Dolby’s angle for marketing the Vision describes the wireless headphones set as “the first wireless headphones perfected for home entertainment”. On paper, the headphone’s also seems to be packing a lot of heat. For starters, it comes with support for Dolby’s LifeMix. A feature that enables active noise cancellation (ANC), as well as a “Transparency” mode that allows to tweak the volume of the noise level in your immediate surrounding without ever having to remove the headset....

Before the closure of Visceral, the game was codenamed Ragtag. It was meant to be a linear action-adventure game directed by Amy Hennig, former director of the Uncharted series. When EA closed Visceral down, EA Vancouver took over the project, with executives saying that they needed to “pivot the design” to make the game more like a live service. The game, now going by the codename Orca, was reportedly canceled because EA’s top decision makers decided they needed something earlier than the planned release date....

Starting off, the devs will be working a sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Being a sequel to an existing game, it should follow a similar formula. The second title is an “all-new” first-person shooter entry. And third, Respawn will be working with another studio called Bit Reactor which is staffed by people who were formerly of XCOM series maker Firaxis Games. Together, they will be coming up with a new Star Wars Strategy title....

However, things don’t seem to go well with the review unit though as multiple media members have reported that their Galaxy Fold is breaking up barely 2-3 days after using it. It is hard to say whether they are being mishandled or genuinely broken from design or manufacturing perspective but for some, it is because of this protective layer that is not supposed to be removed by users: I got this far peeling it off before the display spazzed and blacked out....

For context, QSB is the state government’s strategic investment arm that is overseeing the implementation of the electric bus service. The project itself is a collaboration between the company and Gemilang Coachwork Sdn Bhd, which is one of Asia’s leading manufacturers of electric buses and aluminium bus bodies.

At current, both the European Council and European Parliament, two legislative bodies of the EU, are currently in negotiation to decide on a final proposal that would see a sum of €43 billion (~RM198 billion) flow into its semiconductor manufacturing industry. The goal obviously being to bolster its competitiveness in the market, as well as to reduce its dependence on China as well. The EU is currently facing difficulties in securing a steady stream of semiconductor supply, a sign that its strained relationship with China, coupled with fresh sanctions by the US on the Asian superpower, is starting to take its toll on the economic union’s market....

To be precise, the European Commission’s Commissioner, Margrethe Vestager, accuses Google of abusing its monopoly in online advertising. As Vestager puts it, Google has “cemented its dominance in online search adverts” and even shielded itself from “competitive pressure by imposing anti-competitive contractual restrictions on third-party websites”. This isn’t the first time Google has been fined for breaking EU antitrust laws. Last year, it was slapped with a fine of US$5 billion (~RM20....

By that, we don’t mean that every single game in the Epic Games Store is now available for free though. Instead, what we actually meant is the universe simulator game called Everything by David OReilly. In Everything, players can embody everything from the tiny subatomic levels to planets and even the whole star system. It can be regarded as a “food for thought” game, as it lets you experience different levels of “existence” while listening to the narration by philosopher Allan Watts and music by composer Ben Lukas Boysen....

The decision from the National Security Council today was something that has already been hinted by Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin earlier this week. Meanwhile, to address the issue of disposable face masks that might be costly to some, Minister Ismail pointed out that the members of the public can produce their own mask. However, they must make sure that the homemade mask meets the specifications from the World Health Organization (WHO)....

However, one major point stands out from the rest. In this updated prompt, Facebook added that keeping data tracking enabled also “helps keep [the apps] free of charge”. This basically implies that the social media giant may one day consider charging users to use its platforms and apps, should it be denied any tracking capabilities. “Help keep Facebook free of charge” pic.twitter.com/mOB9WJpz9A — ashkan soltani (@ashk4n) April 30, 2021 In a recent update to its “Speaking For Small Businesses” blog post, Facebook vice president for ads and business products Dan Levy explained that these prompts serve as “educational screens” to inform users on how the company uses data for personalised ads....

According to the report, Apple had instructed Facebook to remove any mention of the revenue cut from the transparency notice in its newly launched paid live streaming service. The notice was intended to provide awareness to users of any additional taxes imposed on their live stream earnings, either from Facebook themselves or other parties.

To be precise, Facebook’s actually got the Oculus team working on a few designs, with the hopes that a potential successor will appear within them. To that end, it’s safe to say that we won’t be expecting a new VR headset from the brand anytime soon. The Oculus Quest was first announced back in 2018. The headset serves as a direct successor to the Oculus Go and much like its predecessor, the headset can run VR independently....

The IRS reportedly determined that Facebook had undervalued several of its intellectual properties. When it sold them to a subsidiary in Ireland nearly a decade ago. For context, Ireland is considered a corporate tax haven for companies, and moving its money through its own subsidiaries is typically the norm for multinational companies. As you can imagine, the timing of the IRS’ lawsuit isn’t going to do any favours for Facebook....

FedEx says that doing so is both legally and logistically impossible. Its stated in its lawsuit that it is a transportation company, and not a law enforcement agency. For context, some time after the US ban on China went into effect, Huawei was added on to the US government’s “Entity List”. Containing names of people and companies that it deemed to be a risk to national security. FedEx came into the spotlight recently when – while attempting to enforce the US ban – a package heading for the US was returned to its sender in the UK, which was PCMag....

Not this time around though as this particular aircraft which was flown by Captain Hamdan Che Ismail carried two special cargo boxes. Prepped by DHL, the two boxes – labelled as AKE 10296 MH and AKE 10679 MH – contained the first batch of COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer-BioNTech for Malaysia. Inside these cargo boxes, there are multiple cold storage boxes that altogether hold almost 313,000 doses.

Here’s the statement from Epic Games, reproduced in full: Google puts software downloadable outside of Google Play at a disadvantage, through technical and business measures such as scary, repetitive security pop-ups for downloaded and updated software, restrictive manufacturer and carrier agreements and dealings, Google public relations characterizing third party software sources as malware, and new efforts such as Google Play Protect to outright block software obtained outside the Google Play store....

Epic Games’ Single Sign-On implementation leads to a redirect URL whenever a player signs in using Facebook, Google, PlayStation Network, Xbox Live or Nintendo Switch Online. Hackers can exploit the redirect URL and gleam login details from a victim. From that point, all the hacker needs to do is to convince a victim to click on a suspicious link. And since only one login is allowed at a time, this means that the original account owners are locked out for as long as the hackers hang on to the compromised account....
