Light confirmed its departure to Android Authority recently, stating that it is “no longer operating in the smartphone industry”, but didn’t provide further details or an explanation about its decision. As a company, Light first came to prominence with the launch of its Light L16 compact camera back in 2015. The device features 16 lenses and features like HDR and high resolution image capture. But was criticised for its long list of flaws, which includes an exorbitant price tag, slow processing speeds, and allegedly horrid low-light performance....

The device, known as the Ulanzi (I’m going to give a minute to our fellow Malaysian readers here. Done? Okay.) – ST-09 Phone Tripod Mount, features as a grip for iPhones and includes a rear compartment for placing an Apple Watch. This enables users to utilise the smartphone’s higher quality rear cameras for vlogging use, that is if the primary focus of the video is the creator themselves. With the smartwatch facing the user, it acts as a small viewfinder to ensure that they are within frame when shooting....

BioNTech is world-famous for partnering with Pfizer to develop a COVID-19 vaccine with a efficacy rate of 95% – according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). That vaccine uses mRNA to teach the body’s cells to make a protein that triggers an immune response that creates protective antibodies. The Singapore mRNA manufacturing plant will apparently be capable of producing a range of novel mRNA vaccines and therapeutics for infectious diseases and cancer....

The official Crysis Twitter account posted two things that strongly suggest that the remaster is already in the works. One is the line “They used to call me Prophet”. This was said by Major Laurence Barnes at the beginning of the game. Following this tweet, Crytek put up a screenshot from the original game. — Crysis (@Crysis) May 21, 2021 Following the release of the first game’s remastered version, a Crysis 2 Remastered isn’t exactly surprising....

Specifically, in the patch notes, CDPR says that it has modified the flashing effects of Braindances in Cyberpunk 2077 to reduce the risk of inducing epileptic symptoms. These effects have been “smoothed out” and the flashes reduced in frequency and magnitude. No doubt this is a great change for those who have had a history of epileptic seizures. But to nitpick, it would probably have been better if it was a toggle option in the settings menu....

The PC edition features Photo Mode, high frame rate, ultra-wide monitor support & content from Valve’s Half-Life! Pre-purchase for in-game items & HD wallpapers: https://t.co/0Za43eMigd pic.twitter.com/0nyJIypwXR — 505 Games (@505_Games) March 2, 2020 Death Stranding, on Steam at least, will also feature Half-Life’s iconic head crab as a accessory for protagonist Sam Bridges. Seeing that this is a Hideo Kojima game, there’s a chance that it may also include additional Easter eggs in the PC port....

With the ability to deliver a contrast ratio of 2,000:1 alongside colour gamut coverage of 98% DCI-P3, these monitors have also been designed to meet the VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification. On the other hand, there is also the 30-inch U3023E which offers an IPS panel with a 16:10 aspect ratio, 95% DCI-P3 coverage, and a resolution of 2560 x 1660 (WQXGA). Despite the differences in their sizes and display panel, all three UltraSharp models feature a USB-C port that is not only able to deliver both data transmission and video output at the same time but also supports power delivery of up to 90W....

Earlier today, Reuters reported that both telcos have declined to take any equities in DNB that were offered by the government back in March. The report further added that Maxis and U Mobile did not see any benefits in having stakes in the national 5G company although both telcos apparently still want to obtain 5G access from DNB. DNB generally confirmed this through its media statement [pdf] which said that one of the six telcos decided not to proceed with the shareholder agreement while another chose not to respond even though they have earlier confirmed their participation in the agreement....

The announcement came via a Discord blog post. Once you get it, you’ll be able to show what game you’re playing on your PS4 or PS5 on your Discord status, in the same way that you can do so for PC games.

Though the developers mention that it intends to add to Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout some features from other Epic Games titles. These include features like cross-play and squad vs squad modes from titles like Rocket League and Fortnite. That being said, the game is not going free to play, at least not yet. What does this mean? I’m glad you asked! — Fall Guys 🤖 Season 4.5 🤖 (@FallGuysGame) March 2, 2021 Overall, the result of this acquisition is quite different from the Psyonix acquisition....

The first train departure from KL Sentral and KLIA2 will be at 5 AM, while it was previously 6 AM.

Bloomberg reports that Japan’s antitrust regulator will “step up attention” to the iPhone maker’s practices. Prominent people in the Japanese app industry have also started voicing their concerns aloud. Among them is mobile game maker Gumi. Its founder and chairman Hirano Kunimitsu said “I want from the bottom of my heart Epic to win”. And it sounds like they extend beyond the 30% cut Apple takes. In fact, many devs don’t mind the cut, but want better service to make up for it....

First spotted by Brandon Butch, the beta lets you set up your face with a mask on, which works by recognising “unique features around the eye”. While it’s a welcome addition, the setting does warn users that Face ID is most accurate when it’s configured to full-face recognition only, so the convenience might come with lower security. — Brandon Butch (@BrandonButch) January 27, 2022 Additionally, bespectacled iPhone users can rejoice as the update is also adding better support for glasses, though Apple specifies that it does not support sunglasses....

With the new update, users may now invite friends from both Messenger and Instagram to participate in a group chat. Much like the existing feature on Facebook’s chat platform, typing indicators are visible to participants whenever other members in the group chat are preparing a new message. Similarly, Messenger’s polls function is also available in cross-platform group chats, enabling users to vote on a particular outcome – such as deciding on which video to watch together....

If you are wondering whether your details are included in the leak or otherwise, you can now use the popular online tool Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) to verify it. In case you are not familiar with HIBP, it was launched in December 2013 and is the brainchild of Australian cybersecurity expert Troy Hunt. For Malaysians, they may remember that Troy had added the Jobstreet database into HIBP after the massive national-scale data breach of 2017....

At the end of Trump’s ban period, Facebook said it would consult experts and evaluate if lifting his suspension would threaten public safety. The controversial former president was first suspended and effectively banned from the platform when he overtly supported insurrectionists who stormed and attacked the US Capitol. If Facebook restores Trump’s account in 2023, it would probably coincide with the beginning of the campaigning period for the next US presidential election slated in 2024....
