Apple TV+ is losing $1 billion annually. Apple Music is barely profitable. Apple News+, Fitness+ and Apple Arcade don't have much usage.

My family subscribes to Apple One, mainly for iCloud+, Music and to some extent News+. I used Fitness+ sporadically and Arcade is something that anyone in the family uses. If I stop playing the mini crossword, I wouldn't be in News+ very much. It would be cheaper for me to get iCloud+ and Music -- and this maybe something I do in the near future.

"The report adds that most users do not sign up directly for Apple's services, instead opting for an Apple One bundle, which inflates the perceived interest in each service. Many who sign up to ‌Apple One‌ are motivated to subscribe so primarily because of ‌iCloud‌+ rather than other services. Without ‌Apple One‌, ‌Apple Arcade‌ and Apple Fitness+ would not be profitable."

MacRumors · Report: TV+ Losing $1 Billion Annually as Apple Services FalterBy Hartley Charlton

From a series of voxel art tributes to childhood game nostalgia I made in the 2000s.

As there were no voxel editors (Minecraft didn't exist yet), I made the works by extruding polygons in 3ds Max.

Some high-res images from this series are available here…

Hi!
I'm trying to find a game I used to play on arcades in the 80's. Can't remember its name or editor, so I am left with just a description.

I think I came across it on #mame a few years ago, but lost track of it.

It's a vertical scrolling shoot 'em up, where the player impersonates a chopper.

The chopper firing range varies depending on the movement... i.e. if you move forward on the screen, the chopper tilts forward and it's able to shoot targets on the ground, while when steady it shoots only flying enemies. When leaning left and right the chopper not only slides, but turns a little bit, so that the shoots are angled.
Targets you can find: choppers, planes, ground vehicles and buildings, and also cows and soldiers.
