It’s not an overstatement to say that Samsung’s plans to rollout its Galaxy Fold smartphone has not gone according to plan. Tech sites who received early units of the device faced a myriad of issues with its display. Now, a teardown guide of the phone has been published by iFixit; its dissection showing why its display failed the way it did. The breakdown shows that Samsung actually spent a lot of time and effort in the folding mechanism of the Galaxy Fold....

They are not an all-new model though, so you might have heard of these Illegear laptops before. Among them is the Onyx V that features a15.6-inch Full HD 120Hz IPS display and can be fitted with either AMD Ryzen 5 4600H or Ryzen 7 4800H into the Onyx V. Similar processor options can also be obtained for the Rogue which is equipped with a larger 17.3-inch Full HD IPS display that also has 120Hz refresh rate....

Speaking of similarities, the Insta360 ONE X2 features the same form factor as the original and the ability to record 360-degree videos at up to 5.7K resolution 30fps. Stabilisation is based on the company’s FlowState technology, which uses the camera’s horizon levelling algorithm to remove shakes without the need of a gimbal. A much welcomed upgrade over its predecessor is the inclusion of a new touchscreen display to preview images and videos....

To elaborate further, these so-called “inappropriate” posts means that Instagram can also flag down posts that are “hurtful”, “violent”, or “sexually suggestive”. On top of being demoted, this also means Instagram could also remove said posts from its discovery sections and hashtag pages. The statement doesn’t provide a specific list, but suffice to say, it does mean that people on Instagram are going to have to think twice before posting their pictures or video clips on the social media platform....

As per the announcement, Meteor Lake will utilise the x86 architecture and tile design, as well as multiple manufacturing processors made from Intel’s Foveros packaging technology. On a side note, Meteor Lake will not be the only CPU to be based on the 7nm process node; on the datacentre spectrum, Intel’s “Granite Rapids” datacentre processors will also be based on the 7nm architecture. As to when we can see Meteor Lake CPUs, Intel says that the earliest 7nm architecture will be made available to the masses is sometime in 2023, but the tape-in for it is set to be completed within the second quarter of this year....

In total, there are a total of 22 new CPUs, broken down into two categories: Mainstream and Low Power CPUs. In the mainstream category, the list starts with a dual-core Celeron G6900 at the bottom of the barrel and goes all the way up to a 16-cores, 24-threads Core i9-12900 CPU. For the uninitiated, the “non-K” variants of Intel’s processors denote that these CPUs, while powerful, are not overclockable. On another note, all mainstream Core CPUs on the list with an “F” moniker at the back of their designation mean that they are devoid of an integrated GPU....

An Apple support page has revealed that iOS 15.2’s settings will include a “parts and service history” section, which can be found under General > About. This section will show if any parts of the iPhone has been replaced and whether these parts are third-party or genuinely from Apple. Not all iPhones will have the same level of transparency though. The iPhone XR, XS or second-generation iPhone SE are the oldest models to get this feature, and it will only show if the battery has been replaced....

Let’s go straight to the point: why getting the latest and greatest iPhone from U Mobile is the way to go? The biggest reason would be the fact that you are able to obtain the new iPhone 11 series devices for a lower price through U Mobile. For example, you can obtain the new iPhone 11 series through U Mobile UPackage instalment plan. Via this plan, the iPhone 11 Pro costs from as little as RM 151 per month and since the plan comes with 0 upfront payment and 0% interest, that also means 0 worries!...

Researchers at the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science are developing something that might do away with the need for an annual COVID-19 jab; a vaccine that gives lifetime protection, modelled after the smallpox vaccine. The smallpox vaccine, developed in 1796, remains the only vaccine that has successfully eradicated an infectious disease, with the last known case being a patient in Somalia in 1977. Michinori Kohara, emeritus investigator at the Tokyo institution, has been working for over three decades on the vaccinia virus used in the smallpox vaccine....

According to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), the most expensive state to deploy new telco towers would be Sarawak. However, when it comes to the total cost of permits within a period of six years, Johor is on the top of the table instead: Aside from that, MCMC has also shared the figures for network infrastructures that are installed on rooftops. Once again, the permit cost in Sarawak is the highest for new deployments but the biggest overall cost goes to Melaka although the differences between the states were less significant as compared to the cost of permits for a telco tower:...

As for storage size, the SSD is available in four capacities: 250GB, 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB....

A prominent one among them is The Last Stand extended campaign, which adds a story mission based on the Lighthouse survival map. Speaking of survival maps, there are 26 new ones too. And naturally, there’s an extended list of bug fixes as well. Left 4 Dead 2 was released all the way back in 2009, making it nearly 11 years old. But despite being such an old game, it’s had a continuous following from its loyal community....

It will come in the form of a 48-inch LG C1 4K OLED Smart TV that the company has launched as part of its 2021’s OLED TV lineup. While LG had actually included the 48-inch option for last year’s CX series, it was not released in Malaysia. As shown above, the 48-inch LG C1 has actually made its first public appearance in Malaysia at the recent Home Design & Interior Exhibition (HOMEDEC) late last month through a collaboration with HLK Chain Store....

The V25 cameras use an entirely new design that was influenced by professional twin-lens reflex cameras. You can get a hint of the great photographic capabilities buried inside thanks to the simplistic design and white space between pieces, alongside some major internal upgrades. However, we can’t say that we weren’t expecting this since the vivo V series is no stranger to substantial improvements in the “camera area.” We’re talking about an all-rounder here, with updates to the front and rear cameras....

In terms of battery life, Logitech says that the G913 can sustain itself for up to 135 days of non-stop gaming, provided that its LIGHTSYNC RGB lighting is switched off....

As the airline explains, with its current manpower, it is having trouble in “addressing the surge in customer queries”. This is despite having increased its contact centre customer service headcount, now having more than doubling the manpower since February of this year. Though the national carrier says that this is something that every airline in the world is experiencing right now. Image: Wikimedia Commons. According to Bernama, Malaysia Airlines CEO Izham Ismail also says that the company is taking active measures to minimise inconveniences that customers may experience, and will continue to improve its service delivery....
