APFS

In last page, we had also listed the new feature in macOS High Sierra: APFS is an entirely revamped, modern file system that’s optimized for solid state storage. Apple adopted the hierarchical file system at the very beginning, which is what we are familiar with HFS. Subsequently, Apple introduced its own HFS+ file system, and has been in use ever since.
New Apple File System (APFS) has solved couple of problems exist in HFS and HFS+. Honestly, most users haven’t realized these problems on their computers. In order to fix the hard drive capacity problem that limit to HFS+, APFS adopts the 64-bit APFS index node, that is file ID, while HFS+ used 32-bit, so you can think this is a great process that APFS have made.

APFS can still support the local single-key and secret-key cryptography, that is to say, users can use the FielVault to encrypt or decrypt individual files and folders, and lock/unlock the entire hard drive. Spotlight search is also a little faster than beforedue to the search itself and the capacity of the hard disk. for most users, in a word, what APFS can bring is absolutely obvious: it makes you hard drive run faster and safer than before.

New Video Standard

Frequency compression rate can be improved as high as 40%. While maintain the same video quality, video streaming is better, and storage space occupied by 2 on Mac in the usage of HEVC.

Metal 2

Metal 2 has certainly opened the door of games creation, machine learning and virtual reality content creation. The incoming Metal 2 update brings new capabilities in machine learning, virtual reality and external GPU support. No matter you areplaying games, creating or developing software, Metal 2 can provide powerful strength to help you realize your imagination.

In case you haven’t heard, there was a major ransomware attack on Friday whose effects were felt across the globe in 150 countries by 200,000 victims.

Earlier at the middle of May, a ransomware called Wannacry attacked the Windows operating system on the Internet. Ransomware use the advantage Windows SMB to launch an attack to all Windows who don’t have fixed the path of MS17-010, it would carry through osmotic transmission to the terminal user, and blackmail them with Bitcoin or other valuable things.

Instead of being worried and afraid like Windows users, on the other hand, users of Mac are such grateful that their devices are not under attack, but that doesn’t mean Mac users can rest assured easily.

According to CNBC, security risk management expert Aleksandr Yampolskiy said, Mac is also fragile and easily to be victim of this sort of ransomware in fact, it is totally wrong that those who thought Wannacry is no matter to launch attack for Mac.

Yampolskiy is the creator of SecurityScorecard, and also its CEO, he said，“This attack is only aim the targets as Windows users, Apple devices is possible losing battle under this type of cyberattack anyway”

No response has been made to the issue by Apple since the report of CNBC yet.

Yampolskiy also stressed, even if the users store their information and data to iCloud, the security itself won’t be able to improve to higher level.

“If you put the information and data to iCloud, you actually fully depend on third parties and service providers to offer protection, that is to say, once they are attacked, you are in trouble inevitably”

If it is needed to use Windows programs directly on macOS, which we need to install a virtual machine software, for example, Parallels Desktop. But there are also people who believe that for new users, it may cause problems and make them confused, because when they see. Exe icon they may think that these files can run by double-clicked.
