Google accuses Microsoft of anti-competition, giant cloud hegemony escalates
American technology giants are facing fierce competition in the cloud service market. On June 21, in a letter to the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Google accused Microsoft of using unfair license terms to "lock customers" in order to monopolize and control the cloud computing market, and said that Microsoft's influence may bring network security risks. So far Microsoft has not responded to this. Google has frequently publicly accused Microsoft of being anti-competitive recently. In March, Google Cloud publicly criticized Microsoft's agreements with several European cloud service providers, saying the deals failed to address widespread concerns about its licensing terms and urging EU antitrust regulators to investigate more carefully.

Apple plans to replace A17 chip technology to cut costs
According to MacRumors, Apple's iPhone 15Pro and 15ProMax to be launched in 2023 will use the A17Bionic chip, which is different from the A17 version produced in 2024: the former uses TSMC's N3B process, while the latter will be replaced by an enhanced version of the N3E process. Cost, N3E has fewer EUV layers and lower transistor density than N3B. At the same time, N3B has a longer time to prepare for mass production than N3E, and the yield rate is much lower.
Apple machine learning key figure leaves
Ali Farhadi, Apple's key figure in machine learning, has announced his departure to become CEO of the Allen Institute of Artificial Intelligence (AI2). Ali Farhadi founded the Xnor.ai startup before joining Apple, which was acquired by Apple for $200 million in 2020, and then joined Apple to work on machine learning research. Xnor.ai was originally spun out of AI2's startup incubator before being acquired by Apple in 2020, so Ali Farhadi can be said to be returning this time. (IT House)

Red Hat limits RHEL source code availability
Red Hat announced that its enterprise distribution RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) related source code is only open through CentOS Stream. Paying customers and partners will still have access to the source code through the Red Hat Customer Portal. Limiting RHEL source availability will make it more difficult for community distributions such as Alma Linux and Rocky Linux, as well as Oracle's enterprise distribution Oracle Linux, to provide 1:1 binary compatible builds. CentOS Stream is a rolling update distribution that is upstream of RHEL. The CentOS project stopped offering traditional RHEL-based community distributions in 2020, after which Alma Linux and Rocky Linux emerged to fill the void left by the original CentOS. (Solidot)
