Google started processing Stadia refunds in the US last week ahead of its imminent shutdown, but now it looks like they’re starting to arrive for users in other parts of the world.
A report from 9to5Google indicates that people in the UK, Canada, Italy, Spain, Germany, Sweden, Poland, and other European countries are starting to get their money back on Stadia subscriptions, games, and add-ons.
In an interview with CBS Mornings, Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms the company is now being very “deliberate” in its hiring and that it’s only bringing new staff members on board in certain departments.
We believe strongly in investing for the long term and we don’t believe you can save your way to prosperity. We think you invest your way to it.
In July, Bloomberg reported Apple planned to slow hiring in 2023 and that not-quite-a-freeze may be setting in early, while other Big Tech companies like Amazon, Google, Meta, and Microsoft undergo their own hiring freezes and layoffs.
Crypto exchange AAX blames the up to 10-day freeze on a system update gone wrong, citing the “failure of our third-party partner,” which caused some users’ balance data to be improperly recorded.
The company says it’s pausing transactions to “minimize risk” while it works to “manually proofread and restore the system.”
