The app in question is simply called Water Resistance Tester by Ray W. The test is also pretty simple. All you have to do is run the app, leave it alone for awhile, then press down on two parts of your phone’s screen when prompted. The way it works is by using the barometer that some phones have, to help track vertical location. If the phone is sealed well enough for water resistance, this will build up pressure inside the phone, which the app will tell you about....

That’s right, the name of the publisher’s military shooter of 2019 will be called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Sources to Kotaku tells that it’s a soft reboot of the first Modern Warfare, and is scheduled for release in fall. As a soft reboot, it kind of explains why Activision chose to do without the number four in the game’s title. It’s along the lines of Sony doing away with the number in the fourth mainline God of War game....

Aside from its speed, another major concern that many have regarding the Broadband Lite 1Mbps plan is its paltry 1GB monthly data quota. While the plan may have been around since 2015, many feel that the 1GB quota is no longer suitable for this age and era. The rest of the Broadband Lite 1Mbps plan remains the same though which include 384kbps upload speed, a 12-month contract, and users’ speed will still be throttled to 128kbps once the 50GB quota has been fully utilised....

This is in addition to the 282000 premises already connected in Sabah, as well as the rollout of 59 fibre connectivity sites at schools in the state which serve as Points of Presence (POPs). All this involves 32000km of fibre optic cables throughout the state. On a related note, the company has over 600000km of fibre optic cables deployed throughout the country, with more to be added as part of the implementation of JENDELA....

The postings are further ‘backed’ by claims that these respected figures have spoken to reputable news agencies around the world and made specific comments about investing on the platform early to ‘bring financial freedom back to the people of Malaysia’. AirAsia has since released an official statement on January 19th denying any association with Crypto Revolt, as well as advising members of the public to disregard the content that is being published on social media channels....

Kamaruddin said the decision was made during a recently held special meeting with the Malaysian National Security Council (MKN), which was chaired by prime minister Ismail Sabri. He further clarified that the reason behind this postponement is to give the government more time to achieve its goal of reaching a vaccination rate of 90% of the Malaysian adult population. Until then, travelling to both Tioman Island and Genting Highlands will only be allowed for fully-vaccinated residents of Pahang from locations that have been declared to be under Phase 3 of the National Recovery Plan (PPN)....

Trump promised that the case would lead to an “end to shadow banning, a stop to the silencing and the cancelling that you know so well”. His legal team, many of whom he said come from the tobacco industry, will file the lawsuits in the Southern District of Florida and hope to obtain class action status with each one. Trump said that he will seek punitive damages from each of the companies....

If you’re wondering how soft blocking is different from regular blocking, it actually doesn’t block users at all, but rather quietly makes the unwanted follower “unfollow” you. Twitter says that such users won’t be notified of the action taken on them. Keep in mind that while you’re essentially removing yourself from their feed, they’ll still have access to your profile and your public tweets. Moreover, they can still follow you back if they realise they’ve been removed....

IGN reports that in addition to delaying Skull & Bones yet again, the publisher has also cancelled three unannounced games. The company attributes all these to it “facing major challenges as the industry continues to shift towards mega-brands and long-lasting titles than [sic] can reach players across the globe, across platforms and business models”. Despite the cancellation of three unannounced games, Ubisoft told investors during a call that it still had “other premium unannounced games, including a large one....

According to the BBC, Britain’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is probing whether the US tech giants have been discouraging competition through their operating systems iOS and Android, respective app stores, and Safari and Chrome web browsers. “The CMA is concerned this could lead to reduced innovation across the sector and consumers paying higher prices for devices and apps, or for other goods and services due to higher advertising prices,” the government authority said in a statement....

That’s where the Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator comes in, and it is free-to-keep for a limited time on Steam. In fact, claim it before 2 February and it will be yours forever. There’s not much else to say about the UEBS. It’s definitely not something you’ll spend endless hours on. And I would imagine its novelty will also wear out very quickly. But if you wanted to see a bunch of animals go at it against another bunch, or a group of human soldiers across history fighting each other, this does just that....

The report says that the country had conducted “large scale attacks against cryptocurrency exchanges”, providing an avenue of generating income that difficult to trace and has even less government oversight. Due to its legality when compared to traditional banking regulations. As to where all that illegally obtained funds go to, it should come as no surprise that all of it is funnelled into a program that North Korea has long been notorious for: it’s nuclear program....

According to Bernama, the library makes use of VR tech and a 3D data management system. The system transforms reference materials in the library like images, anatomical models, electronic books, documents and others in 3D. This is then accessed on a web portal called GoVR via a specialised headset in the IPPT library. USM Vice-Chancellor Faisal Rafiq Mahamad Adikan says that VR tech had vast potential, and that it was making inroads in the mainstream of technology, as reasons why VR was introduced to the university....

News Hub is accessible in the Steam client by selecting “News” under the “Store” category. From there, users will be provided with every major and minor update including patch notes, upcoming releases, event announcements and so on.

Where the older Steam news feed only featured a handful of gaming news sites, the new News Hub feature now allows users to add in content from the Steam Curator system....

Waze users from Malaysia will now be able to receive specific turn-by turn voice navigation and safety tips from the professional voiceover artist herself. She also throws in typical Malaysian utterance style such as “alamak, miss!” or “lubang lagi” when a driver approaches a pothole for an instance, to give navigation a more lighthearted mood. To find Dato Yasmin Yusuff’s voice-over directions, users will first have to tap on the Menu button and then go to Settings within the Waze app....

When you attempt to delete a message on WhatsApp, you will be presented with two options: “Delete for everyone” and “Delete for me”. The former is what you would need to tap to unsend embarrassing messages but it is easy for your finger to slip and delete the text only for yourself. We’ve all been there, but now you can UNDO when you accidentally delete a message for you that you meant to delete for everyone!...

The vulnerability was discovered by PerimeterX researcher Gal Weizman who detailed that hackers could insert malicious JavaScript codes into messages and remotely access files through the outdated WhatsApp client. He explained that the software was running on an older release of Google’s Chromium engine which had not received any current security updates that could prevent potential attacks. Furthermore, Ars Technica added that the desktop version of WhatsApp is built on an Electron framework which easily allowed the developers to port the software on multiple platforms – in this case, Windows and Mac....

When the credits for War of the Planet of the Apes came up, I was in tears and awe. While the possibility of a fourth film was teased out, which I was somewhat excited for, I knew in my heart that it wasn’t really necessary. So when I heard about Fox’s acquisition by Disney came about, I was saddened and relieved at the same time. No more Apes films…until I heard the news....
