Instagram Lite is just less than 2MB in size, making it fast to install and quick to load. For comparison’s sake, the full-sized version needs 30MB of space. App developers apparently took a page out of Facebook Lite and offloaded much of the code for phone app into the cloud. To maintain a reliable performance, developers cut much of the elaborate, data-rich animation, such as cube transitions and the AR filters people can apply to faces....

Specifically, causes must correspond to one of the 14 categories, including Medical, Education, Faith, Community Projects, Hobbies, and Personal Emergencies....

The new feature was discovered by Jane Manchun Wong, a researcher who conducts tests on unreleased features in various applications. Aside from the aforementioned tag on the profile page, she adds that the platform will also provide a link to their Help Center Page as well. “We’ve been working on these updates for some time,” said Instagram spokesperson Liza Crenshaw when approached by BuzzFeed. “Through this one – among others – that we’ve accelerated in light of COVID-19 to help support our community during a difficult time....

The semiconductor company explains that the new update adds support for pure integer scaling, which “it scales up the existing pixels by an integer multiplier” and also nearest-neighbour (NN) interpolation “by filling in missing colour values in the upscale image with the coordinate-mapped nearest source of the pixel value”. Like NVIDIA’s Turing-based Integer Scaling, Intel’s Retro Scaling is typically aimed at games released in that retro, pixelated graphics style. It basically takes a blurry image, and then proceeds to upscale and sharpen it to make it Pixel games such as Terraria and FTL (Faster Than Light) will benefit from Retro Scaling feature as the visual details will be preserved even if the display resolution increases....

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that the iPhones of 2020 will have two 5G modem suppliers. One of them obviously being Qualcomm, while the other will be Samsung. That said, it looks like Apple will be segregating the two modems based on their corresponding markets. According to Kuo’s research notes as obtained by MacRumors, Apple will use Qualcomm’s 5G modems for mmWave markets, while Samsung’s 5G modems will be used in Sub-6GHz markets....

According to official specifications, the iQOO 11 5G sports a flat 6.78-inch AMOLED display with 1440 x 3200 pixel resolution, 20:9 aspect ratio, 300 Hz touch sampling rate, and a refresh rate of 144 Hz. The latter of which pits the new smartphone on par with competitors such as the likes of the ROG Phone series from ASUS. On that note, despite being marketed as a gaming-centric smartphone, the new device features a minimalist look rather than the typical loud and flashy designs of its competitors....

On top of that, successful applicants will also stand a chance to be part of the first pre-order batch for the upcoming smartphone that is limited to only 600 units, as well as take part in a lucky draw during launch day.

Nevertheless, Zack Snyder himself has religiously fed the online community with nuggets of information over the past two years. Pieces of concept art for the movie keep showing up. Plot details from the unused script have been discussed. Overall, the cast and crew also have been very supportive of Snyder’s vision, save Jesse Eisenberg. Eisenberg, who played Lex Luthor in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, recently sat down with the Toronto Sun to promote his new movie, Resistance....

The John Wick franchise has done a nice job in establishing itself as one of the greatest action franchises of all time. Thus far, the movies have been balls to the wall bonkers, filled with adrenaline pumping, blood-soaked action sequences that set the bar for the action genre moving forward. I say all of that without a trickle of hyperbole. But what if I told you that the first movie is pretty much a character drama, next to the insanity that is John Wick: Chapter 3....

For those who are not familiar with myIDENTITY, it is essentially the national data sharing platform for the public sector that allows government agencies to obtain one’s personal details from a centralised repository. 10 agencies including both JPN and LHDN are currently linked to the platform which first went live in June 2012. First highlighted by a local Intrusion Analyst, Adnan Shukor, the seller noted that the database contained plenty of important information such as full name, NRIC number, mailing & permanent addresses, mobile number, and e-mail address....

In a chat with Entertainment Weekly during Disney’s 2019 D23 Expo, Kevin Feige and Tom Holland shared their thoughts on the outcome of the Marvel-Sony dispute. Kevin Feige, of course, shared his gratefulness in a diplomatic manner. Tom Holland’s words, in particular, made me teary-eyed, especially because of how absolute all of it sounds. And if that doesn’t bring you to tears, then perhaps this next quote will. During the Disney animated film, Onward presentation at D23, Holland turned to the crowd and said:...

In response to the alarming spike of COVID-19 cases, newly added to the app is the “Hantar Barang” option where users can employ part-timers (known as GoGetters) from the GoGet community platform to help purchase and deliver items to those in need.

To be exact, the N95 filter is able to remove 95% of harmful air particles and also 98% of PM2.5 dust particles, which greatly aids in promoting respiratory health in the vehicle’s cabin. The filter itself is built into the upgraded Proton X70’s air-conditioning system and functions in both fresh and recirculation modes. However, Proton notes that the newly introduced air filter is not meant to be a replacement for face masks, especially with the current situation at hand....

The publication says that the image of the unannounced smartwatch was discovered by developer Steve Moser after going through Meta’s companion mobile app for its Ray-Ban Stories AR sunglasses on iOS. On that note, it is very likely that both products can be used together, although it is unclear to what extent. On to the device itself, the image supplied by Moser reveals that Meta’s first ever smartwatch to feature a display with heavily rounded corners and, most interestingly, a front-facing camera housed within a notch that is positioned on its bottom half....

In fact, some might think that the G502 Lightspeed is just a wireless version of the existing G502 Hero wired gaming mouse due to the similarities between their physical design. Truth to be told though, Logitech apparently has to rework almost all aspects of the mouse in order to deliver the wireless capability which not only involved the Lightspeed tech but also PowerPlay wireless charging functionality. Nevertheless, the G502 Lightspeed still comes with the same Hero 16,000 DPI sensor and additional weight blocks that allow users to customize the weight of the mouse to their liking....
