1, Guo Ming: Apple's car team has been disbanded.

According to Guo Ming Ti, an analyst at Tianfeng International, on Twitter, Apple's car team has been disbanded for some time. If you want to mass-produce Apple Car in 2025, you need to reorganize the team within 3~6 months. It is understood that since the approval of the 20 14 project, Apple's electric vehicle plan has experienced several twists and turns, including several leadership changes. 202 1, 1 1, Bloomberg reported in Mark Gurman that Apple is speeding up the work of this project, with the goal of fully self-driving electric vehicles. Gourmain said that Apple's goal is to release in 2025, but due to development challenges, the time may be delayed.

2. Chinese Academy of Sciences: develop electrochemical biosensors to realize anti-interference and high-sensitivity detection of organophosphorus pesticides.

Recently, researchers Lu Xianbo and Chen Jiping from the Eco-environmental Evaluation and Analysis Research Group of Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences have made progress in the research of electrochemical biosensors. Ultrathin graphdiyne (Cu@GDY) loaded with copper quantum dots has been used to achieve anti-interference and high-sensitivity detection of organophosphorus pesticides. Electrochemical biosensor based on acetylcholinesterase inhibition principle is an ideal tool to detect organophosphorus, but the interference of electroactive substances in crops and environmental samples cannot be avoided because of the low electrochemical activity of enzymatic products. In addition, common electroactive compounds (vitamins, phenol, aniline, etc. ) will not interfere with the determination of organophosphorus in the sensor, which provides a tool for the detection of actual samples.

3. In 2022, the global microprocessor market is expected to reach 1 104 billion USD.

IC Insights is now releasing the latest research report. Analysts believe that in 20021year, the microprocessor (MPU) will increase by 14% after the increase of 16% in 2020, reaching 1029 billion USD. Analysts predict that in 2022, the global total sales of microprocessors will increase by 7%, the MPU market will reach a new high of1104 billion dollars, and the processor shipments will increase by 6% to 2.6 billion units. The growth of the microprocessor market is mainly due to the upgrade of users' smartphones, which support new 5G networks, stronger cameras and artificial intelligence. For example, the sales of mobile phone processors with machine learning function increased by 365,438+0%.

4. Foxconn: It wants to build a $9 billion semiconductor foundry in Saudi Arabia to produce microchips.

On March 15, Beijing time, people familiar with the matter said that Foxconn is negotiating with Saudi Arabia to jointly build a factory with a cost of 9 billion US dollars, which will produce microchips, electric vehicle parts and other electronic products. According to informed sources, Saudi Arabia is evaluating Foxconn's proposal to build a two-wire semiconductor foundry in Neom. The new future city is a city-state that rises in the desert and is dominated by science and technology. In addition to Saudi Arabia, Foxconn is still negotiating with the United Arab Emirates on the potential location of the factory. Foxconn and Saudi Arabia have not commented. At present, Foxconn, TSMC and other companies in Taiwan Province Province of China are seeking to diversify their production to avoid external environmental risks.

5. Rome plans to invest RMB 6,543.8+0.4 billion to expand the production of automotive semiconductor devices.

Romm, a semiconductor manufacturer, announced the expansion of its production capacity in Kelantan, Malaysia, with a total investment of about 965.438 billion ringgit, or about 654.38 billion RMB. This factory mainly produces analog semiconductor devices. It is estimated that the project will start in Q 1 in 2022 and be completed in August 2023. After commissioning, the total production capacity increased by about 1.5 times, which was mainly used to meet the needs of automotive semiconductors such as gate drivers.

6. Intel announced that it will spend more than 33 billion euros to invest in European Union semiconductors.

Recently, Intel announced the first-phase plan to invest 80 billion euros in the whole-chip semiconductor industry in the EU in the next decade. The first-phase investment in France, Germany, Ireland, Italy and other EU regions totaled more than 33 billion euros, which was used for semiconductor R&D and manufacturing. Among them, Intel will invest 654.38+07 billion euros to establish a large-scale semiconductor material production and application research and development center in Germany, and build two new Intel semiconductor factories to deliver the most advanced chips. It is expected to start construction in the first half of 2023 and put into production by the end of 2027; Intel will also establish a new R&D and design center in France, and reinvest in R&D, manufacturing and wafer foundry services in Ireland, Italy, Poland and Spain to promote the world-class semiconductor ecology in Europe and significantly improve its manufacturing capacity in the EU.

7. CCTV "3 15" party: low-priced children's smart watches become walking voyeurs.

According to CCTV's financial report, low-priced children's smart watches can be used as walking peeping tom. 3 15 Information Security Lab launched a special test. Engineers will launch a children's smart watch with a sales record of 654.38 million. At the same time, malicious programs are stationed in the smart watch, which realizes the remote control of the watch, and can also hear the chat content between children and their families in real time and see the children doing manual work in front of the desk after school. Testers found that the root cause was that its operating system was too old. In order to reduce the cost, manufacturers choose a lower version of the operating system, which means that after installing various apps on such children's watches, they can open a variety of sensitive permissions without user authorization, and easily obtain children's location, face images, recordings and other private information. The safety risks of children can be imagined.

8. CCTV 3 15 party: Free WiFi hidden vulnerabilities were exposed.

According to CCTV Financial Report, 3 15 Information Security Lab conducted a special test on "free WiFi connection". Testers tried all the listed WiFi resources, and none of them could be connected, but two unfamiliar applications were automatically downloaded to the mobile phone. Testers found that the pop-up windows with the words "confirm" and "open" clicked when connecting were all disguised advertising links. Once the user is induced to click, the application in the advertisement link will be automatically installed in the mobile phone without any prompt. Finally, the free WiFi that users want is useless, but there are a bunch of inexplicable applications in the mobile phone. Further tests by engineers found that such free WiFi applications also collected a large amount of user information in the background. For example, an application called "Radar WiFi" collects and tests the location information of mobile phones as many as 67,899 times a day.

9.Meta was fined 65.438+0.2 billion yuan by the European Union for large-scale data leakage.

According to Phoenix Technology, Meta, the parent company of Facebook, was fined 654.38+07 million euros (about 654.38+09 million US dollars) by the European Union because it failed to prevent a series of data leakage incidents on the Facebook platform in 2065.438+08, which violated the privacy rules of the European Union. According to the Irish Data Protection Commission (Meta's main privacy watchdog in the EU), they found that Facebook "failed to take appropriate technical and organizational measures".
