I have a C# program, and I am using Microsoft Visual Studio. I have been able to build and run the program without any issue for a long time. Now, unexpectedly I get this error:
The expression “freehold in the CBD” was thought to be an old-fashioned relic from the past but Newport Residences Singapore has brought it back to life. The building is situated on the old Fuji Xerox Towers site at 80 Anson Road, this 51-storey mixed-use tower is among the last chances of owning a part of the Tanjong Pagar Tower and being a part of the skyline for the rest of time. With just 246 units of residential space over retail and offices as well as serviced apartments, scarcity is present from the start. For investors who gauge wealth over decades not launch weekends the math here is brutally captivating.
Redeveloped as part of the CBD Incentive Scheme with a 25 percent gross floor area bonus This project will transform an abandoned plot in the 1980s into an vertical neighbourhood that feeds directly into the Greater Southern Waterfront vision. Prince Edward Road MRT opens in 2026 literally on the doorstep, and Tanjong Pagar MRT is already one stop away from Raffles Place. If you get to the point where the waterfront promenade links up and the old port land is transformed into playgrounds for lifestyle, the early buyers of Newport Residences will be sitting in one of the main rows in Singapore’s upcoming expansion phase.
Core Drivers That Move the Needle
Freehold Rarity in a Leasehold City
In the approximately 1,500 private residences that were launched every year in recent years, less than 50 are freehold throughout the Core Central Region. Newport Residences delivers 246 of them in a single move. The past is abysmal in this regard: freehold CCR condominiums have outperformed counterparts in 99 years with an average rate of 2.1 percent per year in any continuous 20-year period from 1995. The gap is a source of an investment that could change the course of your life.
Built-in Tenant Magnet
Senior executives and expatriates who have to stay within 5 minutes’ drive to Shenton Way will pay whatever it takes to get there. The initial yield projections are 4.2-5.1 percent gross after the office below is leased as well as those serviced apartments start operating. A 1,076 square foot two-bedder is expected to fetch $7,500-$9,500 per month starting in 2029, figures that are not found in the majority of suburban launches.
Waterfront Transformation Catalyst
The Greater Southern Waterfront masterplan is not a fad; it’s URA policy that has funding attached. If Keppel Club relocates and 1,000 acres of prime land opens to the public, Tanjong Pagar becomes the natural entry point. The past examples of precincts right in front of major revitalization waves (Marina Bay, 1998-2008; one-north from 2005 to 2015) yielded annualized 69% returns over the first 10 years. The Tanjong Pagar Tower is located in the centre for that wave to come.
Design and Positioning Edge
Mixed-Use Efficiency at Its Peak
The units for residential use start at level 23 in the Tanjong Pagar Tower, which gives every owner with panoramic views of the sea and city views that cannot be hindered. Retail, F&B, and Grade-A offices means that dry cleaning, grocery shopping and client lunches are available on the same lift. This convenience results in near-zero empty spaces, even during transitions of tenants.
Quantum Sweet Spot for Foreign Buyers
One-bedroom units starting from 557 sq ft and two-bedders of around 1,000 sq ft maintain their total quantum of between $1.9 millions to $3.8 million. Foreign buyers who are not allowed to purchase land-based properties and HDB flats can find this price range ideal for personal use and investing in pure investments without having to pay more ABSD for certain buildings.
Prestige That Appreciates Silently
An Tanjong Pagar freehold address carries significance in boardrooms throughout Asia. The owners here aren’t shouting about their purchases on social media. They are secluded in a postal address that will never go out of style, and watch the markets chase upwards every year.
How It Stacks Up Against Lentor Gardens Residences
The Place Newport Residences beside Lentor Gardens Residences and the two investment options barely share. Lentor Gardens Residences offers spacious suburban living as well as family-friendly greenery with a price that is half of the average which is ideal for owners who value proximity to schools and views of the reservoir. However, its 99-year lease and northern location limit the growth against CCR freehold. Rent returns for Lentor Gardens Residences hover in the high-end 3 percent range after stabilisation in the long run, but maintenance and the distance to the Financial District makes tenants’ pools smaller and more unstable. Both projects will make money, however one is designed to provide a lifestyle that has constant growth, while the other is designed for a fast growth of wealth within the city’s center.
Conclusion: The Last Pure CBD Freehold Play
Opportunities to purchase freehold residential properties right above MRT interchanges located in the CBD will not come back after they are gone. Newport Residences (within Tanjong Pagar Tower) represents the final significant release in the current CBD Incentive Scheme before rules become more stringent. Investors who know that the land within Tanjong Pagar never becomes cheaper and more scarce, are taking action. As it comes to the time that the waterfront promenade lights up and the old port vanishes for good, the cost for entry is compared against the price that buyers of the past have paid today. The difference will be weighed in terms of millions, not percentages. If you have a horizon measured in years this tower isn’t an initiation point. It’s the closing bell of an era.
Many (50% of Gen Z and 49% of millennials) say they’d even let AI handle all their gift-buying if it meant avoiding stress. Younger shoppers trust AI’s taste, with 51% of Gen Z and 55% of millennials relying on it to deliver unique and thoughtful recommendations (sometimes even more than they trust themselves). The most popular uses include getting personalized product recommendations, confirming the best deal before purchasing, and summarizing thousands of reviews instantly.
The bottom line: Shoppers are embracing AI as their new personal assistant — one that knows their budget, style, and patience level…
If the 2025 holiday shopper could be summed up in one word, it’s intentional. They’re planning earlier, spending wiser and using technology to make every dollar and every gift count.
The first figures are now in for the traditional “Black Friday” shopping day after Thanksgiving, and U.S. shoppers “spent a record $11.8 billion online,” reports Reuters, “up 9.1% from 2024 on the year’s biggest shopping day, according to Adobe Analytics, which tracks 1 trillion visits that shoppers make to online retail websites…”
And sure enough, this year shoppers were helped by AI:
AI-powered shopping tools helped drive a surge in U.S. online spending on Black Friday, as shoppers bypassed crowded stores and turned to chatbots to compare prices and secure discounts amid concerns about tariff-driven price hikes… The AI-driven traffic to U.S. retail sites soared 805% compared to last year, Adobe said, when artificial intelligence tools such as Walmart’s Sparky or Amazon’s Rufus had not yet been launched. “Consumers are using new tools to get to what they need faster,” said Suzy Davidkhanian, an analyst at eMarketer. “Gift giving can be stressful, and LLMs (large language models) make the discovery process feel quicker and more guided…” Globally, AI and agents influenced $14.2 billion in online sales on Black Friday, of which $3 billion came from the U.S. alone, according to software firm Salesforce. There’s another reason shoppers turned to AI. 2025’s Black Friday arrived “amid tighter budgets, unemployment nearing a four-year high, U.S. consumer confidence sagging to a seven-month low and price tags that have shoppers watching every dollar,” according to the article:
Discount rates also remained flat when compared to 2024, with AI helping shoppers discover the best deals, and an increase in the price tags made deeper discounts difficult for retailers… Order volumes fell 1% as average selling prices rose 7%. Consumers also purchased fewer items at checkout, with units per transaction falling 2% on a year-over-year basis, Salesforce said.
The spending surge sets the stage for an even bigger Cyber Monday, projected to drive $14.2 billion in sales, up 6.3% on a year-over-year basis and the largest online shopping day of the year, Adobe said. Electronics are expected to see the deepest discounts on Cyber Monday, reaching 30% off list prices, along with strong deals on apparel and computers, Adobe said.
Despair. Fear, Madness, once again. An original work based on “Alice in Wonderland” and “Through the Looking-Glass.” Dark Fairy Tale Fantasy x Psychological Horror RPG focusing on the themes of “Exploration of a Mad World” and “Life or Death Combat against Demonbeasts”. ※Includes content from all 3 DLCs. In this work, you’ll meet 45 Heroines. Almost all of them are the fun characters you may have met before in the famous tale “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland“. Though, now all of them are charming girls. (However, the most important for you is Alice, of course, isn’t that right?) All NPCs in this world can be killed. However, should you do so, your SEN would decrease. And as it gets too low: BGM will disappear. The Shimmering Horizon and Cursed Blacksmith
All the inhabitants will begin to talk in an incomprehensible language. Some things that should not be seen will become visible. What a frightening ailment it is! Black Souls II crafted a grimdark world in which I could easily lose hours and days into exploring and unraveling. Toro’s world building has been a joy to see evolve. After finishing Black Souls 1, I went back and played Red Hood’s Woods. A short 3 hour precursor to the Black Souls series and despite the spotty translation, had an interesting spin on the Red Riding Hood fairy tale but was lacking on the RPG side.
Features and System Requirements:
A vast, open world made of many different and charming maps.
Will you kill or will you be killed? Tactical and tense ATB combat.
Explore the Wonderland end to end, gathering souls and raising your level.
Death is not the end, merely a setback as you resume from the last bonfire.
Many different endings.

New York’s latest state budget includes new disclosure requirements for businesses that use personal data to set different prices for different shoppers — for example, charging you more if you have a history of splurging.
Businesses that use personalized pricing are now required to tell customers, “This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data,” according to The New York Times.
It’s not clear how widespread this practice actually is among online retailers. An Uber spokesperson told the NYT that the company is now showing this disclosure to New Yorkers, although they described the law as “poorly drafted and ambiguous” and insisted that Uber only uses geography and customer demand to calculate its dynamic pricing.
The National Retail Federation filed a lawsuit to stop the law, but a federal judge allowed it to move forward.
Lina Khan, former chair of the Federal Trade Commission and now co-chair of the mayoral transition team for Zohran Mamdani, told the NYT that the law will be an “absolutely vital” tool for the government, but she also suggested there’s a “ton more work to be done” to regulate the practice.
Don’t let Google know, but I’d be quite lost without YouTube. I use the video platform daily for background noise during the workday and for enjoying my favorite creators’ content in the evenings.
The platform doesn’t offer the best user experience, at least not one that prioritizes the content. Constant interruptions and visual clutter within the app have prompted me to seek alternative ways to watch YouTube. And you don’t need to put up with them, either.
There are various ways to use YouTube interruption-free. What follows are your options.
How do you watch YouTube interruption-free on Android?

Use a browser with dedicated video controls
Andy Walker / Android Authority
You don’t necessarily need to use an app to view YouTube content; Android browsers will serve just as well. Some browsers are more adept at displaying and controlling video than others, though, and while the likes of Google Chrome seem like an excellent fit for a fellow YouTube product, there are better options.
Personally, I’ve gravitated towards Banana Browser as my preferred video web browser. It packs a dedicated video player that supports numerous content sources, including YouTube and TikTok. It also includes ad-blocking smarts and SponsorBlock support — a tool that skips past sponsor slots and other interruptions — while background play and picture-in-picture modes are also available.
As far as user-friendliness is concerned, Brave is perhaps the best option on Android for casual users. It supports background playback for audio tracks, picture-in-picture mode, and dedicated settings to block recommended content, “distracting elements,” and YouTube Shorts.
Use one of the many Android YouTube apps available
Andy Walker / Android Authority
There are many apps that present YouTube content in a more user-friendly manner, free from annoying content. My current favorite example is Tubular, a fork of NewPipe. What makes Tubular better is its inclusion of SponsorBlock, which skips video sections based on crowdsourced info, and ReturnYouTubeDislike, which does exactly what it says on the tin. It’s also extremely easy to use, so even non-techies can easily adopt it.
Notably, NewPipe remains a pretty great alternative, especially if you’re running an older Android smartphone.
Tubular and NewPipe are excellent open source Android YouTube alternatives.
PipePipe is a hard fork of NewPipe, featuring a nifty keyword filter system and support for other platforms, including Bilibili.
For something more democratic, Grayjay is not simply a YouTube alternative. It’s effectively a content aggregator and supports a host of big-name platforms serving audio and video. It’s also built with privacy in mind, keeping subscription information locally.
Desktop user? FreeTube does the trick
You can use a web browser for your YouTube needs on Windows, but I’ve found a standalone app to be a far better solution. As Google doesn’t offer a dedicated Windows app, I have to look elsewhere. For the most part, FreeTube covers pretty much all of my bases.
FreeTube is a free and open source program that bills itself as a privacy-first client. It keeps all your subscription, playlist, and history data on your local machine, doesn’t display ads, and uses a UI consistent with YouTube itself. The most significant appeal is its support for macOS and Linux as well.
As an unofficial product, FreeTube occasionally breaks due to YouTube’s changes to its backend. But, thanks to the power of open source collaboration, these problems are usually remedied in a day or a few.
Use this popular Google TV app
Most of my YouTube viewing takes place on my TV via my Chromecast with Google TV. While I could use the official YouTube app for the platform, I find it somewhat lacking in customization, video controls, and quality adjustments. It’s why SmartTube is one of my essential Google TV apps.
SmartTube is a brilliant piece of free and open source software that’s updated regularly and supported by a thriving community. The app itself feels quicker, offers more UI options to enhance accessibility, and boasts numerous advanced features compared to YouTube’s official production. It just so happens to support SponsorBlock, ad suppression, and gives me complete control over the types of videos I want recommended to me. It’s a far more personal way to consume YouTube.
SmartTube offers more accessibility and video quality options than YouTube on Google TV.
Of course, being a third-party app that’s not directly available from the Play Store on Google TV, installation is a bit of a chore. It requires installing a prelude app before you can access SmartTube itself. Nevertheless, jumping through this hoop is well worth it.
Don’t want to miss the best from Android Authority?
Actually pay for YouTube Premium
Rita El Khoury / Android Authority
Look, as much as thrifty consumers hate to admit it, paying for YouTube Premium may actually be the best solution for watching YouTube without ads. While parting with cash monthly is a painful prospect, Premium is the only solution if you want to access YouTube unabated on every supported device.
Premium also offers a few valuable perks, including YouTube Music Premium access, offline viewing, additional playback options, and the super helpful skip-ahead smarts. And, of course, paying for Premium is one way to support the creators you watch every day.
Paying for YouTube is the only way you’ll get Premium features across all supported devices.
My primary concern with this approach is the YouTube experience itself. As I mentioned in the SmartTube section, YouTube is overly rigid in its UI and controls on its supported platforms. Although most consumers won’t need options to increase the scale of thumbnails on TV or hide Shorts from view, many power users do. Paying for YouTube won’t magically produce these features.
At $13.99 monthly, Premium isn’t what I’d call cheap. And, arguably, you could access the lion’s share of its features with one of the solutions outlined above. Nevertheless, I did want to mention purchasing YouTube as an option because it genuinely is.
