TikTok CEO expects to defeat US restrictions: 'We aren't going anywhere'
Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim
  • ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

  • Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.

  • ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

  • As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.

Quick Glance: San Francisco's Real Estate Market in Turmoil
  • The city of San Francisco, once seen as the shining star of the West Coast, is now on the verge of collapse, with seemingly no one raising the alarm.

  • In particular, the city's housing market has been severely impacted over the past year, with prices plummeting and homeowners fleeing en masse.

  • Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, did not hold back in his comparison of San Francisco's issues to those of New York City, stating that the Bay Area is 'in far worse shape.'

  • San Francisco is failing in all aspects, leading to a quiet collapse of its housing market, where once luxurious properties are now being offered at significant discounts.

Quick Glance: Game Boy Emulator Released for iPhone, Allows Downloading ROMs from the Web and Playing
  • After Apple relaxed its App Store policy to allow the publishing of retro game emulators in its marketplace, iGBA, a free Game Boy emulator, becomes the first emulator available for iPhone and iPad on the App Store.

  • The developer of the iGBA Game Boy emulator is leveraging this rule change to provide users with the ability to download and enjoy game ROMs. The emulator is built upon a well-known open-source platform but comes with integrated advertisements.

  • iGBA effectively fulfills its purpose by providing seamless emulation of Game Boy games. Users can access Game Boy Advance or Game Boy Color games from various sources and load them into iGBA for gameplay. It offers a comprehensive set of features such as save states, customization of the virtual controller, haptic feedback settings, and support for AirPlay.

  • With the official availability of the iGBA emulator, which facilitates the loading and playing of downloaded ROMs, the potential release of the PPSSPP emulator on the App Store may be imminent. To access the iGBA emulator, simply follow the provided link to download it from the App Store.

  • Apple is accusing Epic Games of trying to 'micromanage' its business.

  • In a recent court filing, Apple asked a judge to reject Epic’s request to hold the company in contempt for what it says are violations of a 2021 injunction relating to Apple's App Store practices.

  • Apple says Epic’s injunction request is an attempt by the company to 'micromanage Apple’s business operations in a way that would increase Epic’s profitability,' Reuters reports.

  • Apple claims Epic is attempting to make its 'tools and technologies available to developers for free.' It also says 'Apple’s development and implementation of its framework for compliance with the injunction was undertaken in good faith.'
