He explained the policy as part of the Retail Digitalisation Initiative (ReDI) framework that is being executed in two phases – the first phase involving Putrajaya and the second phase going nationwide in May. A ministry survey found the level of e-wallet acceptance at 50% among traders at farmers’ and public markets in Putrajaya, Rosol noted. Officials believe that with the “‘onboarding’ efforts”, that figure should top 90% by year-end....

According to Videocardz, there is a massive glut of GPUs from both team NVIDIA and team AMD within the country, and that is simply because gamers just aren’t biting. There are obviously a multitude of reasons behind the burgeoning GPU supply, one of which is due to the wariness of Chinese consumers and second hand cards that were most likely used for mining. We’ve covered this in a previous article, back when the prices of GPUs were skyrocketing and the value of the Bitcoin was also soaring....

The company stated that it will be working with authorities in order to thwart any form of illegal activity done on the platform, while at the same time ensuring the safety of their ecosystem, partners and users during the MCO period. GrabExpress customers will need to adhere to the verification via selfie requirement when placing a delivery request via the app. This safety measure will help the company to trace back the users who are responsible for the transportation of illegal items, as well as to discourage these individuals from committing these crimes....

The idea behind this is using the GPU-generated radio frequencies when it’s working at different clock rates. Potential hackers can gain control of this from the graphics card settings. In this case, from the Radeon Pro power controls. The resulting radio waves can be picked up through a wall, and up to about 15m away. Get your Van Eck fill and learn how to find these and other RF side-channels from myself and @baron of @duo_labs!...

For 2021, the new version of the operating system is called Android 12 and features a brand-new user interface called Material You alongside a deeper emphasis on privacy and security. If you are feeling adventurous, you can actually download the Beta 1 version of the operating system right away. However, the Android 12 Beta releases are only available to certain devices that have been deemed eligible by Google. Naturally, the company’s own Pixel phones are part of the list that covers the 2018’s Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL up to last year’s Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G, and Pixel 5....

The official Nokia Mobile Twitter account posted an image of a series of phones released by HMD Global, and at the end lies a large box. Notably, it’s a lot larger than the other phones in the picture, and just larger than you’d expect a phone’s packaging to be in general. — Nokia Mobile (@NokiaMobile) September 20, 2021 According to PhoneArena, this tablet will be dubbed the Nokia T20. And the tablet will also come at a price point of below US$200 (RM839)....

According to TorrentFreak, the blog that follows the trends for BitTorrent, Home Alone was the most pirated and downloaded Christmas movie this year, followed by its sequel, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. The two movies beat out The Grinch, Elf, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas, but for the record, they were the top five movies torrented. For those of you who have been living under a rock and don’t know what Home Alone is, here’s a quick synopsis: the movie was first released in theatres in 1990....

The study revealed that neither the Sinovac nor the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines generate enough neutralising antibodies to fight Omicron with only two doses, although Pfizer has already revealed that a booster of its mRNA vaccine induces enough antibodies to fend off against the new variant. The Hong Kong research found that giving Sinovac recipients the German jab achieves the same effect, whereas Sinovac boosters failed to do so. Sinovac’s CoronaVac is one of the most-used vaccines in China and in developing countries, with more than 2....

According to industry sources, the HONOR 9X will surprisingly be coming to Malaysia, complete with all the trimmings that are part and parcel with GMS. As to how this is possible, the source told us that one reason is due to the chipset in the phone, which is a Kirin 710 SoC. Beyond, the source failed to provide a full explanation for this unique loophole. Luckily, as per the explanation of German-based leakster, Roland Quandt (@rquandt), this is due to two possible reason....

Lucky for me, I actually managed to spend some time with the upcoming smartphone. The first thing about the Honor View20 that catches my attention is, believe it or not, the feel and weight of the phone. Despite its size, the phone feels solid, and I have no trouble gripping it firmly. And that’s despite its glossy, all-glass back. Speaking of which, the View20’s back actually houses an interesting design....

The report comes courtesy of Bloomberg, which says that Horizon Forbidden West will instead be coming in the first quarter of 2022. As you’d expect, the possible delay is attributed to the production challenges brought about by COVID-19 and the various lockdown measures to slow down its spread. This new report corroborates a previous claim by GamesBeat reporter Jeff Grubb, who mentioned the possible delay on his Giant Bomb show....

The FullView display of the Y7 Pro 2019 measures in at 6.26-inches, and has a screen-to-body ratio of 86.7%. It’s also a notched display, and features a dewdrop notch on the phone’s top bezel. Under the hood, the Y7 Pro 2019 is rocking a Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 SoC running at a clockspeed of 1.8GHz, 3GB RAM, and the Adreno 506 for its GPU. The phone also comes with 32GB of expandable storage (up to 512GB via the microSD slot)....

Powered by Kirin 659 processor, the MediaPad m5 Lite is also equipped with a 10.1-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200) IPS display. The tablet is also able to support Huawei M Pen stylus which offers 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity. In addition to that, the MediaPad M5 Lite also features an enhanced eye-comfort mode which is designed to make the tablet more suitable for children. Under this mode, the amount of blue light from the tablet would be toned down and it would also provide a warning when the tablet is too close to one’s face or if it is being used while laying down....

The MatePad Pro 11 features a smaller 11-inch 120Hz OLED display with a resolution of 2560×1600 and a sub-1 Delta E’s colour accuracy rating, capable of producing 1.07 billion colours. The tablet is only 5.9mm thick and weighs 449g, which made Huawei bold enough to claim it as the lightest 11-inch tablet around. Under the hood, the MatePad Pro 11 runs on either a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 or a Snapdragon 870 with either 128GB or 256GB of storage — the exact configuration will vary by region....

Before you get too excited, no this is not going in the direction of AR or anything like that. Like the previous iteration, the Eyewear II is a pair of headphones in the form of eyewear. That being said, there’s still a number of improvements over the previous iteration. The speakers built into the Huawei X Gentle Monster Eyewear II have been improved overall. Their new design gives them a wider range, and the leakage hole design, as the company calls it, reduces sound leakage by 12dB....

To that end, there are a handful of questions that we’re dying to ask, chief among which being: despite a change in ownership, has HP managed to retain the same standard with the Cloud Core Wireless, or is it a completely different animal? What Is It? Much like the Cloud II Wireless, the Core Wireless keeps both the gaming headphone lineup and its design aesthetic alive, with its simplistic all-black look with the signature red accents....

Oh yeah. Real, this is. Look, this is serious. Now is the time to really think about social distancing, washing your hands. Beyond that, there are people out there who aren’t showing symptoms and that could easily spread it. Now is the time to be really vigilant about washing your hands and keeping your distance. We’ve told our families. They’re very supportive. Told our colleagues. Transparency is probably the best thing for this right now....

iFixit notes that Apple has decided to use more screws rather than the usual glue and solder fest with the AirPods Max. This lets both the battery and the Lightning port be more easily accessed. Which is great, because these are the two most common components that go whenever something feels wrong. That being said, the company still employs Torx screws rather than the more common flat of Philips ones....

But more than that, IKEA said in its official announcement that this Symfonisk was a picture frame WiFi speaker. The WiFi bit refers to the tech used to connect to the source of music from which it will be playing. The company also said that it can be used alone, or daisy-chained with other Symfonisk products, or speakers by SONOS. Makes sense, since the product line is a collaboration between the two companies anyway....
