SP Council of States Jositsch: Switzerland must defend itself against climate ruling

nzz.ch/schweiz/daniel-jositsch-zum-klima-urteil-die-schweiz-muss-im-europarat-klar-machen-dass-es-so-nicht-geht-ld.1826596

Quick Glance: SP Councilor Jositsch: Switzerland must resist climate ruling

SP Councilor Jositsch warns of the consequences of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) climate ruling. He considers the ruling dangerous and criticizes the court's interference in political decisions.

Jositsch emphasizes that the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) cannot be changed as it requires unanimity among all member states. He believes that the task of legal development lies with politics and warns against holding a single country responsible for global issues.

He criticizes the court for overriding the popular vote on CO2 legislation in Switzerland and stresses the importance of the court's acceptance. Jositsch warns of potential impacts of the ruling on the mood in future negotiations with the EU.

Jositsch sees the ruling as a dangerous precedent and calls for limiting the court's powers to the core content of human rights. He opposes Switzerland's withdrawal from the ECHR and instead advocates for a clear position within the Council of Europe.

Apple loses top phonemaker spot to Samsung as iPhone shipments drop, research company says

nbcnews.com/business/business-news/apple-loses-top-phonemaker-spot-samsung-iphone-shipments-drop-research-rcna147828

Quick Glance: iPhone sales plummet. Here's why

Apple’s smartphone sales dropped by 10% last quarter, primarily due to a sharp decline in sales in China.

Samsung had been the top smartphone manufacturer for 12 years, but Apple briefly took the top spot last year.

The global smartphone market is showing signs of recovery with a 7.8% increase in smartphone shipments in the first quarter of 2024.

Despite expectations for Apple and Samsung to maintain their market dominance, the rise of Huawei and other Chinese manufacturers like Xiaomi and OPPO/OnePlus may continue.

Quick Glance: Switzerland's Participation in European Air Defense Initiative

The Swiss Federal Council approved the country's participation in the European Sky Shield Initiative aimed at establishing an integrated air and missile defense system in Europe.

Several countries, including non-NATO members like Germany, Britain, and Finland, have joined the project to coordinate procurement of air and missile defense systems and facilitate cooperation in training, maintenance, and logistics.

Despite the membership declaration, Switzerland retains the freedom to decide its level of participation in ESSI and the ground-to-air defense systems it intends to acquire.

Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, neutral Switzerland has faced pressure from its European neighbors to support Ukraine militarily by allowing the re-export of Swiss-made armaments.

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.
