According to a report by Business Wire, Hollywood giant Warner Bros. Pictures has plans to adopt an AI-driven project management system developed by Cinelytic Inc. The system will assist the studio in making decisions during the “greenlight process” where it will predict a movie’s revenue, gauge the value of talents, and even determine when a film should premiere. Cinelytic stated that the AI won’t have the final say on whether a movie gets the greenlight or not, and the decision still falls under Warner Bros....

The upcoming May 2019 Update will come with this new feature, adding the option to delay update installations in weekly increments. More specifically, you can defer updates for seven days at a time, up to five times. The “active hours” feature will also be improved. Rather than being manually set, you can let Windows adjust it for you based on your usage patterns. This will hopefully prevent Windows Updates from kicking in before you had a chance to save your work....

As of now, the Redmi Note 8 starts from RM599 for the 4GB+64GB model, while the 4GB+128GB variant will retail for RM699. As for the Redmi Note 8 Pro, the phone with the 64MP main shooter will now retail for RM899. Bear in mind, the phone is only available in a 6GB+128GB variant for our market. To quickly recap, the Redmi Note 8 was announced back in October last year, alongside the big brother Redmi Note 8 Pro....

The first thing that catches the eye is that it’s a pretty thick phone. Not by much when you compare it to other phones, but on its own, this part of it really stands out for some reason. It also has the weight to match, which means it’s not a phone you’ll want to hold in your hand for extended periods of time. Fortunately, the weight distribution on it is well balanced, so it doesn’t add additional strain to your wrist as it sits in your hand....

Equipped with a 5.0-inch HD LCD display, Redmi Go is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 quad-core processor. The variant in Malaysia comes with 1GB RAM and 8GB storage as standard with the support for microSD card with storage up to 128GB. The entry-level dual-SIM phone is also equipped with an 8MP f/2.0 rear camera together with another 5MP f/2.2 camera on its front for selfies.

The update will also be applied to smartphones that ship out with Android 9 Pie (via an OTA update, no doubt), plus devices under the Google Pixel series. To be clear, Google isn’t planning on entirely getting rid of Google Play Music just yet, as the service still isn’t quite ready for people wish to transfer their entire music library over to YouTube Music. YouTube Music first launched in 2015, but has failed to garner much traction since its launch....

To be clear, this new experimental feature is not to be confused with the one that lets you fill up the screen on phones with wider than 16:9 displays. That one has been around for the longest time, is available to everyone, and only works in landscape view. This new pinch-to-zoom, on the other hand, works for both portrait and landscape mode, and allows you to focus on specific parts of a video as if you were zooming in on an image....

ORIGINAL STORY (9:33PM): A change that we probably did not ask for is currently being rolled out to the mobile app version of YouTube. According to MacRumors, the video streaming service has released new update in the US that tweaks the video quality settings to offer more data-friendly options. In the current version of the app, YouTube usually defaults a video’s resolution to “auto”, where its recommended quality is determined based on the speed of the user’s connection....

The LG NanoCell 8K TV is equipped with the α9 Gen3 AI processor along with the brand’s nano-engineering technology, which produces Pure Colors by applying about 1nm-sized nanoparticles to filter out dull colour and enhance color purity. These ensure that images on screen appear sharp, tremendously detailed and real for maximum viewing experience. Thanks to its powerful processor, the new LG TV is capable of upscaling content with resolutions as low as 1080p onwards to 8K as well....

As per its name, the new Reno 10x Zoom Edition provides up to 10x zoom capability through hybrid approach. That being said, it can actually go further with up to 60x digital zoom as per what we have shown through our hands on experience above. Powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855, there is more to Reno 10x Zoom Edition than just its super zoom camera though. Alongside 8GB of RAM and 256GB internal storage, the phone also comes with a fin-shaped pop-up selfie camera module which housed a 16MP sensor and f/2....

While the Computex prototype was cooled using water chiller and was equipped with a 1600W power supply as well as a low power graphics card, the demo machine that was brought to the event today was fitted with ASUS ROG Ryujin AIO liquid cooler and a 1000W power supply as well as two graphics card. Then again, this chip on this system was not overclocked. At the same time, the system was also equipped with the newly announced ASUS ROG Dominus Extreme motherboard as opposed to the GIGABYTE motherboard on the Computex’s system although the latter was still shown at the showcase area as a static display....

However, it looks like the sensor is not that strong as we thought to be though. According to an Imgur user named darkshark, he managed to overcome the sensor by using a 3D printed fingerprint mould. While it certainly takes some effort from darkshark to come out with the fingerprint mould as well as the fact that it doesn’t work straight away at first, the main point is that he got the upper hand over the ultrasonic sensor which is said to be more secure than an optical-based sensor....

Intelligent Performance We mentioned previously that the Samsung Galaxy S10 is powered by a Samsung Exynos 9820 chip. It makes use of a new AI software to automatically optimise resources like battery, CPU and RAM. This means better performance when the Samsung Galaxy S10 is in use, and better battery life when it is not. Since we haven’t had the Galaxy S10+ for long, we weren’t able to test to see if the on-board AI is indeed managing battery consumption better than before....

The service was generally pushed under the spotlight after netizens noticed the photos of its meeting with Ahmad Idham on social media. Not only that, its objective to become an ethical streaming service seems to resonate loudly with the remark made by the leader of FINAS, who is also a well-known actor, director, and producer. However, these pictures were posted back in September, so there is a high possibility that the association between Ahmad Idham’s remark and Aflix could be purely coincidental....

From the looks of it, details of the alleged 1tth generation CPU was discovered under a UL 3DMark database. The processor itself is, unsurprisingly lacking a considerably amount of detail, but APISAK seems to insist that the processor is, indeed, a Rocket Lake-S CPU. Moreover, the image shows that the processor has an 8-cores, 16-threads configuration, plus a base and boost clock of 3.2GHz and 4.3GHz, respectively. 8C/16T3.2/4.3 GHz pic....

At a glance, the EVGA-branded RTX 3080 12GB is part of the FTW3 Ultra lineup, meaning we can pretty much expect the same design language that comes with the brand’s lineup. This includes the same triple-fan configuration and layout, the same thick, 3-slot heatsink that covers both the GPU and its surrounding VRAM chips and capacitors, as well as that large aRGB LED strip located at the base of the card’s spine....

The discovery was made by the popular Thailand-based hardware performance seeker, APISAK (@TUM_APISAK), with the benchmark focused on the Fire Strike test. To be clear, APISAK simply mentioned the number 5960 and was initially ambiguous about its context. Then, after some back forth with the popular leakster site, Videocardz, APISAK somewhat came clean and said that it was score in reference to DG1. The GPU architecture that is being used in Xe....

In fact, a report by the Korean news site, Clien, suggests that the upcoming Switch Pro may simply offer “softer revision” to its capabilities, albeit with a more up-to-date custom chipset. On the subject of chipsets, it is also rumoured that the new Switch will make use of NVIDIA’s 12nm Xavier chipset. Replacing the ageing, 16nm Tegra X1+ currently in use with the revised Switch. In hindsight, the idea of a 4K-capable Switch Pro console sounds enticing, if not a necessary move for Nintendo....
