Apple Ecg App Listed On Malaysian Authority S Database Launch Status Unknown

Given that the ECG app is being considered as a tool to monitor medical conditions, its usage does require approval from authorities and that does take some time to be completed. In fact, the ECG app, as well as the irregular heart rhythm notification, took several years before they received the clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration and were only rolled out to Apple Watch Series 4 several months after its US release....

The reasons for the rejections and removals are apparently diverse. According to Apple, many of these apps weren’t finished or functioning properly, or didn’t have a sufficient mechanism to moderate user-generated content.

Assassin S Creed Valhalla Adds Dualsense Support On Pc

VGC reports that the PC version of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla can now make use of the DualSense controller’s adaptive triggers for aiming. When you fire a bow, you can pull the trigger halfway to draw, and push it through the additional threshold to actually fire the arrow. This makes it work much like it does on the PS5. This is a lot more significant than the haptics, which is likely not involved here, making use of basic rumble instead....

Asus Accidentally Outs Nvidia Geforce Rtx 3080 Ti With 20Gb Gddr6X

The brand’s cock-up and accidental confirmation happened when the PC components and laptop maker listed the alleged RTX 3080 Ti on its support page. It lists two variants of the card – a standard and overclocked version – both under ASUS’ ROG Strix lineup. Additionally, the listing seemingly confirms the card’s rumoured graphics memory, 20GB GDDR6X. Unsurprisingly, the listing has since been removed by ASUS, but it’s fair to say that this revelation is akin to a happy little accident and gives us an idea of what we can look forward to next year....

Avengers Endgame Will Be Very Different From Infinity War

But it looks like Avengers: Endgame will be a completely different ballgame altogether. In an interview with Box Office Pro, director Joe Russo commented on how Endgame will have a completely different style than Infinity War: While 1/2 of the Russo brothers was very careful not to divulge any plot points whatsoever, I think it’s safe to assume that he’s mostly referring to the perspective of the narrative and how it’s going to shift from the villain’s in Infinity War to the heroes’ in Endgame....
