In the company’s most recent quarterly report – or the slides for it at least – CDPR says that The Witcher remake will be an “open-world RPG”, and a modern reimagining of the original. Which sounds like something that goes without saying, but it’s important to remember that gaming norms back in 2007 were very different from what they are now. Rather than an expansive world, the original Witcher has its map divided into regions, and each dungeon you enter was its own separate instance....

The Axon S takes inspiration from the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3‘s sliding mechanism, but turned sideways – literally. Both the main camera and front-facing camera array will sit in a sideways slider that pop up when in use. If the image renders are anything to go by, it appears that the display can slide both left and right, with each side exposing the corresponding camera systems. Speaking of cameras, the ones on the Axon S will reportedly include a 48MP, 19MP, and a third unspecified camera that could offer 5x optical zoom....

A week ago, fans who were rooting hard for the 22nd Marvel Cinematic Universe film to topple Avatar were ready to throw in the white flag. If this was a 20-kilometre marathon, Endgame is in its final 200-metre sprint to the finish and there’s no way in hell it was going to make another $US 10 million, let alone $US 37 million. However, six days ago, news dropped that Avengers: Endgame was going to be re-released in cinemas from 29 June 2019 onwards....

In the case of one user who is clearly using the beta version of iOS 14, he found that the TikTok app was consistently logging his content in an interval of a few seconds. To put it in another way, the app was constantly copying and pasting his messages on to the clipboard between an average of one to three keystrokes. The irony in this situation is had he not been using iOS 14 at the time, it’s clear that the app’s shadowy actions would not have been picked up by the current version of iOS....

Our world can be a harsh and cruel place, so why not take a brief reprieve from it in other ones? So without further ado, let’s escape away into the very best fantasy films this age has to offer. 10. Trollhunter (2010) Fantasy films have a unique ability to bring us into worlds that we otherwise wouldn’t have ever imagined or conjured up. They are worlds that intrigue and fascinate us with rich and intricate details....

The price revision, which was announced by health minister Khairy Jamaluddin on 2 September, was initially slated to be implemented tomorrow. He noted that the ceiling price for COVID-19 self-test kits, regardless of brand, will be set at RM19.90 for retail and RM16 for wholesale. However, the change was too sudden and drastic for traders and pharmacy operators, especially those who’ve recently stocked up on kits at prices above the new ceiling price....

According to the minister’s Facebook post, the briefing was presented by EP Korea Railway’s senior managing director, Yoo Jai Tark. The minister also said that the Ministry of Transport will be holding further discussions with the Ministry of Federal Territories “soon” on developing the train system for the Putrajaya area. There will apparently be an emphasis on the way it will integrate with the other transportation systems already in the area....

For those who are not familiar with the brand, Tumi is one of the biggest names in the market when it comes to premium baggage and travel bag. Its new collaboration with Razer may seem to come out of a left-field but truth to be told, Tumi has actually released its own e-sports collection last year. Hence, we can make some educated guesses that the Samsonite subsidiary should know a thing or two about gaming culture....

Like most of her discoveries, Wong found the new feature through a test version that’s not available to the public. Based on the screenshot shared by her, users are given the option to disable mentions altogether or just leave it be via a toggle. Choosing the latter will present two additional options: allow for anyone to mention you, or limit it so that only people you follow are able to do so....

According to Twitter’s analysis, the algorithm favoured women by 8% from demographic parity, and white people by 4%. Demographic parity essentially means that there is no bias, and both groups compared have an equal chance of being highlighted by the algorithm. The company also investigated whether its algorithm sexually objectified women by cropping images to focus on body parts aside from faces. But ultimately, the social media firm found no evidence of this....

A Twitter spokesperson has confirmed to The Verge that Circle is currently only available for certain users globally for testing but didn’t provide any specific scope. To see if you have it, open the tweet composer on Twitter mobile apps or desktop site and check if you have a dropdown menu next to your profile picture that is labelled as “Everyone”. With the feature, you can choose whether to make it available to everyone or just your Circle every time you post something....

Among them is the Unlimited HERO P99 and P139 plans which received 60GB and 100GB quota respectively.

Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves remasters and bundles Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, into one. The former is canonically the last entry of the series, at least the last one featuring series protagonist Nathan Drake. The latter serves as a side story featuring Chloe Frazer, previously a secondary character, as the star of the show. As mentioned earlier, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves is coming to both PS5 and PC....

ORIGINAL STORY (17 Jan / 925PM): While we still on the subject of unifi Basic plan, it turns that quota is not exactly what subscribers of the plan need to be worried about. Well, that is at least until the middle of next month as TM has apparently provided unlimited quota to unifi Basic subscribers in conjunction with New Year and Chinese New Year. Not only that, TM has also uncapped the speed for the unifi Basic plan although the actual ceiling limit was not stated by the company....

For example, unifi Mobile 99 which already comes with unlimited data, calls, and SMSes will be given additional data for its hotspot quota instead. Customers who subscribed this particular plan will automatically receive 20GB for their hotspot quota instead of the standard 10GB quota throughout the promo period. Meanwhile, unifi Mobile 59 and 39 customers will be able to obtain double the amount of their usual quota by purchasing the Double Quota add-on pass through the mobilecare@unifi app....

Apple has filed eight items that appear to be variants of the upcoming Apple Watch Series 6. There are eight items here, split evenly between cellular and GPS-only models. Belonging to the former category are the A2375, A2376, A2355, and A2356, while the A2291, A2292, A2351, and A2352 models represent the latter.

For one, it’s believed to be the successor to the Kirin 710 commonly equipped in midrange devices. Secondly, it’s also the company’s second 7nm chipset. The first is the Kirin 980 which is usually reserved for flagship devices like the P30 series. Specs for the Kirin 810 have not been confirmed, but it’s believed to be an eight-core CPU with an ARM Cortex-A76 custom large core and a Mali-G52 GPU....

FCC chairman Ajit Pai says the decision is the result of “overwhelming weight of evidence”. The argument here hasn’t changed much since last year; both companies can be compelled by the Chinese government to provide “technical support and assistance”. This can be interpreted as having the two companies spy for the government, a claim that both companies have denied. The designation takes immediate effect, which but it remains to be seen if it actually changes the current situation in any way....

The US president has suggested that Twitter should be sued, insinuating that it’s biased. Trump has been consistently vocal about the company censoring conservative views and messages. He claims that the platform made it very hard for people to “join me in Twitter” or “for me to get out the message”. It’s ironic that this is a stance that he adopted after being elected president of the US. If anything, he was reluctant to do the same before his election....

Unliked DisplayPort 2.0, VESA says that 2.1’s alignment will be tightened to run in line with the USB-C specifications or the more modern USB4 link. On another note, DP 2.1 has also been improved to provide greater robustness and enhancements, both to full-sized and Mini DP cable configurations, that enable improved connectivity and longer cable lengths, without the Ultra-High Bit Rate (UHBR) performance being diminished. For context, UHBR cables with a length beyond one metre are known as DP80 cables, while DisplayPort cables with lengths of two metres are also known as DP40 cables....
