One of the key differentiators between the WF-H800 and its slightly more premium sibling is its wider colour range; where the WF-1000XM3 was only available in black and silver, the new earbuds come in five shades. Blue, orange, red, black, and green. As for its shape and design, the WF-H800 seems to harken back to the original WF-1000X, although it stands to reason that its audio quality and delivery will significantly be better than the muse....

On the PlayStation blog, the company announced that it will be releasing the Pulse 3D wireless headset in Midnight Black. Unfortunately, it’s only the one colour. But since the company also had an announcement video showcasing the headset with the matching DualSense controller colour, it makes the absence of the Cosmic Red version even more apparent. The announcement post also makes mention of a new feature that came with its recent major software update....

According to the company, the new Share function is opt-in, therefore PS5 owners will have to activate it first. In addition, users are also required to link the console to the PlayStation app on mobile devices in order for this work. Once enabled, the feature will automatically upload media saved on the console to the cloud, which can be accessed via the PlayStation app on mobile devices. — PlayStation Canada (@PlayStationCA) October 18, 2021 There’s one minor caveat though, using the feature will require the console to be left in Rest Mode and have the “Stay Connected to the Internet” setting activated....

Sony’s move isn’t exactly a massive surprise, especially when one considers the relationship between the two tech giants. Back in May, Epic Games made the choice to showcase its new Unreal Engine 5 with Sony instead of Microsoft. By releasing Unreal Engine 5 Lumen and Nanite tech demo that was running on the Japanese corporations’ upcoming PlayStation 5 (PS5) console. As we mentioned, Sony’s US$250 million investment into Epic Games isn’t massive and in the grand scale of things, only translate to approximately 1....

Interesting enough, the company is not done yet for 2019. Earlier this week, Sony Mobile has quietly unveiled a new model called Xperia 8 which essentially a mid-range model that carries plenty of noticeable design characteristics of its older and higher-end siblings. For starters, there’s the now-signature 21:9 aspect ratio display which is equipped with 6.0-inch Full HD+ Triluminos panel. The Xperia 8 also comes with the dedicated Side Sense button which a feature that was originally introduced with Xperi XZ3....

As per a posting on Walkman Blog, the site initially discovered Qualcomm had listed down the WF-1000XM3 on its list of products that support its aptX HD. Despite the product bearing no support for the audio codec since its launch. Before it could garner more information, however, Qualcomm had already taken down the relevant page, leaving several questions in its wake. The first is why Sony would opt for Qualcomm’s aptX HD audio codec when it already has its own LDAC codec....

Citing a Weibo post, Japanese website SumahoDigest reports that next year’s Sony Xperia 1 V will sport a 48MP main camera. This is also said to be the same ones found on the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, though which one exactly it is remains unknown for now. That being said, if they are indeed the same sensor, this technically means 12MP images after taking pixel binning into account....

According to the official Sony Malaysia product page, the Xperia 5 II will retail at an SRP of RM4099 and also be available in three colours: Pink, Black, and Blue. The price tag was first picked up by Amanz, and from the looks of it, it’s very likely that the price reveal is an accident. The only thing missing from the equation now is the exact launch date in December....

Unlike the latter two which run on Android TV, both Samsung and LG smart TVs use their own first party Android-based operating systems: Tizen OS and WebOS, respectively. So instead of Play Store, users will need to access each platform’s app store in order to download the sooka application. From there, everything else is pretty much similar to how the streaming service operates on Sony and Sharp TVs. To recap, sooka’s smart TV service differs from its web and mobile versions....

ORIGINAL STORY (15 March / 1:45 PM): The Final Fantasy 7 Remake is, to put it quite simply, a hit. No surprise, since it’s the remake of probably the most popular of the 15 titles in the series. Maybe it’s because of this success, Square Enix now has watches themed around Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children up for pre-order. The watch comes in two sizes, 34mm and 39mm. On the left, it has the Cloudy Wolf emblem embossed....

Coming in at second and third place was DOTA 2 and PUBG....

Basically, the feature allows users to begin a chat with someone without having their phone number saved in their contacts. Provided that they know the person’s number and that they have an active WhatsApp account, the user can initiate the chat by creating and providing them a link. Jayaran explained that Click To Chat metadata are indexed by Google, therefore resulting in the “leaking” of user personal information – in this case, their phone numbers – on WhatsApp’s wa....

To take an excerpt from my own review: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is a frustrating final chapter, one whose skeleton is feeble and made out of nothing but nostalgic candy, whose flesh is see-through, blood is thin and whose heart doesn’t pound like the drums at the back of Dragon boats but whimpers softly. Having said that, there’s no denying the amount of effort put in by JJ Abrams and the rest of the cast and crew....

Through these new executive orders, U.S companies and individuals will not be allowed to do business with TikTok and WeChat or their respective owners. The orders also stated that the ban will take place in 45 days. According to these orders, President Trump claimed that both apps are threatening U.S national security, foreign policy, and economy. On top of that, he further added that these apps have been collecting a lot of information from users including location data, browsing habits and search history that can be used to track government officials and contractors as well as for blackmail and industrial espionage....

“Rather than go through lengthy litigation, we’d like to focus our efforts on building a safe and joyful experience for the TikTok community,” a company spokesperson said. Under settlement rules, TikTok will no longer store a user’s biometric information, including facial profiles, or track a user’s location using GPS data or send American users’ data outside the country, NPR said. The lawsuit claimed that TikTok sent user data to Chinese servers or where China-based employees were able to access the information....

To be delivered through two new pilot projects, their main objective is to gauge the capability of TNB’s fiber broadband network in terms of durability and efficiency not only in different geographical areas but also varying environment and weather conditions. The report further stated that these new pilot projects were greenlit by the higher management of TNB due to positive feedback from the existing implementation in Jasin, Melaka. The pilot project in Jasin was first launched by TNB back in early September to help test out the potential technical capabilities and financial viability of the company’s fiber network to support the government’s National Connectivity Plan (NCP)....

The new card has been long in the making, with TNG initially announcing that they would launch it by the end of 2021, which obviously didn’t happen. Ong said that the 20-year-old card lacks the ability to directly top up from the eWallet because it requires a specific card reader for security reasons. If you remember, TNG actually rolled out a card reload feature via the app back in 2018....

According to a report by Reuters, sharp turns and sudden braking may loosen up the hub bolts on the EV’s wheels. In a separate recall notice by Toyota USA, the automaker noted that this could take place during low-mileage use. The 20-inch wheels on bZ4X.

In a speech at the Toyota Malaysia media night just moments ago, the President of UMW Toyota Motor, Ravindran K revealed that the company is currently sampling the brand’s all-electric SUV, BZ4X in Malaysia.
