Navarra credited the discovery to Qatar-based Twitter user Yasser Masood (@YasserM86) who also supplied screenshots showcasing the new feature. As seen from the screenshots, tweets that include links to product pages will feature a new layout which now displays the product’s name and price, the corresponding store’s name, and a large blue shop button. When approached by TechCrunch, Twitter confirmed that it is indeed developing and trialling this new e-Commerce tool as a way to easily connect users and businesses via the platform....

To be precise, the researchers simply referred to the vulnerabilities as “different attack methods”, known officially on paper as SGAxe and CrossTalk. The flaw also affects Intel CPUs launched between 2015 and 2019. As per their report, SGAxe looks and functions similarly to the CacheOut attack that also came to light last year. Where hackers would exploit the processor’s L1 cache to gain access and extract information. In this case, SGAxe was described as the fruit of Intel’s failure to mitigate side-channel attacks against Software Guard Extensions (SGX); by executing what is called a “transient execution attack”, an attacker is technically able to recover the cryptographic keys stored within the SGX....

According to Chinese website Mydrivers, Xiaomi has allegedly settled to debut both models on 12 December. Which kind of makes sense, given that the date falls on the 12th day of the 12th month of the year – well, you get the idea. It is also not uncommon for the brand to launch its latest heavy hitters before the year ends. The Xiaomi Mi 11, its current generation flagships, launched in China on 28 December of last year....

For starters, the telco has confirmed it will not invest in DNB just like what has been claimed by the Reuters report.

Like Grab in Malaysia (and elsewhere), Uber officially maintains that its drivers aren’t employees, but third-party contractors. That changed last month in the UK at least when a ruling by the country’s Supreme Court prodded the company to reclassify its drivers as workers. — BBC News (World) (@BBCWorld) April 2, 2021 The woman, Lisa Irving, asserted that she was verbally abused by some of the drivers over her guide dog....

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said in an earning calls that “when you come early on the next-generation of consoles, you can sell your games for a long time”. He also said that the games will make use of all the new features that come with the next-gen machines. These include better performance and download speeds, the former which some developers say is an underappreciated fact.

True to the leak, unifi Air is a wireless solution that is priced at RM 79 per month for existing Streamyx customers. It also doesn’t come with any quota and is claimed to be able to deliver a stable speed of 20Mbps.

For those who don’t want to be tied to the contract or already have their own LTE router, they can also choose to obtain the stand-alone unifi Air SIM card....

The lawsuit was dismissed by a US District Court Judge based in the Northern District of California at the behest of NVIDIA, on the grounds that it was lacking evidence to prove the plaintiff’s claim. Specifically, the lawsuit accuses NVIDIA of under-reporting its revenue generated from the cryptocurrency surge of 2018 by around US$1.13 billion (~RM4.65 billion). Not only that, the lawsuit also says that the company hid those profits by claiming that approximately 70% of its GPU sales were “gaming revenue”....

Washington announced the tariffs but then immediately suspended them, obviously intent on using them as a bargaining chip in ongoing international tax negotiations. According to Reuters, the US Trade Representative (USTR) office has accused the UK, Italy, Spain, Turkey, India, and Austria of discriminating against US firms with their respective digital taxes. — United States Trade Representative (@USTradeRep) June 2, 2021 If negotiations fail, the US would impose 25% tariffs on roughly US$887 million (~RM3....

This particular problem was first reported by the Mozilla team last year after completing an experiment to see if three-digit version numbers would affect sites, which turned out to be the case. According to the test results, major sites including HBO Go, Bethesda, and Yahoo would encounter rendering issues, parsing failures, 403 errors, display “browser not supported” messages, and so on. As it turns out, this isn’t the first time that such a similar issue has occurred for web browsers....

According to Reuters, both companies are currently engaged in advanced talks. If an agreement is reached, both companies could be looking at a stock merger worth US$20 billion (~RM83 billion). Additionally, the merger would make a new entity that will be almost as big as Samsung. As a quick recap, Kioxia was once a part of Toshiba Memory but gained its independence back in 2019. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and global chip shortage, the memory maker has been slowly foundering and forced to seek outside aid to help it out of its dire straits....

Prior to this, NVMe SSD was only offered by WD as part of the Black series which is designed for performance (we reviewed one before) while the Blue series offerings were limited to SATA interface. Hence, SN500 generally helps elevate the WD Blue series and allows customers to obtain NVMe SSD at a lower price point at the same time. That being said, the performance level between WD Blue and WD Black NVMe solid state drives are still worlds apart....

So, for the sake of getting the answer to that question, we decided to try out this service. Surprisingly enough, it’s more convenient than you might think, though it does have its limits. Firstly, the intercity deliveries are only done once a week on Wednesdays with a single slot for 5:00-5:30 PM, so it’s definitely not something you should use in order to satisfy your on-the-spot cravings. One convenient thing is that you can pre-order up to 30 days in advance, which is very useful if you plan to serve a roomful of Penang foodies at a party....
