Re:Google Pay app will no longer be available on Thursday February 22, 2024 @05:23PM (#39474160)
There's the Google Pay service that processes payments.

There's the old Google Pay app that got rebranded as Google Wallet.

And then there's a newer Google Pay app available only in the US, Singapore, and India. This is the one getting shutdown.

Re:Apple Card’s new high-yield Savings account is now available, offer... on Monday April 17, 2023 @08:25PM (#35608471)
It's a semi-hidden product called Preferred Deposit under BofA's Merrill subsidiary:

Big banks like Chase and Morgan Stanley have similar deposit products tied to their investment/wealth management arms:

They are not really competitive due to the high initial deposit or total balance requirements, as there are smaller banks that offer higher yields and no requirements. These products mostly function as an incentive for higher net worth individuals to maintain the relationship with their existing big bank.

Here are two manually curated lists of the currently highest yielding FDIC-insured deposit accounts in the US:

4.15% is good, but there are better options, including with big banks like Bank of America (4.50% currently, though with an initial deposit requirement of $100k).

Interestingly, Disney's new Chip 'n Dale movie actually features a cameo of Crumb's Mr. Natural character.

Re:Corel confirms it has acquired virtualization specialist Parallels on Thursday December 20, 2018 @03:52PM (#18729020)
Corel Painter has its niche among digital artists - it's still one of the higher end digital painting programs that simulates real life mediums (acrylic, oil, watercolor) remarkably well.

There's really no iPad equivalent to Corel Painter, but Corel registered the procreate.com domain to redirect to their Painter product page (Procreate (procreate.art) by the Australian company Savage is one of the strongest digital art applications on the iPad).

Corel has also recently purchased Gravit Designer, which presumably will stand as their main digital design app that competes with Sketch and Adobe XD.

PowerDVD is CyberLink, you're probably thinking WinDVD (which apparently is still getting new updates).
