[SINGAPORE] Beijing’s bet on domestic consumption to revive its flatlining economy may not stand much of a chance in the face of the American tariffs, which could wipe out millions of jobs and slash its economic growth by half – especially if the current US-China talks in Switzerland end up deepening the rift. A four-fifths reduction in Chinese exports to the US is expected to axe 6.4 million jobs – a figure that could swell to 7.8 million in a scenario where the US also restricts Chinese exports to other destinations, such as in South-east Asian countries like Vietnam. These…

Geoff Schwartz FOX Sports Betting Analyst The 2025 college football season could be the year of the quarterbacks. The preseason Heisman odds and 2026 NFL mock drafts are full of signal-callers. And truthfully, you can pick any one of these quarterbacks and have a decent shot of winning your ticket. The way I like to wager on the Heisman is by looking at the longer shots first. Those are the players who will see their number move quickly if they start fast. You’re getting a number on them now rather than later. And you can also target a favorite after he has…

That’s a good price, so long as you don’t live in your team’s market. For example, as a Giants fan, living up near Portland is perfect as I can watch all of…

Some of Intel’s best processors just got a deep discount, or rather, a (seemingly) permanent price cut — but not all chips are becoming cheaper. The company announced that it’s lowering the recommended list price (MSRP) of a couple of Arrow Lake chips. The flat $100 price reduction comes accompanied by a special game bundle promotion. Intel announced the discount in a post. The two CPUs in question are the Intel Core Ultra 7 265K, which was previously priced at $399 and is now $299, and the Core Ultra 7 265KF, once $384, now $284. There have been no further…
