The year is slowly but surely moving forward, and so is the tech world. That’s why it’s time again for a Sir Apfelot newsreel this Friday. In this issue I will show you which Apple and tech news I particularly noticed in calendar week 6 of 2023. Today’s reports include these: European DNS started with youth protection settings, Zoom cuts 1.300 jobs, EU still allows built-in batteries in smartphones and tablets, Apple apps soon on webOS devices, new games and retro offers for the Switch featured in a Nintendo Direct, and more.A “Domain Name System”, or DNS for short, ensures that websites can be reached via their domain names.

How to dem official blog post of Zoom boss Eric Yuan on the subject, there should be some compensation for the dismissed “Zoomies” – such as a severance payment equal to the salary of up to 16 weeks, the payment of bonuses already earned, stock options as well as coaching, workshops and more like that.
