謝展寰：十一黃金周前西貢東營地試行預約制 考慮夥旅遊公司推旅行團 To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 【有線新聞】政府研究在郊遊及露營熱點引入預約及收費制度，環境及生態局局長謝展寰說，已要求不遲於十一黃金周，首先在西貢東營地試行預約制，下一步才研究收費。謝展寰：「世界各地熱門的旅遊地點、郊野、國家公園很多都收費，原因是收費可以令管理、設施更好。我們可以在假期、某些時候才收費，讓本地人可以在不收費的時候去。有很多方法去處理那些問題，但收費有很明顯的好處。」 他強調收費方式有很多種，不一定只是營地收費，亦可以考慮夥拍旅遊公司，推出旅遊產品或旅行團。

Microsoft announced on Friday a series of changes focused on improving the quality of its Windows 11 operating system, which notably includes dialing back the number of entry points to its AI assistant, Copilot. The company said it will reduce Copilot AI integrations in some apps, starting with Photos, Widgets, Notepad, and its Snipping Tool. Under the heading of “integrating AI where it’s most meaningful,” Pavan Davuluri, EVP of Windows and Devices, wrote on the company’s blog that Microsoft is becoming more intentional about “how and where Copilot integrates across Windows. Its goal, he explained, is to focus on AI experiences that are “genuinely useful.” This “less-is-more” approach to integrating AI into existing platforms may reflect the growing consumer pushback against AI bloat. While many people today understand AI to be a useful tool, there are also concerns around trust and safety. For instance, a Pew Research study published this month noted that half of U.S. adults are now more concerned than excited about AI as of June 2025, up from 37% in 2021. This is not the first time Microsoft has rethought its Copilot integrations. Earlier this month, the news site Windows Central said the company’s plan to ship Copilot-branded AI features across Windows 11 had been quietly shelved. This, the site said, included some system-level integrations within the Settings app, File Explorer, and elsewhere. Before this, Microsoft had delayed the launch of its AI-powered memory feature, Windows Recall for Copilot + PCs, for over a year as it tried to address users’ privacy concerns. The Recall feature launched last April, but security vulnerabilities are still being discovered. It’s clear that user feedback is influencing Microsoft’s moves around AI on Windows. Davuluri wrote that he and his team have spent the past several months listening to the community about how they’d like to see Windows improved. The Copilot rollback is just one of the changes being made. The company s...

Canadian stocks erased all of their gains for the year as shares of gold producers tumbled and traders bet that central banks may not rush to cut interest rates due to the inflationary effects of the Iran war. The S&P/TSX Composite Index fell 1.7% on Friday, hitting its lowest level since the middle of December. Most of day’s worst performers were gold and silver firms, with B2Gold Corp. and Vizsla Silver Corp. among the biggest decliners in the session. Lithium Americas Corp. was the worst performer on the TSX on Friday. The index’s 13% weighting towards gold producers helped it reach record highs last year as the price of the precious metal soared. Lately, it’s been a liability, with gold down about 15% since the conflict began. The recent surge in oil prices has spurred concerns about rising inflation , making it more difficult for central banks to reduce interest rates. Lower borrowing costs are often a boon for gold-related assets since the metal doesn’t pay out interest.

Hackers have compromised virtually all versions of Aqua Security’s widely used Trivy vulnerability scanner in an ongoing supply chain attack that could have wide-ranging consequences for developers and the organizations that use them. Trivy maintainer Itay Shakury confirmed the compromise on Friday, following rumors and a thread , since deleted by the attackers, discussing the incident. The attack began in the early hours of Thursday. When it was done, the threat actor had used stolen credentials to force-push all but one of the trivy-action tags and seven setup-trivy tags to use malicious dependencies. Assume your pipelines are compromised A forced push is a git command that overrides a default safety mechanism that protects against overwriting existing commits. Trivy is a vulnerability scanner that developers use to detect vulnerabilities and inadvertently hardcoded authentication secrets in pipelines for developing and deploying software updates. The scanner has 33,200 stars on GitHub, a high rating that indicates it’s used widely. Read full article Comments

April Nymex natural gas (NGJ26) on Friday closed down -0.071 (-2.24%). Nat-gas prices moved lower on Friday as warming US weather forecasts could lead to reduced nat-gas heating demand. The Commodity Weather Group on Friday said forecasts shifted warmer, with above-average temperatures expected across the western half of the US through March 29. Don’t Miss a Day: Further downside in nat-gas prices may be limited in the near term after Qatar on Thursday reported "extensive damage" at the world's largest natural gas export plant at Ras Laffan Industrial City. Qatar said the attacks by Iran damaged 17% of Ras Laffan's LNG export capacity, a damage that will take three to five years to repair. The Ras Laffan plant accounts for about 20% of global liquefied natural gas supply, and a reduction in its capacity could boost US nat-gas exports. Also, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz due to the war in Iran has sharply curtailed nat-gas supplies to Europe and Asia. US (lower-48) dry gas production on Friday was 112.7 bcf/day (+4.8% y/y), according to BNEF. Lower-48 state gas demand on Friday was 65.4 bcf/day (-22.9% y/y), according to BNEF. Estimated LNG net flows to US LNG export terminals on Friday were 19.9 bcf/day (+0.3% w/w), according to BNEF. Projections for higher US nat-gas production are bearish for prices. On February 17, the EIA raised its forecast for 2026 US dry nat-gas production to 109.97 bcf/day from last month's estimate of 108.82 bcf/day. US nat-gas production is currently near a record high, with active US nat-gas rigs posting a 2.5-year high last Friday. As a positive factor for gas prices, the Edison Electric Institute reported Wednesday that US (lower-48) electricity output in the week ended March 14 rose +4.1% y/y to 75,247 GWh (gigawatt hours). Also, US electricity output in the 52-week period ending March 14 rose +1.7% y/y to 4,311,070 GWh. Thursday's weekly EIA report was bearish for nat-gas prices, as nat-gas inventories for the week ended March 1...

Legendary Midwest Fast-Food Icon Spirals Into Bankruptcy Another fast-food institution is fighting for its life as Byron’s Kitchen files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection amid a brutal wave of restaurant closures and restructurings sweeping the food industry, according to The Street . The Chicago-based chain, a beloved local staple since 1975 and now marking over 50 years of slinging dogs, officially sought bankruptcy relief on March 16 in the Northern District of Illinois. Owner Mike Payne and the team behind Byron’s Kitchen Incorporated are using the filing to restructure crushing financial obligations while keeping the grills firing at their two remaining locations. “As of 2025, the company maintains active operations at two primary locations situated at 1701 W. Lawrence Ave and 1017 W. Irving Park Rd," RK Consulting reported on X. The chain even recently poured money into upgrades like new indoor heated seating, a clear sign they’re betting on survival rather than surrender. “Byron’s goes a step further than [the] classic Chicago style hot dog where you have mustard, relish, tomato, onion, pickle, hot peppers, and celery salt,” Payne said of Byron’s. “ We take it a few steps further with lettuce, cucumber, and green peppers to the classic ingredients of the Chicago-style hot dog , and that’s how we came up with the Byron’s hot dog. We call it a meal on a bun.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Yucking (@yuckingitup) The filing comes against a grim backdrop of big-name fast-food chains slashing locations left and right this year. Wendy’s is gearing up to shutter 298–358 U.S. locations in the first half of the year alone after sales slipped, while Pizza Hut plans to close around 250 underperformers . Further more, Papa John’s is targeting roughly 200 locations this year as part of a broader cull. “ Restaurants that exist today may not exist in five years. They’ll be off the map ,” bankruptcy attorney Daniel Gielchinsky told Fox 4 . Additionally, cons...

Roman Tiraspolsky/iStock Editorial via Getty Images As I’ve covered almost two years ago, Jefferies Financial Group Inc. ( JEF ) does not have any competitive advantage in the investment banking industry and has a cyclical business. While the operating landscape has been positive in recent years for investment banks, Jefferies has been under pressure lately due to its private credit exposures, leading to a very weak share price performance lately. Since my initial coverage on Jefferies back in May 2024, its shares have declined by more than 13%, when including dividends, and have underperformed the overall stock market ( SPY ) by a significant margin. Article performance (Seeking Alpha) In recent months, Jefferies has performed quite badly and has underperformed its closest peers, as the company had exposure to private credit defaults of First Brands Group and U.K.’s Market Financial Solutions (MFS). While losses from these events may be manageable and are within the bank’s risk tolerance, this raised questions about its risk management and credit due diligence, leading to negative sentiment toward its shares over the past few months. Jefferies was not the only bank exposed to these defaults, as I’ve covered recently on Wells Fargo ( WFC ), but due to its business concentration in corporate and investment banking it has been much more penalized than its peers by rising concerns about private credit exposures. As shown in the next graph, Jefferies has clearly underperformed some of its closest peers, including JPMorgan Chase ( JPM ), Bank of America ( BAC ), or Morgan Stanley ( MS ), over the last six months, when the first signs about potential issues in the private credit sector emerged, following the defaults of Tricolor Holdings and First Brands Group. Jefferies vs. peers (Seeking Alpha) Jefferies’ exposure to First Brands Group was about $715 million in receivables linked to First Brands, even though this was an indirect exposure through Point Bonita, which is a...

What Happened? A number of stocks fell in the afternoon session after federal prosecutors charged a Super Micro Computer co-founder with conspiring to smuggle billions of dollars in AI chips to China. The news of federal export control violations triggered a sharp selloff, with Super Micro's shares cratering over 28%. The charges created broader anxiety across the AI semiconductor industry, contributing to declines in other major chip stocks like AMD. This development exacerbated a wider downturn in the tech-heavy Nasdaq, as investors reacted to the serious allegations and the potential for stricter regulations on advanced technology exports. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks.

Defending champion Jeremiah Azu narrowly missed out on a medal in the men's 60m final at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Poland. Twelve months after claiming the first global title of his career by winning world indoor gold in China, Azu missed out on a return to the podium by just 0.01 seconds as he clocked 6.46 in Torun. The 24-year-old always faced fierce competition as he sought to defend his title but displayed his medal credentials by improving his personal best to 6.45 in the semi-finals - a time which moved him to second on the British all-time list behind Dwain Chambers. American Jordan Anthony, who arrived at the championships as the fastest man this year, improved to 6.41 to lead Jamaica's Olympic and world 100m silver medallist Kishane Thompson across the line. Thompson and American Trayvon Bromell both finished in 6.45 to complete the podium as Azu was denied in a thrilling conclusion to the opening day of action. Earlier on Friday, Olympic champion and indoor world record holder Keely Hodgkinson controlled her women's 800m heat from start to finish to win in 2:00.32 and reach the semi-finals, where she will be joined by team-mate Isabelle Boffey. World bronze medallist Ben Pattison (1:47.48) advanced in the men's event, which also takes place on Saturday morning. More to follow.

We just covered the 10 Best Stocks to Buy Now According to Warren Buffett. Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) ranks #10 (see the 5 best stocks to buy now here). Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) rapid shift from a search-first company to an AI powerhouse has been remarkable. Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) was quick to go all-in on its Gemini AI product and the results are already visible. Gemini Enterprise has reached 8 million seats. With a $30 per user/month price, it translates to a roughly $2.8 billion annual revenue run rate from a product that essentially didn’t exist two years ago. While AI engines are impacting Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) search/ads business, analysts believe it can offset those declines with agentic commerce and AI native ads in Gemini. Gemini crossed 750 million MAUs in early 2026, up from roughly 450 million a year prior. Google Cloud is fast becoming a viable income stream that could offset the major transition Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL) search business is seeing. In the recently reported quarter, Google Cloud revenue rose 48% year over year to hit a $70 billion annual run rate in 2026. About 75% of Google Cloud customers now use Gemini-powered tools. GOOG shares are up 90% over the past 12 months. The stock’s forward P/E of 27–29x is still in line with its 10-year historical average and lower than major tech stocks like Microsoft and Amazon, while maintaining faster-than-average cloud and AI growth. This makes GOOG one of the best stocks to buy for 2026 and beyond. Jensen Quality Growth Equity Strategy in its Q4 investor letter explained how AI is improving Alphabet's business instead of threatening it. Read the letter here. While we acknowledge the potential of GOOGL as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
