Previously in April, the AirAsia permitted only one piece of baggage not more than 5kg, but was later revised to 7kg after receiving public backlash for the decision. It explained that this was to minimise unwanted contact between a passenger and another’s baggage and vice versa, while also maintaining social distancing especially during embarkation and disembarkation. With the current update, passengers will be able to carry one cabin bag not exceeding the dimensions of 56cm (H) x 36cm (W) x 23cm (D) and must fit in the overhead storage compartment in the aircraft....

At the time of this publication, the post on Chiphell has since been removed, but not before several sites were able to save the images. Assuming the photos are real, it is safe to say that the cooler shroud cum heatsink of the RTX 4090 is huge and, at a glance, virtually identical in design to the RTX 30 Series Founders Edition heatsink design. For that matter, the photos also indicate that NVIDIA plans on retaining the same PCB design, as well as its dual-axial fan design....

According to a report by XDA, a merchant had listed what appears to be a Razer Phone 3 prototype up for sale on the Chinese online shopping platform. However, the device was then delisted not long after, and it is unknown if it was purchased or forced to be taken down. Fortunately, several users managed to save images of the phone prior to that. The photos suggest that the alleged Razer Phone 3 appears somewhat similar to its predecessor in terms of design language....

First up, the T-Rex 2 sports a slightly bigger 1.39-inch AMOLED display with an always-on feature and 1,000 nit peak brightness. The display is surrounded by a thick metal-coated bezel and the watch has two textured buttons on each side. It comes in four colourways and the companion Zepp app allows you to choose from dozens of watch faces or even upload a custom photo. As for its ruggedness, the smartwatch can withstand temperatures between 70C to -40C, has humidity resistance for 240 hours, salt spray resistance for 96 hours, ice and freezing rain resistance, and shock resistance....

The small nugget of information about RDNA3 – again, we cannot stress just how minor the details were – GPU architecture was basically Lisa Su, CEO of AMD, giving a small update about the progress the Radeon division has made. One breakthrough that Dr. Su was happy to share with us was its performance threshold and design. Design-wise, the RDA3 GPU will be using AMD’s new chiplet design. Dr. Su also said that, by comparison to the current RDNA2 architecture, fans and consumers could look forward to as much as a 50% increase in graphical performance over the last generation....

Like the current non-HEDT Ryzen CPU lineup, the Threadripper PRO 5000 WX Series CPUs are based on AMD’s 7nm Zen3 architecture, meaning that they also benefit from an increase in base and boost frequencies. More importantly, because it is based on the Zen3 architecture, that also means that these processors are now PCIe 4.0 ready. In terms of SKUs, the lineup comprises five CPU models: the 5945WX, 5955WX, 5965WX, 5975WX, and the 5995WX....

To kick off its newly acquired membership, AMD also announced that it is partnering up with blockchain technology provider, Robot Cache, and will be helping it launch its online gaming marketplace, ULTRA, in June 2020. Naturally, Robot Cache’s digital market will be powered by both AMD’s Ryzen-powered CPUs and Navi-powered Radeon graphics cards. In addition, the company will also use AMD EPYC CPUs in its back-end servers, as well as to facilitate block producing....

Instead, the CPU portion of these chips is still based on the 12nm Zen architecture. Additionally, they also don’t support PCIe 4.0 which is among the most touted feature of the Zen 2-based 3rd Gen Ryzen chips. So, what do these chips bring to the table then? All in all, you are mainly looking at improved clock speed although the Ryzen 5400 does come with additional feature such as better cooler, metal-based TIM, and the support for Precision Boost Overdrive Automatic Overclocking functionality....

So, without further ado, here is my update on the performance of the Ryzen 9 3900X. Specifications As before, the components I used to conduct my testing on the Ryzen 9 3900X remains largely unchanged, save for the CPU cooler. Prior to this, I was using the Mugen 5 Rev.5 Scythe Air Cooler with dual high-performance fans. Unfortunately, with the air cooler, I was unable to break past the 4....

In general, the Ryzen 3000XT chips offers a slight upgrade over their Ryzen 3000X counterparts. For example, AMD stated that the Ryzen 9 3900XT delivers up to 4% increase in single-threaded performance against the Ryzen 9 3900X (which we’ve reviewed before) at the identical TDP rating. Scheduled for release starting from 7 July 2020, here are their general specifications as well as USD pricing: Unlike their 3000X predecessors, only the Ryzen 5 3600XT comes bundled with an AMD Wraith Spire cooler while users need to obtain coolers by their own for the Ryzen 9 3900XT and Ryzen 7 3800XT....

The Eternals came from the mind of Jack Kirby and follows super-powered and near-immortal beings known as Eternals and their enemies the Deviants, who were created by cosmic beings called Celestials. The Eternals are known to have played a huge role in shaping our history and civilizations. We currently have very little information about the movie, but sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that “one aspect to the story involves the love story between Ikaris, a man fueled by cosmic energy, and Sersi, who relishes moving amongst humans....

The BNPL feature will let users in the US split any purchase into four equal payments spread out over six weeks, with customers paying only a quarter of the full amount upfront while the rest is paid every two weeks. This will be available for checking out with Apple Pay and the Wallet app, either online or in-app using the Mastercard network. The tech giant promises zero interest on the instalments as well as zero fees, making it attractive for those who might not be able to afford to pay a huge amount in one lump sum....

Representing the event is a multi-coloured doodle of the Apple logo, which may suggest the involvement of the company’s Pencil accessory, or maybe a new iteration of it. The name Spring Loaded, besides being a play of words on the current season, could also imply some sort of mechanism or feature. A new iPad with an integrated stylus accessory ala the Samsung Galaxy Note perhaps? But don’t take our word for it, as these are just mere (but wild) speculations of what Apple may have in store next week....

“State-sponsored actors like the NSO Group spend millions of dollars on sophisticated surveillance technologies without effective accountability. That needs to change,” said company senior VP of software engineering Craig Federighi. “Apple devices are the most secure consumer hardware on the market — but private companies developing state-sponsored spyware have become even more dangerous.” Apple’s lawsuit also detailed further regarding NSO Group’s alleged FORCEDENTRY exploit which has been used to target its platforms and devices, based on findings by security researchers Citizen Lab....

Interesting enough, it was only two years ago that Apple has just hit the USD 1 trillion market cap’s mark. Furthermore, the company managed to achieve this at a time where many companies throughout the world have been affected heavily by the global outbreak of COVID-19. The timing of the USD 2 trillion market valuation is quite apt as well since the next-generation iPhone lineup is expected to be revealed very soon....

South Korean news outlet The Elec reports that Apple will be moving Face ID under the screen for iPhone 16 Pro models of 2024. And it is very specifically only the Face ID tech, as the normal front-facing camera will still be sitting in a cutout in the screen. That being said, this cutout will likely be smaller since the TrueDepth infrared camera is going underneath the display. [Image: Apple....

Of course, the new features will have certain limitations to prevent people from abusing them. One of the modifications that Apple has made with the latest beta is reducing the time limit for unsending messages, tightening the limits even further. Initially, the tech giant set the limit for unsending messages to 15 minutes when it was first announced. Now, Apple is giving users only two minutes after messages are sent to undo it....

Apple prefaces the instructions with a warning that the project should only be undertaken by professionals in a factory environment. Interestingly, the company is also offering support to those who need assistance with the fabrication of the face shields. The page also details the required materials to make the face shields, and possible alternatives to them. This is followed by the face shield design, and a link to assembly instructions once they have been made....

The sources added that demand for silicon across a range of products and supply-chain disruptions from the current pandemic are main causes of the shortage. According to Bloomberg, main Apple chipmaker TSMC noted in October that 5G smartphones require 30% to 40% more chip content versus 4G, causing its customers to cache components for the fear of running out. In addition to this, Chinese smartphone maker Huawei is said to have stocked up massively ahead of a September deadline for US sanctions, which also impacted the supply chain....

Still focusing on the redesigned Apple TV, Bloomberg says that Apple’s upcoming home entertainment box would have integrated speakers, along with a camera for FaceTime. At this point, it doesn’t appear that the streaming box will have a display attached to it, meaning that users are probably going to have to connect it to a TV. Getting back to the HomePod and iPad hybrid, the product will also be fitted with a robotic arm, enabling the attached iPad to track your movements around a room and theoretically giving whoever is on the video call line in sight of you....
