Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, Piers Harding-Rolls from Ampere Analysis says that he is “not expecting a next-gen Nintendo console in 2023” with the company forecasting the release window to be 2024. That being said, he predicts that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, coming out in May, “will sell plenty of Switch hardware”. Which is a prediction we can get along with to a degree. It remains to be seen if it will sell new hardware to old-timers who got the original Nintendo Switch to play Breath of the Wild....

MacRumors spotted a change in an Apple support page that says that the first AirPods Pro ear tips “have noticeably denser mesh” than the sequel. The page also says that the ear tips have been designed specifically for their AirPods Pro generation “to deliver the highest-fidelity audio experience”. No other details were provided, but it implies that using the “wrong” ear tips will degrade sound quality. The Verge reports that despite the messaging, the ear tips of the two AirPods Pro generations can physically fit each other....

According to Reuters, the decision to stop the reviews came after the British news company, the Guardian, published a report about contractors hired by Apple tasked them with reviewing sets of private and confidential questions, tasks, and conversations that took place between Apple’s Siri and its consumers. The concept of a big tech company listening in on its customers or recording their private conversations isn’t exactly new. Like Apple, it was leaked that Google also hired contractors to listen on some of its Assistant’s recordings....

Part of the new information involves a “continuous loop” of a glass display around a device. In other words, it’s essentially like that of the aforementioned Mi Mix Alpha, having working screens on the front as well as back. It’s important to note that this is a patent update rather than a new filing. According to Patently Apple, the company has 13 patents relating to this tech. The first one also dates all the way back to 2013....

The lawsuit was filed with the US District Court in the state of California.

Additionally, the newly released Pro cable also comes with a braided sleeve that allows the cable to coil without tangling and likely some added durability....

According to a report by DigiTimes, Apple isn’t the only one planning to do this. Other Android vendors including Samsung and Xiaomi are contemplating the possibility of bundling their respective flagships devices with a pair of True Stereo Wireless (TSW) earbuds. Rather than the standard wired stereo headphones that typically come with all smartphones. The idea that Apple would consider bundling its future iPhone with a pair of AirPods can be interpreted as an extremely generous, if not extravagant move....

News of Ubisoft’s charitable offer of the second instalment in the series was first posted by industry analyst, Daniel Ahmad, on his official Twitter account. On a related note, Ahmad says that the offer appears to be global and also includes discounts on the game’s two sequels, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood and Assassin’s Creed Revelations. Moreover, the offer is not a part of the studio’s Uplay+ service. As the game and all associated titles in the series are already a part of the more than 100 PC titles that are available to subscribers....

That list, by the way, includes motherboards from the ProArt, Prime Series, TUF Gaming Series, and ROG Strix Series.

As a quick primer, this year’s G14 is slightly different than the previous two iterations of the laptop, in that ASUS has decided to make the laptop an all-AMD gaming machine. In other words, ASUS is ditching NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 30 series for mobile and switching out the discrete GPU for one of AMD’s new Radeon 6000S series. That brings us nicely to the subject of what is under the hood of the G14....

Going over what the laptop has to offer, the ASUS Vivobook 16X comes with, as the name suggests, a 16-inch LCD display. But rather than the usual 16:9 aspect ratio screen, this comes with a slightly less common 16:10 aspect ratio, with its 1920 x 1200 WUXGA resolution. Sitting above it is a webcam, which comes with a physical privacy shield. This also comes with the AMD Ryzen 5 5600 six-core processor, as well as the AMD Radeon Vega 7 integrated graphics....

According to the announcement, members of the public are able to do so through BPN’s official website which is under the responsibility of Internal Revenue Board (LHDN). Given the subject, it is not surprising to see that the website is pretty being overwhelmed by traffic. We tried to visit the site throughout the day but our attempt proved to futile as we kept on receiving Connection Timed Out error. If you are facing similar experience, worry not though as you can still check you BPN eligibility until 30 April 2020....
