Thank Goodness You're Here! is a quirky comedy video game set in a fictional northern town
"Dead reyt", "faff" and "keep gu'in" are words you don’t often see in video games.
But two pals from Yorkshire have changed all that.
God's Own Country, as the locals call it, is the inspiration for Thank Goodness You're Here!, a new game created by James Carbutt and Will Todd, from Barnsley.
In 2022, Apple agreed to pay a $50 million dollar settlement for certain eligible 2015-2019 MacBook owners who experienced problems with their butterfly keyboards. The claims process opened in late 2022, and the settlement got final approval last May. Starting today, eligible MacBook owners are finally receiving their payouts.
With the slimmed-down fall upgrades, many Apple customers in the EU will feel like second-class users. Apple is likely to have deliberately factored in this resentment in order to persuade the EU to give in. However, this tactic of instrumentalizing EU citizens as a means of exerting pressure against regulations must not be allowed to work under any circumstances. The long-term benefits of a fair digital market far outweigh the personal restrictions. Then I'll just get some features later.
But the magnitude of this selling suggests it could be more than just a tax-saving move.
After declining in the first quarter on concerns it was falling behind on artificial intelligence innovation, Apple shares took off in the second quarter, gaining 23% to a new record as it gave more detail to investors about its future in artificial intelligence.
If the butterfly keyboards were good, if they were successful, perhaps, one might argue, Apple may get to introduce a whole slate of MacBooks that are really thin and really light and great.
It's just that there is no evidence of Apple wanting and able to do that.
