Following that, continued refusal will see you losing access to your WhatsApp chat. You can still accept calls but calling back missed calls can only be done via notifications. The same goes for replying to texts; you can get them, but replying is only possible via notifications. A version of this was detailed back in February, with some variations. Your account will, in effect, become practically deactivated. That being said, the page was not clear if this constitutes as actually being inactive, and thus being subject to the 120-day deletion rule, since your device can still connect to the internet with WhatsApp running....

According to the company, users can now connect to the app using a proxy server run by a network of volunteers and organisations when it is not possible to connect directly to WhatsApp. This feature works on both iOS and Android and can be found in the app’s Storage and Data settings. Once you tap on Use Proxy, you will then have to manually enter the proxy address in order to connect to one and a green check mark will appear if the connection is successful....

The problems that they encountered after the patch supposedly includes stuttering, framerates wildly fluctuating, a non-functioning V-Sync, and sudden FPS drops whenever they shared their gameplay on Discord. At this point, the issue clearly isn’t an isolated incident and at the time of writing, the subreddit has more than 80 comments from users, all expressing discontent and anger over the same issues. The good news is that uninstalling the update and reverting back to the previous version of Windows 10 eliminates the issue....

Software engineer and architect Ben Adida shared this discovery on Twitter, showing the way Wordle’s new owner is deploying the game. Now that the game has been relocated to the news company’s own website, it is also free to add the usual sort of trackers that collect user data that is later presumably sold to third parties. Separately, NYT didn’t change the game, but they sure changed the deployment. Lots more tracking....

Instead, Microsoft has decided to rename the Facebook page to Xbox SEA on 9 April after 12 years of being exclusive to Singapore: The change was not limited to just Facebook’s page handle though as the company has also changed the description of the page which now includes a reference to the region rather than just Singapore. What’s more surprising is that Microsoft has also broadcast the Age of Empire IV’s Fan Preview with Bahasa Malaysia audio dub through the newly renamed Xbox SEA’s Facebook page: There is also another version in Vietnamese as well....

With each of them is equipped with a 7mm driver that has a combination of neodymium magnet and titanium-plated coil, the Mi True Wireless Earphones also feature touch-based panel that allows users to control certain actions such as answering a phone call, play music, activate noise cancelling, and invoke voice assistant. Each of them also features an infrared-based ear presence sensor which allows users to automatically pause media playback just by removing one of the earphones....

While you might have heard of Mi 8 Pro before but based on the image that Xiaomi Malaysia posted (and subsequently removed) from the launch event listing on Facebook, we might be looking at the Explorer Edition instead. This is due to the fact that the image depicts the unit with a transparent back and in-screen fingerprint sensor. If the image is accurate, then the device should also offer 8GB of RAM and 128GB internal storage alongside 3000mAh battery....

UPDATE (9:05 AM): Both the main page banner and dedicated page for the device on Lazada Malaysia have been removed as of this morning. ORIGINAL STORY (12:49 AM): While we are not sure whether it is mistake or otherwise but It seems that Lazada Malaysia has revealed the official price of Xiaomi Mi 9T for our market. As you might have heard, the phone is indeed scheduled for launch today but its launch event will only take place later in the afternoon....

With a screen to body ratio of 180.6% and titanium alloy frame, there is no doubt on Mi Mix Alpha’s ability to command attention. Since the display is covering almost its entire body, Xiaomi has made an interesting design decision to position the status icons for the 5G network signal and battery percentage on the right side of Mi Mix Alpha. The company has also opted to implement pressure-sensitive virtual buttons on the device over the traditional physical buttons and will rely on AI algorithms as well as multiple sensors to prevent accidental touches....

According to a report by XDA, this new application supports a direct connection between a Xiaomi smartphone and a Windows PC via WiFi. Like Microsoft’s Your Phone feature, users can establish a link between the two devices by downloading a launcher on PC and then scanning the provided QR code with their phone. Similarly, Device Control would then enable users to mirror their phone’s screen on PC and even launch different apps in multiple windows....

As per our previous report, the Redmi 9T is essentially a variant of the Redmi 9 Power which will also be released in India later this month. Powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 662, the phone carries a 6.53-inch Full HD+ display that is protected by Corning Gorilla 3 and also houses Redmi 9T’s 8MP f/2.05 selfie camera within its teardrop notch. On its back, the Redmi 9T is equipped with a 48MP f/1....

Aesthetically, the Redmi G Gaming sports a matte all-black design that is complemented by carefully placed, slick lines on the back. Flip it open and you’re greeted with a full-size keyboard and relatively large trackpad. As for the display, regardless of the variant, all models of the laptop can be equipped with a Full HD panel with a 144Hz refresh rate and 100% sRGB coverage. Speaking of variants, it seems that the Redmi G Gaming laptops has a total of three variants....

According to the posters, it appears that the Mi CC9 Pro will be running on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 730G SoC. Contrary to the initial reports that suggested that the phone would run on the higher-end Snapdragon 855+ SoC. The choice of chipset seems apt, especially since the original Mi CC9 runs on the Snapdragon 710 SoC. Additionally, Xiaomi also teased that it is adding a feature to the CC9 Pro “waterfall display” design....

ORIGINAL STORY (4:39 PM): Xiaomi is organizing yet another virtual launch event for Malaysia and this time around, it will focus on the company’s ecosystem products. Scheduled to take place on 15 July, the teaser that the company has posted on its social media pages today contains plenty of hints though. As you can see from the image above, several of them are rather obvious. For example, the first digit depicts the Mi Electric Scooter Pro while the subsequent digit likely represents the newly launched Mi Band 5....

However, now you can obtain it at much less though as Harvey Norman Malaysia is currently offering the Galaxy S10+ 1TB for RM 3,999. This means that you can actually obtain the 1TB model at a much lower price than the standard 512GB model through this deal. Not only that, the price that Harvey Norman is offering at the moment is just RM 300 more than the Galaxy S10+ 128GB....

Specifically, applicants will now have to submit their social media usernames, prior email addresses, and currently existing phone numbers. The ruling, which was proposed back in March 2018, is expected to affect approximately 15 million people who apply for US visas each year. The requirement is understandable, depending on who you ask. In the case of the US. Prior to this, the US government merely required such details from individuals who had visited countries and areas it deems to be under terrorist control....

Citing the head of Sony’s sensor division, Satoshi Yoshihara (shown below), its 3D camera sensors will be heading to new smartphones that will be released in 2019. The sensors will be equipped on the front and rear cameras of these smartphones. Sony 3D camera sensors utilize a method called time-of-flight which apparently allows the sensors to create highly details 3D models and can be utilized from a distance of up to 5 meters....

Under the said implementation, the Terragraph wireless network, which was developed by Facebook and able to deliver gigabit speed, acts as the link to the GiGA Wire network within a building. Through the usage of GiGA Wire, it enables users to utilize Internet at a much higher speed than DSL technology while still using existing copper wiring. According to the live demonstration at the press conference in Penang Chinese Town Hall earlier today (shown below), the Terragraph – GiGA Wire combo network apparently able to deliver around 200Mbps....

In general, Bixby is split into three parts – Bixby Home, Bixby Voice and Bixby Vision. The first one can be accessed simply by swiping right from the home screen. It essentially keeps you up to date on your interests. Bixby Voice allows you to issue commands to the digital assistant by speaking to it. It recognises a wide array of commands, many of which can be issued quickly to make the Note 9 run multiple tasks with a simple phrase....

What makes me really happy are the two awards won by Joker — ‘Best Actor – Drama’ (Joaquin Phoenix) and ‘Best Original Score’ (Hildur Guonadottir). These, to me at least, are no brainers. Phoenix delivered what can only be considered a heartbreaking performance of staggering genius as Arthur Fleck / Joker and Guonadottir produced easily the most soul gripping film album of the year. It would be a shame, though, not necessarily a surprise if these two don’t win their respective categories at the 2020 Academy Awards as well....
