One highlight here is naturally, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Across its many different editions, the Ubisoft has slashed the price for the game by 75%. This means you can get the Ultimate Edition of the game for RM89.75. The same goes for Assassin’s Creed Origins, which has an 80% discount currently going on. This means the priciest Gold Edition can be bought at RM57. Ubisoft is also slashing the prices of DLCs, which are rarely offered at a discount....

The app’s developers say that one element that sets the CovidSense app apart from others is that it doesn’t collect and store user information unless provided voluntarily. If provided, the details will only be accessible to the authorities. CovidSense also allows its users to perform self-screening tests by answering 12 yes-or-no questions related to COVID-19 symptoms. The app will then present the user with a risk-of-infection score. If a user is determined to be at intermediate or high risk, they are then prompted to contact the National Crisis Preparedness and Emergency Response Centre (CPRC)....

True to the leak that we’ve seen last year, the unifi Plus Box is designed to deliver not only Full HD content but also 4K content. TM have yet to list down what are the 4K contents that are going to be available through the new unifi Plus Box although we know there’s the Love Nature 4K channel which can be accessed through channel 502. Other than that, the unifi Plus Box also comes with several pre-installed video streaming apps including iflix, dimsum, BBC Player, YuppTV, and Viu....

Based on an early look of the beta by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp will only allow linking to devices connected via the desktop and web versions of the service, as well as on Facebook’s Portal application. These include laptops and computers (Macs included), but not mobile phones or tablets. The latter being the more desired option as users have been asking for a way to carry over their chats to a secondary smartphone without having to only use WhatsApp on one handset at a time....

Hand tracking on the Quest headsets is pretty useful, especially if you wish to control its interface or certain apps without having to pick up the accompanying controllers. However, it is far from perfect, sometimes failing to register fast movements or gesture commands; leading to moments of frustration. This update aims to rectify that and more, according to Meta’s latest blog post. Version 2.0 promises more consistent tracking, enabling for a more smoother, accurate, and responsive experience....

UPM research group head Dr. Mohammad Jawaid said the innovation, known as Techno Economic Hard Body Armor, has been tested at the Science & Technology Research Institute For Defence (STRIDE) facility in Selangor.

The announcement was issued during US secretary of commerce Gina Raimondo’s visit to the country. Both she and Malaysian international trade and industry minister Azmin Ali met with local semiconductor industry representatives earlier today. Raimondo said both governments had a “broad ranging discussion” with the representatives, including to cut out redundancy in investments and to boost supplies. — Mohamed Azmin Ali 🇲🇾 (@AzminAli) November 18, 2021 “Given Malaysia’s critical role in global supply chains for semiconductors, electronics, health products, and other key goods,” said the joint statement....

In a tweet, Valve said the Index VR kits will become available again starting 1AM of 10 March, after adjusting for time zone differences. Despite this, the supply of the headsets looks to be quite limited still. YouTuber Nintendrew shared on Twitter an email he got from Valve, stating that the company expects the VR headsets to sell out soon after it becomes available again. — Valve (@valvesoftware) March 4, 2020 Since it was first announced back in May last year, the Valve Index never really much public interest....

Steam Link Anywhere is still in its beta stage, but it should provide gamers with relatively decent streaming experience. Prior to this, the app only allowed users to stream their game on an Android device connected to the same network as their host PC. The feature supports Android device, as well as discontinued Steam Link hardware. It goes without saying that the most crucial requirement for Steam Link Anywhere is a solid network connection....

Soon after, Reddit user 2flock posted a message on the forum. Confirming Valve’s layoff of half of the VR hardware team. — Nat Brown (@natbro) March 7, 2019 To some, the message is deemed as credible, simply because 2flock was also responsible for leaking photos of Valve’s supposed prototype VR Head Mounted Display (HMD). Another former Valve VR team member, Nat Brown also took it to Twitter to confirm his departure from Valve....

While both the standard and Pro variants of V15 are equipped with the same 32MP pop-up selfie camera, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB internal storage, there are several traits that differentiate them apart.

Similarly, the main camera on V15 features a 24MP sensor while the V15 Pro offers a 48MP snapper instead even though both models still carry the same additional 8MP and 5MP cameras....

Specifically, these two voices will only be available until 31 October. This is in conjunction with the upcoming Batman Day (yes, that’s apparently a thing), which falls on 21 September. Batman himself will be voiced by Kevin Conroy, who has not only played the character in movies, but also the video games like the Arkham series. The Riddler’s voice will also be familiar if you’ve played the Batman Arkham games, as Wally Wingert reprises his role for this special navigation voice....

Starting with the first one, emoji reactions are about as straightforward as it gets. Rather than reply to a message with an emoji, you can pin that emoji straight to the message that made you feel any particular emotion. This feature has been available on Meta’s Facebook Messenger for awhile now, so it’s nice to see it finally make the transition to WhatsApp. And it will be particularly useful to keep chats less cluttered when there are more people in it....

WABetaInfo reports that the messaging app has a new beta version submitted to the Google Play Beta Program. The new version number is 2.19.80, and in it, two key new features are being highlighted – Forwarding Info and Frequently Forwarded.

The idea might be simple but not the execution since users have to open up Message Info in order to see it....

It turns out that the Mi Band X is merely a made-up product created for a Xiaomi training program for new employees. This was made known by the brand’s public relations executive Wang Hua on Weibo, who added that the program includes various exercises that require staff to prepare the overall planning, marketing strategies, selling point refinement, and so on for a mock product.

Just to recap, the Chinese release of the Xiaomi Mi Watch Color features a 1.39-inch circular AMOLED display with a resolution of 454 x 454 pixels. It is also water-resistant with a rating of 5 ATM, and features a 420mAh battery that is claimed to last up to 14 days on a full charge....

— Agatha Tang (@aggasaurus) June 11, 2020 ORIGINAL STORY (2:16 PM): These days, a product getting a special collaboration with a series from popular culture is quite the common sight.

In one of the video teasers posted on Weibo, it appears that the Mi Watch will be running on a smartwatch-based variant of Xiaomi’s MIUI. That said, it is still unclear if this version of MIUI will be based on Wear OS, given that the watch will also be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear 3100 SoC. Further, one of Xiaomi’s product manager hinted that the Mi Watch possibly being small form factor smartphone as well....
