State Infrastructure and Transport Committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari said that the state will distribute an additional 30,000 passes in 2023 which will increase the total number of Mutiara Pass to 150,000. On top of that, the state’s allocation for this programme will be increased from RM6 million to RM7.5 million. The Mutiara Pass actually started out as a paid monthly pass just like My50 but in March 2021, the Penang state government has sponsored 100,000 passes worth RM3 million....

He added that dashcam recordings could also help police scrutinise untowards events on the road and public areas. These include scams where individuals intentionally throw themselves in front of your vehicle with the intention of making false insurance claims, or even extort money from you as “compensation” for the “accident”. One such notable (albeit poorly executed) incident was shared by a Malaysian motorist last year, who luckily recorded the whole thing on their vehicle’s dashcam which helped foil the scammer’s plan....

The company claimed that the new AR2G1 is the world’s first purpose-built platform for head-worn augmented reality (AR) devices. Just to be clear, this is a different solution than the existing Snapdragon XR2 Gen 1 and XR2 Plus Gen 1 which were primarily designed for mixed reality (MR) and virtual reality (VR) headsets. [Image: Qualcomm]The AR2G1 on the other hand is made for AR glasses which explains why it is being designed to fit directly inside the glasses’ arm/temples....

If you felt the same way when you read my two reviews of said mice, then you’ll be glad to know that, last month, the company announced a wired version, the DeathAdder V3. And while it’s still a pricy gaming mouse, it’s a much easier recommendation than any of the wireless variants. After all, we’re looking at a price reduction of over 50%, from RM749 to RM349, and that’s not even counting the pricey optional extra needed to bring out the most of them....

No local launch date has been announced yet but the Buds Air 5 Pro have already been listed on the SIRIM database, receiving certification on 9 May with the model number RMA2120. With this listing, it is most likely that the earbuds will be coming here sooner rather than later. The Buds Air 5 Pro sport 11mm woofers and 6mm planar drivers offer what the brand claims to be twice the frequency response range of the Buds Air 3....

The top-tier device of this second wave is the Note 12 Pro 5G, which shares many of the same specs and design as the top-on-the-line Note 12 Pro Plus 5G. In fact, it even uses the exact same chipset, with the only significant differences being in the main camera and the charging speed. The Note 12 Pro 5G sports a 6.67-inch 1080p AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 900 nits....

The biggest improvement with the A14 over its predecessor is the display where the resolution has been bumped up from 720p to a Full HD display. Other than a nominally bigger 6.6-inch LCD screen, it retains the 90Hz refresh rate. Design-wise, the phone replaces the rounded edges with more industrial flat edges as well as what seems to be a textured backplate. The Samsung Galaxy A14 5G runs on the exact same internals as its predecessor, with a MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset, 4GB of RAM, and either 64 or 128GB of internal storage....

From the photo, the compact foldable smartphone is shown to be encased in a protective cover that’s likely intended to hide its overall design. Despite this, the device’s key feature – the newer and larger external display – is still very visible, thus confirming prior design leaks of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 provided by tech insiders such as OnLeaks and IceUniverse. — Revegnus (@Tech_Reve) June 25, 2023 Also seen is its dual external camera setup and flash that’s located below the aforementioned screen, as well as a visible lock button and volume rocker on the right-hand side of the phone....

Along with the brand reveal, Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida also presented an all-new Afeela prototype sedan onstage during the event, though it currently lacks an official designation. Unlike the original Vision-S model shown a few years back, the new four-door EV is shown to feature a more sleeker, rounded and longer design, along with several new features that are exclusive to it. For starters, gone are the traditional headlights from the Vision-S prototypes, which are now replaced with a continuous light bar design instead....

Though featuring different designs, the duo are touted by Sony to be lightweight and comfortable, allowing them to be used for hours upon end. Both feature tiltable earcups for better conformity, which are also swivelable for ease of storage. In terms of colour selection, the high-end headphones is offered in black, blue and white options, while the entry-level model is available in black, blue, cream and white.

The Sony Mocopi is a motion capture kit that consists of six sensors, each about the size of, say, an Apple AirTag. Each measures 32mm across in diameter, and weights about 8g, and are labelled for which part of your body they are supposed to be strapped to – one for your head, one for your hip, one for each wrist and one for each ankle. They are also dust-proof and water resistant, with the usual IP65 / IP68 rating that you find on most of the brand’s smartphones....

The game is described as a 12-player squad-based FPS, with players being split into squads of four, with players picking between Assault, Support and Defense classes. There are objectives to complete beyond killing every alien bug you see, such as resource gathering, but there are also elements of base building and resource management. Then at some point, you’ll be expected to escape to an extraction point. So far, this feels like a pretty unique mix of genres....

According to sources speaking to Vasantha Ganesan, the Associate Editor of The Edge, Lendlease who is the co-developer of The Exchange TRX at Jalan Tun Razak in Kuala Lumpur is currently in the advanced stage of negotiations with Apple. The Australian-based global construction and real estate company have apparently been trying to convince Apple to set up its first-ever Malaysian retail store at the upcoming retail and lifestyle area for the past two years....

While the listing said that there were around 2.7 million entries in the database, TM’s statement pointed out that the number of customers affected by the leak was much lower. That being said, the figure which stands at 250,248 customers is still significant. The company noted that all of the customers affected were indeed Unifi Mobile users. The leaked database which has personal data such as full name, phone number, and email also contained a mixture of both individual and SME customers....

JOYROOM car adapter review: Utilitarian design and build The Joyroom car charger has such a vast feature set that it confused me about where to begin with. Also, it is compact and weighs only 44 grams, which further assures me that the device won’t fall out during bumpy rides. Let’s look at all its features in a 5×4.5×7 cm form factor. It displays Bluetooth status, bass mode, and the voltage or FM radio frequency....

Here’s the story: according to a report by the US-based platform, CBS, five Ecuadorian journalists had each received USB drives in the mail. Those drives were supposed to explode upon being inserted into a USB port on a PC, thus causing as much chaos and personal damage to the journalist. However, due to some dark miracle, only of the drives exploded, and that explosion injured journalist Lenin Artieda, who miraculously also suffered mild injuries to his hand and face....

On the surface, this feels like an inconsequential feature to have. As it is right now, when you decide you want to edit a contact’s info from within WhatsApp, it simply redirects you to your phone’s built in phone book equivalent app. Which doesn’t take too long if you’re using a new, flagship-class device. Indeed, according to WABetaInfo which reported on this feature, all this will do is save a second or two of time....

As previously revealed by the company prior to the launch, the Xiaomi 13 Ultra boasts a curved all-screen front and a faux leather cladded rear panel, which also features a large circular camera bump.

For colour options, the Ultra variant will be available in Black, Olive Green and White....
