Of course, the first thing to note is the name. It is both a Sony Ericsson and a VAIO, names that have since split from the PlayStation maker for many years. In fact, an old report from a decade ago suggests that this was supposed to be launched back then. Like the Xperia Play 2, the Sony Ericsson Xperia VAIO took the laptop maker’s name pretty seriously. To that end, the device came with a QWERTY keyboard beneath the display....
Just in case you missed it, Insta360 debuted the ONE RS 1-Inch Leica 360 Edition for certain markets late last month. As implied by its name, equipped on the front and rear of the new product’s camera module are two large imaging sensors that are co-developed with renowned German brand Leica. According to the company, the device is capable of recording up to 6K resolution 360-degree videos, as well as capturing up to 21MP photos....
The Ambient Display itself is part of the touchpad, and is itself a touch display. Being a small strip, you can set icons of frequently used programs there, as well as other non-interactive icons like the battery level indicator. In a demonstration, tapping on the calendar icon shows a number of appointments that’s been saved to the laptop user’s account. Tapping on the Spotify icon on the other hand brings up player controls and info on the currently playing song....
The site (heads up, subscription needed) seems to suggest that the hike is the starting price, and that this will be for the cheaper, more budget-friendly B760 options of the series, while the more advanced models with more features and better power delivery will be anywhere between 200 and 300 yuan (~RM127 and RM190). Again, that average price hike will be higher than what the previous generation B660 models in the same category would cost....
To be precise, the discontinued SSDs include the Optane Memory M10, 800P, 900P, and 905P SSDs, the latter having launched more than two years prior. As to why Intel chose to discontinue it, the company explained that it pretty much plans on focusing on pushing for its new Optane Memory H20 with SSD for its targeted market segment. On that note, one of the main attractions for the Optane Memory H20 series is that it uses Intel’s new 144-layer QLC 3DNAND technology, allowing the component to house 32GB of Optane Memory and a choice of 512GB or 1TB of storage....
As a start, we now know that Rocket Lake-S will introduce a new desktop CPU architecture known as Cypress Cove. According to the slides, it seems that the top-of-the-line CPU of the series will have an 8-cores, 16-thread layout; a core count that remains unchanged since Intel’s Core i9-9900K and 10th generation Comet Lake-S Core i9-10900K CPUs. What will be different, as per the same Intel slide, is that CPUs based on the new Cypress Cove architecture will have double-digit improvements with its Instructions Per Clock (IPC)....
As opposed to its predecessors, the SSD 670p features a denser 144-layer QLC 3D NAND flash memory alongside an updated controller. Despite being a newly released product, it still utilises a PCIe 3.0 x4 interface though which may disappoint those that are looking for PCIe 4.0-based SSD. In terms of performance, Intel claimed that the new drive is able to deliver almost 2x sequential read speed over its predecessor. At the same time, the SSD 670p also offers 20% improvement in terms of write endurance which is rated at up to 740TBW for the 2TB variant of the drive....
But with the number of devices on offer, each having three storage configurations, we’re splitting our comparisons into two. Today, we’ll be looking at the base iPhone 12, as well as the mini variant and their storage variants. Maxis Maxis has deals for all the configurations for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini. They are available via the usual 24-month contract, as well as the Zerolution installments. As you’d expect, the Zerolution deals will generally cost more than paying for the phone upfront....
MBI and TM have signed a service subscription agreement for the Smart Traffic Light with Intelligence Analytic (STARS) system. The AI-powered system is capable of congesting videos from high-definition cameras and analytics to intelligently analyse traffic for an optimal traffic flow. According to Perak Youth and Sports, Communications and Multimedia Committee chairman Khairul Shahril Mohamed, the system is expected to streamline traffic flow by up to 51% during peak hours....
The film was screened for American critics and the negative reviews started pouring in. But it wasn’t just negative reviews (which are fine), it was fear-mongering. American media (not all, obviously) created a narrative that pretty much screamed, “if you watch Joker, you’re guaranteed to be a mass shooter.” The armed forces were deployed to patrol certain cinemas and a lot of them banned clown masks and disallowed people from cosplaying as The Joker....
The Health Ministry has agreed to procure 150,000 courses of molnupiravir at an undisclosed price. For context, the pills were bought by the US government at US$1.2 billion (~RM5 billion) for 1.7 million courses, averaging US$700 (~RM2926) per course, with the regimen being two pills a day for five days. While the antiviral has not been approved by health authorities just yet, recent Phase Three trial data showed promising results, with the risks of death and hospitalisation being cut in half for patients infected by the virus....
Even though we hear reports of payment hiccups, the fact that 27,000 kg of Milo were purchased on the e-commerce platform within the first 2 hours after the 11.11 shopping festival started is quite insane. In general, this just showed the level of love that Malaysians have for the malt chocolate drink. Check out and empty your cart before its too late. THE BIGGEST ONE DAY SALE is happening now!...
Just in case you missed it, LEGO previously unveiled the set last month as part of a special collaboration with toy giant and Transformers franchise owner Hasbro. In addition, the Optimus Prime set marks the first time that a character from the popular franchise has officially been made available in a buildable bricks form outside of Hasbro’s own Kre-O toy line. LEGO’s take on the Autobot commander consists of over 1,500 bricks and will stand at a height of over 13....
To start, the characters themselves sure don’t look like your average LEGO minifigs. This is especially true for Mario himself, who is larger than the other characters. He also comes with screens for his eyes, mouth, and the chest segment on his clothes. The first two allow him to react and change his expression depending on what’s going on around him, while the latter serves like some sort of notification screen....
Besides the aforementioned port which enables it to function as a secondary or portable monitor, the Yoga Tab 13 comes with a 13-inch 2160 x 1350 pixel 60Hz LTPS display and four JBL-tuned speakers arranged into a single built-in soundbar. Under its hood is a Snapdragon 870 chipset, paired with 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and a storage capacity of up to 256GB. Powering the device is a massive 10,000mAh battery with 30W quick charge support....
The event itself is scheduled to happen between 6 and 10 November, 2019. The first three days are the usual business side of things. Aptly, it’s called Level Up Biz and will take place at the Connexion Conference & Event Centre (CCEC) at Bangsar South. On the weekends, the public event, called Level Up Play, will take place at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. As it’s still a ways ahead of the event, MDEC has only shared a rough schedule of the event....
This is also not limited to the newer devices like macOS Catalina’s Sidecar. As long as the main Mac is running macOS El Capitan or newer, the secondary mac can be running OS versions as old as Mountain Lion. To use this, you will have to install the software in both Macs. Both of them will also have to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and there’s no wired option....
In terms of design, the new model looked almost no different from the existing MacBook Air which has just been refreshed earlier this year with larger base storage and Magic Keyboard. However, the new Apple M1 chip apparently brings together several improvements in terms of performance. Here is the list of performance upgrade that the M1-based MacBook Air is able to deliver as compared to its predecessor, according to Apple: – Export a project for the web with iMovie up to 3x faster....
In general, the trial is a continuation of the announcement that the airline had made in February. Back then, Malaysia Airlines revealed its intention to develop its own Digital Travel Health Pass that will be integrated into its mobile app and this pass will be using some modules from the IATA Travel Pass. According to IATA, its app contains four main modules including a list of health requirements for destinations all over the world....
As opposed to other World Cups through e-sports and real-life sports which usually involves a series of qualifier matchups, Malaysia qualifies to OWC through community votes. These votes also determined the three-person committee that would be managing the respective national teams. — Team Malaysia Overwatch (@malaysiaowwc) June 14, 2019 In other words, the national OWC committee was determined by the local community itself.
