Since then, the company has sent a follow-up statement, addressing the issue. The statement says that Huawei will continue to provide security updates to existing Huawei and HONOR devices. This encompasses phones as well as tablets. Here’s the statement, reproduced in full: Google isn’t the only company to be cutting business ties with the Chinese company. Intel and Qualcomm have also done the same. The former will directly affect the production of Huawei’s servers and notebooks, while the latter will affect phones of both Huawei and HONOR devices not using the company’s own Hisilicon chipsets....

According to The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision newsletter, the two villains that will be featured in Matt Reeves’ Batman film are Penguin and Catwoman. It is reported that Reeves will not begin casting these villains until Pattinson closes his deal, which is believed to be anytime now. Apart from The Joker, Penguin and Catwoman are probably the most popular bad guys in The Dark Knight’s Rogues’ Gallery, right up there with The Riddler and Two-Face....

Announced during the Facebook Fuel For India event, Instagram Lite is, as the name suggests, very lightweight. It comes in at less than 2MB in size, and strips itself of its additional features like Reels, Shopping and IGTV. You still get access to Stories from the look of things. Being so stripped back, this makes Instagram Lite the version of the app to have on phones that have less storage space....

In addition, the platform says it will also place priority back to the Create/Compose button by returning it back to its rightful position at the centre of the bar. As most Instagram users are aware by now, that spot is currently being held by the Reels, whereas the former sits at the top right of the home screen. That being said, the upcoming refresh will see the latter shifted to the right of the repositioned Create/Compose button....

Apart from the 100MHz reduction in its overall base, boost, and Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB), the Core i9-10850K is essentially a carbon copy of the Core i9-10900K. Stats-wise, it maintains the same 10-cores, 20-threads layout, has the same TDP of 125W, and – there’s sadly no running away from this – is still based on Intel’s 14nm die lithography. Due to its stature as a Core i9 CPU and to point state the obvious, yet again, the 10850K is unlocked and therefore fully overclockable....

From Intel’s explanation, CET is designed to act as a bulwark of security capabilities that protects against common malware attacks on a CPU-level. Specifically, CET initiates the protection through two key capabilities: indirect tracking and shadow stack. To put it simply, indirect tracking is designed to deliver an indirect form of branch protection against jump and call-oriented programming (COP) attacks. While shadow stack is designed to protect against return-oriented programming (ROP) via the use of a method called return address protection....

Now, we say new but it should be noted that the NUC Extreme seen here is a NUC 11, meaning that the system’s core CPU is based on Intel’s 11th generation Tiger Lake architecture, and is not to be confused with the NUC 12 Extreme, codenamed “Dragon Canyon. That was announced back during CES 2022. The main takeaway here, however, is that the GPU powering the small form factor system is an ARC Alchemist GPU....

This is generally because the new Intel Core i5-L16G7 and Core i3-L13G4 are quite different from the rest of 10th Gen Core family members. They are what the company called as the Intel Core Processors with Intel Hybrid Technology and were also collectively known via their codename: Lakefield. Both chips are carrying one 10nm Sunny Cove core that is also used for intensive workload while there are also four power-efficient 10nm Tremont cores to tackle less taxing background tasks....

“Intel Labs has dedicated decades of research into reliable cryptography, hashing techniques and ultra-low voltage circuits,” wrote Intel senior vice president Raja Koduri in the announcement. “We expect that our circuit innovations will deliver a blockchain accelerator that has over 1000x better performance per watt than mainstream GPUs for SHA-256 based mining.” For the uninitiated, SHA-256 is a hashing algorithm that is used to generate Bitcoin and other specific cryptocurrencies....

This bit of news was confirmed by Gigabyte during its recent AORUS Direct livestream, announcing its new Z490 motherboard lineup. To be precise, the spokesperson basically said that all Z490 motherboards will be Rocket Lake compatible, but it should also be pointed out that the brand had also mentioned that its own motherboards will be “PCIe 4.0” ready. The latter point is important, as Intel decided to skip PCIe 4....

The folks at iFixit have since published a new report saying that the cameras of the newest iPhone are unreliable when moving the cameras from one iPhone 12 to another. For one, it refuses to switch to the wide-angle camera, and only responds to certain modes. Sometimes it even freezes up. This could either be a defect of the iPhone 12, or an intentional move by apple. And chances are it’s the latter....

In a brilliant bit of casting by Matthew Vaughn, Fassbender and McAvoy were brought in to play young Magneto and Professor X in First Class. Fassbender took the ball and ran with it, adding a whole new dimension to the popular comic book character previously embodied by Ian McKellen. He certainly has gotten the approval of not just fans and critics, but his equally talented co-star as well. In a recent chat with Rotten Tomatoes, James McAvoy praised Fassbender’s performance throughout the franchise, most notably his work in First Class....

A successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, the JWST consists of 18 gold-coated hexagonal mirrors and is 21-foot wide. Because of its large size, the two wings — consisting of three-mirror panels each — had to be folded to fit inside the nose cone of an Arianespace Ariane 5 rocket during its launch. With the successful deployment & latching of our last mirror wing, that’s:50 major deployments, complete.178 pins, released....

Jaringan Prihatin was originally launched in May with the aim to financially aid B40-categorised individuals to easily acquire smartphones or broadband internet plans. A total of RM3.5 billion has been allocated by the Malaysian government for the programme, which is also an initiative under Budget 2021 and enhanced under the Strategic Programme to Empower the People and Economy (PEMERKASA) stimulus that launched in March. As mentioned earlier, this is actually Jaringan Prihatin’s second extension since launch....

The entire PerantiSiswa package, which consists of a Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 and compatible accessories, were rolled out to eligible applicants starting last month as part of the initiative’s first phase of distribution. The initiative itself is intended to aid students who are in the B40 group by supplying necessary devices to help them in their studies in institutes of higher education. While initially introduced as a loaner device, the government had declared back in early September that recipients will no longer be required to return them at the end of their studies....

In a video uploaded to his official Facebook page today, transport minister Wee Ka Siong said the tests have concluded that the effectiveness of the system, as well as the service’s operational safety are stable. “I have also been briefed by the management and technical experts of Rapid Rail on the tests conducted, which included further intensifying tests involving 38 train units from Gombat to Putra Heights stations from last night until early this morning to ensure the Kelana Jaya LRT line is safe and ready to be fully reopened,” he added....

Kioxia explained that it achieved that speed with its BiCS Flash 3D NAND layering technology, built in collaboration with WD and is also in its 6th generation. Specs-wise, the 6th generation BiCS Flash houses 162 layers across a die lithography that is 40% smaller than its 112-layer BiCS. Despite the shrink in size, Kioxia claims that its new NAND cells allow for up to 66% faster average write speeds. The company also explained that in order to achieve those higher speeds, it had to develop a 16-channel SSD control that will make its debut in its upcoming 5th generation CM6 and CD7 SSDs....

One of the main examples is the KitaJaga platform that was created by Terato Tech, a development house based in Bangi. Originally conceived as a web app, the platform is now available as a native app for iOS devices as well as iPad and M1-based Macs. The user interface alongside the main functionalities of KitaJaga’s iOS app remains identical to its web app counterpart which includes the ability to signal for help or list a food bank....

As you may recall, the initial Sony LinkBuds featured an unconventional open-back design, allowing for external noise to pass through while music is being played. The supposedly next entry to the series, however, is shown to feature a more basic earbuds body – appearing almost identical to the company’s WF-1000XM4 buds that were released last year. If accurate, this would also suggest that Sony won’t be restricting the use of its LinkBuds branding to devices that only promote situational awareness....

One of them is the Legion 7i which is the highest tier offering within the new generation of Legion gaming laptops. The laptop can be fitted with up to Intel Core i7-10750H, 32GB DDR4-2933 RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 graphics, two 1TB PCIe NVMe solid state drive, and 240Hz IPS panel.
