Specifications, Images And Video Of An Alleged DJI Air 2S Drone Leaks

By Leave a Comment

An informative article about Penang Malaysia.

Details and media of an unannounced DJI Air 2S have recently surfaced online,  thanks to several industry sources. The drone is expected to be an updated version of last year’s Mavic Air 2, equipped with various improvements and added compatibility with newer DJI peripherals.

Based on the images provided by TechnikNews and WinFuture’s Roland Quandt as well as a leaked teaser trailer by OsitaLV, the DJI Air 2S features a new 1-inch 20MP sensor for its onboard camera – among others that we will get to in a bit.  While the megapixel count is assumingly lower than its predecessor, the newer sensor still offers a larger pixel size – therefore offering clearer and brighter images, especially in low light conditions.

Technik News added that the new drone would also feature the latest version of DJI’s ActiveTrack feature which enables for more accurate and responsive tracking of subjects, as well as OcuSync 3.0 for improved low-latency communication between the drone and its pilot. Powering the device is said to be a 3,500mAh battery.

Meanwhile, DroneDJ reports that the Air 2S will include compatibility and support with DJI’s more recent accessories. These are said to include the V2 Goggles and motion controller that was launched together with the new FPV drone last month.

Lastly, one of the leaked images also revealed what appears a Fly More bundle which includes extra fan blades, cables and batteries, as well as other accessories. Naturally, the package also comes with the drone itself and its respective controller.

The expected pricing and release date for the DJI Air 2S is still not known for now. However, DroneDJ noted that the drone’s listing has been recently spotted in the US’ FCC database, which indicates that an official launch may happen sometime soon.

Fundraising For Southeast Asia Tech Startups Steady Despite Pandemic

By Leave a Comment

An informative post on Penang.

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, fundraising for Southeast Asian tech startups remained steady in 2020, Bloomberg said citing a report by venture capital firm Cento Ventures. Big winners include Grab, Go-Jek and Go-Pay, Bukalapak, and Traveloka – together they received over half of all investment last year.

Tech startups in Southeast Asia raised a total of US$8.2 billion (~RM34 billion) in 2020 – just a 3% drop compared to 2019. Most of that capital (70%) headed to Indonesia, while Malaysia just received a paltry 5% of the total investment volume.

To be fair, Thailand and Vietnam got 5% and 4% respectively. And there’s an obvious reason why Indonesia is such hot real estate – its 270 million plus population.

The bigger picture is that the raging pandemic has barely dampened investment appetite, which is why Grab’s fintech unit raised US$300 million (~RM 1.21 billion) in January. Grab is also mulling a US IPO later this year.

Furthermore, any skittishness about the pandemic-stricken economy is quickly counteracted by the massive demand for e-commerce and contactless payment. Unsurprisingly, over half of tech investment in the region went to super-app companies and online retailers – reaching over US$4 billion (~RM16.6 billion) last year.

And you wonder why everyone and their mother talks about super-apps these days. If anything, the pandemic has made them invaluable to our daily lives.

“2020 offered a harsh reason to reassess how technology can be harnessed to maintain vital function of the society,” said Dmitry Levit, a partner at Cento Ventures, told Bloomberg.

Nearly Two-Thirds Of Google Searches End With No Clicks At All

By Leave a Comment

A great article about Malaysia.

Almost two-thirds (or 64.82%) of Google searches in 2020 ended without people clicking through to another website, market research firm SparkToro found using data from SimilarWeb. In other words, people mostly just looked at the search results page and then decided to move on.

While that may be surprising, it really shouldn’t be. It can be argued that Google isn’t a search engine anymore, but an all-knowing guru. Type in any question and chances are, you’ll receive an answer on the search results page itself with no further clicking required.

This obviously applies to currency and time conversions, weather queries, and mathematical calculations. But it also helps that Google is integrated with Wikipedia – search for “nyan cat” and you’ll see a preview of its Wikipedia entry.

This is generally a good thing and Google deserves much credit for anticipating what users need and want. But it also implies that the tech giant has created this closed ecosystem and hogs all the traffic for itself.

So Google pushed back pretty hard against SparkToro’s findings, saying that they were based on “flawed methodology”. The company said that people searching multiple times as they reformulated their queries would falsely inflate the search-to-click ratio.

Someone looking for sneakers, it said, might go through a few zero-click searches before ultimately clicking through to a retailer’s website. Furthermore, people directly connecting with businesses, or navigating directly to apps would skip the traditional click-through altogether.

“We send billions of visits to websites every day, and the traffic we’ve sent to the open web has increased every year since Google Search was first created,” the company declared.

Are you wondering why Google even bothered to respond? Consider that the tech giant has recently been in the sights of US and European regulators over antitrust issues.

Elon Musk Says That Tesla Cars Are Now Payable By Bitcoin

By Leave a Comment

An interesting post on Penang Malaysia.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced by tweet that the company is now accepting vehicle purchases made with Bitcoin. On social media, the maverick entrepreneur has long been a passionate promoter of cryptocurrencies.

Accordingly, he declared that Bitcoin paid to Tesla would be retained as is and not converted to (traditional) fiat currency. When it comes to processing payments, he said “Tesla is using only internal and open source software, and operates Bitcoin nodes directly.”

Right now, only Tesla’s US customers are allowed to pay with the aforementioned cryptocurrency. Musk also noted that the (Bitcoin) payment option would expanded outside the US sometime later this year. However, he didn’t provide further details.

Last month, Tesla bought US$1.5 billion (~RM6.2 billion) worth of bitcoin and indicated then that it planned to accept the cryptocurrency as payment for its cars. Now, unsurprisingly, the former’s fortunes may be irrevocably entwined with the latter.

According to CNBC, over the last 12 months, Tesla share prices rose from about US$100 (~RM413) to over US$600 (~RM2,478), while bitcoin jumped from about US$7,000 (~RM28,907) to over US$55,000 (~RM227,123).

In another Tesla-related news, Musk recently denied claims that cameras on Tesla cars were used to spy on the Chinese government. He said the company would “get shut down” if it used cars that way.

Facebook Unveils New Changes That Aim To Make Groups Safer

By Leave a Comment

A great article on Penang Malaysia.

Facebook announced new changes to Groups that are designed to combat harmful content like hate speech and misinformation. Going forward, the social media giant will throttle the reach of rule-breaking groups – both public and private – as well as punish rule-breaking members.

Groups that start to violate Facebook rules will now be shown lower in recommendations. Facebook has also entirely removed civic and political groups from recommendations in the US – something it now plans to extend globally.

The company noted that it already did the same for health groups. It will also inform users when they’re about to join a group that has violated its community standards.

Apple

Facebook has previously drawn tremendous criticism for allowing political extremism and COVID misinformation on its platform – something that Apple CEO Tim Cook very publicly alluded to.

Now, Facebook is promising progressively punitive measures for rule-breaking groups and members up to complete removal. For severe cases, Facebook will opt for immediate removal without any steps – like reduced privileges and reach – in between.

Other changes include requiring admins and moderators to temporarily approve all posts when a group has a lot of rule-breakers or former members of other groups that were shut down for breaking rules. And if the admins and moderators themselves keep approving content that breaks Facebook’s rules, the whole group goes.

CEO

Facebook will also prevent repeat violators in groups from posting or commenting in any group for a certain period of time. They’ll also be barred from inviting others to groups or starting new groups.

Depending on how you looking at it, Facebook seems to be admitting that its previous whack-a-mole approach hasn’t worked. Now the platform keep tracks of violations across groups and accounts for possible coordination between rule-breakers.

It said the changes will be rolled out globally over the “coming months”. If you love to hang out in Facebook Groups or even manage some of them, we do recommend you to take a look at the list of changes that are coming your way right here.

Samsung Is Gearing Up To Launch Neo QLED 8K and 4K Smart TVs In Malaysia

By Leave a Comment

A great post on Penang Malaysia.

Back at CES earlier this year, Samsung has unveiled Neo QLED which the company has deemed as the next evolution of its QLED display technology. Available as 8K and 4K models, these new Neo QLED Smart TVs will be making their way to Malaysia soon.

The company recently has added Neo QLED Smart TVs into the catalogue on its Malaysian website. According to the listing, all four Neo QLED models will be released into our market including the top-of-line model, the QN900A.

As shown on Samsung Malaysia’s website on 12 March 2021.

Aside from their exterior design, among the main differences between the QN900A and the other Neo QLED 8K model which is the QN800A is their HDR performance. Samsung’s website said that the QN900A offers Quantum HDR 64x as opposed to the Quantum HDR 32x on QN800 except for the 65-inch variant of QN900A that maxes out at Quantum HDR 48x.

Other than that, the QN900A also has a higher sound output at 80W as compared to 70W for QN800A. Additionally, the Object Tracking Sound (OTS) technology implementation on the QN900A which is called OTS Pro supposedly much better than the OTS+ on QN800A although the sound is something that you need to hear for yourself before passing any judgement.

Meanwhile, it seems that those differences also apply to the QN90A and QN85A which are the two Neo QLED 4K models that have been listed on Samsung Malaysia’s website. For example, the HDR rating of QN90A is listed as Quantum HDR 32x while the QN85A carries Quantum HDR 24x label with it.

Equipped with a 4.2.2 surround sound system, Samsung has also implemented OTS+ on the QN90A as opposed to the standard OTA setup for QN85A which comes with a 2.2.2 sound system. Despite that, both models have the same audio output rating of 60W.

In terms of screen size, the QN900A and QN800A can be obtained with a 65, 75, and 85-inch display. On another hand, the QN90A and QN85A will be made available over here with a 55, 65, and 75-inch display. Samsung Malaysia has also listed the 85-inch option for the QN85A on its website.

The company has yet to reveal the pricing of its new Neo QLED Smart TVs in Malaysia. If you need a comparison though, the Neo QLED 8K models start at USD 3,499.99 (~RM 14,413) in the U.S while the 4K family has a starting price tag of USD 1,599.99 (~RM 6,589).

We will keep you updated once we have more information in our hands but for now, you can check out Samsung Malaysia’s official website if you want to learn more about its new Neo QLED Smart TVs lineup.

Porsche Taycan sets a new record of 165 km/h inside a convention centre

By Leave a Comment

A great article about Penang.

The phenomenal fully-electric Porsche Taycan sets another world record, but this time, it could be the shortest in distance and time.

Yesterday, the Guinness World Records recognized the Porsche Taycan Turbo S as the vehicle that achieved the fastest speed indoors.

The previous record of 140 km/h has not been broken since 2013, performed using a Speed Car XTRM Crosskart.

To beat the record, a suitable location was more difficult to find than a high-performance vehicle. The record must be done completely indoors, and Porsche USA choose the New Orleans Convention Centre, having the largest contiguous exhibit hall in the US.

On smooth road surfaces, the 761-horsepower Porsche Taycan Turbo S can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h and 160 km/h in just 2.8 seconds and 6.1 seconds respectively.

However, the floor in the convention centre is polished concrete. Porsche explains that driving a car at high speeds on such surface is almost like driving over ice.

Cars

Simple but important preparation work was done on the Porsche. Professional driver Leh Keen did some low-speed exploratory runs with the support crew warming up the factory-fitted Pirelli P-Zero tyres to ensure maximum grip and control off the starting line.

guinness world records

The team at Porsche USA also removed the Taycan’s LED headlamps, as the record requires the vehicle to be non-roadworthy.  

Getting the Taycan Turbo S to stop is just as tricky as the launch, with so little grip available on the polished concrete floor.

Pirelli

In just a single attempt, the Porsche Taycan Turbo S managed to achieve a top speed 165.2 km/h (102.65 mph) before Keen pressed gently on the 10-piston carbon-ceramic brakes, as the record guidelines require the vehicle to start and finish the exercise from stationary positions.

“To accelerate so hard on such an erratic surface was incredible. Not for a moment did I doubt I could do it,” said Keen after the only run.

Professional driver

The indoor land speed record adds to a long list of records done with the Porsche Taycan, as well as Porsche. Recently, two Porsche Taycans achieved 13 electric vehicle records in a day while a Taycan RWD did the longest drift at over 42 kilometres in distance.

16-year-old Chloe Chambers meanwhile rhythmed a Porsche 718 Spyder into the record for the fastest vehicle slalom in a time of 47.45 seconds.

Emily’s Steakhouse At Victoria Street, Georgetown, Penang

By Leave a Comment

Penang Malaysia news bites.

Ken Hunts Food made available the following piece of writing. I always look forward to checking out 1 of their posts as they’re genuinely revealing. I hope you find it helpful.

Well-established and known to serve some of the best steaks in Derby (United Kingdom)… Penangite owner Emily is bringing a taste of Britain back to Malaysia, opening a branch here at Victoria Street, central Georgetown. Housed in Reunion Heritage House, Emily’s Steakhouse is an undisputed carnivore’s paradise, serving a char-grilled meat-focused menu along with some English classics like Fish and Chips and breakfast. Only available in the evenings, Emily’s Steakhouse has a casual setting with relaxed atmosphere, featuring the same interior decor as the main branch in Derby. This is a spot fits for any occasion or just a simple meal over some seriously good meat and Wines.
Many Thanks to Emily’s Steakhouse for hosting us.

All steaks at Emily’s are aged for at least 21 days before serving. As the kitchen needs some time to prepare for the charcoal stove, it is advisable to make your reservation earlier should you wish to come in earlier than 7 pm. The kitchen allows various doneness for their steaks, ranging from the uncommon “Blue” to “Well-Done”, though most would go for “Medium Rare” or “Rare” at max. All servings of steaks would come with their home-made sauce but we would recommend to start with Sea Salt… to taste the meat imbued with distinctive but alluring char-grilled aroma. Also note-worthy are the sides, especially the Chips. Using USA potatoes, the Fries are hand-cut and freshly cooked by the kitchen; a taste and texture unique to Emily’s Steakhouse. Hearty portion with seriously good meat. The unique but delightful burnt-smokiness is second to none in Penang. For sharing, do watch out for their freshly done Onion Rings, Salmon Parcels with English Garden Herb and Grilled Portobello Mushroom with Grilled Stilton Top.
