Recently, Evan Osnos, a writer in New York, encountered a very helpless thing. His three-year-old son frequently entered incorrect unlock passwords for his iPad, causing the iPad to enter a locked screen state, and this locked screen state lasted for a relatively long time.

He posted a screenshot of the error message on Twitter and received more than 100 replies from netizens, including one who suggested that he should wait.

Apple's official website mentions that if an iOS device is entered incorrectly for multiple times to try to unlock, the device data will be permanently lost, which puts Osnos at risk of data loss.

This kind of thing may be more common in daily life. In the family, children's misoperation often brings unexpected trouble to parents.

For issues related to digital products like this, Apple's regulations require users to be more cautious during use. Because the importance of data is obvious, in 2023, many of people's important data are stored in electronic devices.

The National Development and Reform Commission plans to classify cryptocurrency “mining” activities as a phased-out industry in the new version of the Guidance Catalog for Industrial Structural Adjustment.

Cryptocurrency “mining” is an activity in which technicians use high-powered machines to obtain the computing power needed to create cryptocurrencies.

The act of “mining” consumes a lot of energy. In China, there has been a lot of “mining” activity in some areas over the past few years. For example, in Inner Mongolia, because the power resources there are relatively abundant, many people used to engage in this activity.

This activity consumes resources and has a certain impact on the environment. It is for this reason that the National Development and Reform Commission has introduced such a policy.

The implementation of this policy will have a great impact on relevant practitioners. According to statistics, in 2022, there will be tens of thousands of people engaged in mining-related industries. These people need to find new employment directions.

The Japanese government announced plans to introduce new banknotes on the 9th.

Finance Minister Taro Aso said that banknotes of three different denominations will be updated. This is the first time Japan has redesigned banknotes after 2004.

The character printed on the new 5,000 yen is educator Umeko Tsuda. She has been committed to promoting female education.

The new 1,000 yen note features the image of bacteriologist and physician Kitasato Shibasaburo.

This banknote update coincides with the launch of Japan's new year number "Reiwa".

From an international perspective, the renewal of Japanese banknotes is a manifestation of a new cultural phenomenon. This banknote renewal will flow to various parts of the world through activities such as international trade.

In Japan, people need to adapt to the style and anti-counterfeiting features of the new banknotes. For example, it is necessary to be able to accurately identify new banknotes when conducting transactions in stores.

Meghan is an American national. This leads to the possibility that she and her upcoming baby will pay taxes to the United States. This tax payment covers gifts they receive as well as income they earn.

The founder of American Tax Preparation Co., Ltd. mentioned that because Meghan is an American, the child automatically became a U.S. citizen.

This may result in the Royal Family's accounts being disclosed to the IRS for potential tax audits, as it relates to matters related to the British Royal Family.

If Meghan wants to avoid filing tax returns in the United States, she may have no choice but to give up her U.S. citizenship. However, CNN reported that even if she gives up her U.S. citizenship, her children will still have to pay taxes until they turn 18.

This situation illustrates the complexity of tax treatment in different countries. In the context of modern globalization, such cross-border tax disputes are not uncommon. For example, some multinational companies have encountered similar tax coordination problems.

After Osnos posted the iPad lock screen incident on the Internet, the responses given by netizens showed the characteristics of information interaction in the Internet era.

There are more than 100 responses, and everyone can give advice based on their own experience or knowledge.

This is true in other events as well. For example, when cryptocurrency policies are launched, practitioners may feedback their opinions to the National Development and Reform Commission online, or seek help from the National Development and Reform Commission.

Network replying has a positive side, it allows for brainstorming. However, sometimes online responses can contain misleading information. Therefore, people need to improve their ability to identify information when facing online responses.

These things may seem unrelated, but they all have significance at the level of international cultural exchanges.

Japanese banknotes are being updated, which may have an impact on people's international perception of Japanese culture and characters. Because the figures on Japanese banknotes represent people in Japan who have achieved achievements in different fields.

Meghan's incident involves the legal exchange and collision of British and American cultures. The impact of this cultural exchange occurs every day at the transnational level.

In the process of global integration, events in different countries influence each other and are interconnected. We need to look at the multiple connections behind these events from a more comprehensive perspective.

What do you think of the potential connections behind these seemingly unrelated events?
