Malaysia Competition Commission Proposes Rm 86 77 Million Fine On Grab

Specifically, the clause apparently forbids Grab driver-partners from promoting and advertising other e-hailing services which is deemed as a misuse of its dominant position in Malaysia. According to the report by The Edge, MyCC’s CEO, Iskandar Ismail apparently has pointed out that the driver-partners should be able to do anything with their cars since Grab doesn’t own them. MyCC has also announced a daily penalty of RM 15,000 starting from this Thursday onwards until Grab takes the necessary steps to solve the issue as pointed by the commission....

Massive Star Wars The Rise Of Skywalker Rumour Reveals Rey S Parents Updated

While I love this reveal and the thematic significance of it, there’s no denying that it rubbed certain portions of the fandom a wrong way. Of course, there’s the very real possibility that Kylo Ren could be lying or perhaps even he didn’t know the whole truth (think something along the lines of Jon Snow in Game of Thrones). Which brings me to the massive rumour. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker sees the return of J....

Maybank Launches Mae Digital E Wallet Account

Essentially, the main use case scenario for MAE is for you to have a virtual account separate from the primary account. You still get all the features, like transferring funds and splitting bills.

All you need to do is to transfer money in from any other bank account of your choice....

Mcdonald S Has Its Own Mccrispy Gaming Chair

We should probably start with the goofiness of the way this looks. While black is a colour that usually goes well with just about any colour, there’s something about this shade of yellow that just make this combo look off. Nevermind that you have the McCrispy name pasted around the chair, in case the M on the headrest wasn’t a big enough sign that this is a McDonald’s gaming chair....

Mcmc Greater Data Consumption During Mco Causing Speeds To Fall

There is also an increase of online shopping as shopping malls remain closed throughout the MCO. Of course, being home means that we are prone to get entertainment contents online and when you combine all these factors together, it is not surprising that there is a significant increase of Internet traffic right now. In their reply to our queries that we sent after the traffic reduction announcement by Netflix, TM and TIME have previously stated to us that there were around 30% increase of traffic within their network during the early part of MCO....

It’s not a firm indication that the Android device will be released in a short while, but it’s usually one of the last steps a device goes through in the US before it is sold there....

Minecraft To Feature Ray Tracing Support With Nvidia Rtx Technology

Specifically, NVIDIA also announced that it will use a form of ray-tracing, known as path tracing, into the Windows 10 version of the game. According to the GPU brand, path tracing is a new method in which RTX-capable systems can simulate the way light is transported throughout a scene. To get into the technicalities, path tracing “presents a unified model for lighting calculations” for different types of effects. Some examples in-game include direct lighting from the sun or emissive surfaces such as glowstone and lava; realistic hard and soft shadows based on the size, shape, and distance of the light source; atmospheric scattering and density; indirect specular and diffuse illumination; and transparent materials with reflections, refractions, and the scattering of elements, to name a few....

Monster Hunter Stories 2 To Launch On Pc And Nintendo Switch On 19 July

Capcom released a new trailer for the game, which says at the end “Available Worldwide, 9 July 2021”. Alongside this are both the logos for the Nintendo Switch and Steam. While the trailer doesn’t explicitly say that the game will be simultaneously released on both, it’s pretty much the impression that it gives. This is quite the departure for Monster Hunter games on Nintendo platforms. Such titles usually remain exclusive to the platform for the entirety of its lifespan....

Nintendo To Release Super Mario Game Watch On 13 November

Back when it was first released, the Game & Watch was quite the special gaming device. As the name suggested, it could also serve as a clock, with a kickstand to help it serve that purpose. It was also small, being one of the first handhelds by Nintendo, predating the Game Boy. But it had one drawback, in that it mostly only had one game hard-coded into it. In the case of Super Mario Bros, a stripped down version of the game was included in the 1986 version of the device....
