lswcapMicrosoft has announced Windows 365, which provides the Windows 10 and future Windows 11 environment as a cloud service.
Windows 365 can use Windows 10 running on the server on the terminal in hand. Supported terminals include not only PC, Mac, and Linux, but also tablets and smartphones such as iPad and Android. The advantage of virtualizing Windows 10 is that it increases operational flexibility. For example, it is possible to continue the work that was done in Windows 10 from Windows 365 on a work device on a tablet at home. Windows 365 service is scheduled to start on August 2nd.

As many people switch from cash to digital payments due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the digital euro is expected to play a role in storing cash, and preliminary investigations and experiments are already underway. The goal of the survey is to prepare for the development of a digital euro, which may take three years following the two-year investigation.
The Chinese government has issued a new rule requiring tech companies with more than 1 million user data to go public outside of China subject to government security review prior to listing.
On June 30, Didi Chuxing, a Chinese car dispatch service, went public on the US stock exchange. However, the Chinese Cyberspace Administration stopped registering new users with the Didi Chuxing app and ordered the app to be removed from the Chinese App Store, stating that the Didi Chuxing app inappropriately collects and uses user information is in violation of the law.
In response, the Chinese government explained that it was to protect national security and public interest against data security risks, and announced that it would tighten regulations on Chinese company IPOs to prevent a situation like Didi Chuxing from occurring. It’s announcing a new rule requiring tech companies with more than one million user data to undergo a government-led cybersecurity review prior to listing abroad.
One analyst pointed out that the threshold of one million user data is quite low and will basically apply to most Internet companies targeting IPOs, and that almost all Internet companies aiming to go public will be subject to the new rules.
Virgin Galactic made its first space flight on July 11, with Virgin Group President Sir Richard Branson aboard. But Blue Origin, led by Amazon co-founder Jeff Bezos, appears to be unhappy with this space travel.
According to Blue Origin, a space flight using the Spaceship Two on which Sir Branson was boarded should not be said to have been to space. As a basis, we presented a performance comparison of SpaceShip Two and its own space rocket, New Shepard, and emphasized that the Virgin Aircraft does not reach the Karman Line, which is 100 km above sea level.
Meanwhile, in 2018, Dr. Jonathan McDowell at the Harvard Smithsonian Astrophysics Center calculated the minimum altitude at which an elliptical satellite can maintain its orbit is around 80 km in his thesis, based on a number of performance data. It also shows the possibility of reviewing from 100km to 80km.
