Though the statement provided as part of the announcement is pretty vague. The company says that the expansion “will immerse guests into the world of Pokemon with innovative technology and creativity beginning in 2022”. But what exactly will the theme park have was not mentioned. There’s also no mention of when construction of the Pokemon expansion in USJ started. So it’s equally up in the air if what visitors see in 2022 is the full scale of the expansion, or if there will be more coming....

Just earlier today, Samsung revealed that the new devices which are going to be launched on 9 February are the first batch of Galaxy products that contained repurposed plastics.

Specifically, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is banning the recalled MacBook Pros from being taken onboard airplanes. An FAA spokesperson said that this is not something that’s out of the ordinary, and that any device with a recalled lithium-ion battery is not allowed on airplanes. The FAA also issued a statement to The Verge, which reads: Of course, it remains to be seen if this is actually enforceable. After all, not all 15-inch MacBook Pros of 2015 are actually affected....

The document in question details the expansion of what’s called the Clean Network initiative, adding five new lines of effort. One of them is called Clean Apps, which reads ” To prevent untrusted PRC smartphone manufacturers from pre-installing – or otherwise making available for download – trusted apps on their apps store”. On one hand, the statement only overtly names Huawei as being affiliated to China. But on the other, other parts of the statement makes broad strokes references to almost anything made in the country....

With the new bill, companies wishing to be listed on the US stock exchange will have to provide proof that it is free from control and not under the influence of a foreign government. Should the company be unable to prove itself, the alternative will be to allow a US Oversight board to audit the company’s accounts for the past three consecutive years. If this ends up in failure as well, the company will then be banned from the exchange....

As usual, the new USB 4 Version 2.0 standard will also be backwards compatible with older USB 4 cables.

The smartphone, known as the Vivo IFEA, introduces a new approach to smartphone photography and video capture with the aforementioned technology. The pop-up module is capsule-sized and consists of two unspecified cameras in the render, but featuring a single lens when showcased in their proof-of-concept (POC) video. Being able to function remotely while detached, it’s expected that the module includes its own battery that is chargeable when attached to IFEA....

In a tweet responding to another player, the official Watch Dogs Twitter account said that the dev team is working on adding this feature to Legion. Though it will be added in a future update, no exact date was given. — Watch Dogs: Legion (@watchdogsgame) March 14, 2021 Naturally, enabling cross-play isn’t exactly on top of Ubisoft’s priority list. As it should be, since Watch Dogs Legion still needs its multiplayer component to work properly....

To quickly recap, Companion Mode would finally allow you to link your primary device to a secondary smartphone or a tablet seamlessly – both of which are not supported by WhatsApp’s Linked Devices feature. This way, you can use your account on them without needing to wipe it from the main device. It is unclear how many devices are supported by the newer feature, given that Linked Devices enables for up to four devices to be linked to a single WhatsApp account....

However, while it’s great that users get to erase text that may contain a mistake (or one that they might regret sending), you only have a limited amount of time to use “Delete For Everyone” before the limit expires. The limit was initially set to 7 minutes before it was extended to the current time limit of 4096 seconds, or 68 minutes and 16 seconds. The new feature, spotted by WABetaInfo, is still under development and is not yet available to the public....

Released in 1997, it was a freeware media player that had one of the widest selections of community-made skins. That said, the last time it got an official update was in 2013. That’s in the final year of Winamp in AOL’s possession. Now owned by Radionomy, its new owners want Winamp to be “a more complete listening experience,” according to Radionomy CEO Alexandre Saboundjian. He went on to say “You can listen to your MP3s you have at home, but also to the cloud, to podcasts, to streaming radio stations, to a playlist you perhaps have built”....

Specifically, Microsoft says the new update may be an issue when you try connecting a Bluetooth speaker to a system that has an internal speaker. The specific update in question is update 4505903 on Windows 10 version 1903. Once you’ve installed the update, there’s a chance that your Bluetooth speaker will not connect at all. And If it does, it may produce worse quality sounds than usual, or they will simply be produced by your system’s internal speaker instead....

The preview build of Defender for Mac starts off focusing on signature-based malware detection. But over time, it’s expected to be able to detect and report the existence of malware based on what they’re doing to your system, much like the way it does on Windows.

The company has not announced where the Microsoft Defender will go next....

First in the list is the titular device itself, the Mi CC9. Equipped with a 6.39-inch Full HD+ Samsung AMOLED display, the new phone runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 alongside up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB internal storage.

One of them is the Mi Smart Sensor Set which consisted of two Mi Motion Sensors, two Mi Windows and Door sensors, a Mi Wireless Switch, and a Zigbee-based Mi Control Hub.

Aside from that, Xiaomi has officially brought the Mi Home Security Camera 360° 1080P into Malaysia as well....

To test this, Poole disguised the Geekbench app by renaming it Fortnite. The results were surprising, to say the least when it received 30% lower single-core scores and almost 15% lower multi-core scores, which are way beyond any margin of error. To further prove the discrepancy, the developer renamed the build again to Genshin Impact, which achieved similar lowered scores. This would suggest that Xiaomi is throttling certain power-hungry apps for some reason, though the fact that benchmark apps are exempted isn’t a good look for the company’s practice, as it would mean that the scores don’t reflect real-life performance....

For those unaware, Xiaomi released the Pocophone F1 with top-of-the-line hardware at an affordable price. It runs on Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC, a choice between 6GB and 8GB RAM, and up to 256GB of storage.

According to the Geekbench listing, the F1 Lite is tested running on Android 9 Pie and sdm660, which is the reference code for the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset....
