Meet the Voilà AI Artist Cartoon Photo app, which – as its ridiculously long name suggests – has the ability to transform your beautiful mug into a Pixar-like version of itself, among other things. And much like FaceApp, users are required to upload a photo of themselves (or others) via the software in order to be enhanced by developer Wemagine.AI’s cloud-based artificial intelligence system. Aside from producing a photo worthy of an audition for the next Disney 3D animated movie, other styles featured on Voilà include hand-drawn caricatures, renaissance-esque portraits, and more....

We haven’t heard much after that though but as it turned out, TNG and Shell are finally ready to get things rolling again. It has come to our attention that TNG has begun offering participation slots for the TNG Refuelling Pilot Programme to selected customers. According to a screenshot of the e-mail that was sent to us by an anonymous tipster, which has since made its way to Lowyat.NET Forums as well, the pilot programme is taking place at five Shell Stations in Klang Valley including Bandar Sri Menjalara, Mint Hotel, NKVE Damansara, Taman Connaught, and Taman Tun Dr Ismail....

“We had the tragedy of losing 2,000 staff through COVID-19. Before I retire, I must make sure that I hire everyone back,” he said at the RESET 2021 virtual conference, according to Bernama. Last week, in a Facebook video, Fernandes pleaded for more time from customers requesting flight refunds even as he reminded them that AirAsia had to let go 10% of its staff. During RESET 2021, he pointed to AirAsia’s pioneering culture – the first ASEAN airline to have female pilots, and the only airline of its size in the world to have a union....

The new 18TB HDDs can be categorised into two SKUs: the X300 and N300. The X300 18TB model is, as the “X” prefix would suggest, designed for users with high-end desktops, while the N300 variant is designed for inexpensive network-attached storage (NAS) solutions. As per Tom’s Hardware, the X300 HDDs are the only hard drives in the world to use the MAMR technology for the consumer desktop segment, while the N300 series HDDs are designed for NAS with up to eight bays....

The company announced that you can get your RFID sticker installed at no cost, at a number of locations in the Klang Valley. This will be running everyday throughout the month of April 2019, from 10am to 10pm. But while you can just walk in and ask for one, there are only 20000 of them available. The RFID is essentially the successor to the SmartTAG. You use it the same way too – if you have it fitted, you can just drive through toll lanes that are fitted with the RFID scanner....

The answer is a big yes, at least on a global scale. Raking in approximately $US 238 million at the global box office in its first weekend of release, Toy Story 4 is officially the highest grossing opening weekend of all time for an animated film. It beat the previous record holder Incredibles 2 ($US 235 million) by a whisker. Coming in at 3rd place is Fox’s Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs with $US 218 million....

TSMC’s new 5nm process will be aimed at SoC designs, 5G and artificial intelligence (AI) applications, along with high-performance computing. Statistically, the new 5nm process will deliver 1.8 times the logic density on an ARM Cortex-A72 core processor. In comparison with the current 7nm die lithography. Additionally, TSMC also completed the development of its 5nm Design Rule Manual (DRM), Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (SPICE), and process design kits (PDK)....

This is because the Fair Usage Policy (FUP) for the new Tune Unlimited plan actually stated that the plan has 100GB of data allocation that can be used over a period of 30 days. If the customer utilised all of them within that period, his or her plan will then be temporarily converted to the free basic Internet service which runs at a speed of 64kbps alongside 10GB quota until the cycle refreshes....

The button has a sparkle icon, and tapping on it brings out the option for you to switch between “Top Tweets” and the reverse-chronological feed. This does still mean that the former is the default, but at least you don’t have to dive deep into the settings to change the order of your feed. — Twitter (@Twitter) December 18, 2018 That said, your selection may be reverted at some point....

Moving forward, Twitter will now display a warning on your app whenever you plan on retweeting or quoting a post that has been flagged. Twitter isn’t stopping there either and has even expanded the feature so that even “liking” a dispute tweet will prompt you about your actions. Specifically, simply tapping the heart button on such a post will trigger the warning, followed by a “Find out More” pop up....

To be precise, the GeekBench specifications don’t list down the CUDA core count for both GPUs, but rather the respective Compute Units (CU) for each model. For the uninitiated, though, CUDA cores are essentially the CU count multiplied by 64. The first NVIDIA GPU, specifically, lists down an OpenCL score of 184096 points with 24GB of graphics memory clocked at 1.11GHz. Along with 118 Compute Units. One thing to note is that the Geekbench listing doesn’t specify what sort of memory format the GPU is running on....

For those who are not familiar with Waze Beacon, it is a Bluetooth-based device which is designed to help navigation software and apps to continue their operation even though there is no GPS signal within the area. Despite the name, Waze Beacon is actually platform-agnostic and can be utilised by any navigation services. To our knowledge, the deployment of Waze Beacons in SMART Tunnel is the second such implementation in Malaysia after TRX City earlier this year which was also the first in Southeast Asia....

Available with Unlimited HERO P99 and P139 plans, customers can choose to pick up the offer in two manners. The first one being direct purchase with 24-month tie-in with U Mobile postpaid plans that we mentioned earlier. Here is how the price calculation looks like, according to U Mobile: Alternatively, customers can also pick up the iPhone 11 promotion through the telco’s U Package instalment scheme.

ORIGINAL STORY – 1118am: It has come to our attention that TM has added a new clause to its unifi 100Mbps plan which would revert the RM 129 monthly charge (not inclusive of SST charges) to a much higher fee after 24-months. The two years period is the standard contract period for unifi plan. If the new clause sounds quite familiar, that’s because it is something that TM has implemented before....

As seen in the embedded tweet, the watermark can be seen at the bottom-right corner, albeit smaller than the usual “Activate Windows” watermark that users typically see for operating Windows without an official license. In addition, developers say that the watermark also appears on virtual machines. While the watermark is still being tested, some Windows Insiders have reason to believe that, based on the current beta build and Microsoft’s behaviour of late, it is looking more and more likely that the company from Redmond may be moving forward with the plan to “shame” Windows 11 users into getting their system up to date....

VGC reports that the details came via a dataminer known as SciresM. They claim that the firmware for the current Nintendo Switch makes reference to new hardware, codenamed Aula. Among the details found regarding the supposed Nintendo Switch upgrade includes an Nvidia Tegra X1 chipset. While it’s the same chipset as the current revised version as well as that of the Lite model, it will be pushed to higher clock speeds....

Newly added to the list includes AliExpress and WeChat’s e-commerce ecosystem, joining existing entries such as Baidu Wangpan, DHGate, Pinduoduo, and Taobao. In its statement, the US Trade Representative office noted that these online marketplaces are “known for the manufacture, distribution, and sale of counterfeit goods.” Responding to this, Alibaba said it will continue working with government agencies to address concerns regarding intellectual property protection across its platforms. Tencent, on the other hand, strongly disagreed with the action and argued that it actively monitored, deterred as well as acted upon violations across its platforms, and had also invested significant resources into intellectual property rights protection....

The tournaments ran by GESC Indonesia and GESC Thailand in their respective countries, were Dota 2 Minor tournaments. Both tournaments were qualifying events for annual The International 2018 and both events each had US$300,000 (~RM1.24 million) in prize money up for grabs for participating teams that included Fnatic and Evil Geniuses. Unfortunately for GESC, the current total unpaid stands at a whopping US$750000 (~RM3.1 million) and include unpaid wages for contractors and on-screen talents....

The game even has a dedicated YouTube channel, where its trailer is available. From it, we can see familiar elements from other kart racers, including the notorious blue shell. The trailer states that there are 16 tracks and 20 characters to choose from, with five representatives from each series. Races can take up to eight players. There’s even a singleplayer campaign, which should be interesting. Naturally there are also other customisation options beyond the character you pick....
