Among Us community director Victoria Tran tweeted that while the mechanics being similar are fine, they wished that Epic Games would have switched the names up a bit. According to PC Gamer, she also confirmed that the Fortnite Impostors mode was not the result of a collaboration with Among Us studio Innersloth. Studio co-founder Marcus Bromander echoed the sentiment, and later tweeted that they have been trying to get a collaboration going with Epic....

Currently, when an app developer wants to hike up prices of subscriptions for existing subscribers, users must agree to the hike manually or their subscription will be cancelled automatically. With the change, subscribers will only be notified of the price change before their next billing period and the higher price will be charged automatically. Is this new behavior for everyone or exclusive to Disney+? pic.twitter.com/zt7c15QcTA — Max Seelemann (@macguru17) March 24, 2022 That being said, Apple will make it easy to cancel the subscription altogether if they are not happy with the price hike....

This also applies to both the conventional HSBC and the Islamic HSBC Amanah cards. Based on the information on its website, HSBC Malaysia currently offers customers a total of eight credit cards: HSBC Advance Visa PlatinumHSBC Amanah MPower VisaHSBC Amanah MPower Visa PlatinumHSBC Amanah Premier World MastercardHSBC Premier Travel MastercardHSBC Premier World MastercardHSBC Visa PlatinumHSBC Visa Signature [Image: HSBC Malaysia.]To use your HSBC or HSBC Amanah credit cards for Apple Pay, you must first add them to the Wallet app....

Apple certainly has plenty of subscription services under its wings at the moment including Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple TV+, and Apple News+ as well as additional iCloud storage options. So, having access to subscription bundles could be an attractive option for many customers out there. Not only just for convenience sake but also in terms of financial benefit, since the report stated that the pricing for the subscription bundles is slightly lower than signing up for each service individually....

This, of course, raised alarms for security researchers as it could be a slippery slope, opening the door to surveillance of millions of people’s personal devices. This is quite the turnaround from Apple’s previous stance with giving law enforcement access, especially when it famously butt heads with the FBI in 2016 where the agency requested access to a terror suspect’s iPhone. Company CEO Tim Cook said at the time that the FBI’s request was “chilling” and would undeniably create a backdoor for more government surveillance....

Specifically, Apple’s lawsuit describes Corellium’s service as an “illegal replication” of its mobile operating system and apps that are designed to run on its iPhone, iPad, and other devices. Further, the brand from Cupertino also alleges that Corellium makes unlicensed copies of its newest iOS versions, as soon as they are officially available. To be fair, Corellium’s existence and how the company to be isn’t what normal folk would describe as typical....

For those who are unfamiliar with Apple Watch, the smartwatch not only comes in different case sizes but also has multiple types of construction materials and straps. Hence, we have dived into the Apple Watch Studio to go through every case and band combination for Series 7 that Apple has listed for our market. These are what we ended up with: Apple Watch Series 7 41mm Aluminium Case Solo Loop / Sport Band / Sport Loop / Nike Edition: RM1,749 (Wi-Fi) / RM2,199 (Cellular) Braided Solo Loop / Leather Link / Milanese Loop: RM1,999 / RM2,449 Leather Band with Modern Buckle: RM2,149 / RM2,599 Stainless Steel Silver Link Bracelet: RM2,949 / RM3,399 Stainless Steel Space Black Link Bracelet: RM3,349 / RM3,799 Apple Watch Series 7 45mm Aluminium Case Solo Loop / Sport Band / Sport Loop / Nike Edition: RM1,899 (Wi-Fi) / RM 2,349 (Cellular) Braided Solo Loop / Leather Link / Milanese Loop: RM2,149 / RM2,599 Stainless Steel Silver Link Bracelet: RM3,099 / RM3,549 Stainless Steel Space Black Link Bracelet: RM3,499 / RM3,949 Apple Watch Series 7 41mm Stainless Steel Case Solo Loop / Sport Band / Sport Loop: RM2,999 Braided Solo Loop / Leather Link / Milanese Loop: RM3,249 Leather Band with Modern Buckle: RM3,399 Stainless Steel Silver Link Bracelet: RM4,199 Stainless Steel Space Black Link Bracelet: RM4,599 Apple Watch Series 7 45mm Stainless Steel Case Solo Loop / Sport Band / Sport Loop: RM3,249 Braided Solo Loop / Leather Link / Milanese Loop: RM3,499 Stainless Steel Silver Link Bracelet: RM4,449 Stainless Steel Space Black Link Bracelet: RM4,849 As it turns out, all of the pricing above is identical to the launch price of Series 6 that was made available in Malaysia last year....

In case you missed our previous report, the Ultra is essentially the most rugged Apple Watch to date. Featuring a 49mm case which was made from aerospace-grade aluminium, the smartwatch has also been equipped with a flat sapphire crystal to protect its Retina display that has double the maximum brightness level of the Apple Watch Series 8. [Image: Apple.][Image: Apple.]Aside from having a larger physical presence, you can easily recognise Ultra by its protruding side button....

The ASRock X670E in question is the Pro RS model but despite the product page being live, details about the motherboard have been kept to a minimal. For starters, the specifications you see on the main page is currently all you get; there’s usually a detailed specifications sheet included in a separate tab, but seeing how AMD’s AM5 chipset is yet to be readily available, it’s understandable that ASRock would withhold some information from consumers....

There’s really nothing much to say about Assassin’s Creed 2 that hasn’t been said before. The first part of a trilogy, and the only entry in the series to be one, the game tells the early years of Ezio Auditore da Firenze in his ascent to be the Mentor of the Italian Assassin Order. Alongside Assassin’s Creed 2, Ubisoft is also giving Child of Light and Rayman legends away for free on Uplay....

At the time of writing, the price of the game on Steam is a hilarious RM345000. This makes it thousands of times more expensive than the other titles in the series. Made even more hilarious is the Assassin’s Creed bundle on the storefront. It features three other entries in the series, showing the stark contrast in prices. And it doesn’t look to be just Malaysia either. According to SteamDB, the price of Assassin’s Creed Unity is messed up across multiple regions....

We’re not being sexist here, while there are many theories out there to the existence of the Gräfenberg spot (popularly known as the G-spot), to come up with #GSpot as the name of a show is quite brazen. Maybe, it was a quick idea from an intern, shorten Gempak Spot to #GSpot – but, hash tagging #GSpot on social media brings up everything NSFW that you would not want to see!...

The service disruption faced during rainfall is usually caused by a natural phenomenon called rain fade whereby the satellite signal is absorbed by rain which leads to signal degradation. In certain cases, strong wind may also shift the user’s satellite dish from its original optimised position and would affect the signal quality as well. Astro Ultra Plug & Play Box overcame these potential issues by obtaining 100% of its contents through the Internet....

One of the most important physical updates to the Zenbook lineup, regardless of the series, is the implementation of the OLED display across the board. This is part of ASUS’ effort to standardise the panel across all its products, much like it has with its ROG gaming laptop line. Moving down the list, we’ll start with the Zenbook Pro series, and first on the list is, of course, a new laptop model joining the Zenbook rank: the Zenbook Pro 16X OLED....

In this lightning review, we’ll be taking a look at the ROG Maximus XII Extreme, the brand’s top-of-the-line, feature-packed, and by far priciest game-ready motherboard in its arsenal. What Is It? The ROG Maximus XII Extreme is an Intel Z490 motherboard, designed to accommodate the semiconductor brand’s new 10th generation Comet Lake-S Core series CPUs. Also, if it wasn’t clear at the start, the motherboard also features a new LGA 1200 chipset....

Like all the other Zephyrus gaming laptops that came before it, the G14 is very thin, and as light as it looks. And because it has a 14-inch display with thin bezels, its overall footprint is more akin to what you’d expect from a 13-inch laptop. I’d go as far as to say that this is the perfect size for laptops, but that’s just me. On the front, when you pop the lid up, you’ll be glad to know that the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 looks a lot more like an ordinary laptop compared to its predecessors....

After the investment, SoftBank will hold 23.07% of ADA’s shares, valuing it at RM1.07 billion (US$260 million). Axiata Digital Services will remain as ADA’s majority shareholder at 63.47%. According to Axiata, ADA is the largest independent digital, analytics, and marketing company in nine countries across South and Southeast Asia. Moving forward, SoftBank will establish ADA as its core digital and data marketing partner in Asia. The Japanese firm wants to leverage its network of portfolio companies in proposing and providing digital marketing solutions that make use of ADA’s proprietary technologies and consumer AI models....

One of the many odd decisions made by director Zack Snyder and writers David S. Goyer and Chris Terrio in the second DCEU film is, of course, the death of Superman. But before I get into why that’s an odd choice, let’s see what Snyder himself had to say in a live commentary for the film this past weekend. Per THR: The film begins and ends with a death, that of the Waynes, and that of Superman....

Hudson was the director of the Mass Effect trilogy. So a tweet from him will unsurprisingly stir up the rumour mill. And especially with a tweet like the one he put up, with lines like “so many ideas for things we want to do”, and “so much concept art that hasn’t yet been brought to life, and so many stories yet to tell”. — Casey Hudson (@CaseyDHudson) November 7, 2019 Also, as part of the tweet, Hudson posted four of what looks like concept art for the Mass Effect series....

Over at the game’s official YouTube channel, Game Science has published a short film in conjunction with the upcoming Lunar New Year of the rabbit. You may find certain parts of the short film funny, but it is otherwise pretty inane, save for the very end when it reveals the release window for Black Myth: Wukong. And it’s quite the distant window of summer 2024, which is anywhere between late June and late September....
