The company earlier today has announced that it has activated 5G at the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park (MAEPS) in Serdang as well as Ministry of Health Training Institute in Sungai Buloh. Both locations are currently being used as temporary COVID-19 quarantine centres. Based on the information provided by TM, the 5G implementation at both quarantine centres revolves around fixed wireless access. In its response to our follow up queries, the company noted that the activation of 5G in both areas which was done with assistance from Huawei, not only involved the deployment of base stations but also 50 units of 5G CPE wireless gateways....

At the time of writing, TM says that it has already restored Unifi service to half of the affected Unifi customers, while it is working as fast as it can to get service back to full service for the remaining customers.

As noted in our report yesterday, TM originally didn’t clarify where or how it manage to obtain the additional capacity. As it turns out, it was done by rerouting the traffic to an alternate international link which the company didn’t reveal the exact link in its announcement. However, in a separate statement released by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), the alternate link turns out to be the Cahaya Malaysia (CM) which is TM’s first fully owned international submarine cable system....

“Bitcoin, it just seems like a scam,” Trump said on Fox Business, according to the BBC. “I don’t like it because it’s another currency competing against the dollar.” This isn’t the first time that the controversial “America First” politician has spoken against cryptocurrency. In 2019, back when he was US president, he slammed cryptocurrencies, including Facebook’s proposed digital coin Libra. According to Reuters, he wrote on Twitter, “I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air....

The news agency named US chipmaker Intel and Japanese flash memory chipmaker Kioxia Corp as among the companies that had their supply licenses to Huawei pulled out. US authorities have also rejected the vast majority of some 150 license applications worth US$120 billion in goods and technology. Reuters also reported that another US$280 billion of licenses for goods and technology for Huawei haven’t been addressed, but are now likelier to face rejection too....

In addition to the current process, TSMC had also reportedly shared some details about the future beyond 3nm, something that the company is calling 3DFabric technology. According to Tom’s Hardware, the concept of 3DFabric focuses on advanced packaging technologies and as such, 3D packaging technologies were determined to be the next step after 3nm. To be clear, this wouldn’t be TSMC’s first foray into the development and manufacturing 3D packaging techniques; to date, the company has used technologies such as Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate (CoWoS), Integrated Fan Out (InFO-R), Chip on Wafer (COW), and Wafer-on-Wafer (WoW)....

“In 2023, I hope we can offer more capacity to support our customers. At that time, we’ll start to see the supply chain tightness release a little bit,” he said. Prodded by the extraordinary demand for chips, TSMC previously announced that it would spend US$100 billion (~RM413.8 billion) over three years to boost the chip-making capacity of its plants. Wei noted the strong demand for 5-nm and 3-nm chips as an impetus for additional capacity, Reuters said....

The premium-exclusive services offered by Twitter Blue are exactly as what was speculated by Wong. To recap, the new features accessible to subscribers include the ability to undo tweets, add bookmarks and folders, and compiling threads into a single page via Reader Mode. All of which are functions that Twitter users have been asking for throughout the years. According to the platform’s recent blog post, Undo Tweet provides users a customisable timer of up to 30 seconds before posting something new....

In terms of how the new feature works, the tweet explains that users will now be presented with suggestions to follow relevant accounts that are based on the profile page of someone they have just followed on Twitter. In addition to this, users will be able to add all accounts instantly with a single tap while also be provided with the option to remove individual accounts that they do not wish to follow....

Reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi discovered the feature last month, but has managed to uncover even more details on how it works. According to a screenshot he posted, you will be able to add up to 150 users to your “flock”, who will gain exclusive permission to view and reply to your Flock tweets. A teardown by XDA Developer found strings in Twitter’s 9.27.0-beta.2 Android app that refers to the feature, which corroborates Paluzzi’s findings....

Prior to this, Twitter generally labels them as Retweets despite their differences. But now, the company has separated them apart with the latter being called Quote Retweet.

As implied by its name, the feature unlinks the user’s handle from a Twitter thread that they are tagged in, therefore cutting them off from newer replies as well as notifications, re-mentions, and so on. The platform says its introduction is intended to prevent users from receiving “unwanted attention” that could lead to harassment or spam. Take control of your mentions and leave a conversation with Unmentioning, now rolling out to everyone on all devices....

As the title of the film suggests, the plot revolves around the eponymous uncut gem which is a priceless black opal of African Jewish heritage found by two Ethiopian miners. Adam Sandler’s Howard Ratner, a Jewish-American jeweller comes into possession of that opal and sets a complex scheme into motion. He plans on selling it at an auction with hopes of making over a million dollars in returns, particularly to basketball superstar Kevin Garnett (who plays himself in this film which is pretty bloody awesome)....

The new tariff – while significantly less than what was initially expected – will clearly affect many companies, both in the US and China. Specifically, many tech brands and manufacturer are sure to feel the pinch of the new tariff. So much so that several notebook makers have begun stockpiling inventory and ready products in anticipation of the upcoming tariff. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1156979443900067841?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1156979443900067841&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.techspot.com%2Fnews%2F81259-trump-announces-additional-10-percent-tariff-chinese-imports.html To be fair, Trump didn’t specifically say if the remaining US$300 billion includes electronic products and goods....

As the name suggests, this is one of the first, if not the very first, 5G phones in Malaysia. That’s tech that we won’t be widely available for quite awhile, as telcos are still testing it out. The phone is also one of the few officially available here to be armed with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 Plus. Another defining feature of the phone is its 6.89-inch Full HD+ Waterfall FullView display, with its very aggressive curves and its 99....
