Synology unveils DSM roadmap and APM 2.0 with private AI, says data control is key
Synology on Tuesday unveiled its next-generation DiskStation Manager (DSM) roadmap and ActiveProtect Manager (APM) 2.0 at a Computex 2026 press briefing. Chief Executive Philip Wong said the key issue is data control, and that the next DSM will provide an AI-ready platform allowing organisations to keep control of their own data. DSM adds internal, on-premise AI functions, while APM 2.0 shifts data protection toward pre-incident detection and expands coverage to major cloud and virtualisation environments.

Charles Hoskinson says quantum computers likely to be commercialised before 2033, need to prepare now
Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano (ADA), warned there is more than a 50 percent chance quantum computers will pose a practical threat to cryptocurrencies before 2033. He said the risk should be treated as a near-term technical deadline. Cardano is pushing a shift to lattice-based cryptography and plans to reflect U.S. NIST post-quantum standards, including FIPS 203 to 205. Similar preparations are under way at Solana.

Four ways Bitcoin can survive a quantum threat
Discussion is gaining pace on network-level defence upgrades after concerns were raised that quantum computers could undermine Bitcoin\'s core cryptography. CoinDesk reported that Google research said a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could crack Bitcoin\'s ECDSA in under 9 minutes, faster than the average 10-minute block time. While such machines do not exist yet, some analysts see a possible turning point around 2029. Proposals include keeping public keys off-chain, shifting to quantum-resistant signatures, reducing mempool exposure, and limiting rapid outflows from already exposed funds.
