JPJ Is Using GoPro Max Cameras To Spot Traffic Offences

By Leave a Comment

An informative article on Malaysia.

The Road Transport Department (JPJ) is equipping its motorcycle enforcement unit with 128 surveillance cameras to detect traffic offenders and monitor road users passing through roadblocks in hotspot areas during this Raya season. Specifically, the unit is using GoPro Max cameras which are able to capture 360-degrees footage.

JPJ will be focusing on spotting nine main traffic offences that have been found to be the cause of fatal traffic accidents. Some of the offences include not wearing safety helmets or seat belts, over-taking at double lines, violating traffic lights, using a phone while driving, and overloaded commercial vehicles.

JPJ Director-General Zailani Hashim said that when the offences are caught on camera, the offenders will first be called in for questioning before action is taken against them. The operation which will last until 9 May already kicked into high gear as 508 summonses have already been issued from 9 PM to 12 AM on the first day of the operation alone to 279 out of 1,137 vehicles that were inspected for various offences, including driving without a license and expired road tax.

The department also recently asked members of the public to help with its Ops Hari Raya Aidilfitri by reporting any traffic violations they witness through the e-Aduan section of the JPJ Info app although this feature is only available for Android at the moment. If you’re travelling during this Raya season, do take the proper safety precautions and remember to follow PLUS’ travel time advisory in order to optimise your travel time.

2022 All-new Lexus NX open for booking, NX 250 and NX 350 from RM370k

By Leave a Comment

An interesting post about Malaysia.

Lexus Malaysia has announced that the all-new second-generation NX SUV is now available for booking. Prices start from RM370,888 for the NX 250 Luxury while the NX 350 F Sport starts from RM389,888 on-the-road without insurance, and includes SST exemptions.

The NX 250 is powered by a 2.5-litre naturally-aspirated engine with 204 hp and 243 Nm, while the more powerful NX 350 F Sport gets a 2.4-litre turbocharged engine with 275 hp and 430 Nm.

Android

Both are fitted with 8-speed automatic transmissions, that feature Artificial Intelligence shift control. The system uses a camera to scan the road ahead, ensuring that the car is always in the right gear depending on the driving condition.

Car classifications

While it may be front-wheel drive most of the time, the Lexus NX can switch to all-wheel drive using the electronically-controlled AWD system to split power between the front and rear wheels. Lexus says the system reduces understeer and oversteer.

e-latch

The Lexus NX rides on the new Lexus Global Architecture (GA-K) platform that offers 30% more rigidity over the previous generation, for better handling and stability through the corners. Over 95% of the Lexus NX consists of completely new components.

Malaysia

Inside, the Lexus NX come with far lesser physical controls, reserved only for frequently-used features. Specifications are yet to be revealed except for the 14-inch infotainment display, a head-up display, Apple Car and Android Auto features.

Safety features are provided by the Lexus Safety System Plus (LSS+), that comes with autonomous emergency braking that detects pedestrians and bicyclists, adaptive cruise control with stop and go function, adaptive high beam, a panoramic view monitor and more.

NX

Among the highlights of the new Lexus NX is the e-latch door opener, that replaces the traditional two-step motion to open the doors from the inside – pulling the handle and pushing the door outwards. With the e-latch feature, passengers simply need to push a button to open doors from the inside in a single action.

Xiaomi 12 Series Roadshow Is Giving Away Free Mi TV P1 and Watch S1

By Leave a Comment

An informative article on Penang Malaysia.

Xiaomi may have provided a grand launch for its new flagship offering, the Xiaomi 12 Series in Malaysia last month but it seems that the launch party cycle for the series is not yet over. This is because the company is expecting to introduce Xiaomi 12 Series to more people at its Sunway Pyramid roadshow which is taking place from tomorrow until this coming Sunday, 24 April.

Interesting enough, the free TV will be given to customers regardless of whether they choose the standard Xiaomi 12 or the beefier Xiaomi 12 Pro.

Once the 100 Mi TV P1 are fully redeemed, customers will then be provided with the Xiaomi Watch S1 wearable which will be available for 200 customers throughout the course of the roadshow. Xiaomi also noted that a 1-year additional warranty and 6-month free screen replacement will be provided to the Xiaomi 12 Series customers during the roadshow as well.

Telegram Officially Rolls Out Spoilers Alongside Translation And Message Reactions

By Leave a Comment

An interesting article about Malaysia.

Messaging app Telegram has managed to squeeze in one last big update before the end of the year, packed with new features. One of which is the leaked spoiler hiding tool we saw not long ago and now is readily available at your disposal.

Another great feature that is part of the latest update for Telegram is the ability to translate texts from any of the languages available on your operation system. It’s available for all Android phones that support Telegram but for iPhones, this feature requires iOS 15 and newer. You’ll also be able to exclude any languages you already understand, so the Translate button won’t appear for messages in those languages.

Telegram is also adding message reactions in the style of iMessage, where you can double-tap a message to put in an emoji reaction to that specific text. They’re always enabled in private chats, but for groups and channels, it will be up to the admins as to which reactions will be allowed, if any.

There’s also the new themed QR codes that enable you to choose colours and patterns to customise a QR code for any group, channel, or public profile for you to share. Lastly, Telegram has also added seven new interactive emojis that can fill your screen with animation when you send them in private chats.

Netflix Free Mobile Plan Now In Vietnam

By Leave a Comment

A really good article on Penang.

After Kenya, Netflix is also making its free tier available to users in Vietnam. In case you are not familiar with it, the free plan also has no ads and won’t ask for any payment information when users create a free account.

The only catch is that it is exclusive to Android smartphones and you can’t cast content to a TV or other display. Netflix also limits the titles available under the free plan to only a select few popular ones, meaning users have to pick up the paid plan if they want to watch other titles.

Netflix Free Plan Vietnam signup

As with the free plan in Kenya, free users in Vietnam also can’t download episodes for offline viewing, but Netflix says this feature will be enabled in the near future. Everything else works as is, including the ability to make up to five profiles. That being said, the company makes no mention of whether free accounts have access to the recently launched Games feature.

It seems that the streaming giant is using this free plan to attract more subscribers by hooking them in and hoping they’ll love it enough to upgrade to watch on bigger screens. Vietnam has a population of more than 97 million and in 2019, Netflix said that its subscriber base in the country was less than 300,000. This makes Vietnam a huge untapped market for Netflix, whose subscriber growth has been slowing down lately.

Nokia G10, C20, and C01 Plus Now Official In Malaysia: Price Starts From RM 359

By Leave a Comment

An interesting article about Malaysia.

In addition to the 5G-enabled X20, HMD Global has also launched several other new Nokia Android phones for the Malaysian market. One of them is the Nokia G10 which also made its original global debut back in April together with X20.

That being said, the G10 was meant for the lower-end market which is reflected by its general specs and pricing. Equipped with a 6.5-inch HD+ display, this particular model is powered by MediaTek Helio G25 and it came with 4GB of RAM as well as 64GB internal storage in Malaysia.

Android

Other than that, the G10 also features a 13MP main camera on its back that is accompanied by a 2MP macro camera and 2MP depth sensor. For selfies, the phone relies on an 8MP front camera while it is also equipped with a 5050mh battery that HMD Global said can last up to three days.

HMD Global has also brought over two new Android Go-based phones into our market in the form of Nokia C20 and Nokia C01 Plus. Both of these models are powered by Unisoc SC9863A octa-core processor and carry the same amount of RAM at 2GB.

Malaysia

Even though the shape of their rear camera modules is different, both phones still feature a 5MP camera together with a 5MP selfie camera. They even come with a 3000mAh removable battery.

However, the C20’s storage is much larger at 32GB while C01 Plus is limited to 16GB. Similarly, they also feature different screen sizes at 6.5 and 5.45-inch, respectively.

MediaTek
Nokia C01 Plus.

In terms of availability, the Nokia G10 can be obtained for RM599 by the end of October while the Nokia C20 and C01 Plus are readily available immediately for RM399 and RM359, respectively. All three models can be purchased through Nokia Mobile official stores on Lazada and Shopee as well as authorized retailers throughout Malaysia.

MySejahtera Check-Out Feature Now Available For Android

By Leave a Comment

An interesting article about Malaysia.

The team behind MySejahtera has recently implemented the check-out feature on the app together with the new UI for its check-in section through update v1.0.45. It was only available for iOS and Huawei devices at first but that has just changed as Android users are now able to download and install it as well.

In terms of design and functionality, the check-out feature and new check-in UI in MySejahtera for Android is identical to other platforms. Hence, what we have covered before in our brief guide for the check-out feature, which was based on the iOS version, is still applicable for Android.

Android

On a related note, don’t panic if you somehow forgot to perform the check-outs after you leave the premises as the Ministry of Health has said that you will be automatically checked out once you perform the check-in at a new location. Additionally, there is no such thing as an RM1,500 fine for those who forgot to perform the check-outs inside MySejahtera.

Meanwhile, the update v1.0.45 also includes the new QR code format for the digital vaccine certificate inside MySejahtera to Android devices. As per what we have mentioned in our previous report, the new format was originally implemented via update v1.0.43 that was somehow not released through Google Play.

Ministry of Health

Android users out there can download the MySejahtera v1.0.45 update through the Google Play app inside their device or visit the app’s listing at the marketplace’s official website right here.

The Check-Out Feature On MySejahtera: Here Is What You Need To Know

By Leave a Comment

A really good article on Penang.

MySejahtera has received a major update today that carries several interesting changes to the national COVID-19 app. One of them is the new interface for the app’s Check-in section which not only shown the visibility of users’ risk status but it also now displays their vaccination status as well.

Aside from that, the update v1.0.45 also marked the debut of the check-out feature on MySejahtera. According to Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin who announced the update through a tweet yesterday, the new feature is meant to help improve the contact tracing process.

After using the newly updated app for iOS earlier today, we decided to craft this brief guide to share our experience. So, let’s dig in.

HOW TO OBTAIN THE CHECK-OUT FEATURE

Android

If you using Apple and Huawei devices, then the MySejahtera update v1.0.45 is already available for you.

For Apple users, just go to the App Store on your device, search for the MySejahtera listing, and press update. Similarly, Huawei users can obtain the update from AppGallery.

App Store
[L] MySejahtera’s iOS version history alongside the latest version release on Huawei AppGallery (top right) and Google Play (bottom right).

While this sounds rather odd, the update is somehow not yet available for Android. At the time this article goes live, the Android version of MySejahtera is currently two updates behind as the version listed on Google Play is still v1.0.42 which was released into the marketplace on 2 August 2021.

This means Android devices have not yet even received the new QR code format for the digital vaccination certificate which was implemented as part of the update v1.0.43 that was released on 20 August. The new format was designed to work with another app called Vaccine Certificate Verifier that we have discussed in detail through this report.

Apple
[L – R]: The digital vaccine certificate on MySejahtera v1.0.43/v1.0.45 and v1.0.42.

On a related note, it seems that MySejahtera’s development team decided to jump from v1.0.43 straight to v1.0.45. The reason is not known but it is not exactly a unique decision though as the team has also skipped v1.0.41, v1.0.36, v1.0.32, and much more previously.

 

HOW DOES IT WORK

Google

In its essence, the update v1.0.45 for MySejahtera did not bring any changes to the existing check-in process. Even though the home page of the app’s Check-in section looks slightly different now, the process is still the same: click the Check-in button on the splash page, scan the QR code, and the check-in success page would then appear.

However, pay closer attention to the check-in success page and you should notice the check-out button at the bottom of the page. Once you press that button, the check-out success page would then appear:

Health Minister

As you can see, the check-out success page has the same design as its check-in counterpart except for the “Out” label on the top part of the box. Alternatively, you can also check-out using the Last Check-in box on MySejahtera’s Check-in section which is also one of the new additions to the app that was delivered via update v1.0.45.

Huawei

What if you have to perform check-in to multiple locations back-to-back? For example, at a shopping mall, whereby you have to check-in at each shop that you visited individually. Certain malls like Mid Valley Megamall have even put up MySejahtera’s check-in QR code for different floors.

In other words, how can you perform check-out from a previous location? So, what you need to do here is go to the home page of MySejahtera’s Check-in section and click on History that is located within the Last Check-in box.

Khairy Jamaluddin

After that, click on the location that you want to check-out and its check-in success page would appear again. From there, just press the check-out button as per what we have mentioned before and you are done.

With update 1.0.45, the History log will also keep track of your check-out activities. Unfortunately, there is no bulk check-out option though as you have to perform it on each location individually.

Minister

For many of us, we don’t really think too much of MySejahtera once we have performed the required check-in process. Hence, it may take quite some time for many to get used to the idea of checking out from their location even though the intention behind the implementation sounds rather vital.

Meanwhile, do expect additional changes to be implemented on MySejahtera in the coming weeks and months as Minister Khairy has hinted in his tweet yesterday that there are still more things to come as far as the app is concerned. On that note, we do hope that the development team can at least update the Android version of the app first before going any further or may risk losing vital statistics as the majority of the population is using Android devices.

WhatsApp Beta Expands Multi-Device Support To Include iPad and Android Tablets

By Leave a Comment

A great post about Penang.

WhatsApp’s multi-device support development is looking to be progressing quite well. According to WABetaInfo (via Twitter), the Facebook-owned private messaging platform is currently working on a beta update which will expand the list of compatible devices to include both iPad and Android-based tablets.

As most of us are aware prior to this, so far the only allowed non-phone devices that can be linked to a single WhatsApp account are personal computers such as desktops, laptops or Macs. Users can access their chats outside of their phone via the web client, desktop app or Facebook’s Portal platform by first scanning a QR code that is displayed on these devices. 

WhatsApp Multi-Device Support Ipad Android Tablets
Screenshots via WABetaInfo.

While the linking process for iPad and Android tablets weren’t detailed by WABetaInfo, it is likely that the steps would be similar to a degree – especially via web and Portal. The publication also claims that WhatsApp will release a dedicated app for multi-device use on both tablet platforms, but did not mention an expected date of availability. It’s worth noting that even though iPad and Android tablets do support the main WhatsApp mobile app, a dedicated account (and number) on these devices are required in order to access all features.

The inclusion of tablet support is also reflected in the main app’s list of paired devices, where users can keep track of recent logins. As you may recall from our previous report, WhatsApp also appears to be enhancing user authentication for the multi-device feature by including biometric-based verification, among other things. Another worthwhile feature that it plans to introduce is the ability for users to seamlessly chat on all linked devices without requiring their phone to be connected to the internet.

Unfortunately, there’s still no word on whether the platform is planning to allow users to link multiple phones to a single account. But seeing that tablet devices are soon to be added into the list, the possibility for the future inclusion of smartphones may not be far off.

Much like before, all of the existing and upcoming multi-device functionalities are only available in the beta version of WhatsApp. It is not known when the private messaging platform plans to have the feature available to the public.

Lamborghini Officially Unveils Its New Limited Edition Countach LPI 800-4 Supercar

By Leave a Comment

A really good post about Penang.

Lamborghini has finally unveiled its new Countach LPI 800-4, which is a fully modernised version of the iconic supercar to celebrate its 50th anniversary. True to what was teased and leaked prior to this, the model will sport a new design and a hybrid powertrain, as well as several new modern additions to both its interior and exterior.

The updated Countach’s redesign isn’t as retro-inspired like Hyundai’s modernisation of its Pony hatchback, which retains most of the car’s original 1975-era aesthetics. Instead, the new model sports a modern wedge design that is similar to current generation Lamborghini supercars such as the Aventador and Sián, while still maintaining some recognisable features from the original. The car also lacks a rear spoiler, which is likely a homage to the original 1971 concept. Another nod to the prototype is the “Countach” branding that is situated on the vehicle’s thin front grille – a design element that is removed from the actual LP400 production model and its successors.

Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 Official price

The new car comes with a chassis, panels and other miscellaneous parts that are made out of carbon fiber, giving it a dry weight of 1,595kg. Modern touches include movable air vents and a cool photochromatic roof that can shift from solid to transparent electronically via a touch of button. Of course, no Lambo is complete without the car maker’s signature scissor doors, but Countach purists will be disappointed to know that the new model does not come with pop-up headlights.

Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 Official price

Found inside the new Countach is an interior that somewhat resembles the Lamborghini Sián’s, complete with an 8.4-inch touchscreen for managing the car’s controls. The car maker noted that the infotainment system is compatible with Apple CarPlay, but made no mention of Android Auto. Also found in the interface is a “Stile” button, which enables the system to explain to users (assumingly verbally) regarding the Countach design philosophy when pressed – because why brag about your new car when the vehicle itself can do it for you?

Countach

Next up is what most of us are eager to find out: its performance. Under the Countach LPI 800-4 is the aforementioned hybrid powertrain, which consists of a 6.5 litre naturally-aspirated V12 engine and a Lithium-Ion supercapacitor-powered 48V electric motor. This enables the car to generate an output of 770 horsepower (hp) via the engine, and an additional 33hp from the motor – totalling up to 803hp when combined. Lamborghini claims that the supercar is able to go from nought to 100km/h in just 2.8 seconds and features a top speed of 355km/h, which is on par with the Aventador Ultimae and the Sián.

Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 Official price

As mentioned in our previous report, the new Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 will be a limited release – with only 112 units planned to be shipped in the first quarter of 2022. By the way, “112” is actually a reference to the original 1971 Countach prototype’s internal project name. If you have the cash to throw, you can order the new model at a modest price of only US$ 2.64 million (~RM 11.2 million). For the rest of us who wish to get our hands on this new supercar, our best option is to wait for it to be featured in video games such as Gran Turismo or Forza.
