The tourney has not had the best year, to say the least. Already being delayed by a year thanks to the pandemic, and following an indefinite delay, it was then scheduled to happen in Sweden. That plan fell through because the country would not recognise the tourney as an “elite sporting event”, which complicated travel matters for competitors. — DOTA 2 (@DOTA2) October 3, 2021 Romania was willing to host the event in Bucharest, and tickets even went on sale two weeks ago....

In essence, the Light Phone 2 is quite akin to a feature phone. You can make calls, and send texts with it, and it comes with a few basic tools like a calculator and an alarm. You can also listen to music or jot down notes. But that’s about it. There’s no social media, no email even. On its website, the makers of the phone say that it will never have things that keep you scrolling....

Here is the statement in full: As you might be able to notice from the statement, it seems that the reason why the app was pulled out from Apple App Store is likely due to child pornography. Prior to the release of this statement though, CNET’s Download.com already managed to find out the reason through independent sources. As this is an industry-wide problem, we work collaboratively with our industry peers and partners like NCMEC (National Cetner for Missing and Exploited Children) to actively monitor content uploaded to the platform....

The Note 10 Plus Star Wars Special Edition bundle includes the aforementioned Samsung smartphone, a pair of Galaxy Buds, a leather phone case, and a metal badge. The Note 10 Plus sports a metallic black design with red trims on the buttons and around the camera, while a First Order emblem and Star Wars logo can be found on its back. The S-Pen is decked out in glorious lightsaber red, but sadly it does not emit crossguards when taken out from the Note 10....

If you can recall, households with income of RM 4000 and below will receive a one-time payment of RM 1,600 while RM 1,000 will be provided to households with income of between RM 4,001 to RM 8,000. On another hand, single individuals with income of under RM 2,000 are getting RM 800 and those with income that ranging between RM 2,001 to RM 4,000 will receive RM 500. Naturally, the biggest question that have been asked by many is how to apply for it....

ORIGINAL STORY [11:40 AM]: Over the past few days, TIME Internet has been teasing a big launch on its Facebook page. One particular teaser carries the “2x Speed” remark which seems to hint that the Internet service provider is about to launch new plans that are much faster than its current offerings. It turns out that will indeed be the case. As reported by Amanz, an advertisement on the gigantic screen at the famed Jalan Ampang – Jalan P....

According to Variety, the series will be a choose-your-own-adventure style show (think Netflix’s Bandersnatch) that is set during an “impending apocalypse.” Per the site: The next thing on your mind is probably, “what on earth is Tinder up to? Are they diversifying their business or something?” The answer is not quite. In fact, the main reason they’re producing this series is to collect user data. A source told Variety the following:...

If you’re worried about how this feature might affect your privacy, Tinder has mentioned that the company will ensure control along the way, while prioritising the safety of its users too. However, it is worth noting that no specific rules or instructions have been revealed on how they intend to protect your privacy through this service yet. To utilise this feature, you will first be required to gain a mutual match from another user on Tinder....

According to a post on Twitter, the network is apparently able to deliver a throughput of 5Gbps. This is something that TM has never revealed before, even though it is already known early on that the company has planned to implement a live 5G network at the showcase. — TM Group (@myTMgroup) April 16, 2019 Speed aside, there are plenty of things that visitors to the 5G Malaysia Showcase are able to check out at TM’s booth....

Operational since December 2019, the purpose of TM 5GCC in Langkawi which is located at the Langkawi District and Land Office in Kuah is not just to look after its 5GDP implementations in the island. It also acts as a functional and real-time proof of concept that is meant to showcase the company’s capabilities in terms of connectivity, big data, cloud, and digital services. At the heart of the centre is what TM referred to as the Gerbang Langkawi Platform (GLP) which is essentially a cloud-based dashboard that allows users to monitor all the services in one place....

Based on the state of the cables, TM believed that the damages on them were due to vandalism. Given our lack of knowledge when it comes to network infrastructure, we not sure what really happened but it clearly didn’t look good from the pictures of the cables that TM has shared online: — unifi (@unifi) November 28, 2018 Naturally, the company subsequently fixed the damages which apparently affects around 1000 unifi customers in Kajang....

The social media company made the announcement on its own platform with a tweet. As part of the announcement, Twitter says this is a limited experiment on iOS. So you’ll likely won’t see the prompt at all until a wider rollout, if it happens. — Twitter Support (@TwitterSupport) May 5, 2020 For now, the criteria for “harmful” replies is murky at best. There’s no indication as to what constitutes as harmful....

According to reports by Techspot and Eurogamer, the new launch timelines for the three games have fallen somewhere within the next financial year, which is between April 2020 and March 2021. One of the reasons behind Ubisoft’s decision to delay the games was reportedly due to the lower-than-expected revenue made from two of its current IPs, Ghost Recon: Breakpoint and The Division 2. With the delay, Ubisoft is hoping to spend “more development time to ensure that their respective innovations are perfectly implemented so as to deliver optimal experiences for players....

According to the list, one of the games that we’ll be getting is Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. It’s a great game in its own right, and also the final entry into a brilliant series. It’s good news if we’re indeed getting this game next month for free. The other game that could be free to PlayStation Plus sibscribers is Dirt Rally 2.0. As you can tell from the name, it’s all about rallying and rallycross....

A group of senators from both sides of the political divide introduced a new piece of legislation. It’s called the Defending America’s 5G Future act. Essentially, it makes it so that the Trump administration cannot remove Huawei from the Entity List. In another uncommon case of unity in today’s US political climate, the country’s politics has kept the future of Huawei in the state of uncertainty. Two months ago, the company has been cut off from US companies....

Companies with approved licenses will effectively be allowed to bypass the trade that is currently in effect against Huawei. As it stands, the name of companies on that list remains largely unknown, but it wouldn’t surprise us if one of those companies happens to be Google. Back in May this year, the Trump administration signed an executive order that put a stranglehold on US companies, prohibiting them from using certain 5G telecommunications equipment made in China, and more specifically, by Huawei....

As you may know, not all Apple devices are able to support the proprietary HDR format. Among products that are compatible with the Dolby Vision includes iPhone 8 and newer, iPad Pro 2nd generation and above, certain Mac models, and the Apple TV 4K that is paired with a Dolby Vision-supported TV. Works with both Safari web browser and Vimeo dedicated app, it will automatically detect and play videos in Dolby Vision on compatible devices....

The launch event will be held at the Blue Concourse of Sunway Pyramid, according to the image the company shared. But since that date coincides with the start of pre-orders, the actual availability of the phone looks to be a little later. Also, thanks to a pre-order page on DirectD Malaysia, we’d hazard a guess that the Vivo V15 Pro will be available starting 2 March. We say this because DirectD states that’s when they expect to get the phones....

It was a rather controversial decision, but the Geely-owned Volvo Cars pressed on with the plan. So, the company earlier this week has announced that the 180kph speed limit is now being implemented on every single new Volvo car moving forward. At the same time, Volvo Cars have also announced the availability of Care Key which was also announced back in March 2019 alongside the 180kph speed limit. The idea behind the Care Key is that it allows Volvo car owners to set additional speed limit when they lend their car to other users such as younger or inexperienced drivers within their family....

The company famed for its HDDs and recently, SSDs after its acquisition of SanDisk, was accused of sneaking in shingled magnetic recording (SMR) technology into its WD RED NAS HDDs. It wasn’t until after a report from Tom’s Hardware about the act that WD later published a complete list of SMR-driven HDDS it had tried to market off as Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR) drives. NAS using SMR-based HDDs are typically regarded as being unsuitable for both NAS applications and other RAID deployments....
