According to multiple reports, the driver and his cohort were detained by Hong Kong customs officials after it was discovered that the suspects had used cling-film to wrap 256 Intel CPUs on to their bodies. Specifically, the CPUs are 10th generation Core i7-10700 and Core i9-10900K CPUs, with a total worth of US$123000 (~RM515431). The punchline here is that this wasn’t a one-off incident; more than a week later, another smuggling attempt was foiled, with customs officials finding 52 Intel CPUs hidden inside both the driver and passenger seats....

The thing is that the set will only be out by August, and that means you still have some time to kill before then. So if you’re looking to scratch that itch with other gaming console collectibles that are buildable and even ‘playable’, then we have several recommendations for you. Plus, we think these are definitely must-have items for gamers and collectors alike, especially if you’re a fan of the classic consoles from the late 80s to 90s era....

A thorough investigation by Corsair then discovered that the problems in these affected PSUs would begin showing themselves through a combination of high temperatures and high humidity. Before ultimately failing and shutting down. This was then boiled down to a problem that manifested itself in the AC conversion part of the PSU, but not the DC portion that generally interacts with PC components. Specifically, Corsair’s recall affects SF Series PSUs with lot codes between 194448xx and 201148xx, and manufactured between October 2019 and March 2020....

One of the users, Belinda Loh, said her vaccination certificate on MySejahtera listed South Korea’s SK Bioscience as the manufacturer of her first AstraZeneca dose with the batch number ABX6083, while her second dose with batch number PV46701 says that it was manufactured by Astra Zeneca UK. However, when Loh crossed-referenced both the batch numbers with the NPRA lot release certificates, Loh found that the manufacturers did not match. Instead, both batches were listed as being manufactured in Sweden under the Vaxzevria brand name....

Specs-wise, the P5 Plus is made using Micron’s Advanced NAND technology. Specs-wise, this new SSD is capable of delivering sequential read and write speeds of up to 6600MB/s and 5000MB/s, respectively and depending on the storage variant. On that note, the P5 Plus comes in three storage capacities: 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB. With the 500GB model, the sequential write speed is cut down to just 3000MB/s, while both the 1TB and 2TB models retain the stated 5000MB/s write speed....

To be fair, the Android version of the app isn’t being taken down from the Android ecosystem with immediate effect. Dark Sky says that services to the operating system will begin winding down and fully cease on 1 July this year. At which point, the app will be shut down. On that note, the developer has already removed the app from Google Play, making it no longer available for download....

Headlining the PS Plus free games list this month is Days Gone. It’s a PlayStation exclusive, and it sold relatively well. But it’s story was not a strong point. And while the zombie horde gameplay is interesting, most other parts had their own issues. The other game is X-Morph: Defense, which is an interesting mix of top-down shooter and tower defense. — PlayStation Asia (@PlayStationAsia) April 1, 2021 For the PlayStation 5, the free game of April is Oddworld: Soulstorm....

Of course, it goes without saying that both the technology and hardware have advanced considerably since 2007; with the m15 Ryzen Edition R5, the laptop now combines the power of AMD’s Ryzen 5000 H-Series Mobile series CPU with NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 30 series mobile GPUs. Specifically, users can opt between a Ryzen 7 5800H or an overclockable Ryzen 9 5900HX; either an RTX 3060 or RTX 3070 discrete GPU, both with a maximum TDP of 115W....

Through the new deal, Digi would be able to tap on Allo’s Level 2 High Speed Broadband Network Service and expand its home fibre service to more customers in selected areas within Melaka, Perak, and Cyberjaya. While the telco didn’t provide in-depth details regarding the expansion, Digi did say that the expansion would involve around 45,000 homepasses. Since Digi is more known as a mobile telco, its home fibre ambition might not seem obvious but the company aims to connect more than 3....

The telco did launch a new prepaid pack a few days later after the so-called glitch, but it still doesn’t contain any unlimited offerings. We thought that would be the end of the story but guess we spoked too soon as according to a report by Soya Cincau, Digi Prepaid Unlimited Pass made an appearance once again. However, this time around, the RM 35 monthly pass is only available through Digi Rewards’ Box of Surprise....

Bob Iger, CEO of Disney, told investors that the new streaming service will combine TV, movies and original productions from the “Disney Vault”. For context, Disney usually re-issue older movies such as Bambi, Dumbo and Snow White for the home video market every few years in the form of DVDs and Blu-ray pressings. In other words, we can expect these classics to be available all-year round, and on demand....

Reddit user -amsha- shared a shot of the record now immortalised in the latest edition of the book. At the time of writing, the comment by an EA community manager has 667817 downvotes. But at its lowest, according to the Guinness World Record entry, it had 683000 downvotes. And it’s pretty far ahead of the next most downvoted comment in the message board, which only had 88906. Back in 2017, EA defended its excessive monetising of Star Wars Battlefront 2 with the infamous “pride and accomplishment” comment....

EA Access itself doesn’t seem to have changed much, despite the increased promotion on Steam. The basic idea is still the same; you pay for a subscription that gets you perks equivalent to Origin Access Basic. No date has been announced yet, but it shouldn’t take too long now, considering the gap of over seven months since the initial announcement. But for now, the games added to Steam is probably more important....

What’s interesting is that Avengers: Infinity War was more of a Thanos movie than an actual Avengers movie. The Avengers were constantly on screen, but the spotlight was squarely on Thanos, which resulted in a thoroughly intriguing picture. And according to Joe Russo, it could’ve been so much more compelling. In an interview with ComicBook.com, Joe Russo mentioned that the initial drafts of Infinity War even explored Thanos’ childhood....

By comparison, the price slash is more or less the same as what Sun Cycle did with Zotac, knocking off an average of RM1000 from its RTX 2070 Super lineup, and up to RM1500 for its custom-cooled RTX 2080 Super cards. Starting from today, gamers and fans of the brand can pick up an EVGA RTX 2070 Super KO Gaming for RM1899, while the top-tier FTW3 Ultra version of the card will retail for RM2059....

But man, in reality, the movie was anything but that. Dark Phoenix received the lowest Rotten Tomatoes score in the franchise — an embarrassing 23%. Even X-Men Origins: Wolverine managed to score 37%. But this wasn’t one of those movies where critics crap all over the movie while producers laugh their way to the bank and fill their swimming pools with ‘dolla dolla bill y’all’. Dark Phoenix opened in North America to a disastrous $US 32 million, the franchises lowest opening weekend....

As expected of an RGB-equipped component, the crystalline light bar illuminates the inside of your casing, and does so with an eight zone RGB lighting. Additionally, the memory kits ship out with either gold or silver head spreaders attached to it. Of course, G.SKILL’s new memory kits also come with the performance to match its luxurious new look. The Trident Z Royal series are available in the following specifications:...
