What the new layer generally does is that it provides a quick look into the COVID-19 trends for the areas of the map that users are looking at. According to Google, the number shown represents a seven-day average of new COVID cases per 100,000 people and it will also indicate if the cases in that area are trending up or down. The idea is that users will be able to determine which places to visit and avoid after gaining a better perspective on affected areas via Google Maps....

In his response to the questions from Boo Sy-Lyn who is the Editor-In-Chief of the local health news site CodeBlue, Ministry Khairy stated that the government is indeed looking at whether private health care providers can augment the NCIP. He pointed out that the government really needs to go into details to see which of these facilities that it can use for the program.

But despite the suspense publisher Crytek wants to create for the game, it has had its details leaked early. And the source of this was none other than the Microsoft Store. Eurogamer reports that the game was listed on the store for a short while, with a 23 July release date. At the time of writing, the store listing has already been taken down. https://twitter.com/Crysis/status/1277632947605114881 There have been a number of other videos on YouTube, claiming to be Crysis Remastered extracted from the now pulled Microsoft Store page....

There are three prepaid SIM card options available through Data Internet Selangor. If you get any of these SIM cards, you will receive the respective monthly data for 12 months for free as the Selangor government will bear the cost but if you go over the quota, you’ll of course have to pay for the excess amount. The first package is from LIFE* (an MVNO by MBits Digital using Digi’s network) which provides 15GB of data with 100 free minutes of calls and 10 SMS monthly....

Social media is already ablaze with disgruntled netizens upset that they did not manage to get an appointment, and the blame game has already started.

Epic’s platform offers an 88/12 percentage split in revenue share, already one-upping dominant platform Steam which, even at the best of conditions, offers an 80/20 split of revenue. Discord’s cut does look a little more enticing, especially to smaller developers where every little bit of revenue helps with their livelihood. That said, Steam is still being the most popular platform by far in terms of user count. It remains to be seen if the revenue share cut will be enticing enough for developers move away from the sheer potential volume....

As its name implies, users are able to control the new DJI FPV in first-person perspective via its included FPV Goggles and controller – both of which are updated versions with updated design and features.

As with its search engine and web browser, this DuckDuckGo product aims to lessen the ability of companies to track your habits and activities on the internet. With Email Protection, it uses the quacky domain name to mask your real email from corporations, similar to Apple’s Hide My Email feature and Firefox Relay. The service will then strip any trackers from incoming emails before forwarding them to your real address and providing a breakdown of how many were removed, as well as which companies they originated from....

If you need to be caught up to speed, the Dyson Zone is essentially the combination of the company’s air purifier tech with your usual headphones. Except that this particular combination turns the ear cups into vacuums that suck in air, which is filtered as it moves from the cup to the visor in front. From there, the cleaned air will be blasted to the user’s nose and mouth. Now, the company has revealed a bit more details on the Dyson Zone....

In addition to the previous five Specialists – Irish, Mackay, Falck, Boris, and Casper – the short video briefly introduces the remaining five Specialists that players will gain access to.

According to the rumour posted on the French forums, Dealabs by rumour monger, billbil-kun, a leak obtained from their sources seems to suggest that Epic Games plans on doing the free giveaway next month. More specifically, it plans on starting from the middle of the month, 15 December. That’s not all to the rumour either. As per billbil-kun’s posting, they say that Epic Games’ free daily giveaway is expected to last well past Christmas, and into the New Year....

Facebook says that it extended the grace period because it had noticed some users actually try to log back in to their accounts after the previous 14 days grace period. Increasing the time, it says, helps them to make a more informed choice. For the ones that do have a change of heart, do note that your account won’t automatically be restored when you attempt to log back in after choosing to delete the account....

The nature of the campaign itself is pretty straightforward, and that is to raise awareness and educating the public on the ways to avoid being a scam victim. This will go on for three months, ending in September of this year. The main mantra, if you will, of this campaign is Spot, Check, and Report. It sounds pretty straightforward for those of us with experience wandering the perils of the web....

Australian Treasurer Josh Frydenberg today announced that Facebook has “re-friended” Australia. The company confirmed just as much in a public statement, noting it was pleased to reach an agreement with the government. Facebook said Australia agreed to some changes and guarantees that address its core concerns about allowing commercial deals that recognise the value our platform provides to publishers relative to the value we receive from them. That might be a roundabout way of saying news companies owe a lot of their traffic to Facebook, and Facebook gets relatively little in return....

But for some unexplainable reason, Michelle Rodriguez has taken to Twitter to say that Chris Morgan has got absolutely nothing to do with where the ‘justice for Han’ narrative is heading. She said: — Michelle Rodriguez (@MRodOfficial) August 6, 2019 First of all, while Rodriguez has been part of the family longer than Morgan, she’s technically been involved in fewer films. Rodriguez was a part of 1, 4, 6, 7 and 8 while Chris Morgan has penned 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and Hobbs & Shaw....

The announcement also came with a new trailer, which doesn’t exactly show anything new. It shows a short montage of gameplay from the base game and the Intergrade upgrade. The trailer then ends with the 16 December release date. Though it did open with the Epic Games Store stamp, indicating that it will be exclusive to it. Funnily enough, the trailer ends with a scene from Intergrade showing Yuffie screaming immediately after her line “this is just wrong”....

The trailer itself didn’t reveal much, though. All we see is a few new combat gameplay, as well as a new cutscenes. By now, it’s all very familiar stuff that we’ve seen before, especially with the trailer from last month. That said, at the end of it, the trailer displayed the date 3 March 2020. Curiously, only the PlayStation 4 was showcased as a platform for the game. This may mean that the game will be a PS4 exclusive....
