Following President Lai Ching-te's statement that 'both sides of the strait are not subordinate to each other,' mainland China has been making frequent military threats. Former legislator Guo Zhengliang recently claimed that 'Lai Ching-te regards China as a paper tiger,' speculating that for future elections, they are betting that the Chinese Communist Party won't dare to attack Taiwan. In response, Wu Zijia, the chairman of the Beautiful Island Electronic News, criticized this approach, questioning if it's indirectly encouraging an attack from the mainland.

A new study confirms that exposure to bright light at night can disrupt the body's internal clock and increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Researchers from Flinders University in Australia collected data from about 85,000 people and 13 million hours of light sensor data. The study found that exposure to bright light at night, particularly between 12:30 AM and 6:00 AM, is associated with a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, as it disrupts the body's internal clock and affects insulin secretion and glucose metabolism. Maintaining darkness at night may be a simple and cost-effective way to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes.

According to the latest statistics by the foreign media 'PCGamesN' using 'SteamIDFinder,' it was calculated that the total value of games purchased but never played by users amounts to 19 billion USD. Since 'SteamIDFinder' can only search for 10% of users with public accounts, the foreign media multiplied this figure by ten, estimating that among Steam users, the value of unplayed games reaches a staggering 190 billion USD. This phenomenon is not surprising, especially during Steam sales when players notify each other of discounted popular games, ensuring no loss. Steam also excels in using communities to attract players to purchase games, offering rewards like avatars, borders, and stickers. Some players collect games for nostalgia or peace of mind, even if they don't intend to replay them. If you want to know the value of your unplayed games, you can use 'SteamIDFinder' to search for your ID and set your privacy settings to public to discover the total worth of your game collection. © Valve © PCGamesN
