TikTok After Trump plans to ban WeChat and Tencent from trading in the United States
According to foreign media reports, US President Trump signed two executive orders on the 6th local time, announcing that he will ban any transactions from any American individual and enterprise with TikTok's parent company ByteDance in 45 days, and prohibit any transactions related to WeChat and Tencent in the United States.
This means that after 45 days, citizens in the United States, as well as any person in the United States who are regulated by US laws, will no longer be able to continue using WeChat and TikTok, otherwise they may face legal blows. Affected by this news, Tencent's stock price fell by nearly 10% during the session today.
It is worth noting that this ban order not only restricts WeChat, but also restricts US companies from trading with Tencent and its subsidiaries.However, according to Cailianshe, the scope of the ban on WeChat that Trump just signed is not clear, and it may not involve other businesses of Tencent, such as game companies that Tencent holds shares.
Huatai Securities analyzed that the United States bans transactions with Tencent mainly to prevent overseas WeChat from evading the potential possibility of ban by converting its parent company and banning Tencent from making more investments in the United States. However, with the changes in Sino-US relations, BAT's cooperation and investment in the United States have long been stagnant in the past three years.
The above analysis believes that Tencent’s current investment in the United States is mainly concentrated in the entertainment content field, and does not involve the social communication and information field that this ban focuses on. Moreover, Tencent does not have controlling stake in most of the investment companies, that is, it does not have permission to obtain and manage user data. It is estimated that Tencent’s main investment in the United States currently accounts for about 3% of Tencent’s current market value, and the overall risk is controllable. (Source: Interface News)

Former "father of notebooks": Toshiba officially withdrew and ended the PC business
Since 1985, Toshiba has started to manufacture notebooks, and is known as the world's first company to mass-produce and launch the flip-type laptop Thorn EMI Liberator. In the 1990s, Toshiba focused on the hard-core Satellite product line, and subsequently extended the thin and light Portégé product line. In the late 1990s, Toshiba once jumped to the world's largest laptop manufacturer and ranked first among PC manufacturers for a long time.
However, after entering the 21st century, the situation has quietly changed. ThinkPad, Apple MacBook Air, Dell, HP , etc. have gradually won the favor of more consumers. In the past 10 years, the PC industry has been cold, and the presence of Toshiba laptops has become increasingly low.
In 2018, Toshiba learned from its mistakes and sold its PC business to Sharp for US$36 million, but retained a 19.9% stake. Subsequently, Sharp changed the Toshiba notebook to operate in the European and American markets. On June 30 this year, Sharp exercised his rights to acquire 19.9% of Toshiba's shares, and this Tuesday it will trade the shares and confirmed the news on Thursday. (Source: Kuai Technology)
Intel was hacked, and 20GB of top-secret chip engineering data was stolen
8 August 7 news, according to foreign media reports, a hacker released 20GB of top-secret chip engineering data stolen from Intel on Thursday, which may bring new "zero-day vulnerability" attack threats to users on multiple platforms.
hacker links to a post on the encrypted information platform Telegram details the stolen content and attaches a Mega file at the bottom. While these contents are harmless in themselves, they contain BIOS information and source code for Intel's proprietary technology that can be used to build malware.
, the hacker called himself "Intel Confidential Lake", claims that the data has not been published anywhere and that most of the information is protected by a strict confidentiality agreement (NDA). The data comes from anonymous sources, who hacked Intel earlier in 2020.
If a hacker finds a way to manipulate the code and install it on the target computer, the BIOS code of Kabylake and other processors can cause trouble for these users. Perhaps the most destructive is the tools and firmware of the Tiger Lake platform, which could lead to a pre-market malware flooding of the product. (Source: NetEase Technology)
Microsoft condemns Apple's app store policy: it has always treated game applications differently
According to The Verge, Microsoft is now denounced Apple's strict developer restrictions and its position on cloud game applications. iPhone manufacturers are not allowed to publish cloud game applications on the App Store because this obviously violates its guidelines. In a statement attributable to a Microsoft spokesperson, the company told The Verge, "Apple is unique as the only universal platform that rejects consumers from using cloud games and game subscription services such as Xbox Game Pass."
Apple elaborated earlier today on the controversial stance that it does not allow Microsoft's upcoming xCloud and competitive Google Stadia platform to have services such as the App Store, because the company is unable to review individual games available on the cloud platform. Some other App Store guidelines also prohibit cloud services from being present on iOS unless they are designed more like remote desktop software.
"APPLE stands on the only universal platform and refuses consumers to use cloud gaming." Microsoft said that Apple has deprived consumers of the benefits of this technology by unfairly enforcing its App Store rules. It also accuses Apple of unfairly treating gaming apps while allowing other media services to exist on the platform, even if they "contain interactive content", which sounds like a thumbs up to Netflix's interactive show that contains text-like adventure games.
