When Tony Gilroy and his Andor star Diego Luna decided to cram half a decade’s worth of new Star Wars lore into three episodes per year leading up to the events of Rogue One, they knew the task was unbelievably ambitious. In a chat with the Wrap, Gilroy expressed the excitement everyone involved felt over their great big heist of an entry into Lucasfilm’s Star Wars lore. “We kept waiting for it to fail, going, ‘There must be something that’s going to bite us here.’ We kept waiting for a bugaboo

Dutch court upholds antitrust ruling against Apple over App Store and dating apps

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-03-17 09:31:14

Apple has been dealt another regulatory blow in Europe this week. A court in Rotterdam has upheld a 2021 decision by the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM), confirming that the company abused its dominant App Store position. Or at least when it comes to dating apps. This specific case centers on Apple’s long-standing requirement that app developers use its in-app payment system (IAP) for digital purchases, with no option to direct users to external payment methods.

OpenTelemetry for Go: Measuring overhead costs

Everything comes at a cost — and observability is no exception.
