If you’re familiar with last year’s 10T Pro, it’s pretty much the same story as this year’s entry, barring the expected incremental upgrades. But if you’re not, then here’s a fresh look at this year’s Xiaomi flagship smartphone. Specifications The Xiaomi 11T Pro comes with all the parts, bells and whistles that you’d expect from a flagship device. So nothing really stands out here, except maybe the price which, again, is not exactly new either....

The new Xiaomi Civi 2 sports a 6.55-inch 10-bit display panel with FHD+ resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, and 240 Hz touch sampling rate.

On the screen itself is a pill-shaped cutout featuring the aforementioned dual 32 MP front-facing cameras (a primary with autofocus and f/2.0 aperture, and an ultra-wide shooter with 100-degree FOV)....

The pre-installed app is called Guard Provider, and contains anti-virus scanners from Avast, AVL and Tencent that serve to detect potential malware. The security flaw found by the researchers lies within the app’s update mechanism. According to Check Point Research, the security app receives updates through an unsecured HTTP connection. Attackers could take advantage of the Avast Update APK to insert the malware via a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack. However, the attackers will need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the targeted Xiaomi device....

After insisting that cross-platform interaction was a bad idea, Sony had a change of heart late last September. For those who wanted to play Fortnite on every possible platform, though, they may have had made new ones just for the PS4, or had their account locked to the console and have had to make a new one for the Nintendo Switch. Now, you can combine both so that you don’t have to unlock everything twice....

Bloomberg reports that once this happens, viewers will get their videos streaming in standard definition by default. This means your videos will load in 480p.

At the time of writing, your default YouTube video resolution still depends on your internet connection....

One of whom is Harry Potter author, J.K. Rowling. Rowling has announced a new online platform called “Harry Potter at Home” for witches and wizards of all ages to explore while under quarantine.

But what is a NAS? To put it very simply, it’s a file server that connects to a network instead of a single computer. This then allows multiple devices connected to the network to store and retrieve files stored within it. Being a server instead of just a hard drive, you can set parameters to it so that not all files are accessible by everyone, and there’s an extra security layer if you’re worried about hackers breaking in....

Like a cosmic plague that desolates whole populations, Thanos could not be stopped from fulfilling his goal of bringing balance through galactic genocide. And now, he’s gone. Do not fret however because the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) still has plenty of excellent baddies to draw from their comic source material. Especially since Marvel Studios now have the rights to use characters from the X-Men and Fantastic Four universe. Honestly, we are spoiled for choices here....

Apple has since released the replacement ear cushions through its Malaysian online store and as expected, they don’t come cheap at RM 349 per pair: Users do not need any special tool to take out the ear cushions which were made from memory foam since they are magnetically mounted to the headphones and quite easy to remove. Aside from these ear cushions, the other first-party accessories that Apple has released for AirPods Max is the 3....

Designed as an alternative for traditional desktop machine out there, the Area-51m is being driven by an actual desktop processor with options of up to Intel Core i9-9900HK 8-core processor. At the same time, consumers can choose to have the new “laptop” with up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 graphics. Not only that, both hardware can be swapped out which give the Area-51m a major upgradability factor. That being said though, things are not exactly straight forward with its GPU though since it uses a custom implementation called Dell Graphics Form Factor which is not an industry standard…for the time being, at least....

The details were first spotted on the Userbenchmark database but as of this article’s publication, any and all details of the yet unreleased card have already been removed. Mercifully, Twitter user Rogame (@_rogame) managed to take a couple of screenshots of those details before it got taken down.

The Amsterdam-based service was founded only a few years ago in 2018, targeting a niche group of enthusiasts. Niche indeed, as the genre only makes up 1% of the total music consumed in the United States. Amongst fierce competition, the app stands out from the crowd by having a high level of specificity in its input. The app lets you search for musicians and albums, as well as more specific metadata such as the composer, conductor, soloist, or the choir, all of which are put together manually by Primephonic’s employees....
