Can Macs Get Viruses in 2025? Do You Need an Antivirus for Your Mac?

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-12-27 04:00:00

Remember those old I’m a Mac, I’m a PC ads? In one, the Mac looks on, concerned, while the PC keeps sneezing from a virus it's caught, eventually crashing backward onto the ground. For a while, Macs did seem mostly immune to computer viruses. But when Apple’s market share ballooned, with it came a new fan club: hackers. Yes, MacOS comes with XProtect, Gatekeeper and other tools, and most Mac owners get by just fine with these plus a dash of skepticism. Still, security firms keep spotting fresh

New ‘Project Hail Mary’ Footage, and Ryan Gosling, Wowed Comic-Con

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-12-27 06:45:35

A few short weeks ago, directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller graced us with an extended first look at their upcoming sci-fi adaptation, Project Hail Mary. The three-minute trailer for a movie not coming out for nine months displayed supreme confidence in the project, and after watching it, you could see why. So to then bring the film to Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, along with its iconic star Ryan Gosling, felt almost like too much. We already have this glorious trailer. What more could we see?

Echelon kills smart home gym equipment offline capabilities with update

A firmware update has killed key functionality for Echelon smart home gym equipment that isn't connected to the Internet. As explained in a Tuesday blog post by Roberto Viola, who develops the "QZ (qdomyos-zwift)" app that connects Echelon machines to third-party fitness platforms, like Peloton, Strava, and Apple HealthKit, the firmware update forces Echelon machines to connect to Echelon’s servers in order to work properly.

A lot has been said about iPadOS 26 bringing many powerful Mac-like features to the iPad. While that’s true, the exchange is also mutual. Apple has several iPad-inspired changes coming to the Mac in macOS Tahoe. Here’s what’s new. macOS Tahoe comes with several iPadOS-inspired changes Mac users may not love the sound of macOS Tahoe borrowing features from the iPad.

Your MacBook is getting a major upgrade for free - 5 MacOS 26 features I'm trying right now

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Last month, Apple announced its latest update for MacOS 26, codenamed "Tahoe." It's full of new visual design elements like Apple's Liquid Glass design theme, better integration with the iPhone, and a more robust Spotlight feature that's better integrated with Shortcuts. In fact, the theme of all of Apple's updates this year is streamlining both the visual UI and feature sets across Apple devices, while making more apps and features available on them, punctuated by Apple Intell

The best all-in-one computers of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

All-in-one (AIO) computers combine performance and speed in a space-saving design, integrating components into a single monitor. These machines are ideal for households wanting a clean setup without sacrificing basic functionality. The best laptop can offer a similar experience, but I still recommend AIOs for their larger screens and often powerful audio systems. However, AIO computers typically offer more modest hardware than traditional computers. These devices have limited upgrade options, r

While macOS Tahoe 26 shares redesign polish with iOS and iPadOS, its best new features double down on what makes the Mac the Mac.

Apple’s New Game Overlay in macOS 26 Could be So Much More

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-12-30 18:30:17

Gaming on Mac has come a long way, but if people are going to take it seriously—like, really seriously—Apple still has some work to do. The new public beta for macOS 26 and its gaming updates won’t convince the naysayers, but I see it as the tipping point, and all Apple needs to do is relax for once and let the players take control. For macOS 26, Apple added a new Game Overlay and Games app. The former acts as an easy way to adjust brightness, volume, or call friends while in-game. It also has

Cyberpunk 2077 strode like a solo cyberninja onto MacBooks with the kind of swaggering bravado you’d expect from a chromed-up Night City merc. Knowing you can run CD Projekt Red’s graphically intense game, even if not at the peak ultra settings, is a mark of how well the device plays AAA titles.
