The early critical success of Joker has led people to wonder if Warner Bros would slowly bleed this film and its characters into the DC Extended Universe? After all, the likes of Aquaman and Shazam has shown us that there is a way to make standalone movies that also fit into the larger universe. However, it looks like that’s not going to happen. In an interview with Variety, director Todd Phillips was asked if he saw the worlds of Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker and Robert Pattinson’s The Batman colliding any time soon....

According to JPJ Director-General Zailani Hashim, the process will involve officers observing students from a control room, which will reduce the number of officers needed to conduct the tests and free up manpower for enforcement. Only the track portion of the driving test will shift towards e-Testing, while the theoretical and practical classes, as well as the road test, will remain the same. The system will continue to use the current six-point physical driving tests such as uphill driving, parking, and three-point turn....

According to the minister, as we transition to endemicity, nearly 98% of active COVID-19 cases only have to quarantine themselves at home. He attributes this to the success of the national immunisation program (PICK). More specifically, of the currently active cases, 97.6% have to only quarantine at home, with two percent being quarantined in hospitals, 0.2% at quarantine and treatment centres, 0.1% in intensive care units without ventilators and another 0....

The announcement was made via Microsoft’s Insider Program Team’s official blog via an updated Windows 11 build, codenamed 22000.282. The build was released to its Insiders who have access to both Beta and Release Preview channels. As is the nature of all updates, the build is chock-full with updates, patches, and fixes, chief among them being a solution for the current L3 caching issue. That is currently plaguing AMD Ryzen-based systems....

While equity fundraising is not something that is out of the ordinary within the tech scene, what made this announcement rather interesting is the lead entity that was involved in it. As it turns out, Lazada Group has led this round of equity funding while TNG Digital’s parent company, Touch ‘n Go itself has also made a follow-on investment. That being said, TNG Group did not reveal the exact amount of investment that each party has made into TNG Digital though....

And yes, what you read wasn’t a typo. Shoe, as in singular and not plural. So if you’re thinking of building it as a pair… Well, this is what LEGO said on its website, “Right or left? You choose. Or buy a second set and build both.” Ouch. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. More on that later. Anyway, the LEGO Adidas Originals Superstar kit consists of a total of 731 bricks, including extra pieces that will enable you to build either the right or left version of the shoe....

ORIGINAL STORY (24 JUNE 2020, 6:30PM): Lenovo officially announced its new ThinkPad E series notebooks, the E14 and E15. Both notebooks are designed and catered towards the professional workforce but more importantly, they are also powered by AMD’s latest Ryzen 4000 mobile series processors. As with all ThinkPads, both the E14 and E15 notebooks are fitted with Lenovo-centric features that are typical with the lineup. To start, both models feature the brand’s Precision Keyboard, Touchpad and TrackPoint technology, along with a ThinkShutter cover for the front-facing HD camera at the top of the display....

The Lenovo VR Classroom 2 doesn’t have to be plugged to a phone or PC, since it’s a standalone headset kit. This is quite like the Mirage Solo that was announced two years ago. But unlike the Mirage Solo, it doesn’t make use of Google’s Daydream VR platform. Instead, it uses the company’s own proprietary platfrom. It is also made for the purposes of education, rather than the general consumer....

The phone was listed previously on TENAA, the Chinese certification body as the Lenovo L78071. The specs list features a 6.3-inch display, a triple camera arrangement, a 3210mAh battery, but no processor nor RAM/storage information. Although it’s rumoured that the phone will house Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8150 SoC, making it a flagship-level smartphone. Further, the existence of the phone was confirmed by Lenovo VP Chang Cheng directly on Weibo, so its existence is no longer vague....

“The Vietnamese government and Vingroup have been seeking to expand into high-tech industries and to boost local job creation. Also premium demand in the region including in Vietnam, Myanmar and Thailand is high,” a top industry official explained to The Korea Times. He added, “They are only seeking to purchase the manufacturing facilities, while LG plans to continue its R&D, but with a reduced staff that will be stationed here at its Korean headquarters....

In reality, it does sound a little more impressive than it actually is. The case of the LG Tone Free HBS-FN6 comes with a case that has ultraviolet light emitters built into it. And it’s this that does the cleaning, which the company says gets rid of 99.9% of E. coli and S. aureus bacteria. As for the earbuds themselves, both the Tone Free HBS-FN6 and HBS-FN4 come with a battery life of up to six hours....

But starting from there, Vircle is for parents who are worried about the transmission of the disease via banknotes and coins. But in addition to that, the e-wallet also gives parents more transparency and control over their children’s spending. Not only do parents get to see what their children spend their money on, they can also approve or deny transactions. Vircle says this lets parents monitor what their children spend on at school....

In regards to its specifications, the reworked G303 Shroud Edition Wireless more or less retains the same shape and outline of the original Daedalus Apex, the main difference being that this version of the mouse has been crafted and resized to his hand, as well as his touch, literally. Of course, one major change to the peripheral’s function is that it is now fully wireless. On that note and getting under the hood, the G303 Shroud Edition Wireless has been fitted with Logitech G’s LIGHTSPEED wireless technology, which delivers ultra-low latency....

In addition to the US$89 million, Logitech supposedly promised an additional US$29 million (~RM121 million) in stock to Streamlabs. Should the latter manage to reach a specific KPI in revenue for its new owners. At current, Streamlabs says that it has approximately 1.6 million streamers using its tools on a monthly basis, with over 161 million hours having been streamed through OBS. To be clear, that number is not inclusive of its mobile streaming app, of which it is said to have around 48000 active users....

The opening credits of the film reintroduces us to Najib, the villainous Kleptocrat, through stylistically rendered animation. It’s still surreal that the man syphoned around close to 3 billion ringgit of the public’s money into his personal accounts. We then see him pass sarcastic remarks about Bersih, mocking — in his words — the “fragile people who collapsed on the road just by getting hit by a little bit of tear gas....

To put it simply, this allows you to change your flight date and destination for an unlimited number of times. You can also book an earlier flight on the same day at no extra cost. But, as you’d expect, there are conditions for each of this. Malaysia Airlines say that this Unlimited Flexibility perk only applies to flights booked on 31 March 2020 or earlier. Any rebooking of flights, on the other hand, must be done by 31 May, while the travel dates must be on or before 31 December....

In the upper bracket, it will be a case of Singapore vs Singapore and Malaysia vs Malaysia. First off, we have EVOS Esports SG going up against Resurgence, both of whom are high profile Singaporean teams that were a force to be reckoned with last season and will be in the MPL playoffs for the second season in a row. The overarching story of last season was the general dominance of the singaporean teams throughout the competition, only for them to ultimately be defeated by Malaysian team Geek Fam in the playoffs....

And as far as features go, it may as well be an exclusive to the PS4 version of the game. This is because the PS5 version of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales does not have a loading screen. And this is because the load times are so short, it’s not practical to expect anyone to be able to read them in that time. Such is the promise of the new generation consoles....

Users can upload photos and videos of past moments – especially those featuring the patient – onto the app, which then can be used with its captioned galleries and Augmented Reality (AR) functions. According to Maxis, media is uploaded via the app to its unlimited cloud storage, which also allows other family members to access RE:collection through a shared account. The app’s Family Mode functions as a gallery that stores photos and videos of the patient’s family members and memories which can be captioned, categorised, and even have respective family members tagged on them as reference....

Interesting enough, that amount is already 20.4% higher than the total amount of compound that MCMC issued to local telcos for the whole 2018 which was said to be RM 3.18 million. Out of these 107 compounds, 44 were issued within April and July 209 with YTL Communications being the biggest offender through 15 compounds that costs the company RM 750,000. Symphonet also received 15 compounds but with a much lower fine of RM 150,000....
