In addition, the service will also give subscribers “earliest available access” to the latest titles, such as the recently announced Watch Dogs: Legion and Ghost Recon Breakpoint. To sweeten the pot even further, a subscription to Uplay+ will also give players access to all available for DLCs and expansions of each related titles....

The social media giant stated that it is intended to support creators and small businesses who wish to organise live events such as performances, classes and professional conferences on the platform. However, no details or guidelines regarding this feature just yet and its roll-out is said to arrive in the “coming weeks.” The company added that Facebook Live will also see the return of its Live With feature. For those unfamiliar, this feature allows users to add another person into your live broadcast, which is pretty handy for podcasts or interview sessions....

This new feature provides you the ability to limit replies to only people that you follow and mention, and also to those who are included in the conversation. Users could also post up a new form of tweet called Statement that can not be replied by other users on Twitter. Other improvements coming to the platform include conversation view with threading, as well as discussion interface for certain topics. Other than that, Twitter is also providing an improved lists feature which provides users a convenient way of customising and finding useful listings on the platform....

According to the US Commerce Department, it immediately put the ban in place after it received news that SMIC technology could be used for Chinese military purposes. In conjunction, a defence contractor based in the US also claimed that university researchers with links to the military were designing projects based on SMIC technology. The move also comes as a surprise to SMIC, to say the least, saying that it received no prior notice and repeatedly denies having any links to the Chinese military....

A preliminary injunction is a temporary order made by a court at the request of one party that prevents the other from pursuing a particular course of conduct until the conclusion of a trial on the merits. In Xiaomi’s case, is the US Department of Defense’s now-barred restrictions which were supposed to be placed in effect next week. Contreras said that such actions will likely bring “irreparable harm” to the company....

The row between the US President and Twitter began after the former posted a tweet about Mail-In Ballots within the US, stating that using such a method would ultimately lead to a “Rigged Election” that wouldn’t be in his favour. Due to the nature of his claim, Twitter began putting a warning label under such messages and even linked it to page that debunks the claim. Under the new executive order, social media platforms would effectively be stripped of some legal protections provided to them in specific situations, listed under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act....

But let’s start with the obvious ones on the Steam Awards list. Steam users have voted Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice as their Game of the Year. Not exactly surprising, as it topped multiple Best of 2019 charts, as well as taking the same title during The Game Awards 2019. Other entries include Resident Evil 2 remake and Star Wars Jedi; Fallen Order. It’s also nice to see Devil May Cry 5 getting the recognition it deserves by being on this list....

Visa’s decision comes directly after the launch of the pilot program, where it is also partnering up with the Swiss-based Crypto.com. Visa’s move to embrace cryptocurrency is surprising yet expected; it is surprising because, back in 2019, the company was one of several major financial institutions that extended support for Facebook’s Libra, and then back out of the plan months after its pledge. That said, Visa’s return to the crypto-fold is expected, considering how several major brands and bigwigs have begun embracing cryptocurrency....

According to Visa’s Consumer Payment Attitudes study, over four in 10 Malaysians shopped online for the first time, and over three in 10 made their first purchase online using social media channels. Furthermore, 88% of Malaysians used home delivery services – of which 36% were first-time users. Online shopping through phone apps and websites grew by a staggering 83% while shopping via direct delivery over phone orders increased by 65%....

Prominent leakster Ice Universe claims that Vivo will not launch the Nex 5 this year, but will launch the Nex Fold instead. This is sort of corroborated by display analyst Ross Young, who says in a reply that a January 2022 launch is expected. Not too far a departure, overall. Young also says that it will be the largest in-folding device in terms of panel size. — Ross Young (@DSCCRoss) July 3, 2021 Young’s claim of the Vivo Nex Fold being the largest of its kind means that it will measure over eight inches diagonally....

According to the listings that we’ve dug up through MCMC’s Check Your Label app, the standard vivo X90 (V2218) and the X90 Pro (V2219) received their approvals on 7 and 27 December 2022 respectively. Strangely enough, the series’ top-of-the-line model, the vivo X90 Pro+, is nowhere to be found. That being said, it is possible that this particular variant has yet to be evaluated by SIRIM, considering the fact that the Pro model received its approval 20 days after the standard X90....

In a tweet, the publisher said that it found an issue with the PC version of Watch Dogs Legion multiplayer that would cause systems with certain GPUs to crash. Because of this, Ubisoft is pushing back the release of the mode on PC indefinitely. The company said that it will “communicate the new launch date as soon as possible”. — Watch Dogs: Legion (@watchdogsgame) March 5, 2021 Things aren’t as bad for the console versions of the mode, fortunately, even if the issue sounds similar....

From the report, the edit button allows users to change a message after it has already been sent. This would be quite useful for fixing minor typos instead of just deleting the message for everyone. Of course, it could also be used for pranks or maybe even for manipulative or misleading purposes, which is one of Twitter’s main concerns about adding an edit button. — WABetaInfo (@WABetaInfo) May 31, 2022 Because the feature is still under development, we don’t yet know what the finalised product will look like....

The tool can be accessed within the app by navigating to the Manage Storage menu from the drop down tab. Alternatively, users can immediately access the function by tapping on the in-app notification banner above the chat list when WhatsApp detects that the device’s storage is running low. Once in the Manage Storage menu, the new tool provides users with a device storage indicator bar that displays the device’s overall storage capacity and the amount of space taken by WhatsApp media files....

Andy Foo of Intelligent Earnings Sdn Bhd, the exclusive marketing and sales partner of Black Shark in Malaysia, shared with us during the launch event in Beijing last night that the company aims to begin selling the Black Shark 2 in Malaysia starting 1 April 2019. That said, he did not share with us which configuration will be making it our way, or which colour we will be getting....

To kick off its smart EV effort, Xiaomi has established a new EV subsidiary with an initial investment of CNY 10 billion (~RM 6.3 billion). While the amount seems quite substantial, the company said that the estimated total investment for the EV project over a period of 10 years will be USD 10 billion (~RM 41.5 billion). Xiaomi has also announced that its co-founder as well as current Chairman and CEO, Lei Jun will also become the CEO of the new EV subsidiary....

Hold on…didn’t Xiaomi just recently launched Redmi K20 and K20 Pro which feature such camera? Well, that is indeed true but the teaser image showed a device with physical design that closer to Mi 9 series instead: — Xiaomi (@Xiaomi) May 29, 2019 In case you missed it, there is no display notch on the device shown in the teaser above which we believe is the proof that this upcoming Mi 9 series device will indeed come with a pop up camera....

To utilise this feature, all users got to do is to tap on the mic icon which is situated within the Google search bar and say “What’s this song?” or click the “Search a Song” button. Upon doing so, users can begin humming the melody for about 10-15 seconds for Search to begin tracing the tune. Made possible through machine learning, Google will then present the results in the form of a song list....

The company explained via its official blog that creators are able to stream in the format as long as they are using supported encoders for their setups. These include the Mirillis Action! for software-based encoders and any hardware encoders such as Cobalt and Telestream, or those that feature HDR configurations as well as HLS output. For cameras, on the other hand, users must ensure that their camera includes support for the format with either the PQ or HLG colour standards....

Naturally, Ahmad Idham pretty much got roasted left, right and centre by journalists and the Malaysian community at large, particularly film lovers, for the simple fact that parents can literally filter out content they find inappropriate for their kids, by creating kid/teen-friendly profiles. Parents can also set up digital locks that would require anyone who would like to watch adult content to key in a 4 digit pin code. It’s not rocket science....
