歐元區8月通脹率升至3%創10年新高 遠超央行目標

歐元區8月通脹率升至3%,創10年新高,比7月顯著提高0.8個百分點,超出市場預期,並遠高於歐洲央行2%的目標。

歐盟統計局表示,通脹升溫主要受能源成本推動,加上食品價格急劇上升,工業產品價格亦異常大升。

撇除波動較大的食品及燃料價格,核心通脹率亦由7月的0.9%,加快至8月的1.6%。再撇除酒精及煙草後,通脹率亦由0.7%升至1.6%。

歐洲央行已多次上調今年通脹預測,但數據仍超出預期,分析估計,物價升勢可能到11月才會見頂。…

Review: Dance, box, and HIIT your way into shape with FitXR

31 8 月, 2021 Nicolette Roux 0

Sweat it out in VR.

FitXR is a fitness game designed for the Oculus Quest and Oculus Quest 2 that offers HIIT, boxing, and dance classes accompanied by upbeat music, motivational instructors, and workouts for all levels of athleticism. I initially reviewed FitXR at the beginning of 2021 when it was a single app purchase that hosted boxing and dance workouts, but a lot has changed since then.

FitXR has added a HIIT studio and a multiplayer option, as well as a bunch of new tunes to accompany workouts. It also switched from a single app purchase with DLC options to a monthly membership subscription. It’s a choice many FitXR app “owners” aren’t happy about, as they can’t access new features without subscribing.

All that being said, I find FitXR to be a fun, effective way to get into shape. If you’re a fan of VR and fitness — and own a Quest 2 — this is a game worthy of checking out. Get ready, because VR just got a whole lot sweatier.
