Samsung’s first-ever XR headset, Project Moohan, is finally inching towards launch, and there could be good and bad news for anyone dying to know where it fits on the price spectrum. The good news? According to leaks from a Korean news outlet, Newsworks, Project Moohan will cost less than Apple’s wildly expensive Vision Pro, which debuted at $3,500. Phew! Price crisis averted, right? Wrong.

Apple Revokes EU Distribution Rights for an App on the Alt Store

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-30 23:15:54

Under EU law, Apple is required to give its users more freedom to install apps that are not listed in the official App Store. This allows for easier access to software that's typically prohibited by Apple, including the popular iTorrent BitTorrent client. The iTorrent client built a steady user base over the past year, but that came to an abrupt end when Apple decided to revoke the developer's alternative distribution rights. Historically, Apple has banned torrent clients from its iOS devices.

Most people with type 1 diabetes inject insulin to prevent their blood sugar levels from getting too high. However, if their blood sugar gets too low, it can lead to confusion, seizures, and even death. To combat this hypoglycemia, some patients carry syringes of glucagon, a hormone that stimulates release of glucose.
