Google said at a healthcare artificial intelligence roundtable it hosted on Thursday that Agentspace is its fastest-growing artificial intelligence product. Launched earlier this year, the platform and its companion Vertex AI Model Garden allow enterprises to create agents that derive patient insights from multiple data sources. Girish Naganathan, chief technology officer and executive vice president at medical device developer Dexcom, said during the roundtable that the tools improve the personalization of the company's glucose monitoring devices and connect patient data to electronic health records, where primary care providers can access it. Ben Mabey, CTO of the biotech firm Recursion, added that organizations looking to use agentic AI developer tools could more quickly see a return on investment when their IT departments create agents to augment staff. "It's helping [IT] resolve tickets," he said. Microsoft added Grok 3 and Grok 3 mini to its Azure AI Foundry platform earlier this month. Many in the healthcare industry were skeptical of Grok AI when the start-up owner, Elon Musk, suggested the LLM would play a role in healthcare and asked users on his X social media platform to upload medical images for testing. At the time, Grok was only available through the platform by subscription. While Grok received mixed reviews on accuracy, Microsoft said in its announcement that the new Grok models have deep domain expertise in healthcare, science and other sectors.Corti, an AI infrastructure vendor, said it is joining the Coalition for Health AI, an industry-led coalition developing frameworks to further the safe adoption of health AI. The company said that through CHAI, it can help ensure safeguards that allow responsible innovation to scale across the healthcare system. "Too many applications today are adapted from general-purpose models built to serve all industries," Andreas Cleve, Corti's CEO and co-founder, said in a statement Thursday.Ambience Healthcare said its new Coding-Aware AI scribe, powered by OpenAI AI reinforcement fine-tuning technology, is now generating medical codes with 27% greater accuracy than board-certified physicians. The company said in a statement that lost diagnosis coding and documentation errors cost the industry $19 billion. While listening to conversations during patient appointments, the AI uses RFT to identify billing codes. For the study, Ambience said it benchmarked the model against 18 experienced, board-certified physicians on ICD-10 coding accuracy.Innovaccer announced that it is rolling out the general availability of its healthcare data interoperability platform, Gravity, to give healthcare organizations the power to unify data across clinical and operational systems with AI. Abhinav Shashank, the company's cofounder and CEO, explained in a Healthcare IT News Q&A on May 23 that the platform’s low-code/no-code developer studio and pretrained AI agents make it possible to launch the first use case in 90 days.NVIDIA and GE HealthCare announced a new collaboration to advance diagnostic imaging using Isaac, a medical device simulation platform, to develop autonomous X-ray and ultrasound applications. NVIDIA said Isaac's pretrained models and physics-based simulations will help GE train, test and validate autonomous imaging system capabilities in a virtual environment before deploying them in the physical world. The goal of the partnership, according to a statement from GE Healthcare's Roland Rott, president and CEO of imaging, is to enhance the speed of development workflows and create tools that address healthcare's growing workloads and staffing shortages.OpenAI launched a platform called HealthBench at the beginning of the month that evaluates the safety of health AI models. Trained by more than 5,000 conversations, HealthBench can simulate interactions between AI models and patients or clinicians. The company said in a statement that the product is designed to help healthcare organizations understand model behavior "in high-impact settings and help ensure progress is directed toward real-world benefit."Andrea Fox is senior editor of Healthcare IT News.Email: [email protected] IT News is a HIMSS Media publication.

Happy Friday! After a hectic couple of weeks, I'm looking forward to catching up and maybe even relaxing a bit. But first...👨💻 If you Build it, you are dumbtrain_wreck asks:Is Build dead? (More broadly, is there a future for big conferences, at MS and elsewhere?)Before Build, I had had conversations with two people who both expressed concerns for the future of the show, based on low ticket sales. Microsoft cut prices, and I later learned that the internal target was 3,000 paid attendees, a figure it ended up exceeding, but only because of the price cuts. So it's unlikely that it allows this condition to persist. Whether that means changes to the show--perhaps online only, as per Apple, perhaps as one or more targeted shows (like an AI Build or whatever), or something else is open to debate. I assume it's being debated right now internally.Related to this, .NET is on whatever schedule trajectory, and I've been wondering for a while now if the monolithic annual schedule with major and minor releases every other year is sustainable. Microsoft just changed the Windows App SDK, which isn't part of .NET, such that developers will be able to install individual components instead of the full package, and that will help with agility in the same way that the Windows team can and does deliver new features all the time and doesn't need to wait for feature updates (version upgrades). I wonder if .NET should do the same. Have the core platform on whatever schedule, and just ship language and framework updates separately. That could extend the lifecycle of each .NET release from a support standpoint, which I think developers would appreciate.I mention that because the current schedule, with an annual release in November, doesn't necessarily make any sense. If Build is going to keep happening, and in May, perhaps the .NET schedule, and the associated messaging, should shift to that schedule too. The .NET releases--and thus the virtual .NET Conf event that accompanies each--are always timed near Ignite, which is primarily an IT conference, and in some cases have actually overlapped, which is not ideal.But the broader question here is whether Build makes sense as a single big annual show, or whether it should evolve or change into something else. This is a tough call. After the pandemic, many were looking forward to doing in-person events again, and of the companies I follow that do this type of thing, Microsoft moved the most slowly. And it lost things because of that. It lost all the people, in-house and external, that it had contracted with for that type of work, and so it also lost that institutional knowledge and memory about how to best do these shows. It lost contracts with the convention centers that could host such an event, and those places are often booked out years in advance. And it lost a significant portion of those companies that had been willing to pay to send developers and other employees to these shows be...The post Ask Paul: May 30 (Premium) appeared first on Thurrott.com.

Since 2015, Daring Fireball's John Gruber has hosted a special live episode of his The Talk Show podcast from WWDC each year, with senior executives from Apple routinely participating as guests for the episodes. While the executives typically do not break major news during these appearances, the lively conversations have offered some interesting insights and perspectives on various topics surrounding Apple's WWDC announcements.In announcing ticket sales for this year's live episode going live today, Gruber has revealed that Apple declined his invitation for executives to appear on this year's episode, for the first time in the decade of this tradition.Gruber did not share a reason for Apple declining this year's invitation, and Apple likely did not provide one to him, but it's easy to surmise that it was probably due to Gruber's recent comments sharing his belief that "Something Is Rotten in the State of Cupertino" in the wake of Apple Intelligence Siri delays.In his March blog post, Gruber faulted himself for not seeing the "red flags" that were appearing as early as last year's WWDC, with Apple apparently showing off planned Apple Intelligence features that were not actually functional at the time and some of which may not even yet be functional.He faulted Apple for showing off what amounted to vaporware at last year's WWDC, a significant departure from Apple's history over the past several decades of almost always shipping features close to their suggested timelines even when they have been pre-announced before they are fully ready.Gruber's comments were notable given his status as one of the most well-known Apple pundits, not to mention the fact that Apple had chosen him to be the one to share the news days earlier that the Apple Intelligence-powered Siri revamp had been delayed.It's hard not to view Apple's move as a form of retribution for Gruber's criticism, and also potentially an acknowledgement that Gruber would be liable to ask Apple executives some difficult questions about what occurred to force the Siri delay and where things go from here.This article, "Apple Executives Won't Be Appearing at This Year's WWDC Episode of The Talk Show Live" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

1990년 1월 전문 컴퓨터 기업에서 첫 직장 생활을 시작한 이후, 국내 SI 선두기업, 벤처기업, 중견 IT회사를 거쳐 제철회사에서 CIO 역할로 15년을 보냈다. 그리고 경력의 황혼기에 새롭게 IT 회사를 창업하고 성장시킬 수 있는 기회에 참여하게 되어 지금에 이르기까지 36년의 기간이 어찌 감회가 없을 수 있겠는가?이 긴 여정을 돌이켜 보면, IT 업계야 말로 변화의 속도가 빠른 분야 중 하나라는 것을 새삼 실감하게 된다. 변화 속도가 빠른 IT 분야에 몸담게 된 것이 매우 만족스럽던 신입사원 시절을 시작으로, 클라이언트-서버 등장 후 SI 프로젝트의 폭발적 성장기, 웹 브라우저의 탄생, 인터넷 시대의 개막, 닷컴 부흥기와 버블 붕괴, 모바일 세상의 등장과 클라우드의 탄생 그리고 인공지능의 본격적인 확산까지, 주요 IT 분야 변화의 바람과 수많은 벤처기업(지금은 스타트업이라는 용어가 더 익숙하지만)의 등장과 성장 및 쇠락을 실시간으로 목격하고 일부 관여하기도 했다.지금도 IT업계는 빠른 변화의 상징이다. 한 달이 멀다고 새롭게 등장하는 인공지능 모델의 발전과 이를 기반으로 한 놀라운 응용 영역의 확장은 물론이고, 양자 컴퓨터 기술, GPU 기반의 컴퓨팅 인프라 발전 및 이와 관련하여 세계 각국의 사활을 건 경쟁이 뜨겁다. 챗GPT의 등장 이후 생성형 AI의 발전 속도는 가히 혁명적이라 할 수 있으며, 메타버스, 블록체인, 웹 3.0 등 새로운 패러다임들이 연이어 등장하며 업계 전체를 들썩이게 하고 있다.이런 상황에서 IT 분야에 있는 엔지니어들은 항상 변화에 대한 불안감과 위기의식을 느끼게 된다. “내가 지금 하고 있는 일이 몇 년 후에도 유효할까?”, “새로운 기술을 배우지 않으면 도태되는 것은 아닌가?”, “지금 당장 트렌드에 맞춰 커리어를 바꿔야 하는 것은 아닌가?” 하는 고민들이 끊임없이 머릿속을 맴돈다.특히 젊은 개발자들의 경우 이런 불안감이 더욱 심각하다. 개발자 커뮤니티나 SNS에서는 매일같이 새로운 프레임워크, 새로운 언어, 새로운 개발 방법론에 대한 이야기들이 쏟아진다. FOMO(Fear of Missing Out) 현상이 IT 업계에서 특히 두드러지게 나타나는 이유도 여기에 있다. 하지만 과연 모든 변화에 즉각적으로 반응하는 것이 현명한 선택일까?이러한 소위 변화의 바람에 어떻게 대응하는 것이 좋을까? 크게 2가지 극단적인 접근법을 볼 수 있다.첫 번째는 ‘얼리 어답터’ 접근법이다. 변화의 바람을 적극적으로 받아들이고 자신의 기술 영역을 계속 바꿔 나가는 방식이다. 새로운 기술이 나오면 즉시 학습하고, 프로젝트에 적용해 보고, 관련 커뮤니티에 적극적으로 참여한다. 이런 접근법의 장점은 새로운 기회를 빨리 포착할 수 있고, 혁신적인 프로젝트에 참여할 가능성이 높다는 것이다.두 번째는 ‘전문가 고수’ 접근법이다. 이러한 바람과 무관하게 현재 자신의 업무 영역에 대해 꾸준하고 지속적으로 심화시키는 방식이다. 한 분야에서 깊이 있는 전문성을 쌓아 해당 분야의 최고 전문가가 되는 것을 목표로 한다. 이런 접근법의 장점은 안정적인 커리어 경로를 가질 수 있고, 특정 분야에서 대체 불가능한 전문가가 될 수 있다는 것이다.하지만 두 접근법 모두 극단적일 때는 문제가 생긴다. 첫 번째 접근법의 경우, 끊임없이 새로운 것을 쫓다 보면 어떤 분야에서도 깊이 있는 전문성을 갖지 못할 위험이 있다. 마치 우물을 여러 개 파다가 어느 것도 물이 나올 만큼 깊게 파지 못하는 상황과 같다. 두 번째 접근법의 경우, 너무 한 분야에만 매몰되다 보면 시장의 변화를 놓치고 결국 도태될 위험이 있다.개인적인 경험을 바탕으로 필자가 바라보는 변화에 대한 이상적인 대응은 ‘자신의 강점을 가진 영역을 기반으로 특화하고 이를 바탕으로 새로운 기술의 적용을 시도해 보는 것’이다. 변화의 바람을 거부하는 것은 바람직하지 않지만 휩쓸리는 것은 더욱 좋지 않기 때문이다.이 접근법의 핵심은 ‘기반’과 ‘확장’의 균형이다. 먼저 자신이 이미 잘하고 있는 분야, 또는 자신에게 적성에 맞는 분야에서 탄탄한 기반을 구축한다. 그리고 이 기반 위에서 새로운 기술들을 접목해보고, 응용해 보는 것이다.예를 들어, 데이터베이스 전문가라면 전통적인 관계형 데이터베이스에 대한 깊이 있는 지식을 먼저 쌓은 후, NoSQL, 빅데이터, 실시간 데이터 처리 등의 새로운 기술들을 자신의 기존 지식과 연결시켜 학습하는 것이다. 웹 개발자라면 기본적인 웹 개발 원리와 프로그래밍 언어에 대한 탄탄한 기초를 갖춘 후, 새로운 프레임워크나 개발 방법론을 적용해보는 것이다.이런 접근법의 장점은 여러 가지다. 첫째, 안정적인 커리어 기반을 유지하면서도 새로운 기회를 놓치지 않을 수 있다. 둘째, 기존 지식과 새로운 기술을 연결함으로써 더 깊이 있는 통찰을 얻을 수 있다. 셋째, 새로운 기술을 학습할 때도 기존의 지식 기반이 있어 더 빠르고 효율적으로 학습할 수 있다.새로운 IT 기술이 등장하고 각광을 받게 되어도 이런 기술은 반드시 캐즘(chasm)의 시기를 거치게 되고, 이후 점차 실질적인 기술로 자리 잡게 되며 이후 기존의 기술들과 융합되는 형태로 발전하게 된다. 이는 제프리 무어가 제시한 기술 수용 생명주기 이론으로 잘 설명될 수 있다.모든 신기술은 혁신가와 얼리 어답터들이 먼저 받아들이고, 이후 얼리 매저리티, 레이트 매저리티를 거쳐 라가드에 이르기까지 단계적으로 확산된다. 문제는 얼리 어답터와 얼리 매저리티 사이에 존재하는 ‘캐즘’이다. 많은 기술들이 이 캐즘을 넘지 못하고 사라져 버린다.과거를 돌이켜 보면 이런 사례들을 무수히 많이 볼 수 있다. 1990년대 말의 닷컴 버블 시기에 등장했던 수많은 기술들과 비즈니스 모델들 중 상당수가 캐즘을 넘지 못하고 사라졌다. 최근에도 블록체인, 메타버스 등의 기술들이 초기의 과도한 기대 이후 캐즘의 시기를 겪고 있는 것을 볼 수 있다.따라서 새로운 기술이 등장해도 향후 어떻게 현실에서 적용될지 충분한 시간을 통해 지켜볼 필요가 있다. 너무 성급히 최신 기술만 쫓게 되면 들인 노력에 비해 만족스러운 결과를 얻지 못할 가능성이 크다. 물론 이것이 새로운 기술을 아예 무시하라는 뜻은 아니다. 관심을 갖고 지켜보되, 성급한 판단은 피하라는 의미이다.그리고 소위 ‘일만 시간의 법칙’과 같이 어떤 분야에서 전문성을 가지려면 충분한 시간을 해당 분야에서 노력하는 것이 필요하다. 말콤 글래드웰이 제시한 이 개념은 어떤 분야에서든 전문가 수준에 도달하려면 최소 10,000시간의 의도적 연습이 필요하다는 것이다.IT 분야도 예외가 아니다. 프로그래밍 언어 하나를 제대로 마스터하려면, 데이터베이스 설계와 최적화를 능숙하게 하려면, 시스템 아키텍처를 설계할 수 있으려면 상당한 시간과 노력이 필요하다. 하루아침에 전문가가 될 수는 없는 것이다.따라서 IT 분야에서 자신이 몸담고 있는 영역에서 충분한 수준의 경험과 능력을 확보할 때까지 변화에 휩쓸리지 않는 것이 바람직하다. 물론 여기서 ‘충분한 수준’이라는 것은 상대적인 개념이다. 하지만 최소한 해당 분야에서 기본적인 문제들을 독립적으로 해결할 수 있고, 다른 사람들에게 조언을 줄 수 있을 정도의 수준은 되어야 한다고 생각한다.그렇다면 실제로 어떻게 이런 접근법을 적용할 수 있을까? 몇 가지 구체적인 전략을 제시해보고자 한다.첫째, 핵심 역량 파악과 강화이다. 자신이 현재 가장 잘하는 것, 그리고 가장 흥미를 느끼는 분야를 명확히 파악하고 이를 지속적으로 강화해야 한다. 이는 단순히 기술적 스킬뿐만 아니라 문제 해결 능력, 커뮤니케이션 능력, 프로젝트 관리 능력 등도 포함한다.둘째, 인접 기술 영역으로의 점진적 확장이다. 자신의 핵심 역량과 관련된 주변 기술들을 하나씩 학습해 나가는 것이다. 예를 들어, 백엔드 개발자라면 프론트엔드, 데브옵스, 클라우드 등으로 점진적으로 확장해 나가는 것이다.셋째, 지속적인 학습 시스템 구축이다. 새로운 기술 트렌드를 정기적으로 파악하고, 그 중에서 자신의 핵심 역량과 관련된 것들을 선별하여 학습하는 시스템을 구축해야 한다. 이는 정기적인 기술 블로그 구독, 컨퍼런스 참여, 온라인 강의 수강 등의 형태가 될 수 있다.넷째, 실무 적용을 통한 검증이다. 새로 학습한 기술은 반드시 실제 프로젝트에 적용해 보고 그 효과를 검증해야 한다. 이 과정에서 해당 기술의 실용성과 자신에게의 적합성을 판단할 수 있다.36년간의 IT 업계 경험을 통해 얻은 가장 중요한 깨달음은 ‘변화와 안정의 조화’의 중요성이다. 변화를 두려워해서도 안 되고, 변화에 맹목적으로 휩쓸려서도 안 된다. 자신만의 견고한 기반을 구축하면서도 열린 마음으로 새로운 가능성을 탐색하는 것, 이것이 진정한 전문가로 성장하는 길이라고 생각한다.뻔히 ‘꼰대’ 소리를 듣게 되겠지만 술자리에서 ‘나 때는 말이야~’라는 이야기를 수도 없이 했던 것처럼, 경험이 주는 통찰은 분명히 가치가 있다. 하지만 그 경험을 고집으로 굳히지 않고, 새로운 세대와 새로운 기술에 열린 마음을 유지하는 것 또한 중요하다.IT 업계의 후배들에게 전하고 싶은 메시지는 이것이다. 조급해하지 말고, 자신만의 속도로 성장하라. 남들이 하는 것을 무조건 따라 하려 하지 말고, 자신에게 맞는 길을 찾아라. 그리고 그 길에서 꾸준히 전진하되, 주변의 변화에도 관심을 기울여라. 그것이 진정으로 지속가능한 IT 전문가로 성장하는 길이다.변화의 시대에 살고 있는 우리 모두에게 필요한 것은 결국 ‘지혜’다. 언제 변화를 받아들이고, 언제 현재에 집중할지를 판단하는 지혜. 그리고 그 판단에 따라 일관되게 행동할 수 있는 용기. 이것이 바로 변화의 시대를 살아가는 IT 전문가에게 가장 필요한 덕목이 아닐까 생각한다[email protected]

Nintendo is gearing up for the launch of the Switch 2 on June 5, and to ensure you’re ready to go when the console arrives at your door, you’ll need to download the latest update for the newly renamed Nintendo Switch App. The app, which was previously called the Nintendo Switch Online app, had added a number of new features, including a more seamless screenshot interface, GameChat functionality and placeholder icons for game-specific services like Zelda Notes. The latter will become usable on launch day.Arguably the most useful addition is the revamped screenshots and video upload feature, which allows you to link your phone to your Switch 2 and wirelessly upload in-game media to the app, either manually or automatically. This was already possible on the original Switch (and is hardly a revolutionary feature), but doing so involved some needlessly clunky QR code scanning that didn’t always work. Now, screenshots and gameplay clips should just appear in the app, where you can save them locally. Up to 100 files can be stored in the app for 30 days from the point of upload, and once you hit the limit the oldest files will disappear if not saved.Another big Switch 2 feature is GameChat, Nintendo’s new multiplayer voice chat functionality. Via the Nintendo Switch App you’ll be able to receive notifications for GameChat invites, friends coming online and friend requests. Your added friends will be displayed on the home screen of the app. Again, no one who’s been playing games on a modern PlayStation or Xbox console for the last decade is going to be blown away by any of this stuff, but it looks like playing online with friends on Switch 2 is going to be mercifully less fiddly than on its predecessor.The Zelda Notes icon now appears when you open the Nintendo Switch App, but it won’t be functional until June 5. The app, which is only compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2 Editions of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, effectively functions like a sat nav for tracking down missing Koroks and shrines on your save file. You can also share your Autobuild creations in TotK with friends, edit in-game photos and check play records such as the number of enemies defeated and total game overs.Nintendo is making small tweaks to some of its other services ahead of the Switch 2’s arrival. Over on Nintendo Switch Online (not to be confused with the mobile app), where you can play a selection of emulated classics from Nintendo’s back catalogue, a new Switch 2-exclusive rewind feature will be added to the N64 library, as well as a new CRT filter option. These features were already available for NES and SNES games on the service, and it’s not entirely clear why original Switch owners won’t benefit from the additional N64 options as well.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/nintendo/nintendos-updated-mobile-app-will-make-sharing-switch-2-screenshots-a-lot-easier-143842317.html?src=rss

MacworldMany people think Macs don’t need antivirus, but they are not immune from viruses and malware – don’t wait until it’s too late to protect your Apple computer from threats. Our experts have tested multiple security suites, and in this article outline only the best Mac antivirus programs. These are the security apps they would install on their own Mac or MacBook.Not everyone knows how to check their Mac for viruses, but you don’t need to be a security expert to keep your Mac safe. Apple includes basic built-in antivirus protection in macOS, but a good Mac antivirus product adds an extra layer of protection, keeping your Mac safe from new and known malware, blocking ransomware, and protecting older systems from security vulnerabilities caused by outdated software.Check out our winner, the Best Mac Antivirus: Intego Mac Internet SecurityThe most difficult decision for you is deciding which of the many Mac antivirus programs is going to do the best job of keeping you and your data safe, and which ultimately offers the best value.

We thoroughly test all Mac antivirus products from a usability and functionality perspective and use a combination of our own testing data and AV Comparatives/AV-Test lab data to ascertain which is the most reliable and trustworthy security product for your Mac.Best Mac Antivirus 2025: Reviewed and RankedOur top pick right now is Intego Mac Internet Security. But depending on the type and number of devices you want to protect, and your budget, you may prefer one of the other Mac antivirus programs in our list below. Some cover more than Macs, so you can also use them to protect your iPhone, iPad and other devices. You won’t find every Mac antivirus product we’ve tested here, just those who make the grade. 1.

There’s also an Intego Premium Bundle X9 that includes five apps: VirusBarrier and NetBarrier as well as Mac Washing Machine (a Mac cleaner), ContentBarrier (Parental controls) and Personal Backup (a bootable backup).The Mac Internet Security X9 is easy to download, install, and configure. It checks for the latest viral definitions and sets up real-time scanning features and intuitive network monitoring, allowing users to see and work with both incoming and outgoing Internet connections on their Mac.Mac Security X9 offers impressive configuration and customization for the VirusBarrier and NetBarrier tools. VirusBarrier performs well in protecting users from viruses, while NetBarrier acts as a firewall that protects connections. The application allows users to create settings for home, work, or public connections, and allows or deny connections as needed.There are some issues to address, we’d like to see a running counter tracking the number of files processed in a VirusBarrier scan and we were disappointed that it allowed traffic to questionable websites linked to spam messages. Mac Internet Security X9 doesn’t try to upsell users to Intego’s other suites and services. The tools in place are effective, work well, and make this utility worth considering. Best of all, Intego Mac Internet Security is built for Mac and is easy to set up and easy to use.

The VPN module (reviewed here: Surfshark VPN review) includes the usual tools such as geolocation and IP address hiding with more complicated tools such as IP configuration, an Internet kill switch, rotating IP addresses, and Invisible on LAN features. Surfshark One’s real-time protection tool was able to catch dozens of malware installers. Efforts to install malware were stopped with the application quickly quarantining them. While I was able to get a false Adobe Flash Player installation through, Surfshark One was able to isolate the vast majority of everything that was thrown at it.Surfshark Privacy tools include a Search feature that hooks into a private server so that your search history can’t be tracked, and the company offers an Alternative ID tool so you can create a private identity. A beta identity protection feature can also be used, which can generate a virtual phone number. There’s also email monitoring, credit card monitoring, and ID monitoring with customizable settings to control the frequency at which you receive email updates.Perhaps the biggest hurdle is the VPN style monthly pricing structure which can tie you in for a couple of years.

It complements macOS’s GateKeeper feature by alerting users to suspicious software.The Custom Scan feature allows for targeted scanning of specific folders and local volumes, while the customization options enable the standard behaviour of suspect files, such as quarantine and deletion.The Secure VPN client is a basic VPN that lets you choose a location, activate it, and enable or disable the VPN feature based on your network.

The most concerning bug is that installing McAfee Total Protection 2025 caused our MacBook Pro’s performance to lag and eventually crash, which required a reboot.Antivirus scans may remove suspect files, but they don’t provide file names or locations. Instead, users must return to the home screen and pull up the History window, adding extra steps.McAfee occasionally sends emails informing users of potential data breaches, but these emails lack specific details.

The quick access to the logs, which cover scan results, unsafe websites found, filtered websites, updates received, folder shield, and dangerous notifications, impressed me. While this version of Trend Micro Antivirus isn’t designed for sysadmins, system logs are useful for monitoring system activity, and the pre-sorted logs are helpful.Unfortunately there are a few issues. The installation was trickier than expected, requiring manual configuration of extensions. The Web Protection feature doesn’t effectively warn or protect against websites associated with spam folders, allowing users to access sites offering free prepaid Visa cards, Bitcoin payouts, and online casino gambling.In use, Trend Micro Antivirus stated twice that full disk access wasn’t granted during testing despite correct settings, requiring uninstallation and reinstall twice. This may be a bug between Trend Micro Antivirus and macOS Sequoia 15.5. Apple and Trend Micro should collaborate to identify the issue.When working correctly, the application is impressive. It effectively blocked most malware, offered high customization options, and provided ready access to help and feedback boards. While the Web Protection feature could benefit from clearer warnings for scams and phishing attempts, it meets the needs of its target market.AV Test, March 2025: 100%Read our full Trend Micro Antivirus for Mac review 7.

With antiviral monitoring and scanning it’s easy to create white lists and exceptions as well as schedule scans, including of external volumes like USB thumb drives. However, the application still can’t perform scans on .zip files, I had to decompress the text drive of sample infections before it could see them. The VPN is basic but easy to configure your preferred country of origin and initiate a connection. The password manager is reliable and includes a downloadable recovery key. There is an admirable level of possible customization on the firewall, although technical knowledge is needed.In our tests, the software was successful in catching a good amount of viral activity, with 25 individual infections detected on a test drive after scanning it. However, Norton 360 for Mac missed the OSX.Proton malware.Extensions for web browsers and Norton Private Browser are included.

Avira Prime is designed around several modules (Virus Scans, Protection Options, Quarantine, VPN, Passwords, Cookie Cleaner, Identity Assistant, Junk Cleaner, Uninstaller, and Startup Apps). Each module can be customized and configured as needed. The software installs cleanly and requests permission to fully access the hard drive. The Quick Scan can take less than 10 seconds, while a Full Scan took over six hours to look over 800+ gigabytes of files on a one terabyte SSD. The Custom Scan feature allows files and folders to be dropped in for quick scanning as well as external volumes to be scanned through as needed. There is a scheduler so you can program scans in advance.You can minimize Avira Prime and work with other applications as the scan continues which is lucky because the Full Scan took over six hours to complete. Avira Prime located and quarantined several minor worm files, but missed suspect files such as the Wave web browser, which has been implicated in assorted phishing scams.Cookie Cleaner module allows you to view and clean up cookie data, helpfully grouping cookies into different categories to make it easy to remove tracking and ads-based items in different browsers. Junk Cleaner reclaimed a decent 55GB of space when we tried it. There’s also an uninstaller manager for cleaning up deleted apps and managing those that start automatically. Identity Assistant can track your email addresses, phone numbers, credit cards, bank accounts, physical addresses, driver’s license, and so on, to check for any illicit activity. The included Password Manager is a combination of local system and browser extensions plus a web-based management console with its own master password.The password manager and junk files cleaner are included in both free and paid-for versions of Avira. Where Prime differs from the Free Security version is that you get full, use of the VPN service instead of a 500MB per month limit.

The question is whether if you use CleanMyMac for it’s primary purpose, will it also protect you from malware?Looking at CleanMyMac as an antivirus tool, we found that the software offers a good level of customization, and it’s easy to choose between the three scan modes (Quick Scan, Balanced Scan, and Deep Scan), each of them offering quick performance as CleanMyMac scans your hard drive and external drives. It’s also easy to configure scan behaviors, such as whether or not to include external drives in your scans or target .DMG files, and whitelists can also be created to exclude specific volumes and folders from the scans.In our tests results were mixed though. The software teamed up well with macOS’ GateKeeper feature, stopping questionable software that hasn’t been signed as safe by Apple from being installed, but it was still possible to get a fair amount of malware past these systems and on to our Mac.The Quick Scan feature caught two elements from CrossRat and a threat in the form of the infamous AdWind malware. The Balanced Scan function was able to root out most of the Elite Keylogger malware. The Deep Scan feature found the remnants of the AdWind malware, but we had to dig that out with a third-party utility.CleanMyMac was able to catch some elements of malware as they were being opened for the first time, but there were questionable chunks of software that remained even after they’d purportedly been removed and the Mac had been rebooted.CleanMyMac also offered no tangible warning against visiting questionable websites and allowed us to click on every questionable link to be found in Gmail’s Spam folder without warning.The interface is excellent, and MacPaw makes good use of its potentially great MoonLock antiviral engine to catch a fair amount of viral activity, but it still left adware and malware behind.Read our full CleanMyMac review 11.

The application crashed twice during testing though.

And while you will find some free options below, if value for money is your most important criteria you should also check out our best Mac antivirus deals. (For PCs, see our sister site PCWorld’s guide to the best Windows antivirus.)How we test Mac AntivirusWe thoroughly test all Mac antivirus products from a usability and functionality perspective and use a combination of our own testing data and AV Comparatives/AV-Test lab data to ascertain which is the most reliable and trustworthy security product for your Mac.We consider the strength of protection against threats (online and offline), and how well it addresses the ever-expanding types of attacks. We spend time using the software. Ease of use and user interface is important because if the software is too complicated people will not use it, it should be easy to find the tools users need, and alerts should make sense and be relevant. Equally performance really matters because if an app slows down your Mac you are likely to turn that app off. We also look at the features on offer. The best antivirus suites go beyond the basics of real-time protection and deeper scans, adding features like password managers and firewalls, some incorporate a VPN. However, we do assess whether these extras are helpful, or just unnecessary additions.We also evaluate pricing, which more often than not comes in the form of an annual subscription with different tiers of features. We advice on the best options based on value for money. We also track the best Antivirus for Mac deals. Why you can trust Macworld’s antivirus experts Macworld has been here testing Mac software since our conception alongside the launch of the Mac in 1984, so we know Macs better than anyone. When it comes to antivirus apps we recognise that despite Apple’s built-in systems to combat the threat of malware, in the current climate there is value in adding an extra layer of protection, to that end we continually evaluate the best Mac antivirus software. Our Mac antivirus software reviewers have worked in the industry for decades and have experience working with clients and fixing their problems. How to choose the best Antivirus for Mac There are a lot of Mac antivirus programs to choose from. What you want is one that offers a familiar and easy to use interface that works well on a Mac – which is one reason why we recommend Intego’s antivirus. You should also look for antivirus with a good detection rate – not just for Mac viruses, but crucially for PC viruses, unless you want to be passing viruses onto Windows using friends and clients. Other things that make one antivirus better than another is the low use of systen resorces – especially if your Mac isn’t the most powerful model out there. Another factor is the type and number of devices you want to protect – are you looking for an app to cover one Mac, or Mac, iPhone, iPad and even a PC? Your budget will also be a factor. Do you want to tie into a subscription model or would you prefer a one-time payment? Some antivirus apps do still offer this.

We’d argue that they are wrong, or at very least overconfident.Macs are generally more secure than their Windows brethren because macOS is a Unix-based operating system, which means it is sandboxed. This is like having a series of fire doors: even if malware gains access to your Mac, it is unable to spread to other areas of the machine. But while they are more difficult to exploit than Windows PCs, it is not impossible.The Silver Sparrow malware was detected on Macs powered by the M1 processor and infected hundreds of thousands of Macs. And it’s just one example – there have been many more since.You can read more about this topic in our article do Macs need antivirus? More general advice can be found in our Mac security tips; and those who have been hit by a malware attack should see how to remove a virus from a Mac.2.What features should I look for in Mac antivirus?All Mac antivirus software packages find viruses using both on-demand- and always-on protection. The former examines individual files either during scheduled scans or when you decide to run one. This can take a long time, especially if you have a lot of files, and some antivirus products will hog your Mac’s processor power to prioritize the scan, so it’s worth selecting a convenient time.Always-on malware protection protects you when a scan is not currently active. If malware arrives – perhaps via an email or a downloaded file – your antivirus software should detect and quarantine it. Quarantining a file involves moving it to a safe folder, allowing you to decide what to do with it. You’ll typically receive a notification of the discovered malware, but some Mac antivirus products can be more informative than others in these notifications (something we keep in mind in our testing).The effectiveness of this on-demand and always-on virus protection is absolutely the most important thing when it comes to choosing Mac antivirus, but additional features may also affect your choice.Many Mac security suites now include ransomware protection. Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts your files and demands a fee to decrypt them. An anti-ransomware feature will typically block any app from writing to a user’s home folders, such as Documents or Photos, unless that app has been whitelisted. Some apps, such as Microsoft Word, are pre-approved, and you can whitelist any that you trust.Web protection via browser plugins or extensions is also a common component and aims to stop you (or your children) from visiting infected websites or handing over personal information when you shouldn’t.Different vendors offer different add-ons, and it is certainly a case of you get what you pay for: free products will have fewer bells and whistles, but the most comprehensive Mac security suites will include password managers, parental controls, cloud storage and more. The underlying antimalware engine will usually be the same for all security products from a particular company, so you can save money if you don’t need all those extra features.3.Should my Mac antivirus include a VPN?One of the add-ons you might find with Mac security products, although also commonly sold separately, is Mac VPN (virtual private network). For many users, these are of interest because they can mask your location and allow you to view things (like streaming series) that are otherwise off-limits in your location. But they also have a very real benefit for security, protecting your internet connection by encrypting it, which is especially useful when using public Wi-Fi networks. In this day and age we should all be using VPNs and, while we’d recommend buying a dedicated Mac VPN product, one built into your antivirus software is better than nothing – just be prepared to be nagged to upgrade to the full product.4.What is the best value Mac antivirus?Value is perceived differently by all users: for some the best value Mac antivirus is the free one, and for others, it is the one that is affordable but includes the most useful add-ons. We prefer to consider value in terms of which is the best all-round offering, rather than the budget deal.That said, there are ways you can save money even on the more expensive products. Bear in mind that all antivirus for Mac apps are sold as yearly subscriptions, and often the first year has a hefty discount. When that first year is up, there’s nothing stopping you switching to another product and benefiting from that discount again. Alternatively, opt for a three- or even five-year subscription to save even more money – and why not: it’s not like viruses are going to disappear in the meantime and you won’t need it.Some of the best Mac antivirus products can also cater to your other devices – and not just iPads and iPhones, but also Windows and Android devices. If you have multiple devices in your household, this can present a huge saving.Take a look at our recommendations of the Best Mac Antivirus deals, which includes the cheapest options.5.How to spot fake Mac antivirus software?Because many of us are waking up to the idea that malware is a threat to the Mac, malware writers have made it their business to play on that fear. There have been cases of malware writers disguising their viruses as antivirus apps – two notable examples are Mac Auto Fixer and MacDefender. It’s important to always read reviews on reputable sites such as Macworld before installing any software on your Mac or MacBook.At the same time, don’t believe everything you read. MacKeeper is a great example of an antivirus program that has got a bad rap, but it’s worked hard to repair its reputation. It has gained Apple Notarization, which means the software has been checked by Apple for malicious components, and the company has garnering certification from various bodies to prove it isn’t a PUP (potentially unwanted program), including an AV-Test certificate. That said, we haven’t recommended it here, and that’s simply because we feel that there are better options available. If you have already installed MacKeeper and wish to try one of our alternative recommendations, we explain How to uninstall MacKeeper.6.What can’t Mac antivirus protect from?Using a Mac antivirus product, especially one that includes tools to improve your online privacy, may lull you into believing you’re completely safe from personal and private information leaking out and that you no longer need to keep your wits about you. That’s not quite the case. While there’s no reason to panic, you should still practice caution – and there are a few more issues you should consider when using Mac antivirus, too.First, an antivirus for Mac product may upload the complete text of files flagged to the cloud, where it can be analyzed by separate tools hosted there. This practice is normal and sensible: some malware can detect when a running process may examine it, and will then engage in subterfuge. Antivirus software makers also can access their massive databases to examine files with characteristics that trigger their algorithms – certain elements that match known malware. As a result, security researchers discover new viruses, worms, Trojans horses, and the like. However, helping the greater good means you’ll have to be comfortable with trusting a third-party with your file contents. Where appropriate, we noted privacy policy issues in individual reviews.Second, this software may also rely partly or entirely on cloud-based checks of URLs, malware, and the like. Accordingly, an antivirus package might upload every URL you visit, metadata about files, signatures of files, information about your computer’s hardware, a list of running or installed applications, and more. Companies vary on their disclosure of such policies, and may not let you opt out of this kind of sharing. We note issues in each review as appropriate.Third, antivirus software makers also get a sense of what behavior is happening on your computer that’s being monitored or blocked, and may use that information for their own purposes. In some cases, you can opt out of this information gathering.7.How we test Mac antivirus software Each software package is evaluated by creating a clean installation of macOS, cloning it for each antivirus product, and then booting separately into each one to install a different package. This is to ensure that previous app installations don’t interfere with new ones – sometimes antivirus software treats other antivirus software as an infection.In addition to visiting malicious websites, downloading known malicious software, and even running said malware on our Mac, we also reference the most recent reports from two labs that regularly cover macOS malware: AV Comparatives and AV-TEST. These laboratories test antivirus software against sets of known malware as well as products that are grouped as potentially unwanted applications (like adware).The latter doesn’t damage or expose your computer or its files but may consume power and CPU cycles. Because the testing effectively looks at a combination of virus databases and behavior, they remain good gauges even after many months. When an antivirus for Mac software package lacks a rating from a known security research lab, we do more extensive testing with real malware.Finally, while we gave props for a lot of different features and behaviors, we mark down products if they lack any or all of the following:A nearly perfect score on macOS malware detectionRansomware monitoringNative browser plug-in or system-level Web proxyA high score on Windows malware detection
While we're still waiting for a true electric minivan to hit the US, VW's ID.Buzz microbus is close. It's a unique family hauler that'll definitely get your neighbors buzzing. No, seriously, during my week of testing I had over a dozen conversations with strangers who were fascinated by the ID.Buzz. One of my neighbors stopped their car dramatically when they saw it, backed up, and just had to give me a thumbs up and praise it as "cool as hell." My kids were similarly enamored, they loved its cute design and enormous interior space. In many ways, it's the family EV I've been dreaming of — something that could comfortably seat seven people and carry tons of cargo for road trips. Unfortunately, its high $60,000 starting price and relatively lackluster 234 mile range hold it back from true greatness. Really, though, those issues were obvious when VW announced its US launch details for the ID.Buzz last year. I was more intrigued to see if it was a complete flop for VW, or if there was something compelling about it despite those flaws. After testing the ID.Buzz for a week, I've noticed one surprising thing: It makes everyone smile. It may not look exactly like VW's classic '60s microbus, but it elicits a similar amount of joy. And that's refreshing compared to the response I've seen to other large EVs like the Cybertruck (my son calls it the "ugly truck") and the ridiculous Hummer EV. Sure, it's sort of coasting on vibes, but the VW ID.Buzz still has plenty of practical benefits if you don't mind the high price and charging a bit more often during road trips. And as I'll explain below, it'll likely be an enticing option once it hits the used market in a few years. What is the VW ID.Buzz? Most cynically, the ID.Buzz is an attempt to milk the brand nostalgia for VW's hippy-era Type 2 microbus. VW never quite gave up on those vehicles, but its later models dropped the cute rounded aesthetic and looked more like commercial vans. What makes the ID.Buzz truly interesting is that it transforms a beloved classic into a cutting-edge EV, with an enormous infotainment screen and modern features like adaptive cruise control. It also makes a great first impression, since it doesn’t look like anything else on the road. There's a rounded front end that evokes the playfulness of the original model, and its two-tone color design (on some trims) simply pops among a sea of boring (and often white) cars in traffic. Sure, VW has done this before, but the Buzz is still a great reminder that EVs don't have to look like traditional vehicles. There's no front engine to worry about, just a big battery and electric motors. In the Buzz's case, you can choose from rear-wheel drive and "4Motion" all-wheel drive dual motors, delivering 282 and 335 horsepower, respectively. Devindra Hardawar for Engadget The ID.Buzz offers the seating of a minivan — with room for six to seven people depending on your configuration, and convenient sliding second-row doors — plus the height and storage capacity more akin to cargo vans. With all of its seats up, the Buzz offers an acceptable 18.6 cubic feet of storage, which is enough for a typical grocery run or a stroller and a diaper bag. Fold the third row down, though, and you get a far more useful 75.5 cubic feet of space. You could also remove the second and third row of seats entirely to get a massive 145.5 cubic feet of space. Funny enough, you could technically fit three people into the Buzz's third row, but US regulators have taken issue since that row only has two seatbelts. VW has recalled existing vehicles and says it'll be adding "unpadded trim parts" to reduce the seating area. Yes, it's the rare recall where you'll actually lose a bit of functionality in the name of safety. (Nobody is actually forcing Buzz owners to do that, though...) As for other niceties, the ID.Buzz offers an enormous 12.9-inch infotainment screen (I've never seen Apple CarPlay look so big before), a smaller driving information screen behind the steering wheel and an optional heads-up display. There's also a panoramic sunroof option, which can't be opened but can be tinted to look opaque on demand. Our review unit didn't have that sunroof, unfortunately, and the interior certainly felt a bit gloomier because of that. If I were seriously considering the ID.Buzz, I'd argue the sunroof a is requirement. (Admittedly, it could be a problem if you're trying to get babies and toddlers to sleep, since the interior will never truly get dark. But kids outgrow napping fairly quickly, and it's easy to find canopies for car seats.) Devindra Hardawar for Engadget What's good about the VW ID.Buzz? The best thing about the ID.Buzz is the vibe you get while driving it around town. People will stop and stare at it, kids will point at it excitedly and harried parents will approach it like the monolith from 2001. It's as if VW's designers took Marie Kondo's advice to heart: It simply sparks joy. As I dropped off my son at daycare one morning, one of the school's admins dragged me outside and demanded to see the interior. "I wish I could retire in this thing and travel the country," she said. The ID.Buzz is also very capable as an EV. Despite its large size, it's quick to accelerate and incredibly comfortable on the highway and bumpy roads. Parking was a bit annoying, but the Buzz was also easy to maneuver thanks to the large infotainment screen, which could display both single-camera and 360-degree overhead views at the same time. I had a much easier time backing into spots than I did with much smaller cars. The Buzz's large second row could easily fit three carseats side-by-side, assuming you get the models with the middle bench seat. I was able to hook up my son's carseat and my daughter's booster chair in a few minutes, without the finger-cramping I usually experience with my Volvo XC90 SUV. (One downside to the second row? You can't open its windows fully, instead only a smaller section of the windows open up.) Devindra Hardawar for Engadget I also instantly appreciated the Buzz's enormous storage area, as it was able to fit a large pile of charity donations that were sitting in my garage. That included a bike trailer for kids as well as an old high chair. We were able to fully load up the trunk with the third-row seats down, and there was still room in the second row for additional gear. That trip likely would have been possible with my Volvo, but it would have involved cramming in large items more creatively. With the ID.Buzz, I didn't break a sweat. Now that I'm several years into being a suburban dad with two kids (sigh), I've learned to appreciate the benefits of less flashy and more practical transportation. And there's no doubt the ID.Buzz is useful. In addition to that donation drop-off, I was also able to comfortably pile my parents into the Buzz along with my kids for a day trip. My dad thought the third row was absolutely huge, and my mom had no trouble sitting in the second row alongside the child and booster seats. There's no other EV that's this flexible. The Rivian R1S is far more expensive, and the Kia EV9 is great but doesn't offer as much storage. And neither of those cars have minivan-like sliding doors, which are a life-saver in tight parking spots. There's no true EV minivan in the US at this point, the best you can get is the hybrid Toyota Sienna (which I loved) and the plug-in hybrid Pacifica (which I had to dump because of Chrysler's terrible build quality). Devindra Hardawar for Engadget What's bad about the VW ID.Buzz? The hardest pill to swallow with the Buzz is its $60,000 starting price, which can escalate to over $70,000 if you want all the fixins. Basically, it's a luxury curiosity for those who can afford it, not something that's easily attainable for everyone. Its price could be excused if the Buzz also offered everything we see in comparable EVs, but its short 234-mile range is just inexcusable when the EV9 can reach 309 miles for around the same price. For such a large vehicle, you'd think VW would be able to stuff in more batteries. Realistically, the Buzz's range only becomes a problem during long road trips, where you'll have to charge more often compared to other EVs. But that can be an annoying process, since you'll typically have to spend at least half an hour at a charging station to get ready for the next leg of your trip. VW says the Buzz can go from 10 to 80 percent charge on a 200 kW DC fast charger in 30 minutes, but those aren't available everywhere. One hour of level 2 AC charging got me 12 percent of additional battery life, while level 1 trickle charging at home added 20 percent of juice over 14 hours. It's also worth noting that range estimates vary dramatically in cold weather, or if you're cranking the Buzz's heat or air conditioning. That's why it's always smart to aim for as much range as you can, even if you don't think you'll be driving that much. Volkswagen Beyond the obvious problems, I also hated the Buzz's capacitive touch controls, which are spread across its steering wheel buttons, infotainment center and window controls. While there are indentations and a bit of haptic feedback when you hit something, like pumping up the volume or choosing the next music track via the steering wheel, it's hard to differentiate those controls from nearby capacitive buttons. It's far too easy to tap the cruise control functions while you're just trying to change the volume, and vice versa. Since it's hard to actually feel where certain buttons are, I found myself looking down to make sure I was hitting the right option, which is something I absolutely hate doing while driving. Similarly, trying to adjust HVAC settings on the bottom portion of the infotainment screen can easily trigger the capacitive buttons below them, which was another reason I had to occasionally take my eyes off the road. Thankfully, VW appears to be focusing on physical buttons for future vehicles, but ID.Buzz owners are still left with a frustrating interface. The ID.Buzz's rearview mirror controls... how do they work? Devindra Hardawar for Engadget Here are just some of the ways the capacitive buttons infuriated me: It's difficult to turn on the cruise control and adjust your speed without looking down. It's tough to control the rear windows from the driver's seat, since it involves hitting a capacitive "Rear" button. There are only two controls for windows, so you have to choose between controlling the front and second-row windows. Even more annoying, the Buzz would sometimes disable the rear window option after a few seconds. I spent at least 10 minutes trying to figure out how the rear-view mirrors are controlled, and I still have no clue. It's an inscrutable combination of a joy-stick, turning dial and capacitive controls. Should you buy the VW ID.Buzz? At this point, given its price and range, the VW ID.Buzz just doesn't make sense for most people. If you really want a three-row EV, you'll likely be better served by the Kia EV9 or the Hyundai Ioniq 9, which offer more range for a similar price. And if you absolutely need something that's like a minivan, the Toyota Sienna is hard to beat. While it's not a full EV, its hybrid setup still offers a healthy 36 MPG. But, I've also noticed that used EVs tend to drop in price far quicker than gas cars. You can currently find the Polestar 2, which launched at around $60,000, for $30,000 or less in the used market. While I can't guarantee the Buzz will drop that far, I wouldn't be surprised if we see used versions for around $40,000 in a few years. And at that point, it could be a decent purchase even with its relatively low range. Devindra Hardawar for Engadget Wrap-up It's clear that the ID.Buzz is a big swing for VW, and it’s truly unique since there aren't any EV minivans outside of China. It's just a shame that it's held back by some obvious issues. The ID.Buzz is still undeniably useful though, especially if you don't plan on taking many road trips, so there's a chance it'll become more compelling as its price falls.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/transportation/evs/volkswagen-idbuzz-review-a-head-turning-ev-microbus-with-unfortunate-flaws-143024824.html?src=rss

중국 서버 제조업체 다우닝인포메이션인더스트리(Sugon, 이하 수곤)와 칩 설계 기업 하이곤인포메이션테크놀로지(Hygon, 이하 하이곤)가 전략적 합병을 발표했다. 분석가들은 미국의 수출 통제 강화 속에서 중국이 칩에서 서버로 이어지는 생태계 자립에 나선 것이라고 해석했다.이 거래는 중국 고성능컴퓨팅(HPC) 생태계의 핵심 기업 두 곳을 통합하는 것으로, 중국 기술 업계 합병에서는 최대 규모로 평가된다.수곤은 서버 제조, 클라우드 인프라, HPC 시스템에 주력해 왔으며, 하이곤은 2014년 합작사로 설립돼 중앙처리장치(CPU)와 인공지능(AI) 및 딥러닝에 특화된 딥 컴퓨팅 장치(DCU)를 설계해 왔다. 합병 이전에도 수곤은 하이곤의 최대 주주였으며, 하이곤 상장 이후에도 지분을 유지하고 있었다.이번 합병은 미국 정부가 고급 컴퓨팅 기술의 수출 통제를 강화하면서 AI 칩 접근권을 우방국에 집중하고 중국의 차세대 기술 개발을 저지하려는 움직임 속에서 추진됐다.공급망에 미치는 영향수곤과 하이곤의 합병은 중국이 자립적인 컴퓨팅 생태계를 구축하려는 노력을 강화하는 한편 미국의 기술 제재 강화에 대응하려는 움직임으로 간주되고 있다.포레스터(Forrester) 부사장이자 수석 애널리스트인 찰리 다이는 “이번 합병은 하이곤의 칩 설계 전문성과 수곤의 서버 및 슈퍼컴퓨팅 역량을 전략적으로 통합해 칩에서 시스템까지 수직 통합 시너지를 실현할 가능성을 제시한다”라고 분석했다.그레이하운드리서치(Greyhound Research)에 따르면 중국 내 AI 중심 기업의 58%는 2023년 중반 이후 미국 기술을 스택에서 제거하려는 노력을 가속화하고 있다.그레이하운드리서치의 CEO 산치트 비어 고기아는 “글로벌 기술 공급망에서 이번 합병은 새로운 분기점을 의미한다. 미국 설계 부품을 중국에서 조립하던 국가와 기업은 이제 복수 기준 준수와 상호운용성 문제에 직면할 수 있다. 한편 신흥 시장은 중국의 수직 통합형 제품을 AI 인프라 구축의 저비용 대안으로 볼 가능성이 있다”라고 설명했다.이번 합병은 글로벌 기술 리더들이 직면한 환경 변화를 단적으로 보여준다. 이제 기업들은 중국의 내향적 전략 전환이 국제 기술 표준과 공급망 재편에 어떤 영향을 미칠지 면밀히 평가해야 할 상황에 놓였다.고기아는 “글로벌 CIO에게 이번 움직임은 중국의 엔드 투 엔트(E2E) AI 인프라가 성숙해지고 있음을 보여준다. 특히 공공 서비스, 국방, 금융 등 규제가 많은 산업에서 뚜렷하게 나타날 것”이라고 설명했다. 다만 그는 “내부 회복 탄력성을 강화하는 반면, 국경을 넘나드는 혁신의 활로는 좁아질 수 있다”라고 지적했다.테크인사이트(TechInsights)의 반도체 애널리스트 마니시 라왓은 중국 기관 구매자들이 미국산 기술보다 자국 컴퓨팅 인프라를 점점 더 우선시할 가능성이 있다고 전망했다.라왓은 “또한 중국이 서구 영향력으로부터 독립된 자체 표준과 공급망을 개발함에 따라 새로운 글로벌 기술 생태계가 부상할 가능성이 있다”라며, “이번 합병은 단순한 경제적 통합을 넘어 지정학적 안전장치 역할도 한다. 중국이 향후 제재의 영향을 줄이려는 전략이자, 글로벌 기술 기업들이 중국 시장 접근을 유지하는 데 따르는 리스크를 부각시키는 신호”라고 분석했다.더 넓게 보면 이런 움직임은 다른 국가들도 자국 중심 기술 자립을 추진하도록 유도해, 글로벌 기술 생태계의 파편화 경향을 더욱 강화할 수 있다.AI 역량 향상수곤과 하이곤의 합병 법인은 수직 통합된 규모의 확대와 시장 자본 확대로 경쟁력을 높여, 중국의 AI 목표 실현을 위한 핵심 인프라 벤더로 자리매김할 것으로 예상되고 있다. 이는 향후 H3C, 레노버 등 중국 내 대기업과의 경쟁력을 확보할 가능성이 높다.카운터포인트리서치(Counterpoint Research)의 공동설립자이자 파트너인 닐 샤는 “이번 합병은 중국 공공 부문, 국영 기업, 개발자 커뮤니티에 유리하게 작용할 것”이라며 “하이곤 기반 AI 서버에 최적화된 애플리케이션 개발을 촉진해 더 탄탄한 개발자 생태계를 조성할 수 있다”라고 말했다.전략적으로는 중국이 자립형 기술 생태계 구축에 박차를 가함에 따라 인텔, AMD, 엔비디아 등 기존 기술 벤더에 대한 수요를 감소시킬 가능성도 있다. 라왓은 “합병은 중국의 AI 및 고성능 컴퓨팅(HPC) 분야 성장에 기여해 거버넌스, 국방, 에너지, 통신 등 주요 산업에서 보안성과 성능이 최적화된 중국산 애플리케이션을 지원할 것”이라며 “외산 기술 의존도를 줄이고 리스크를 낮추는 역할도 할 수 있다”라고 진단했다[email protected]

The so-called reciprocal tariffs imposed on "Liberation Day" and the trafficking-related tariffs have all been ruled an illegal overreach by the President and have been blocked by a U.S. trade court.iPhone prices could have been raised as a result of tariffsThere has been a lot of volatility with Apple, big tech, and United States businesses since the April 2 "Liberation Day" tariffs imposed by President Trump. While many of the obscenely high tariffs have been lowered since, a global baseline of a still-high 10% has been in place.According to a report from Reuters, a U.S. trade court has ruled that President Trump overstepped his authority. While it doesn't pass judgement on whether the tariffs would work as intended, the court does say they are not allowed according to federal law.

Sony's latest Days of Play sale has just kicked off. It features deals aplenty on PlayStation 5 consoles, accessories and games, as well as PS Plus subscriptions. One of the more intriguing discounts is for the PS5 DualSense Edge. The premium controller has dropped by 15 percent from $200 to $169. That's the lowest price to date for the peripheral. The deal is available on Amazon and from Sony directly. The layout apes that of the regular DualSense controller, but there's a lot more going on with the Edge. For instance, there are function buttons below each thumbstick that allow you to swap between button configurations (which you can customize at any time in the PS5 settings). On the rear, there are switches that enable you to change the pull length of the shoulder triggers. There are also rear paddles, and you can choose between a set of levers or shorter half-domes. It's possible to swap out the thumbsticks as well and, because they attach to the controller magnetically, it's a cinch to do so. Other than the standard nubs, you can choose between short-stemmed convex and long-stemmed convex options. There's also a cable lock that prevents you from accidentally removing the USB-C charging cable by accident. You might want to keep that cable plugged in. One of the major downsides of the DualSense Edge is its battery life. In our testing, we got around five to six hours of use on a single charge, less than the six or seven we get with the standard DualSense. Last but not least, the DualSense Edge comes with a hardshell carrying case. There's even a passthrough flap through which you can thread a USB-C cable to charge the controller while it's cocooned in the case. There are, of course, lots of other intriguing discounts in the Days of Play sale, including one on the standard PS5 DualSense controller. That has dropped to $55, which is $20 off the list price.
