Switzerland wants to continue talks with the US on a legally binding trade agreement even after the Supreme Court scrapped the legal base for most of Donald Trump ’s sweeping tariffs. The government said on Friday that it remains committed to concluding an agreement that stabilizes bilateral trade relations and improves export opportunities for Swiss companies. “There is considerable uncertainty surrounding US trade policy,” the executive said in a statement . “It considers that a legally binding agreement will help to stabilize bilateral trade relations and further improve export opportunities for Swiss companies.” A first round of talks on a legally binding accord took place on Feb. 12-13 in Bern, according to Swiss President Guy Parmelin . Further talks are scheduled in the coming weeks, he said last week. Both nations had reached a preliminary trade deal in November, capping tariffs at 15%. The Supreme Court then declared the basis for these tariffs illegal in a landmark ruling last month. Trump has already leaned on alternative legislation to try to rebuild his tariff wall.

当年,微软一句“Windows 10 将是最后一个版本”的表态,让不少用户以为 Windows 进入了“只更新、不换代”的时代。但几年过去,现实却完全不同。 在 Windows 11 发布之后,如今关于 Windows 12 的传闻再次密集出现。从内部代号、代码片段,到硬件厂商的暗示与 OEM 预热标签,种种线索拼在一起,勾勒出一个明显的趋势——这不会只是一次常规升级,而更像是一次围绕 AI 的平...
当年,微软一句“Windows 10 将是最后一个版本”的表态,让不少用户以为 Windows 进入了“只更新、不换代”的时代。但几年过去,现实却完全不同。 在 Windows 11 发布之后,如今关于 Windows 12 的传闻再次密集出现。从内部代号、代码片段,到硬件厂商的暗示与 OEM 预热标签,种种线索拼在一起,勾勒出一个明显的趋势——这不会只是一次常规升级,而更像是一次围绕 AI 的平台级重构。 更关键的是,这次争议,可能远比当年 TPM 2.0 更大。 精准卡位 Windows 10 退场的时间? 目前流传最广的 Windows 12 发布时间是今年,也就是 2026 年。 业内的推测路径相当清晰:先是更多泄露与代码引用,随后可能开放 Insider 预览,最终在今年正式发布并全面铺开——而这个时间点,正好对应 Windows 10 支持在 2026 年 10 月结束(含延长 ESU 阶段)。 简单来说,新一代 Windows 12 将精准落在一个“被动升级周期”上。大量个人与企业用户届时必须做出选择:继续停留在旧系统并承担风险,还是进入新平台生态。 微软显然深知这个时间节点的战略意义。 值得注意的是,Windows 11 并不会立刻退场,而是并行支持一段时间。因此升级到 Windows 12 很可能采取渐进方式,而非一次性强推。但方向已经非常明确——平台要升级,架构要变。 架构层面重构,AI 也从附加功能变成系统核心? 据媒体爆料,Windows 12 的内部代号为 “Hudson Valley Next” ,其核心技术基础是微软多年打磨的 CorePC 模块化架构 。 这不是简单的 UI 更新,而是底层设计思路的改变。CorePC 的核心思想是模块化:系统组件高度隔离、更新粒度更细、不同设备形态可以定制不同版本。从轻量级平板到高性能台式机,都可以拥有“裁剪过”的系统形态。 简单理解的话:低性能设备可以运行更轻量的核心系统;关键模块隔离后,系统稳定性更强;云服务与本地能力之间的融合也更加灵活;更重要的是,这为“本地 + 云端”的混合 AI 架构铺平了道路——Windows 不再只是本地系统,而是一个算力调度与服务整合平台。 如果说模块化是结构升级,那么 AI 就是 Windows 12 转型的真正主线。 微软近年来在 Office、Edge、开发者工...

Gary Yeowell The CONEXPO-CON/AGG construction trade show in Las Vegas this week is expected to provide a meaningful lift to MGM Resorts ( MGM ) and Caesars Entertainment ( CZR ). CONEXPO-CON/AGG is marketed as North America’s largest construction trade show, with around 2,000 exhibitors, 2.9 million square feet of exhibits, and extensive education sessions and networking events. The event only takes place once every three years, which encourages larger delegations and longer stays that translate into elevated demand for Strip hotel rooms, restaurant bookings, and entertainment for the duration of the tradeshow.. Convention and trade show visitors are especially valuable to Strip operators because they spend more per trip than the average leisure visitor and help fill the city’s 150,000‑plus rooms during shoulder periods. Local economic analysis indicates that convention visitors spend about 30% more than typical visitors, so a large, infrequent event like CONEXPO-CON/AGG can meaningfully support MGM’s ( MGM ) and Caesars’ ( CZR ) gaming, food‑and‑beverage, and entertainment revenue lines in an otherwise softer demand environment. MGM Resorts ( MGM ), in particular, has oriented its Strip strategy toward leading the group and meetings segment. For Caesars Entertainment ( CZR ), which operates multiple Strip resorts and has recently faced year‑over‑year declines in Las Vegas revenue and net income amid a broader tourism slowdown, strong convention weeks are important catalysts to stabilize and potentially re‑accelerate top‑line trends. The convention landed in the first-quarter earnings reporting period for both casino operators.

I’ve lost count of the number of sketches I wrote from the chemo ward as Jill went through the hell of cancer treatment It’s been a while since I last wrote the digested week. Last May, my wife was diagnosed with cancer and life has been a struggle ever since. Jill’s story is hers to tell, but here are some of my initial thoughts on finding myself a primary carer on the cancer frontline (it’s always been me who’s needed looking after up till now). From that first consultation, when the doctor told us that a blood test for a tumour marker had come back raised – “How seriously should we take this?” “Very” – I had a feeling of being separated from the rest of the world. I was in a shadowland. There were those of us in Cancerworld and those who weren’t. It wasn’t that we stopped seeing family and friends – far from it, we couldn’t have got through without their love and food parcels – more that at an emotional level we were out of sync with one another. My life has become existential. I wake up every morning thinking about cancer and I go to bed thinking of cancer. Continue reading...
