Amaterasu Makes An Appearance In Monster Hunter Rise

Well, sort of. Coming to the game is a special collaboration event quest that will allow you to give your Palamutes the appearance of Amaterasu. As with all event quests in the series, the acquisition of the layered armour involves completing the special event quest. Of course, seeing Amaterasu outside of the original cell-shaded graphics will take some getting used to. In Monster Hunter Rise, the RE Engine will be giving her visible fur textures....

Amd Big Navi May Ship Out As Radeon Rx 6000 Series At Launch

The discovery was made by an AMD-sponsored Facebook streamer, Gina Darling. Some of you may remember her days at Machinima under the pseudonym SuperExvillain, but since the site’s closure, she seems to have been flying solo in the world of streaming. Getting back to the point at hand, Darling had made the discovery of AMD’s alleged naming convention in Fornite; during one of her streaming sessions in a new map – it was jointly created by AMD and Fortnite Creative Island modder MAKAMAKES – she discovered the Easter Egg by performing certain tasks to get to the proverbial egg....

Amd Launches Radeon Rx 6800Xt In Midnight Black Already Out Of Stock

Evidence of the card’s existence was made known via special notice to members of AMD’s Red Team. Apart from the different colour scheme, however, everything else about the card seems to remain unchanged. Like the standard 6800XT, its Navi 21 XT GPU is still based on the RDNA2 architecture, has 4608 Stream Processors, is equipped with 16GB GDDR6 graphics memory, and sports the same 128MB Infinity Cache. Price-wise, the card went up for sale not too long ago and costs the same as a standard 6800XT at US$649 (~RM2685)....

Amd Ryzen 3000 Cpus Reported To Suppport Up To Ddr4 5000Mhz Speeds

This specific bit of information was first posted by the Ukraine-based overclocker and PC enthusiast Yuri Bubliy (@1usmus. His actual name is written in Cyrillic). The tweet itself is simple, if not basic; he simply states that the maximum value for DDR4 RAM on the upcoming Ryzen 3000 series CPUs seems to be set at 5000MHz in UCLK mode. For context, the UCLK refers to the frequency of the Unified Memory Controller (UMC)....

Amd Ryzen Processors Facing Performance Issues On Windows 11

According to AMD’s support page, both the company and Microsoft have found two main issues which, thankfully, are software-based rather than hardware related. This means that the problems can be remedied with a future update for Windows 11, so AMD Ryzen owners can still breathe a sigh of relief. It turns out that Windows 11 may cause the L3 cache latency to triple, which causes a drop of three to five percent in performance when running most affected applications....

Android 12 Reportedly Scheduled For 4 October Launch

Evidence of the rollout was first reported by XDA writer Mishaal Rahman, who managed to take a screenshot of an internal Google document that tells us when the search engine will cease approving software builds, based on Android 10, 11, and 12. According to the document, the OS is slated to be released via its Android Open Source Project (AOSP). While not mentioned, it is also likely that the final and stable build of Android 12 will rollout for Pixel phones first....

Android 13 Is Known Internally As Tiramisu

XDA reports that the mention of the Italian dessert was found in an AOSP commit, in a line that simply reads “Rename T to Tiramisu”. As mentioned earlier, this will likely remain a name that’s used only internally. Google used to name its Android mobile OS versions after desserts, even publicly. This stopped with Android 10, which was simply known to the public as Android 10. Though internally, the company still referred to it as Quince Tart....

Apple Accidentally Approved Common Mac Malware

Security researchers Peter Dantini and Patrick Wardle found the malware disguised as an Adobe Flash installer. Known as the Shlayer, it was rated by Kaspersky as the most common threat for Macs in 2019. And what it does is intercept encrypted web traffic, replacing websites and search results with its own ads. Wardle says that this is the first time Apple has approved of a known malware. TechCrunch reports that thanks to the report by Dantini and Wardle, Apple revoked the notarised malware shortly after the researchers reached out to the company....

Apple Confirms Camera Quality Issue On Studio Display Promises Fix

Specifically, the various websites remarked that the monitor’s camera produced grainy, low-contrast, and even muddy images. As demonstrated by comparison photos shared by WSJ writer Joanna Stern on Twitter, the differences in quality between the built-in camera on the Studio Display and several other devices is pretty jarring. One of which is an iPhone 11 Pro, which shares the same A13 Bionic chipset that is also equipped on the new Apple monitor....

Apple Denied Copyright Claim Against Security Startup Corellium

Reuters reports that Judge Rodney Smith ruled in favour of Corellium, the security startup in question. He said that the iOS emulation amounted to “fair use” because it was “transformative”. While these terms are more commonly heard in the YouTube content creation sphere these days, it also applies here as Smith says it helps developers find security flaws. According to the report, the suit had Apple accuse the emulating of iOS by Corellium as having the “sole function” of running the operating system on non-Apple hardware....

Apple Formally Acquires Ai Focused Startup Silk Labs

Silk Labs is not a company many people would know outside of the realm of machine learning. The company was co-founded by Andreas Gal, the former Chief Technology Officer (CTO) to Mozilla. To date, the company has only launched a single product – Sense, a smart camera designed for the smart home. Unfortunately, the company’s endeavour into the world of smart devices didn’t pan out as well as it had hope, and soon shifted its focus towards on-device machine learning services....

Apple Gets Us 2 Million Fine In Brazil For Excluding Charger From Iphone 12 Box

Brazilian consumer protection body Procon-SP issued a US$2 million (~RM8.2 million) to Apple over the weekend. The fine didn’t exactly come without warning. About the time Apple announced the iPhone 12, Procon questioned the environmental gains of not including a charger with the phone. A month after that, the regulator concluded that the company did not demonstrate environmental gain from the move. In addition to not including a charger, Procon is also charging Apple for a number of other issues....

Apple Iphone 12 Launch Event To Take Place On 13 October

Some 40 minutes ago, Apple announced that it will broadcast another special event from Apple Park on 13 October 2020 at 10:00 AM local time. For us Malaysians, that means 1:00 AM on 14 October 2020. Interesting enough, Apple has included the phrase “Hi, Speed” inside the note that it has sent to members of the media with regards to the special event. Based on the information that we have been hearing for the past few months, the phrase may be a reference to 5G connectivity, 120Hz display, or a new processor....

Apple Reportedly Working On Satellite Technology Could Allow Devices To Communicate Without Telcos

For now, Apple has not yet decided for sure what the project is for, specifically. But as mentioned earlier, it will likely be used to send data directly to a user’s device. It could also be used to allow for, say, an iPhone, to connect to another without the need for a traditional network by a third party telco. Another use case option is to use the satellite tech to improve location tracking for its devices....

Apple To Raise Battery Replacement Prices For Iphone Ipad Mac

Apple has yet to make an announcement on the matter, but a Redditor has spotted a new set of fine print on the Apple support page for the iPhone. Below the “Get estimate” button, the company writes that “Effective 1 March 2023, the out-of-warranty battery service fee will be increased by US$20 (~RM88) for all iPhone models prior to iPhone 14”. Similar lines can be found on the Apple iPad and Mac pages....

Apple Will Now Manufacture Iphone 11 Series In India

According to TechCrunch, a small batch of Indian-made iPhone 11 devices have already been shipped out to retail stores, despite production yield of the factory still being limited. Apple’s decision to open up another factory outside of China should come as no surprise. The rift between the US and China, since the former administration signed an executive order last year, have nearly soured any and all foreign relations between the two superpowers....

Artemis Fowl Will Not Be Getting A Theatrical Release Will Debut On Disney Instead

Indeed, these moves are not at all surprising considering the myriad of calendar shifts that have been going on. It really is numbing to wake up to a new delay every two days or so. However, one particular move by the studio got me pursing my lips, elevating my brows, and letting out a “huh…”. And that is with regard to Artemis Fowl. Variety reported that the adaptation of Eoin Colfer’s beloved fantasy novel will be skipping theatres entirely and will now debut on Disney+ instead....

Asrock Will Replace Amd 600 Series Motherboards Affected By Dimm Slot Sticker

To provide some context to the situation, it is best to go back to the start of it all: a posting on Reddit. Earlier last week, a Redditor opened up a thread, complaining about how the sticker on the DIMM slots did come off entirely, and instead left of sticky trail of destruction upon its removal. Now, to be fair, the stickers weren’t placed there under malicious intent; ASRock intended the stickers to serve as a warning, under the guise of an installation guide – over the longer-than-average, first-time boot up times for the new Ryzen 7000 series CPUs and their corresponding 600 Series motherboards....

Astrazeneca Recipients Will Be Getting Booster Shots Soon

As a comparison, the recommendation for Pfizer recipients to receive the additional shot is six months after the second dose while the time gap for Sinovac recipients is three months. Similar to the existing Pfizer and Sinovac recipients, those who have been administered with AstraZeneca will automatically receive their booster appointment through the MySejahtera app. At the same time, Khairy has also revealed that individuals will have choices other than the Pfizer vaccine for their booster shots if they have allergies and are unable to take the mRNA dose....
