Installment payments: Apple is competing with PayPal and Klarna


The Apple developer conference is actually all about software – but not this year. There was a chip premiere and new Macbooks. The group also announced that it would be able to make purchases via installment payments in the future.

Seven years after the launch of the Apple Watch, iPhone customers continue to have to wait for the introduction of a major new product category. It is an open secret in California’s Silicon Valley that Apple is working on an epoch-making project, namely its own glasses for virtual and augmented reality. Nevertheless, Apple boss Tim Cook did not once mention the words “Virtual Reality” (VR) or “Augmented Reality” (AR) in his keynote speech at the WWDC developer conference on Whit Monday.

The apple company also wants to compete with payment providers such as PayPal and Klarna and announced that purchases will be possible in future via installment payments. The offer will apply wherever Apple’s payment system is accepted. Users could split sums of money into up to four individual payments – without interest or fees.

New M2 processor

At the start of WWDC, Cook and his team also presented a whole series of further developments and detailed improvements in order to optimize the already very successful Apple products a little further. The US company also announced a new processor for its new Mac computers. Apple brought its first computer chip, the M1, onto the market two years ago and thus turned its back on its former in-house supplier.

The M1 success story will be continued with the new generations of Macbook Air and Macbook Pro laptops with the M2 processor. The M2 chip system is said to offer more performance than Apple’s first M1 chip with the same power consumption. Among other things, the M2 has a quarter more transistors, emphasized Apple technology boss Johny Srouji.

iOS 16

On the iPhone, the new iOS 16 operating system brings, among other things, more options for personalizing the lock screen with so-called widgets for functions such as displaying the weather forecast. Smartphones with the Google Android operating system have long been able to display widgets on the lock screen. Apple will also offer developers a live interface through which, for example, the arrival time of a ride service or the status of a game can be displayed on the lock screen in real time.

In Apple’s SMS alternative Messages, you will be able to correct and withdraw messages for a while. In the future, routes with up to 15 stops can be planned in the map app. In the future, apps will be able to integrate images from Apple’s “Look Around” street views – which will benefit real estate applications, for example. The Apple Watch will also be able to track sleep phases and remind users to take their medication.

With the new “Freeform” app, Apple wants to offer a kind of digital whiteboard on which multiple users can share and edit not only text, but also drawings, photos and videos across devices.

Owners of an older iPhone model also benefit from the iOS innovations, as iOS 16 runs on all Apple smartphones from the iPhone 8 onwards. However, the older iPhone 6s and iPhone 7 models are no longer able to run the very latest operating system allow. Despite shortening software support from six to five years, Apple is doing pretty well compared to the Android competition. Smartphones with the Google operating system usually stop being supplied with the latest Android system after three or four years.

At WWDC, Apple also tried to show prospects for success beyond the iPhone and Macintosh computers. Apple is getting more involved in the financial business and will expand its Apple Pay payment system with an installment model. Apple Pay Later allows users – initially only in the US – to split the cost of a purchase into four equal payments spread over six weeks, with no interest or fees for consumers. For this, Apple collects a fee from the credit and debit card issuers involved.

Big plans with car software CarPlay

Apple also showed stronger ambitions in the automotive sector. Although the mysterious Apple Car is not in sight here either, the company has big plans for its CarPlay car software. Until now it was used to bring content from an iPhone to the infotainment screen. The upcoming version should now also offer access to car functions such as controlling the air conditioning – and also be able to operate the entire instrument cluster with the speed display, for example.

The first vehicles that use this will be presented at the end of next year, it was said. Among the manufacturers that Apple says are participating in the project are Mercedes, Audi and Porsche, as well as Ford, Renault, Nissan and Volvo, among others. Google has been working for years to offer manufacturers an Android version for vehicle functions in addition to its CarPlay competitor Android Auto.

WWDC start after two Corona years

For Apple, the start of WWDC 2022 was also a step towards normality after two Corona years. But the company did not yet dare to welcome over 5,000 developers in Silicon Valley like it did in 2019. Only a few hundred developers and a few journalists were allowed to visit the futuristic company headquarters in Cupertino, the Apple Park, following a lottery. Apple reached the masses by broadcasting the recorded event on the Internet.

All WWDC participants had to wait for Apple’s data glasses, which have been speculated about for years, regardless of whether they were sitting in the Californian sun or at home in front of the screen. Most recently, expectations were fueled by media information that the company had presented its board members with a prototype of a headset that could combine digital content and images from the environment for the user. However, anyone who listened and looked closely on Whit Monday was able to recognize additional software components that could help Apple with such a device. These include improved voice control and text recognition not only in photos, but also in videos in the future.

Prevent and get rid of Palia weeds


Anyone who has already planted one or the other field with vegetables in the new Palia will certainly have become acquainted with the weeds in the fields. While you can still quickly remove the weeds by hand at first, this is quite time-consuming and annoying, especially in larger fields. So the question arises, how to get rid of the weeds in Palia? Is there anything I can do to prevent weeds?

How to get rid of the weeds in Palia

There are several ways to prevent weeds. On the one hand, certain plants and vegetables have the property that the plants around them do not grow weeds as quickly or at all. On the other hand, there are also special fertilizers that can be used to get rid of the weeds.

  • “Prevent weeds” property: The plants in Palia have certain properties that are also transferred to other plants. For example, the carrots and onions prevent weeds from growing on the plant itself and on the plants next to it. The bonus effects can also be viewed on the panel by pressing the G key to examine on the panel.
  • Use fertilizer against weeds: In addition to seeds, you can also buy fertilizers such as the weed-ex-fertilizer in Zeki’s shop. By applying the weed-ex-fertilizer on the fields, the growth of weeds is prevented.

Are there other ways to clear the fields of weeds in Palia? If something has changed here in the meantime, we would be happy to receive a brief note in the comments.

FFXIV: “Pro” tips for not so “Pro” players


Needs some advice on getting an edge on your FFXIV game?

Well, I’ve got tips for you! Here are some quick tips that you probably didn’t know and can apply to your game right now!

1. Read your tooltips: Tooltips are essential when navigating across all aspects of the game. Even the more experienced players can benefit from tooltips. Especially when you get new abilities. This is simply a difference between clearing a dungeon or continuously wiping. If you don’t read your tool tips you may miss a bunch of information about your abilities and waste your potential. Countless times healers fail at their job because they aren’t using their abilities as they should just because they don’t know their abilities well enough. Tooltips will cover you in all aspects from this.

 

 

2. Double pull mobs: when tanking Dungeons, you can almost always double pull the mobs. The way you act for three mobs versus six mobs is no different and it’ll make the dungeon go much faster and you’ll get all the commends. Now some of you may be afraid of tanking and that’s okay, but keep in mind that all of us will end up tanking at some point regardless of the job that we are playing. Overall, I think a lot of people put tanking up on a pedestal and are afraid of it. Still, in reality, the other tanks don’t want you to know that they have no idea what they’re doing either. If you are looking to buff up your gear in those challenging mob situations, try getting a head start and buy a package from SSEGold. You will get everything you need to be ahead in your game, including: FF14 Gil, items, class packages, power leveling, etc.

 

3. Everyone should do damage: Everyone’s job is to DPS and always has been. Every little bit of damage helps make the fight go by faster and can even skip the mechanics that may have been too difficult to deal with. Yes, healers should DPS when they are comfortable in doing so. Everybody takes time to learn their role, so be understanding of new players. Remember, a healer’s main job is to heal, but every bit of damage you help contribute will make it, so you need to heal less, the enemies cannot hurt the tank if they are dead.

4. The meta doesn’t matter: Don’t let anybody tell you not to play a job because it’s terrible. Every job can do every piece of content in the game. Play what you find to be the most fun, and you’ll naturally get better at the job.

5. Push Buttons: This may sound silly, but you need always to be pushing your buttons. The single most common thing that will improve your performance in this tip is you should never ever! ever! ever! be doing nothing. This is almost so important that you could even press the entirely wrong buttons, and as long as you keep your GCD (global cool downs) rolling, you could still do better than the other guy.
