Don’t get […] The post AYA Neo Next Lite is a handheld gaming PC for $299 and up (with Ryzen 4000U and a 3rd-party SteamOS build) appeared first on Liliputing.

*Citigroup is planning a major cost-cutting move amid high expenses*

Citigroup, the third-largest bank in the U.S., is planning to simplify its organization, and that includes dropping 20,000 employees in the “medium term.” The restructuring is part of Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser’s new business model, which was announced in September 2023, and the new revelation comes at a time when the bank also reported a net loss of $1.8 billion in the fourth quarter.Related: Twitch CEO announces 'difficult' decision, and its content creators aren’t happy Citigroup is expecting that the 20,000 reduction in headcount will reduce the company’s expenses by up to $2.5 billion. Even though the move may reduce costs, Citigroup is also expecting to take a $700 million to $1 billion hit due to severance and other costs related to the restructuring. When announcing future layoffs in September last year, Fraser said that the change will remove “unnecessary complexity” at the company. “These changes eliminate unnecessary complexity across the bank, increase accountability for delivering excellent client service and strengthen our ability to benefit from the natural linkages that exist amongst our businesses, all with an eye toward delivering on our medium-term targets and our Transformation,” said Fraser in a press release. CEO of Citi, Jane Fraser, speaks during a panel on tech and finance at the Global Hong Kong Global Financial Leaders Investment Summit on Nov. 7, 2023 in Hong Kong. NurPhoto/Getty Images The year 2024, which has been only two weeks long, has so far kicked off with a plethora of layoffs from large organizations. For example, on Jan. 10 Amazon announced hundreds of job cuts on the same day that Google announced that it has shrunk its headcount by hundreds across its hardware and engineering teams. Many companies have cited cost-cutting and reprioritizing their businesses as the reasoning behind the recent layoffs. Citigroup has recently faced an increase in expenses that has taken a negative toll on its pockets. The bank has reported its fourth-quarter earnings for 2023 which shows that the company garnered a revenue of $17.4 billion during the quarter, but took a major loss of $18.7 billion which the bank attributed to a multitude of costs. Some of the fees include $780 million from severance and other reorganization efforts, $1.3 billion in charges related to a “transfer risk” in Russia and Argentina, a $1.7 billion FDIC special assessment and other fees. Fraser has called her company’s earnings for the fourth-quarter “very disappointing” but claims that the bank has made “substantial progress” in “simplifying” its organization in 2023, according to its fourth-quarter earnings press release.

*Act fast: The Apple Watch Series 9 just dropped back down to its Black Friday pricing, and it won't last long*

TheStreet aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission. If you missed out on scoring an Apple Watch Series 9 during the holidays, Amazon is coming to the rescue. The online retailer is dropping the Series 9 (which was at the center of some controversy a few weeks ago) back to its Black Friday pricing. You can now get the 41mm GPS at just $329 and the 45mm GPS for $359—a $70 or 18% discount off the standard prices of $399 and $429. And if you’re signed up for Amazon Prime, you’ll get free, fast shipping. Previous discounts on the Apple Watch Series 9 have been known to sell out quickly, especially in the pink colorway. So if you’re eager to use the ‘Double Tap’ gesture, track a workout, or enjoy the always-on experience, we recommend adding to cart soon. This represents the lowest price we’ve seen the Series 9 drop to thus far in 2024, and for most of 2023, except for one ultra-rare all-time-low discount.Apple Watch Series 9 41mm GPS, $329 (was $399) at Amazon Courtesy of Amazon Like previous-generation Apple Watches, the Series 9 comes in two sizes—41mm and 45mm. The display is always on and gets plenty bright so that you can make out visuals and text in any viewing conditions. Both watches are basically the same other than size, with navigation, applications, Siri, and Apple Pay all working seamlessly thanks to the S9 processor inside. The Series 9 is just as fast as competing smartwatches from the likes of Samsung and just as fast as the Ultra 2, which boasts a larger display and more rugged design. Thanks to Apple’s latest health sensor stack on the rear, the Series 9 can track heart rate, take an ECG (electrocardiogram), measure blood oxygen levels, and read your skin temperature to identify trends. Additionally, you can track any conceivable workout from your wrist, like HIIT, dance, walking, swimming, and biking. Apple Watch Series 9 45mm GPS, $359 (was $429) at Amazon Courtesy of Amazon The star feature of the Series 9 is “Double Tap.” Beyond using the Digital Crown or just touching the screen, Double Tap allows you to tap your index finger and thumb together to quickly trigger an action. You can use it to pick up a phone call, respond to a message, pause a workout, or control music playback. It’s pretty great, and you can read more about the experience in our full review here. You can still expect all-day battery life from the Series 9, and Apple includes a fast-charging puck in the box. Just be sure you have a USB-C wall plug, like this one from Anker or an Apple-made one. Apple Watch Series 9 comes in five colors, and you can save on all of them at Amazon: PRODUCT (RED), Midnight, Starlight, Pink, and Silver included. Since they’re all $70 off at $329 or $359 for the 41mm or 45mm, the only thing left to decide is your size and color. We’d probably shop quickly. The Series 9 is the no. 1 bestseller in smartwatches on Amazon and has been purchased over 4,000 times in the last month. You can also save on select Apple Watch Series 9 models with both GPS and Cellular connectivity at Amazon.Apple Watch Series 9 41mm GPS + Cellular, $429 (was $499) at AmazonApple Watch Series 9 45mm GPS + Cellular, $459 (was $529) at Amazon

*JJ Redick reveals surprising number of NBA teams that have tried to get him to coach*

In May, JJ Redick reportedly interviewed for the head coaching vacancy of the Toronto Raptors. Redick had no experience as a head coach on any professional level, yet he was under consideration for a team that won the championship in 2019 with a president in Masai Ujiri who is one of the most respected in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He ultimately wouldn't get the role, but it was a sign that the ESPN analyst and color commentator was being considered as a coach. And his decision to even take the interview showed there was mutual interest. Redick revealed on an episode of "Pablo Torre Finds Out" on Jan. 11 that there were many more NBA teams who showed interest in him to join their staff, though not necessarily as a head coach. "I've had discussions and offers in terms of being an assistant coach and on the staff from a number of teams," Redick said. The Boston Celtics were one of them, which Redick had already revealed in the past during an episode of his podcast, "The Old Man and the Three." In the fall of 2022, Redick was asked to join the staff of then newly-hired Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla. He talked more about that process on Pablo Torre's show, which included a golf trip that turned into a recruiting session.Related: Pablo Torre is upending the norms of sports media — and his parents — with his new show "I happened to be in Boston, and I get a call from Brad Stevens," Redick said. Stevens, who is the president of basketball operations with the Celtics, asked Redick if Mazzulla could join him on the trip. They spent the next few hours playing and discussing what Redick's role would be on the staff. But there was a catch. Mazzulla was a last-minute new hire for the Celtics due to a controversy with its last head coach, Ime Udoka. Redick would thus need to start with the team in a few days. The quick turnover made his choice difficult. "How do I make this decision?" Redick said. "My kids are in school, I've planned out my life. It's hard." Redick clearly didn't take the offer from the Celtics. He's stayed with ESPN and has been promoted to the second-highest NBA broadcast team of the company together with play-by-play man Ryan Ruocco and fellow former NBA veteran Richard Jefferson. That trio falls right behind the trio of Mike Breen, Doris Burke, and Redick's former coach Doc Rivers on the totem poll of NBA's broadcast groups. But as Redick revealed to Torre, there were more than just two teams that have expressed interest. "Six to eight, I'd have to go through," Redick said.Related: ESPN's JJ Redick makes powerful critique of the sports media landscape Torre joked that the number of teams that have reached out to him could be a sign that Redick will eventually pull the trigger and get into coaching. "That tells me that people are like, 'JJ's going to crack,'" Torre said. "Inside they see it in your eyes. They see that sicko flicker." Redick is actually still coaching, but at a very different level. Redick and Torre discussed over the 50-minute show how the NBA lifer has chosen to instead become the head coach of his nine-year-old son's basketball team in Brooklyn. "I could be helping [Jayson] Tatum how to win a championship," Redick joked. "Instead, I'm trying to figure out how nine-year-olds can beat a two-three zone."

*Junk bonds could signal the next recession*

Amid calls for a U.S. recession and persistent market volatility, finding a solid investment strategy is more important than ever. Michele Schneider, Chief Strategist, MarketGauge, joined TheStreet to discuss the warning signs of a recession as well as how commodities could be safer plays during times of economic uncertainty.Related: This industry is typically resilient during recessionsFull Video Transcript Below: J.D. DURKIN: According to a survey by the National Association of Business Economics, there is basically a coin flip, a 50% chance or so of the U.S. hitting a recession in 2024. Michele, I know we were having this conversation a lot this time last year with regards to 23, but how do you think investors should best navigate potential volatility therefore in the market? MICHELE SCHNEIDER: Well, gold is certainly one area we can see that silver might be a little bit undervalued at this point, too. I think precious metals are really telling you that that that they could be the safety plays in protection against all types of risk, whether it's geopolitical or monetary or credit risks. And the second thing really is an interesting little area that a lot of people don't really follow. But I'm very interested in what happens with junk bonds. So junk bonds are high yield, high debt bonds that when there's a risk on environment, investors will buy. And even though we've seen a big move from the October lows in the junk bonds relative to what, say the what the SPY or the Nasdaq is doing, they're still incredibly low. They've really come out of a base, but they haven't fully broken out yet, which tells me that the bond traders are definitely preparing, especially as the long bonds might start to outperform and have been outperforming for a delay in the call for recession from 2023 to 2024. So that's kind of I think would be the key is keep your eye on that junk bond situation and the relationship it has to the long bonds. As long bonds have rallied and yields have come up, they haven't really moved very much. And that's often a warning not only for some kind of a capitulation in the market in terms of a correction, but also the potential of some kind of recessionary factor. Last time we saw junk bonds really in trouble, was it right before COVID and then during COVID.

*AITAH for divorcing my wife after she got an abortion?*

My (27M) and wife (27F) have been together for 4.5 years and married for 2. We've discussed kids before marriage and both agreed that we wanted kids. A couple weeks after we got married we started trying for a baby and she got pregnant, but was having doubts about kids at the time. We discussed it a bit and she said she didn't feel ready yet. I didn't pushback and let her make the decision since she's the one who's pregnant. 3 weeks ago she got pregnant again, I was excited but she still wasn't sure. She said she wanted to wait a little longer and I tried asking her for a timeline but she just said when she feels ready she'd let me know. I asked her if she still wants kids at all and she gave me a non answer where she said she doesn't know if she wants kids anymore and wouldn't elaborate. I didn't want to pressure her to do anything but I told her that I want to have kids and that I need to rethink our relationship if this is the route she wants to go. She got the abortion and I started the divorce proceedings a few weeks later. Some of our mutuals are saying I was wrong to separate because of this, and she's called me a few times sobbing. I really want to be with her but having kids and starting a family is really important to me, and it feels like she's been too unsure and unclear with what she wants and has been stringing me along in the process. Edit: Sorry, I should've clarified that the second time she got pregnant, we weren't actively trying because she hadn't said she's ready after the first abortion. Edit 2: I'm 100% pro-choice and would never want anyone to be forced to give birth. She's not "killing" anyone, simply terminating a pregnancy. Also we're Canadian, and a medical abortion (pill) is readily available in our province. submitted by /u/Mediocre_Mongoose502 to r/AITAH [link] [comments]
