Targeted Fuel Subsidy To Use Several Databases Aside From Jpj

Salahuddin explained that the government will integrate all available databases, not just data from JPJ. The comprehensive database will include data from the Inland Revenue Board (IRB), Bank Negara, Khazanah Nasional Bhd, the Department of Statistics Malaysia, and university studies. He added that having a comprehensive data centre was important and necessary to make the targeted subsidy mechanism a success. “We need to gather all the data.

The Capa13R Is A Tinker Board Powered By An Amd Ryzen Apu

What makes the CAPA13R special is that unlike the competition, the tinker board is fully powered by an AMD Ryzen APU. More specifically, users can opt for a model fitted with either an AMD Ryzen V1807B or V1605B APU. Because they are APUs, both options also feature integrated graphics; the V1807B comes with Radeon Vega 11 GPU cores, while the V1605B comes with less potent Radeon Vega 8 cores. Having an integrated GPU also give the CAPA13R a leg up over other tinker boards on the market, giving users the ability to run more graphically intensive applications....

The International 2022 To Take Place In Singapore

Valve made the announcement on Twitter, sharing only the location and the month in which this year’s edition of The International will take place. It’s accompanied by a montage of previous winning teams, but that’s about it. So there’s still a lot of missing details to say the least, from the exact date beyond the month of October to the prize pool. — DOTA 2 (@DOTA2) May 22, 2022 On the subject of date, an October window is a little out of the norm, but not entirely unexpected....

The Invisible Man Composer Breaks Down Film S Brilliant Music

The opening sequence alone is an excellent example. First, you hear the sound of waves. What follows is complete silence, as the protagonist walks around the house quietly while her man sleeps, gathering her things in an attempt to escape. The tension builds and builds and then we hear a dog bark, followed by a rich and heavy score that elevates our heart rate. In an interview with Collider, Wallfisch mentioned that director Leigh Whannell wanted the music of The Invisible Man to not just be an accompanying piece but a character in and of itself....

The Last Of Us Ii Launch Delayed New Release Date On May 2020

According to Neil Druckmann, the Creative Director behind the IP, he says that the primary reason for the delay was because he felt that The Last of Us II still wasn’t up to the standards that Naughty Dog was expecting. In his official blog post, Druckmann says that he and his team were faced with two options looking at the current state of the game: compromise parts of the game, or get more time....

Tiktok Shop Is Now Official In Malaysia

In its press release, TikTok claims that Malaysia recorded a total of RM279 billion in e-commerce income in the third quarter of 2021 alone. And the figure is a jump of 17.1% from the same quarter the year before. So it makes sense that it wants a piece of the e-commerce pie, while also making it “more convenient for our creators to reach our buyers, and vice versa”. According to the company, TikTok Shop will mainly benefit Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) “who have yet to set up a physical brick-and-mortar store” due to the high initial investment costs....

Twitter Launches Bounty Challenge To Find Algorithmic Crop Bias

Twitter started using “smart cropping” in 2018, but users claim that it tends to favour light-skinned people and even women over men. The saliency algorithm uses machine learning to crop the images so that previews in tweets remain a consistent size. Now, the company is seeking help to find the bias in its machine learning model before it causes more “unintended ethical harms.” For the coders who are interested, there are three cash prizes ranging from USD$500 (~RM 2,112) to USD$ 3,500 (~RM 14,789) and two special cash prizes worth USD$ 1,000 (~RM 4,225) for innovation and generalisability (being applicable to more algorithms)....

Twitter Retiring Its Fleets Feature On 3 August 2021

The reason behind the cancellation of Fleets is due to its low usage, Twitter explained. “We hoped Fleets would help more people feel comfortable joining the conversation on Twitter,” said company vice president of product Ilya Brown in a statement. “But, in the time since we introduced Fleets to everyone, we haven’t seen an increase in the number of new people joining the conversation with Fleets like we hoped.” Twitter has been actively introducing even newer additions and improvements to its platform in order to stay relevant to users – especially those that are actively using new and trending features on other social media....

Us Treasury Slaps Sanctions On Cryptocurrency Exchange To Counter Ransomware

One Digital Assets Exchange (DAX) in particular, SUEX, found itself imposed with said sanctions after the US financial body determined that it had facilitated the ransomware attacks, when it helped the threat actors launder their seedy gains from no less than eight events. For that matter, more than 40% of SUEX’s transactions reportedly stem from such activities. To put it simply: SUEX knew who these transactions belonged to and still went ahead and processed them anyway....

Valve Shows Off Steam Deck Packaging

The main takeaway here is that the Steam Deck will come with its own carrying case. Which is nice, since for the many handhelds prior, especially of the Nintendo variety, these kinds of things are usually pricey optional extras. Also in the box is a power supply, which Valve says will be appropriate for each customer’s region. The Steam Deck itself will also probably not change much between what we’ve seen and when it reaches customers’ hands....

Vivo X90 Series Confirmed Launching In Malaysia On 3 February 2023

It’s worth noting a Pro+ variant was also introduced during the line-up’s initial debut in China last December, which also is the only model from the series to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. However, it may seem that we won’t be seeing this variant anytime soon, as vivo Malaysia confirmed that only its two siblings will be launching for the local market. Further corroborating on this is the absence of the Pro+ model from the series’ listing in the SIRIM database, which was discovered by Kevin Ng TK earlier this month....
