Paul Hogan spotted at Sydney Airport after rumours he is moving back with son Chance Paul Hogan spotted at Sydney Airport after rumours he is moving back with son Chance Paul Hogan was spotted in a wheelchair at Sydney Airport on Wednesday with staff wheeling him through a terminal. The 85-year-old Aussie icon touched down in Australia solo despite rumours he was planning a move back to his homeland with his son, Chance, 27. Photos of Hogan being wheeled through the airport by female staff members show the movie star wearing a blue shirt, dark blazer and pants and a pair of sunglasses. His arrival Down Under comes after a long flight from the US, where he lives and was seen this month reuniting with his ex-wife and Crocodile Dundee co-star Linda Kozlowski, 66, in Los Angeles on a dinner outing with Chance. Their son has been living with Hogan in Venice Beach since his parents’ divorce in 2014.

His unruly behaviour worsened in January this year when he posted a video of himself to social media that showed him drinking wine and making suicidal comments. Hogan once told the Today show that he dreamed of returning home to Australia but had “business reasons and my son to stay in the States for now”. In a past interview with The *********** Hogan implied he would rather live in Australia, but revealed he felt LA should be his home at the moment while Chance was still in his 20s.

South African mother given life sentence for trafficking 6-year-old daughter South African mother given life sentence for trafficking 6-year-old daughter By Siyanda Mthethwa JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) -A South African mother and two accomplices were sentenced to life imprisonment on Thursday for trafficking her then-6-year-old daughter, in a case that gained nationwide attention since the child went missing last year. Kelly Smith, her boyfriend Jacquen Appollis and their friend Steveno Van Rhyn were convicted of kidnapping and trafficking the girl, Joshlin Smith, after she disappeared from a small town in the Western Cape. In a trial that shocked the country, a witness said Kelly Smith told her that she had sold her daughter to a sangoma, or traditional healer, for 20,000 rand ($1,100) and that the girl was desired for her “eyes and skin”. Joshlin Smith has still not been found despite an extensive police search. Announcing their sentences on Thursday, high court judge Nathan Erasmus said the fact Kelly Smith, Appollis and Van Rhyn were drug users was no excuse. “There is nothing that I can find that is redeeming and deserving of a lesser sentence than the harshest I can impose,” Erasmus said. For kidnapping the three were given 10-year jail terms.

Cyberpunk 2 Is Probably Further Away Than You Hope Cyberpunk 2 Is Probably Further Away Than You Hope Earlier this week, CD Projekt Red confirmed that the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel is now in pre-production. For the moment, the project is also being internally called Cyberpunk 2. However, the newfound foreword momentum doesn’t mean that Cyberpunk 2 will be arriving anytime soon. CDPR co-CEO Michał Nowakowski has indicated that the sequel may be years away from release. “Our journey from the pre-production to the final release date takes four to five years on average,” Nowakowski said during CD Projekt Red’s investor presentation (via GamesRadar). “Having said that, and keeping in mind that each project is unique and there are many variables that influence the final outcome, I will not lead you into specific years.” If that leads Cyberpunk 2 to a 2030 or 2031 release date, that means it would arrive a decade or longer after Cyberpunk 2077 was released. It’s also likely to fall in the next generation of consoles, presumably on PlayStation 6 and whatever comes after Xbox Series X|S. The bulk of CDPR’s resources currently appears to be focused on The Witcher 4, which only started pre-production late last year. CD Projekt Red North America is working on Cyberpunk 2, and a recent job posting for the game suggested that the developer wants the sequel to have “the most-realistic crowds ever.” Mike Pondsmith–the creator of the Cyberpunk franchise–isn’t directly working on Cyberpunk 2. But Pondsmith has disclosed that there will be a second city featured in the sequel beyond Night City, the setting of the first game. Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition will be a launch title for Nintendo Switch 2. It will be released approximately one month after Switch 2’s debut on June 5.

Nvidia is popping after earnings beat. Here’s what Wall Street analysts had to say Nvidia is popping after earnings beat. Here’s what Wall Street analysts had to say Analysts liked what Nvidia had to say in its latest quarterly results . The artificial intelligence chip darling reported fiscal first-quarter earnings and revenue that beat analyst expectations. The company’s data center business led the charge, with sales soaring 73% year over year. Nvidia’s current quarter revenue guidance was also about in line with analyst estimates at $45 billion. That outlook would have been about $8 billion higher excluding lost sales from a recent restriction on exporting its H20 chips to China, the company added. Nvidia shares popped more than 6% in the premarket following the release. Other semiconductor stocks followed Nvidia higher. Dutch semiconductor equipment firm ASML traded more than 2% higher . AMD climbed 3%, and Micron Technology advanced 2.6%. Overall, most analysts reiterated their buy or outperform equivalent ratings on Nvidia following its report, with some hiking their price targets. Here’s what those at some of the biggest shops on the Street had to say” JPMorgan reiterates overweight rating and $170 price target The firm’s updated target implies 26.1% upside from Wednesday’s closing level. “The team continues to maintain a 1- 2 step lead ahead of competitors with its silicon/hardware/software platforms and a strong ecosystem, and the team is further distancing itself with its aggressive cadence of new product launches and more product segmentation over time.” UBS maintains buy rating and $175 price target The firm’s new target implies nearly 30% upside from Wednesday’s close. “We see the debate having shifted in a positive direction here as results and guidance were as we (and most investors) expected but gross margin commentary was a little better than feared, and NVDA’s comments on GB200 rack shipments (and progress on GB300) were even more bullish than the positive feedback at Computex last week and give little air to investor concerns about supply chain inventory. … With China stripped out of the model, the set up here seems constructive as it seems likely the Trump administration will allow NVDA to ship a new SKU into China (we assume ~$2-3B/Q add-back), hyperscaler capex vectors remain to the upside, and AI is rapidly diffusing around the world given the sheer size of some of these projects ranging from Humain/Saudi Arabia (~$10B for NVDA) to Stargate (~$20B for NVDA) to the 5GW AI campus in UAE (~$100B for NVDA).” Citi maintains its buy rating and hikes its price target by $30 to $180 The bank’s new target calls for more than 33% upside from here. “NVDA reported Apr-Q results in-line and Jul-Q sales of $45B ~$1B above our preview expectations clearing the final hurdle of the China H20 ban transition quarter. Moreover, Blackwell sales of $24B topped our $20B expectations and management maintained mid 70’s gross margins target on improving Blackwell profitability with no major tariff impact. As such, with margins expanding thru Jan-Q, we now expect NVDA stock to break its range bound trend since mid-last year and likely make a fresh 52 week high. We see Citi’s Silicon Valley Bus Tour next week and GTC Paris June 11-12 where we expect sovereign AI Europe announcements as positive catalysts for the stock.” Jefferies reiterates buy rating with $185 price target Its target sees more than 37% upside ahead. “The biggest issue for the stock was the disconnect between Blackwell sales and GB200 shipments but that is now in the rearview as NVDA noted multiple hyperscalers ramping 1k NVL72s/week. We would not run-rate several thousand NVL72 per week but the point is that whatever inventory that built up is clearing fast. … Altogether 2H25 shaping up nicely for NVDA with likely beat/raises from here, while the setup for the rest of AI names becomes more challenging.” Barclays keeps overweight rating and increases price target to $170 from $155 Its updated target implies more than 26% upside. “4 major improvements to demand since GTC are allowing the company to largely offset the China headwind. 1) Inference taking off with reasoning models, 2) AI factories, 3) AI diffusion off the table, 4) Enterprise agents. … Material step-up (64% seq.) in Networking is also indicative of better system sales, which should alleviate concerns on product transition and the company highlighted initial GB300 sales later this quarter. … The 2H should see a material acceleration as more system deployments hit the market and Ultra transition layers on.” Wolfe Research keeps outperform rating and increases price target to $170 from $150 Its new target also calls for more than 26% upside. “NVDA remains among our favorite names, as the chief beneficiary of the AI revolution. Guidance implies that DC revenue (ex-China) will be up 15% q/q in JulQ, indicating solid Blackwell growth despite well documented rack production constraints. Consistent with our preview, many other investor concerns have by now been addressed. China is now out of numbers (and some could possibly come back), AI diffusion rules won’t be enforced, capex plans appear solid, and it now appears that the rack issues have improved.” Morgan Stanley maintains overweight and top semis pick ratings and lifts price target by $10 to $170 The target likewise sees more than 26% upside. “NVIDIA is putting digestion fears fully to rest, showing acceleration of the business other than the China headwinds around growth drivers that seem durable. Everything should get better from here.” Bank of America reiterates buy rating and hikes price target by $20 to $180 It’s updated target implies more than 33% upside. “Three major takeaways from the Q1 call: 1) China derisked, with $15bn in 1H sales of H20 product now already in the model, 2) Blackwell racks in full production, with every large hyperscaler now ramping close to 1K racks/week, 13K racks/quarter or ~$30bn+/q at $2.5mn+ rack ASP (or $100bn+ across the top few hyperscalers, though NVDA didn’t quantify further), and 3) NVDA confident in GM recovery back to mid-70s % sometime later in the year, another sign of improving demand and rack-scale execution.” Source link #Nvidia #popping #earnings #beat #Heres #Wall #Street #analysts Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]

More people are ditching Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile according to new data — here’s where they’re going More people are ditching Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile according to new data — here’s where they’re going When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Credit: Shutterstock It’s been a long time since I was on a cell phone plan from any of the big three wireless carriers, but it looks like more people are ditching them as well, at least according to the latest data reports. I’m not surprised by this sudden shift either, especially when some of the best cheap cell phone plans come from MVNOs and regional wireless carriers. From increasing prices to severe outages, it hasn’t been easy for traditional wireless carriers such as AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile to keep their customers. In fact, they’re losing out to cable companies of all things. What’s really surprising is that the MoffettNathanson report shows that cable companies are tacking on new customers at an impressive rate — led by Charter Communications, Comcast and Altice USA. They added 886,000 lines during the first three months of the year, which is up from the 804,000 accounted for during the same ******* in 2024. Credit: MoffettNathanson report Charter Communications alone added 514,000 lines in Q1 2025, which outperformed the 495,000 lines that T-Mobile gained for the same *******. Meanwhile, rivals AT&T added 324,000 — while Verizon was red for the ******* with a loss of 289,000 customers. Verizon recently added a 3-year price lock guarantee to entice customers, a move that aims to mitigate fears about phone plan rates continually increasing. Comcast also saw positive gains, adding 323,000 customers in Q1 2025, with Altice gaining 49,000 customers. In total, cable companies added 19.05 million mobile lines, which indicates that more people are interested in other cell phone plans beyond those from the big three carriers. Even though cable companies have long established themselves as budget alternatives and particularly target the lower end of the market, they’re now branching out by offering a wide range of cell phone plans — with a ******* focus on adding premium plans and devices. It also helps that these phone plan services are sometimes bundled in with home broadband service.

The high-end PCIe 5.0 SSD monopoly could be about to end: Silicon Motion’s SM2508-based SSDs were all around Computex The high-end PCIe 5.0 SSD monopoly could be about to end: Silicon Motion’s SM2508-based SSDs were all around Computex For several years, the market of high-performance SSDs with a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface for client PCs has been dominated by solid-state drives based on the Phison PS5026-E26 controller, which has affected their pricing. Yet, this monopoly is about to end as over a dozen SSD makers demonstrated their Silicon Motion SM2508-based drives at Computex, products that are either already on the market or about to enter it. As Silicon Motion primarily focuses on large OEMs, Micron was the first company to release a high-end SSD with a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface back in February. Called the Micron 4600 and one of the best SSDs around, it’s based on the SM2508 controller and Micron’s own B68S 3D TLC NAND with a 3600 MT/s interface. This was an important milestone that officially placed SMI on the map with a high-end PCIe Gen5 controller and challenged the E26 dominance. But that was only one maker, albeit a very significant one. However, as of Computex 2025, Silicon Motion has made significant inroads into the high-end consumer SSD market with over a dozen partners. (Image credit: Tom’s Hardware) The showcase revealed that companies like Adata, Crucial, Kingston, Lexar, TeamGroup Transcend, and Predator (Acer) are adopting the SM2508 controller for their next-generation Gen 5 SSDs. By partnering with a wide variety of SSD manufacturers, from top-tier players like Micron and Kingston to niche brands like Fanxiang and Ediloca, Silicon Motion can address a significant part of the market, and thus it is reasonable to expect the company to gain share of the enthusiast-grade SSD market. You may like (Image credit: Tom’s Hardware) The Silicon Motion SM2508 SSD controller is based on a quad-core Arm Cortex-R8 implementation and features eight NAND channels supporting an interface speed of up to 3600 MT/s per channel. On the performance side, drives based on the SM2508 are capable of delivering sequential read and write speeds of up to 14 GB/s as well as random read and write speeds of up to 2.5 million IOPS, which is in line with the capabilities of competing client SSDs with a PCIe 5.0 x4 interface. Meanwhile, the SM2508 is made on TSMC’s N6 (6nm-class) process technology and consumes up to 3.5W (the controller only), which reduces requirements for cooling. (Image credit: Tom’s Hardware) These lowered requirements for cooling are quite evident, as the vast majority of SSDs that we saw at Computex do not really have fancy coolers. Of course, TeamGroup has after-market coolers for M.2 drives that are huge and are aimed at enthusiasts and professionals who need to squeeze every bit of performance out of their hardware.

Now-cancelled ****** Panther game would reportedly have had T’challa’s son taking on the Skrull Now-cancelled ****** Panther game would reportedly have had T’challa’s son taking on the Skrull Concept art and story details from the now-cancelled EA ****** Panther game have seemingly emerged. The game, which was in development at the now-shuttered Cliffhanger Games, would have seen players taking on the role of T’Challa’s son, according to an X user citing a survey held by EA. User @notfunEman also posted several pieces of concept art for the game, and some story details. The game would have seen players taking on the role of Azari, T’Challa’s son. Azari, who was reportedly one of several playable characters in the game, fights T’Challa in ritual combat to begin the story, but would have been interrupted by the Skrull invading Wakanda and kidnapping T’Challa. Little was known about the game, which has been in development for several years. Director Kevin Stephens, who previously worked on Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Middle-earth: Shadow of War, said last year: “We want our game to enable players to feel what it’s like to be worthy of the ****** Panther mantle in unique, story-driven ways, and we want Cliffhanger Games to empower everyone on our team as we collaborate to bring this amazing world to life.” It emerged this week that the game has now been cancelled, and that EA is closing down the studio that was formed to work on the project. According to a report from IGN, the publisher has shut down Cliffhanger Games, and is attempting to place affected staff in other roles across the company. The report says EA will also be laying off other staff on its mobile and central teams, in a round of layoffs separate to those last month which saw 300-400 staff laid off across EA, including 100 at Apex Legends studio Respawn Entertainment.

AI compliance: Dealing with data change and proliferation AI compliance: Dealing with data change and proliferation In this podcast, we talk to Mathieu Gorge, CEO of Vigitrust, about the compliance risks posed by data during artificial intelligence (AI) processing, and training in particular. The key challenges here are that as datasets are trained, more data is created, and it can be difficult to ensure that data is also compliant, especially as it proliferates. Here, Gorge talks about the need to know what’s being fed into AI, what comes out, where it goes, who has access to it and how it’s stored, and whether it is compliant. He also deals with the security and compliance frameworks that can be used and the need to build AI compliance into organisational security culture. What’s the latest on AI and compliance, with reference to storage and backup, that a CIO needs to know about? As you know, AI adoption is really growing everywhere and we’ve seen the EU deploying some AI regulations. We’ve also seen some frameworks adapting to AI, for instance NIST that has an AI framework. We’ve seen some security associations pushing for their own standards. I can think of the Cloud Security Alliance, but also working groups from ISSA, from Isaca, all of them providing guidance. I think that what we need to consider is that we are most likely going to see more AI-related regulation. Some of it will be national, some of it will be federal, some of it will be international, a little bit like what we’ve seen with privacy. And it’s important to draw a comparison between the evolution of cyber security standards and AI standards, governance standards. At the beginning, about 25 years ago, there were about 100 standards on network security, IT security and data security. And nowadays we only dial back to about five or six, like HIPAA, PCI, NIST, ISO, CIS and so on. My hope is that we’re going to do the same with AI, but in a faster way, so that we can concentrate on managing AI deployments from a data classification, data privacy and storage perspective. If you look at the fundamentals, what is AI governance really? AI governance as regulated in the US, the EU and other countries is really about saying: “Well, we’ve got this new way of processing data. So, we need to understand where the data is coming from. Do we have the authority to actually use that data and put it into an AI system to treat it for whatever purpose we treat it?” The data comes in in a particular form. [Questions include:] Does it come out [of AI processing] in a different kind of data form, data file or whatever? Is that putting us out of compliance? Is that facilitating compliance? Do we have safeguards around who’s accessing the data? Do we have safeguards around how we store that data? How long do we need to keep it? How long will we need to report on that data, depending on where we’re based? When we store that data, where is it supposed to be stored? So, the issue with AI is that as we deploy more AI systems, we essentially multiply the data a lot more than we used to. And so, we’re creating a lot more data than we used to and that data needs to be stored somewhere. And it needs to be stored in a way that doesn’t put you out of compliance. So, you need to watch your AI ecosystem and regulate how the data comes in, how it goes out, who’s got access to it and where you store it. How should the CIO approach the job of ensuring compliance for AI operations in their organisation, given the potential scope for complexity? I think the CIO’s role should be to understand what kind of information goes into AI. At the end of the day, the chief information officer is responsible for managing the information that comes into the systems, that goes out, that can be accessed by third parties, how it can be accessed and so on. And so, I would highly recommend that any CIO works in conjunction with their CSO or their security team and looks at global AI regulation and policy. And I would highly recommend looking at the IAPP, the International Association of Privacy Professionals. Their website has an AI law and policy tracker that can allow you to understand the various frameworks and their requirements in terms of data classification, data deployment, storage and compliance requirements. If you are pushing AI solutions and AI deployments, you need to push a culture of adoption for those systems, but you also need to push a culture of data management, information management and security with that. Otherwise, you will fall out of compliance Mathieu Gorge, Vigitrust The next thing to do is to make sure that when you do training for your staff, as they roll out more and more AI-based systems that allow them to be more efficient and more productive, they also understand the risks with AI. The same way as we train them for email, for social networking, for other stuff, the CIO should be pushing, at board level, the concept of integrating AI, not just in the business culture of the organisation, but also in the security and information and data management culture of the system. In other words, if you are pushing AI solutions and AI deployments, you need to push a culture of adoption for those systems, but you also need to push a culture of data management, information management and security with that. Otherwise, you will fall out of compliance. So again, look at your ecosystem, how you intend to use AI for various business reasons across multiple systems, look at an AI policy tracker somewhere, and then try to apply that to your policy so that it quickly becomes part of the DNA of your organisation. Because AI is going to continue to be deployed. There are going to be more and more AI-based solutions that will benefit the business. The question is, will it benefit your data management? Will it make it more complicated? Potentially, if you don’t manage it, but if you use good AI governance frameworks, and if you try to distil them down to what matters to your organisation, you’re then on to a good strategy for AI deployment and AI compliance.

Greggs sausage roll immortalised at Madame Tussauds wax museum Greggs sausage roll immortalised at Madame Tussauds wax museum A sculpture of a Greggs sausage roll is to be unveiled at Madame Tussauds waxworks museum. The world-famous attraction has said the pastry-cloaked processed meat cylinder is the first food item to go on display in its own right. It elevates the snack to the level of a British cultural icon, sitting along celebrities such as Shakespeare and David Attenborough. Greggs said the company sells one million of the rolls every day. Jo Kinsey is studio manager at the museum and oversees a team of artists responsible for creating and maintaining the lifelike models. She said the Greggs sausage roll was “synonymous with British culture – we just had to put it in our culture zone”. She added the artists had put in “numerous” hours to capture every detail of the popular menu item. “We took the process very seriously, making this creation the same way we make all our figures at the attraction,” she said. “We can’t wait for guests to be stopped in the tracks at the lifelike sausage roll – just in time for National Sausage Roll Day.” It will become a temporary exhibit at Madame Tussauds’ in Baker Street on 5 June, where it will remain on display for the rest of the month.

Chie voice actor says she won’t reprise her role in the Persona 4 remake Chie voice actor says she won’t reprise her role in the Persona 4 remake Another voice actor has claimed that they won’t be a part of the currently unannounced Persona 4 remake. On Wednesday, actor Yuri Lowenthal announced that he won’t be part of the long-rumored remake, despite his desire to reprise his role as Yosuka Hanamura. In a post on Bluesky, Lowenthal wrote: “And for those who keep asking, no, I will not be returning as Yosuke for the Persona 4 remake. I asked. Maybe I even begged, but they don’t want me to come back.” Now, a second actor, this time Erin Fitzgerald, has claimed that she also won’t be a part of the game. “For those asking, I have not been asked to reprise my role as Chie Satonaka in the Persona 4 remake,” Fitzgerald wrote on Bluesky. “RIP. I am blessed to have recorded as many Persona 4 games as I did playing her.” Neither ***** nor Atlus has announced a remake of Persona 4, but reports have persisted for some time that one is currently in development. The last Atlus remake, Persona 3 Reload, was released in 2024, where it was met with critical and fan acclaim. Persona 4 was released in 2008 on the PlayStation 2, making it one of the final significant releases for the system. The game eventually came to PS3 as a PS2 classic in 2014, but a native PS3 version was never released due to Atlus focusing its resources on Persona 5. A special edition re-release of the game called Persona 4: Golden was released on PlayStation Vita in 2012. This new version, which included new content and two new social links, was very well-received when it was released and remains one of the Vita’s best-reviewed and best-selling titles. Persona 4 Golden was released on PC in 2020, and was eventually ported to Switch, PS4, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in 2023.

The Perfect Timing of Vail Resorts’ Returning CEO The Perfect Timing of Vail Resorts’ Returning CEO With a market cap of roughly $6B, Vail Resorts (NYSE:) is a leading mountain resort and regional ski areas operator in the United States and globally. The stock is up 15% today, after the company announced that Rob Katz, whose first 16-year run as CEO ended in November 2021, would return to the helm. Can today’s stock price jump give birth to a sustainable uptrend then, or is it just a dead cat bounce? The weekly chart below gives Vail Resorts investors reasons for optimism. November 2021, was significant for the company, not only because it changed CEOs. It was also the month in which the stock reached its all-time high of $376. In April 2025, it fell to $130, down 65% from that record. So it is fair to say that Rob Katz timed his exit perfectly in late 2021. Furthermore, the timing of his return to the top job at Vail Resorts might be just as good. The recent two-thirds decline wasn’t a coincidence, and we doubt that whoever was CEO would’ve made a big difference. It followed a complete five-wave impulse pattern, marked I-II-III-IV-V, which began in 2003. Wave II took place during the 2008 Financial Crisis, while Wave IV culminated in the COVID-19 panic of March 2020. According to the theory, a correction follows every impulse and usually erases the entire fifth wave. Just like it did in this case. On the other hand, once a correction is over, the preceding trend resumes. If this count is correct, new records lie ahead for Vail Resorts in the long term. The new CEO will probably be awarded the credit as he seems to have picked the bottom just as skillfully as he timed the top in 2021. The decline between $376 and $130 looks like a complete A-B-C zigzag correction. Wave A is a leading diagonal, followed by a triangle correction in wave B. Wave C is a textbook five-wave impulse, marked 1-2-3-4-5. Together, this correction and the impulsive uptrend that preceded it give us a textbook Elliott Wave cycle and a clear bullish setup. We don’t know if new CEO Rob Katz uses Elliott Wave analysis, and of course, it is most likely just a coincidence, but we surely do envy his timing.

These MacBook Pros and iMacs could be left behind by macOS 16 – which could be called macOS 26 These MacBook Pros and iMacs could be left behind by macOS 16 – which could be called macOS 26 The new version of macOS will be revealed on June 9 at WWDC Several older Intel-based Macs might be incompatible with it Apple is rumored to be switching to a year-based “macOS 26” name Apple releases a new version of its Mac operating system every year, and when that happens, there are inevitably older Macs that are no longer supported. We’re just a week or two away from Apple unveiling its latest iOS and macOS updates at its WWDC 2025 event, and we’ve just found out exactly which Macs might be left behind. That information comes from AppleInsider, which cites “people familiar with the matter.” These sources have revealed that a slate of Intel-based Macs will be incompatible with the forthcoming software update, meaning they’ll be stuck on older versions of Apple’s operating systems. You may like Specifically, AppleInsider says the following Macs will be compatible with the next version of macOS: MacBook Pro 2019 or later MacBook Air M1 or later iMac 2020 or later Mac Pro 2019 or later Mac mini M1 or later Mac Studio That means there are some notable omissions. The 2018 MacBook Pro, 2020 Intel-based MacBook Air, 2017 iMac Pro, and 2018 Mac mini all work with the current version of macOS (macOS Sequoia) but are left off AppleInsider’s list. That suggests that they won’t be able to upgrade beyond macOS Sequoia. What’s in a name? (Image credit: Future / Apple) Interestingly, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman has also claimed that Apple is set to switch up its operating system naming conventions. Instead of the previously expected iOS 19 and macOS 16, Apple could name its platforms after the calendar year. So that means we’ll have iOS 26 and macOS 26, Gurman believes. Alongside the name change, these operating systems are expected to come with sweeping changes to their visual styles and user interfaces, something that AppleInsider’s sources also confirmed. Unfortunately, that means that the aforementioned Macs will miss out on this new look as well. Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals, and more. If you have one of the Macs that are set to miss out on macOS 26, you might want to think about upgrading. Not only will that ensure you get all the latest macOS features, but you’ll likely get hardware improvements and better battery life too. If you’re thinking about it, our guide to the best Macs and MacBooks should help you decide which one to get.

Why Thematic Capex Is Fueling A New Era of Industrial Metals Demand Why Thematic Capex Is Fueling A New Era of Industrial Metals Demand You might have missed it with all the news/noise of this year, but if you look in the right places, you’ll find a burgeoning thematic capex ***** — and many of these themes are set to run over multiple years and at major scale. Key Themes and Drivers of the Capex *****: Electrification: the rise and rollout of electronic vehicles (especially in China) + the infrastructure to enable that such as charging stations, breakthroughs and scaling of battery technology + the things that enables (e.g. solar), and increased energy investment to fuel the resultant rise in demand. Energy Transition: this spans things like smart grids and infrastructure improvement but also an apparent showdown between renewable energy and nuclear energy as the receivers of the baton from oil & gas in the great global energy transition. Artificial Intelligence: the big thing on this front is datacenters and the energy production capacity to fuel booming electricity demand, but also likely coming next will be a ***** in production of AI-enabled devices. Robotics: one such AI-enabled device will be an extension of the ***** in consumer robotics (beyond just robotic lawnmowers, cleaners, and toys); there are big things happening with humanoid robots and autonomous vehicles (roaming the sky, ground, water, and spaces in between, helping with all sorts of tasks), not to mention ongoing penetration of robotics into manufacturing, construction, and logistics. ‘Shoring: the three big shorings are likely to continue; reshoring (bringing manufacturing back, nearshoring (bringing manufacturing closer), friendshoring (making geopolitical-driven decisions on manufacturing location). These reflect ongoing supply chain resiliency efforts post-pandemic, along with regulatory incentives, and the harrowing geopolitical landscape. Next-gen Manufacturing: closely related to that is next-generation manufacturing, which includes things like 3D printing and robotics —which raise the imperative for leadership in advanced manufacturing and enable reduced emphasis/constraints around labor costs. Geopolitics/Defense: and back on geopolitics, war continues to be a racket; Europe is making a major step-up in defense spending, restocking across the world following transfers to Ukraine, maybe a “golden dome“, and future warfare R&D and rollout (including the intersection of robotics, AI, and the new realities of modern warfare; i.e. drones). Space: on a brighter note, the emerging commercial space sector is gathering momentum; with cost to orbit and options for launch steadily improving and opening the path to increased off-world commercial activity (satellites and space stations, zero-g manufacturing, tourism, space-based resource utilization, and eventually moon/mars economy). The reason this is interesting, aside from being just plain interesting, is the impact on commodities demand —especially industrial metals. While industrial metals tend to be very sensitive, there are clearly multiple themes and trends already in play that are set to boost demand. Meanwhile on the supply side we’ve just been through one of the deepest and longest downturns in industrial metals & mining capex; while this is turning around, it is clear that the world is underinvesting in supply relative to what is required for all these great things outlined above (so… on that note, maybe also add capex relating to commodity exploration, production, and processing to the list!). All of this adds up to a outlook for metals (and commodities in general). And overall it’s a reminder that there are some bright spots and out there. Key point: There’s a multi-pronged thematic capex ***** underway. Source link #Thematic #Capex #Fueling #Era #Industrial #Metals #Demand Pelican News View the full article at [Hidden Content]
