Editorial | Hong Kong must urgently tackle its elderly isol…
Tragedies involving vulnerable elderly people continue to make headlines in Hong Kong. Sadly, in a rapidly ageing society where many live alone or with an elderly partner, this seems unlikely to change any time soon. There is an urgent need to close gaps in support services. The authorities have initiated several measures, including a plan to import trained domestic carers, but that is only a start on addressing a growing problem. About a week ago, a man, 72, and his 69-year-old partner died in...

Firefighters battled on Saturday to put out flames that tore through Adolf Hitler’s “Eagle’s Nest” mountain retreat while police detained a suspect who investigators said may have psychiatric problems. The alarm was raised late on Friday at the former guest house for top Nazi officials, 1,834 metres (6,000 feet) high in the Bavarian Alps. As snow fell on the Alpine peak, the Eagle’s Nest was still engulfed in flames at dawn on Saturday, and fire chief Michael Brandl told a press conference the...

In besieged Yemeni city, drinking water supplies hit crisis…
Drinking water has been scarce for over a decade in Taiz, but the problem has reached crisis levels in recent weeks as Iran-backed Houthi rebels besiege Yemen’s third-largest city in their escalating conflict with government forces. The needs of Taiz’s more than 1 million residents are now barely being met, humanitarian groups say, as access to wells is limited, desalination plants run low on fuel and water delivery trucks are largely prevented from entering the city. Families are rationing...

From ageing fleets and drivers to the likes of Uber making inroads, taxi services around the world face an array of challenges. In Hong Kong, drivers complain about unfair competition and regulatory reform pressure. At the same time, they continue to be the target of complaints in relation to refusing rides, rude service, overcharging and taking circuitous routes. In response, the government has taken steps to regulate ride-hailing platforms and introduce premium taxi fleets to enhance service...

In author and computer engineer Liu Cixin’s science fiction hit The Three-Body Problem, three suns throw a doomed world into chaos. Chinese astronomers say they have found a real three-star system that is far better behaved. Using FAST, the world’s biggest single-dish radio telescope in southwestern China, the researchers found two dead stars and a “living” one locked in a steady cosmic dance about 7,000 light years from Earth. One of the dead stars is a pulsar that spins more than 300 times a...

Does Singapore’s tougher stance on haze mark an inflection…
Singapore has warned it will go after companies responsible for the forest fires in Indonesia causing the regional haze, but cross-border challenges remain stumbling blocks to solving a problem that has plagued the city state for decades. Analysts point to long-standing obstacles hampering the country’s decade-old haze legislation, such as complex corporate ownership and opaque transboundary supply chains. To date, no company has been prosecuted under the law. Beyond legal threats, greater...

蘋果Arcade邁向七週年 遊戲策略穩健不變、擁抱獨立開發者
圖／本報資料庫商傳媒｜方承業／綜合外電報導蘋果（Apple）旗下遊戲訂閱服務 Apple Arcade 推出至今已七年，在全球遊戲市場瞬息萬變下，蘋果在遊戲領域的佈局與策略始終如一。面對行動遊戲訂閱服務曾面臨的質疑，以及 Google Stadia 等平台失敗的案例，Apple Arcade 不僅持續運作，更展現多元化的發展路徑，顯示蘋果長期耕耘遊戲版圖的決心。 《LavX News》報導指出，蘋果本週舉辦「獨立遊戲週」（Indie Games Week）活動，將《Vampire Crawlers》、《Sifu》與《小貓咪大城市》（Little Kitty, Big City）等七款遊戲帶到 iOS 平台，並發表了《無人深空》（No Man's Sky）的行動版本。蘋果商城（App Store）全球新任負責人卡森·奧利弗（Carson Oliver）指出，從蘋果商城創立之初，其宗旨就是提供公平的探索與發行平台，讓獨立遊戲能與頂級娛樂作品並駕齊驅。他強調，蘋果的策略始終如一：遊戲一直是蘋果商城的核心，公司會因應玩家習慣與科技進展而調整策略。 奧利弗表示，蘋果不只是提供發行管道，更大力投資於遊戲領域，從硬體支援到開發工具皆然。這包括 iPhone 18 Pro 的硬體加速光線追蹤、A20 Pro 晶片與新一代均熱板技術，以及 Game Porting Toolkit 4、Metal 與開源 Unity 外掛程式等開發者工具。這些技術，如 Game Porting Toolkit 4、MetalFX 與相關 Unity 外掛，大幅降低開發者將 PC 與家用主機遊戲移植到蘋果裝置所需的時間、精力與成本。此外，蘋果也透過全球編輯團隊的人工策展與「Creative Assets」功能，協助獨立遊戲開發者提升曝光度。 行動遊戲市場展現強勁成長力道，據《GamesIndustry.biz》去年七月報導，2025 年高階付費手機遊戲銷售額成長了 77%。奧利弗提到，今年有更多優質遊戲在蘋果商城上架，其中包含許多獨立遊戲，而越來越多家用主機與 PC 遊戲也轉戰行動平台以觸及更廣大受眾。目前玩家偏好的遊戲類型包括「溫馨舒適」類遊戲（cozy games）、管理模擬遊戲，以及 Roguelike 類遊戲，例如《Balatro》、《星露谷物語》（Stardew Valley）、《殺戮尖塔》（Slay the Spire）與《氣球塔防6》（Bloons TD 6）都在行動平台上取得成功。這也顯示蘋果的全球遊戲佈局除了訂閱服務，也包含高階付費遊戲市場。 儘管發展穩健，蘋果在遊戲領域仍面臨挑戰。有報導指出，由於銷量不佳，Apple Vision Pro 的產量已遭削減，這讓蘋果在混合實境遊戲的投資前景充滿不確定性。同時，部分大型遊戲發行商，如卡普空（Capcom）和育碧（Ubisoft），在 2026 年對蘋果遊戲平台的支援力道不如 2023 年強勁。對此，奧利弗表示，蘋果提供多元的商業模式，讓開發者能選擇高價付費下載或是加入 Apple Arcade 訂閱服務。他強調，重要的是讓開發者有靈活性，依遊戲選擇最適合的營運模式，並讓玩家自由選擇遊玩方式。 整體而言，蘋果的遊戲策略核心在於其平台，透過精選內容、提供完善的開發者工具，以及持續提升硬體性能來驅動其發展。即使市場變化快速，蘋果仍致力於為開發者打造一個值得信賴的平台，同時為玩家帶來多元且高品質的遊戲體驗。 參考來源 Is the food industry’s innovation problem actually a talent…（Digital Journal） How the Animal Protein industry can turn sustainability chal…（Food & Agribusiness） FAO representative highlights livestock sector’s role in foo…（Tehran Times） Apple's gaming push holds firm seven years after Arcade laun…（LavX News） New AI Model Predicts Maize Yield Across Regions（Bioengineer.org） Lawrence Ho’s Black Spade brings “Squid Game: The Experience…（IAG） ‘Enterprises should own their data, avoid solutions dependen…（Deccan Herald）

David Toutain witnessed the birth of the Michelin Green Star in 2020. His eponymous restaurant in Paris was among the first to be awarded while Feuille, his Hong Kong outpost, secured one within a year of its 2023 opening. But even when Michelin quietly retired the award this year, he still never understood exactly how it was assessed. “I have no idea,” he says. “I don’t know the rules. I don’t know anything about it, to be very honest.” His confusion points to a larger problem. The Green Star...
Opinion | China’s ‘golden week’ holidays come at a cost
For iPhone users in China, the calendar has long presented a small but recurring problem. On a Sunday designated as a make-up workday, an alarm might remain silent. On a regular Friday converted into a day off, it might ring anyway. Nearly 17 years after entering the Chinese market, Apple quietly updated its operating system in September to automatically recognise China’s official schedule of adjusted holidays and workdays. The fix is modest, but it points to a larger question: what happens when...

OpenAI recently announced perhaps its biggest mathematics breakthrough yet: it released novel results on 377 high-profile open problems. Artificial intelligence (AI) casually solved these decades-old problems as a mere by-product of training. The community of mathematicians did not universally welcome this development, with University of Connecticut professor Alvaro Lozano-Robledo commenting: “I am not sure at this point what this (hostile?) takeover of the mathematical landscape is trying to...

為何手機不連最近 Mesh 節點？揭秘設備 Wi-Fi 連線「粘滯問題」
圖／本報資料庫商傳媒｜何映辰／台北報導Mesh Wi-Fi 網路因其廣闊的覆蓋範圍，已成為許多家庭改善無線網路的選擇。然而，不少使用者發現，即使家中設置了多個 Mesh 網路的訊號節點，手機或筆記型電腦等裝置卻常常固執地連接到遠處、訊號較弱的節點，導致連線品質不佳。這項被稱為「粘滯客戶端問題」（sticky client problem）的現象，其實並非 Mesh 網路本身的問題，而是裝置的預設行為所致。 專家指出，當裝置連接到 Wi-Fi 網路時，是由裝置本身來決定要連接哪一個訊號節點，而非 Mesh 路由器。裝置製造商在設計時，為了維持連線穩定性，通常會優先考慮「持續連接」而非「最佳訊號品質」。例如，蘋果（Apple）的 iPhone 和 iPad 必須等到 Wi-Fi 訊號強度降至 -70dBm（數位訊號強度單位，數值越低代表訊號越差）時，才會開始搜尋並切換到另一個更好的訊號節點；而其 Mac 電腦更是要等到 -75dBm 才啟動搜尋。即使有新的節點訊號強度明顯較佳，裝置也需要新的節點訊號至少強 8dB 至 12dB，才會進行切換。 為了解決這個問題，部分 Mesh Wi-Fi 系統導入了「快速漫遊」（fast roaming）技術，讓裝置在不同的無線基地台之間快速切換，以保持最佳訊號。這項技術通常包含了三個 Wi-Fi 標準： 802.11k ：協助裝置找到附近所有訊號節點及其可用的頻道。 802.11v ：允許 Mesh 網路主動向裝置發送訊號，建議其移動到另一個較佳的節點。 802.11r ：減少裝置在切換無線基地台時所需的時間，確保無縫轉換。 許多主流 Mesh 網路產品也提供了相關功能。例如，TP-Link Deco 的「Fast Roaming」選項可啟用 802.11r 標準，而其「Mesh Technology」則處理 802.11k 和 802.11v 標準。eero 的「Client steering」功能則會引導裝置靠近最近的 eero 節點。華碩（ASUS）的「Roaming Assistant」則能設定閾值，自動斷開訊號低於特定 dBm 的裝置，鼓勵其重新連接。 此外，針對個人電腦，英特爾（Intel）Wi-Fi 網卡也提供了「Roaming Aggressiveness」（漫遊積極性）設定，使用者可自行調整從「最低」到「最高」的範圍，以控制裝置搜尋新節點的頻率。不過，過高的漫遊積極性可能導致筆記型電腦電池耗電更快。 當使用者調整了這些快速漫遊設定後，別忘了在手機或筆記型電腦上關閉 Wi-Fi 再重新開啟，才能讓新的設定生效。理解裝置的連線行為，並善用 Mesh 網路的功能設定，將能有效改善家中的無線網路體驗。
