Democrat in November’s presidential election. “For them to call for a ceasefire is Mr. Putin’s message. Make no mistake, this is directly connected to what he…

If the parent company fails to settle the tax by the due date, all members are jointly and severally liable to pay. While…
There’s no better way to reverse bad press than a genuine apology tour. GPUs are on a bit of one right now in an attempt to win back the goodwill of PC gamers with juiced-up specs, better pricing, and some fancy new branding. Most obviously, we can see this with Nvidia’s RTX 40-series Super GPUs, but AMD is also throwing its hat in the ring with the RX 7600 XT, too. Nvidia and AMD are responding to the rather disappointing year that GPUs just had, and in the process, they’re proving that enough discontent can bring the GPU market to…
