With a very low monthly fee of only RM 10, the new plan provides unlimited local on-net calls alongside 2GB of data. The plan will renew itself each month provided that there is enough credit balance and each customer is able to obtain up to 5 SIM cards. Given the specific characteristics of this plan, customers need to verify their identity first before they are able to subscribe to it....
The change in Twitter’s 2FA protocol allows clearly serves as a reprieve for many Twitter users, especially since it eliminates the dangers of SIM card swapping attacks. For years, Twitter used SMS for its main two-factor authentication method, even when more viable authentication methods, including Google Authenticator and Yubikey, had been available. The removal of SMS-based authentication also prevents the social media platform from sending target-specific advertisements to said phone numbers....
As Twitter points out, some of the features being tested in Labs would likely be made available to everyone else in the future, or become an exclusive to Twitter Blue – or could be scrapped altogether. Like regular beta tests, subscribers will have a say in what happens to each feature by providing their feedback to the social media giant. Today, we’re rolling out Labs 🔬, giving you early access to some new features we’re building before everyone else like: 🔹 Pinned Conversations on iOS🔹 Longer video uploads on desktop only Here are some questions you might be asking: — Twitter Blue (@TwitterBlue) October 27, 2021 Labs is rolling out with two features right out of the bag, the social media giant added....
As you would expect, how Uber operates differs from the rules and regulations of the country it has a presence in. In Germany and other EU countries, the ride-sharing service works exclusively with private hire vehicle companies (PHV) and their corresponding drivers. Specifically, the ban prohibits Uber from operating in seven German cities, including Frankfurt, Berlin, and Munich. Additionally, the German court found multiple issues with Uber’s dispatching process. One issue is that its drivers were able to accept a job within the app and without the driver’s official employer receiving it first, which is required by the country’s ride-hailing laws....
The company was extremely brief with its announcement, with no details on what it will be showcasing. But considering the number of games Ubisoft has in queue, chances are we will see more than a couple of them. This will also likely include the recently unveiled Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Especially after the recent, err, “gameplay” trailer. Chances are the Ubisoft Forward event will also reveal more about Watch Dogs: Legion, Gods & Monsters, and Rainbow Six: Quarantine....
Damian Collins, Chairperson of the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee said that loot boxes are very lucrative for game publishers. That said, they come at a high cost for problem gamblers, as well as exposing children to potential harm. He also says that it’s about time that UK gambling laws caught up to the reality of the situation. Under current UK gambling laws, for something to be gambling it has to officially have prizes that is money, or have monetary value....
The reason behind the delisting stems from UL’s discovery that the smartphones produced benchmark scores that were both artificially and unusually higher than average. The tests were done using a publicly downloadable version of 3DMark, as well as a private version that’s not available to the public. Despite both being identical tests, the differences in the results were pretty obvious. To be precise, UL said that the differences in the score indicated that the devices are recognising the 3DMark benchmark app by name, instead of adapting to the type of app....
However, the Academy Award-winning VFX team will branch out as a standalone company called WetaFX, which Peter Jackson will hold a majority share in. WetaFX is expected to become Unity’s largest customer in the Media and Entertainment space and will apparently continue to add more assets to the library sold to Unity. Weta Digital was founded by Peter Jackson in 1993 and is famous for making iconic blockbusters such as Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, Avengers End Game and Infinity War, Avatar, and a lot more....
As of June 2019, Universiti Malaya is reported to have 2,013 local and 331 International Academic Staff, as well as 649 Management Personal and 2,877 Support Staff which we believe are now victims of this data breach. The leaked files, which were uploaded to an anonymous file-sharing site also included backend passwords and database credentials, making it a very real possibility that a lot more data and financial records – even those belonging to the students – might have been compromised....
Things might change soon though if this new set of leaks from Roland Quandt of Winfuture is true.

[Image: Roland Quandt / WinFuture.]One of them is the 65W Power Adapter Trio EP-T6530 which features two USB-C ports and one USB-A port. According to Roland, the first USB-C port is able to deliver the full 65W charging power while the second USB-C port goes up to 25W and the sole USB-A port maxed out at 15W....
No doubt the company made this move to promote both products simultaneously. The new Half-Life game will actually not require Valve’s Index. But Ars Technica’s previous report indicates that the experience of the company’s game will likely be more complete with its own VR headset and controllers. All this will mainly be down to the Knuckles controller. But it’s not clear yet what’s the digree of the difference the controller will make....

VideoLAN has put up a long Twitter thread explaining the situation. The very first tweet even comes with a summary, saying that it’s an issue that was fixed over 16 months ago.

This is in line with the global reduction in driving, according to Waze’s data. That said, the driving reduction in Malaysia is greater than the global average, which is at 60% less kilometres driven. Of course, a massive reduction still means that there are still people out on the road. They could be essential service workers, or family members making grocery trips. For these people, Waze is working to add region-specific information about road closures, red zones, and other COVID-19 related information to the map....
This follows an open letter to the Organisation, published in the Clinical Infectious Diseases journal. In it, 239 scientists from 32 countries outlined evidence that shows the floating novel coronavirus particles infecting people who breathe them in. This could lead to a change in prevention guidelines. This is especially around the severity of the social distancing we are currently practising. As mentioned, current guidelines are based on the droplets-based transmission model of the novel coronavirus....
Xbox head Phil Spencer said in an interview with Stevivor that he prefers to play games with higher frame rates over higher resolution. He said that he wanted games to feel as good as they look. And to that end, Microsoft will be focusing on “the feel” of the games, rather than just having more pixels. Spencer also said that this isn’t possible in the current generation. This is because the current gen Xbox One, and its variants, have underpowered CPUs compared tho their GPUs....

A lot of details regarding the project were not discussed by the report through but our quick search showed the project has actually been in progress for the past few years. In fact, the chatters regarding it have started from as early as 2014. Back then, it was reported that Microsoft would invest up to RM 6 billion to establish its data centre in Kulai. However, it seemed that the company took quite some time to greenlit the project since the submission of its building plan for the data centre was only reported in 2018....
