在 Windows PC 阵营里，触摸屏早已不是新鲜事，但苹果却始终坚持“不做”。哪怕 iPad、iPhone 早已把触控体验做到极致，MacBook 依旧停留在“键盘 + 触控板”的交互范式。 2010 年，乔布斯曾在 MacBook Pro 发布会上指出，在笔记本电脑上装触摸屏“不符合人体工学”，“绝对行不通”；2012 年，刚继任苹果 CEO 的库克也嘲笑过微软 Surface 就像是“把烤...

Sudanese gold exports to the United Arab Emirates plunged last year, after the military-backed government ended relations with the Gulf state. The North African nation sent about 8.2 metric tons of gold to the UAE in 2025, down from 22.2 tons the year before, according to data shared with Bloomberg by the Sudanese central bank. As a result, the proportion of Sudan’s total gold shipments that went to the UAE fell to 56% from 99% over the same period. The bullion was exported elsewhere, including to Egypt, which received 4.9 tons worth $517 million in 2025 — a roughly 20-fold increase from the year before. Shipments to Oman doubled to 0.7 tons, valued at $77 million.

Sudanese authorities formally cut ties with the UAE last May, and have repeatedly accused Abu Dhabi of backing the Rapid Support Forces, the paramilitary group that’s battling the army for control of the country. The UAE has consistently denied the allegations, saying it supports neither side. The Gulf state last month repeated its call for an immediate ceasefire and a political transition. From August, there were indications some ships carrying Sudanese cargoes were having trouble entering the UAE - a development that affected some fuel cargoes from Sudan’s Red Sea ports.

Ethiopia — which previously imported none — got 294 kilograms worth $31 million, the data show. Sudan officially shipped 14.7 tons l...
