YouTuber Tyler McVicker claims that Turtle Rock Studios had ideas for a another game type “on top of that engine”, referring to Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. It’s unclear if this was to be a mode for said game, or a prototype for another standalone game. Either way, one of the maps created for this was called Zombie City. This has the Terrorist team of up to four players face infinitely respawning Counter Terrorist bots that are armed with nothing but a knife....

The original concept of this model was created and designed by 21-year-old mechanical engineering student and LEGO enthusiast Marc (aka Minibrick Productions) from California, USA. In an interview with LEGO Ideas, he revealed that the design for the Polaroid Onestep SX-70 took over a month to complete, with the goal of having it being more than a display piece. That in mind, Marc included a mechanism that lets the model “print out” a photo (in this case, a LEGO plate resembling a Polaroid film), giving it some sense of simulation and playability....

Being the successor to the original Leica Q which was launched in 2015, the Q2 also brings an updated OLED viewfinder as well as a new OLED back display to view photos and settings on the camera.

A note for photography enthusiasts out there: the camera still able to output to DNG RAW files for better image post-processing later on....

As usual, the durability test starts off okay. The Corning Gorilla Glass over display scratches as Mohs hardness level six. That’s to be expected. The glass pieces at the back also hold up quite well. Then, at the end of the video, comes the notorious bend test. And as the title of this article suggests, this is when the Lenovo Legion Duel 2 snaps. Much like with the ASUS ROG Phone 5, the weakpoint here is the antenna line....

Of course, the letter contains other buzzwords poured out of the word blender, which sounds just as unappealing in the context of video games. Other things include Facebook changing its name to Meta, and thus hijacking the phrase “metaverse”. But NFTs were by far the main focus of the letter, with the company managing to demean modders while singing praises for blockchain tech. Whatever the company planned for, it is amazing in its own way that Square Enix decided to go ahead with publishing this letter....

The comeback will see the new site feature collectibles for art and entertainment, with its initial focus on music before venturing into the film industry in the fourth quarter. According to Co-CEO Julian Zehetmayr, “LimeWire will not be an alternative to streaming platforms, but rather an additional channel for artists to sell exclusive music and art directly to collectors and to engage with their most loyal community of fans.” To lower the barrier for the uninitiated to foray into NFTs, all assets on LimeWire’s marketplace will be denominated in US Dollars, with both cryptocurrency and fiat currency accepted for payments....

Starting from 9 November, all transactions of RM1000 and above will be exclusively approved using Secure2u. Similarly, all prepaid reload transactions, regardless of the amount, will also require approval by Secure2u starting from 16 November. What this means is that instead of getting SMS Transaction Authorisation Codes (TAC), Secure2u will be used to approve transactions. Why use Secure2u? Secure2u requires users to link their smartphone to their M2U account, which means that any and all transactions can only be approved from the registered phone and nowhere else....

However, the genesis of the lawsuit seemed quite clear since just a few days before it was filed, TM has terminated its sponsorship for MFL after both parties were apparently not able to agree on certain aspects of the deal which was signed in January 2018. Hence, it was not surprising that MFL has demanded a huge chunk of money from TM, in the tune of more than RM 400 million since the latter decide to bail out within two years of their eight-year partnership....

According to the telco, it was running two types of tests including the 5G New Radio (NR) Carrier Aggregation (CA) test which is to obtain single user peak speed. Running on 3.5GHz C-band spectrum, Maxis was given the green light by the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to run the test at its Subang Jaya sites with a bandwidth of 200MHz for two months. As a comparison, Malaysian telcos that are participating in the 5G deployment were provided with 100MHz of bandwidth for C-band spectrum which resulted in download speed of up to 1....

However, it seemed that Maxis has since deactivated the feature in the same manner that it was made available to its customers: without any fanfare at all. First highlighted to us by Twitter user @neverthar and verified by @tcp_asdf who was among the first to previously point out Maxis’ eSIM Quick Transfer feature to Lowyat.NET, the telco has even removed references to the feature from the eSIM section of its website....

To keep the SIM active, users under Internet 365 had to top-up a minimum of RM5 every 60 days, but with the new Hotlink Prepaid Pantas, users now have to reload a minimum of RM10 within a 30-day period. Aside from that, all internet passes purchased still come with 365-day validity. For comparison, the Internet 365 plan came with 10GB for RM20, 4GB for RM10, and 2GB for RM6. And just like the previous plan, Prepaid Pantas comes with the option to have one year of SIM validity for RM30, so that light users wouldn’t have to worry about topping up every month....

As stated in the final report (FR) of the spectrum bands allocation that the regulatory body published on 31 December 2019 [pdf], MCMC has decided that the existing arrangement for these two bands would remain for the time being. The next review of these bands will only take place in 2021 according to the regulatory body. In the MCMC’s public inquiry (PI) document that was published back in July [pdf], here is how the current spectrum holding looks like:...

Chinese news site Mydrivers reports that the company has issued an official statement to that effect. But in addition to just not doing business with Huawei, Micron has also reportedly asked its partners to also not sell to Huawei anything with Micron chips.

But that hasn’t deterred its followers from trying to “argue their worthiness” to own it....
