No novo episódio do Podcast Canaltech, Fred Amaral, especialista em infraestrutura de pagamentos e empreendedor do setor financeiro, CEO da Lerian, explica por que o Pix entrou no radar das autoridades norte-americanas. Embora o nome do sistema brasileiro não apareça diretamente no documento oficial, as críticas sobre "práticas comerciais desleais" miram claramente o impacto do Pix na competitividade global. Durante a conversa, Fred também relembra o caso da suspensão do WhatsApp Pay no Brasil e discute como a decisão do Banco Central influenciou o mercado de pagamentos. Ele destaca os motivos que tornaram o Pix uma revolução financeira, tanto para pessoas físicas quanto para empresas e compara a atuação do regulador brasileiro com a de outros países, como os Estados Unidos e a Índia.

Michael Potter is the Executive Producer of For Mac Eyes Only, and the organizer of the annual Macstock Conference and Expo. Mike's love-affair for all things Apple began in his Junior High's Library playing Lemonade Stand on a pair of brand new Apple ][+ computers. His penchant for Apple gear continued to be nurtured by the public school system when, in High School, he was hired as a lab supervisor to help run the Apple ][e lab for his fellow students and their Print Shop needs. Then, further still, in college he often opted to help a friend with her Computer Graphics coursework instead of focusing on his own studies, but only because it helped get him closer to the Mac-lab. Jim Rea built his own computer from scratch in 1975, started programming in 1977, and has been an independent Mac developer continuously since 1984. He is the founder of ProVUE Development, and the author of Panorama X, ProVUE's ultra fast RAM based database software for the macOS platform. He's been a speaker at MacTech, MacWorld Expo and other industry conferences. Follow Jim at provue.com and via @provuejim@techhub.social on Mastodon.

My guest today is Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas, who is betting that the browser is where more useful AI will get built. Perplexity just released Comet, an AI web browser for the Mac and Windows that's still in an invite-only beta. I've been using it, and it's very interesting. In this conversation, Aravind and I also discussed the future of Perplexity, the AI talent wars, and why he thinks people will eventually pay thousands of dollars for a single AI prompt.

What does it mean to be a Mac Admin in the year of jobs 2025? Long gone are the days of having to explain that no, that isn't something that macs can integrate with. Instead we have all had to become experts in so many different silos within the modern IT organisation, from Identity, Security, Networking and Certificates. Being able to embrace and understand these concepts has also led to opportunities in career growth. Gone are the days where hoping for a small windowless room and the opportunity to get some new hardware to test once in a while was seen as a good deal. The growth of macOS in the enterprise has meant that our skills are incredibly attractive to large organisations, especially if we are able to combine technical prowess with the negotiation and collaboration required to drag Windows-centric teams towards the path of righteousness when it comes to a cross-platform or employee choice environment Hosts: Tom Bridge - @tbridge@theinternet.social Marcus Ransom - @marcusransom Guests: Tony Young - LinkedIn Links: Tony's Career Audit Career Audit Template Kane Narraway What is Client Platform Engineering Sponsors: Kandji Kolide Alectrona Watchman Monitoring If you're interested in sponsoring the Mac Admins Podcast, please email podcast@macadmins.org for more information.

In Episode 181 of The Citrix Session, hosts Bill Sutton and Todd Smith dive into the key takeaways from the blog “What's New and Next with Citrix: Q&A from our May 2025 Webinar.” From release cadence updates and licensing clarity to enhanced integration with Windows 365 and Nutanix, this episode is packed with forward-looking insights for Citrix admins and tech leaders.
In this episode, we highlight the newest features and enhancements in JAWS, ZoomText, and Fusion A key update across all three products is support for time-based Software Maintenance Agreements (SMAs), which let users run any version of the software released within their SMA period—offering more flexibility for perpetual license holders. For JAWS and Fusion users, a brand-new Label Manager simplifies managing custom labels for inaccessible web elements. The AI Labeler also gets smarter—suggesting and saving updated labels automatically. Spanish-speaking users benefit from MathCAT, now the default math interaction tool, offering better speech and Braille support for math content. Fusion's Live Text View now supports Navigation Quick Keys, enabling faster navigation through web pages, documents, PDFs, and emails.
