For the uninitiated, Crash to Desktop is when programs running on your PC unexpectedly and abruptly crash and simply taking you back to your desktop, without any warning. Why this happens can be attributed to a variety of reasons, but in this case, it’s the custom-cooled RTX 3080 graphics cards of NVIDIA’s AiB partners that have been determined as the cause. Existence of the crashing issue was first brought to light by a user over at LinusTechTips, which was then picked up by the German-based sites ComputerBase and Igor’s Lab....

Hishammuddin said he is confident that Malaysia’s relevant intelligence agencies are prepared for any eventuality that could come from the breached data, although he did not clarify what specific mechanisms would prevent the data from being misused.

To recap, the PPN is a four-phase exit strategy with the aim of gradually pushing Malaysia out of the Covid-19 crisis....

Destiny 2 dataminer @GinsorKR shared on Twitter a screenshot showing a Warlock, a Titan and a Hunter, sporting what looks to be Fortnite skins. Specifically, the Black Knight, Catalyst and Omega skins, but its own twist to fit the game.

To be fair, the app’s co-founders, Jason Citron and Stanislav Vishnevskiy, had said that the changes to Discord is less of a rebranding and more of an effort to streamline the company’s image. Specifically, the brand is launching a new website, as well as a brand new tagline: Your place to talk. Discord first came on to the scene in 2015. Originally created to connect gamers and enable them to bond over game-related topics, the popularity of the app’s VoIP technology exploded exponentially and now boasts more than 100 million monthly active users....

In his unboxing video, it is revealed that the DualSense packaging only includes the controller itself and an instruction manual. As noted by Evans, a USB-C cable was not included in the box – much like its predecessors, the DualShock 3 and DualShock 4. Rather than including a charging cable for these controllers, Sony recommends users to use the ones provided with the console instead. It’s not entirely a deal breaker for the DualSense, considering that most users might own more than one USB-C cable by now....

Musk also noted that the (Bitcoin) payment option would be expanded outside the US sometime later this year....

We didn’t get answers until Spider-Man: Far From Home, which named the reappearance ‘blip’ and showed us that those who got dusted indeed reappeared at the exact same spot. We see a bunch of students get dusted during a high school basketball match, only to reappear 5 years later on the basketball court during another match. It’s an incredibly funny scene, but also one that may have created more plot holes....

Like Steam, the Epic Games Store will be selling games from every publisher, not just its own. But if there is one important difference between them, it’s the cut that they take. Steam usually takes a 30% cut in sales, and it recently announced the cut will be reduced to 20% if the game made more than US$50 million (~RM207.675 million) in revenue. Epic Games, on the other hand, announced that it will only be taking 12%....

The alternative currency has become the second cryptocurrency to see its value hit a new milestone in its value after Bitcoin, which also saw its value rise exponentially in the last month, from an average of RM74000 to nearly RM144000, at the time of writing.

Back at the end of 2017, the cryptocurrency’s value peaked at the RM80000, before it took a plunge and hovered between RM20000 and RM50000 for a couple of years....

As part of this, communications will also be made end-to-end encrypted by default. This is a key feature of WhatsApp, and it’s only natural that this feature is extended to the two other apps as well. Asha Sharma, Messenger’s head of consumer product, said that calling and sending texts to your contacts will be seamless, regardless of which platform they’re a contact of. That said, she did not say if there will be an option for those who insist on knowing which platform their contact is registered in....

Although no specific date was mentioned.

The Financial Times reports that the Libra Association plans to launch a single stablecoin that’s worth exactly US$1 (~RM4.07). For those unfamiliar with the term, stablecoins are cryptocurrencies that do not fluctuate in value against real-world money. Overall, this launch is very small in scale, at least compared to what the Libra Association initially planned. Initially, the association wanted to release more stablecoins based on other currencies too, such as the Euro and the British Pound....

The feature was first spotted by Jane Manchun Wong, who tweeted about it back in October last year. Quite fittingly, it really is dark. While it’s easy on the eyes especially when used in the dark, being completely in the black may not work for some. previously: https://t.co/vT6WoKikPm pic.twitter.com/A6ETE45BPN — Jane Manchun Wong (@wongmjane) October 5, 2018 But from the look of things, people do want the dark mode, and the sooner the better....
