MCMC caught rebrand bought twitter account

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 12 — The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission’s (MCMC) Twitter account @SKMM_MCMC went dark tonight after local Twitter users unearthed old tweets with crass and puerile content from the account dating back to 2014.

Internet users then mocked and trolled the account by requoting those tweets — some of them homophobic, racist or just plain lovelorn — to the internet regulator which had earlier today warned users against publishing offensive posts after a state of Emergency was declared here.

Nazrul Hakim, a 22-year-old man residing in Pahang, told Malay Mail that he was the original owner of the account @Nazrulllhakim, which he had then sold to another person — who presumably then sold the account to the administrator of the MCMC account.

BitTorrent Speed is only the first step

Doraku — Sat, 13 Jul 2019 19:17:35 +0800

QUOTE

After almost a year of waiting, the Tron Foundation and BitTorrent have released a first version of the blockchain-powered P2P file sharing protocol. BitTorrent Speed is basically the same as the regular protocol, but people who share files can earn BTT. Earned BTT can be spend on increased bandwidth for example, but it’s not the promised land everybody has been waiting for.

Being a big fan of use cases for crypto projects, I applaud the BitTorrent Foundation and the Tron Foundation for the first collaborative release. The software works, but because the BitTorrent P2P software favors those with high bandwidth… there’s not much chance for people with crappy uploads (like me) to earn BTT. But let’s not elaborate too much, and first see how things work.
How does BitTorrent Speed work?

Users can turn off the speed increase, if they don’t want to spend their earned BTT on download speed. The amount of BTT a seeder, that’s someone who shares his files, can earn, depends on a number of factors. Think about available bandwidth and demand for the files that are being shared.

Currently BitTorrent Speed is a pop-up overlay in the Utorrent bittorrent program. This is a bit confusing and it would be great if the who were to be integrated into one interface. But okay, it’s still early in its lifespan.

When you switch on the Speed Increase option, the system starts to download from high profile users who offers lots of bandwidth. The program will show that the user is downloading faster from a certain amount of BTT users. It will also show the speed increase in percentages, in my case adding somewhere between 40~300 percent download speed over a period of time. Yes, the download speed fluctuates a lot.

When you turn on the Speed Increase, your BTT balance will slowly decrease based on the downloads. I have a very crappy upload connection, which means I’m unlikely to add BTT to my balance. In terms of spending, it’s a bit hard to estimate. But I guess it’s about 0.025 BTT for 1MB/sec for approximately five minutes. If the download speed goes up or down (and it will!) and time increases, it because more difficult to set expectations on costs or earnings.

First step towards an entertainment platform

BitTorrent shouldn’t slow it’s network speed down for regular users, and it should definitely use BTT to increase its speed. Let’s assume that’s where we are now, and it’s great. However, the lack of speed guarantee is something that stings. When consumers pay for something, they want reliability. Communication on the speed increase and the implications for consumers needs to be as clear as possible.

On top of that, you can only earn BTT if you offer lots of bandwidth. Which is fine, and it makes sense. However, when you already have lots of bandwidth there’s no real reason to spend BTT on increasing your download speed. Supposedly such an internet user is already on top of the digital food chain.

With the BitTorrent Speed program currently is missing, is a proper way to spend BTT. The Tron Foundation and TRX were started as a blockchain for online entertainment. The next step for them would be to launch a blockchain version of Netflix or Hulu, based on BitTorrent Speed. Power users can host the database and earn BTT, while consuming users spend BTT on renting movies and binge watching television series.

Suddenly BTT would get a real use case, and it would be one that would fit very well within the original philosophy of Tron.

Currently BTT is valued $0.001161. Download Bittorrent speed here.

MSI Betrays AMD's Socket AM4 Longevity Promise:

Doraku — Tue, 16 Apr 2019 14:39:42 +0800

QUOTE

Greedy motherboard vendors such as MSI want you to buy a new motherboard every two generations of processor for no sound reason at all. MSI is reportedly blocking support for 3rd generation Ryzen "Matisse" processors on its AMD 300-series chipset motherboards, including those based on high-end AMD X370 and OC-capable B350 chipsets. This would also put those who own $300 motherboards such as the X370 XPower out of luck. To recap, AMD announced on numerous occasions that it doesn't want to be a greedy clique like its competitor, by forcing motherboard upgrades and promised that socket AM4 motherboards will be backwards and forwards compatible with at least four generations of Ryzen processors, running all the way up to 2020.

This normally should mean that any 300-series motherboard must support 4th generation Ryzen processors with a simple BIOS update. Most 300-series motherboards, including from MSI, even ship with USB BIOS Flashback feature to help with forwards compatibility. Unfortunately, motherboard companies such as MSI care more about their bottom-lines than the consumer. In a support e-mail to an X370 XPower Titanium owner, MSI confirmed that it will not extend Zen 2 support to AMD 300-series. Other motherboard vendors could follow MSI's suit as a representative of another motherboard vendor, on condition of anonymity, told TechPowerUp that "Zen 2" processors have steeper electrical requirements that 300-series motherboards don't meet. This is an excuse similar to the one Intel gave for the planned obsolescence of its 100-series and 200-series chipsets, even as it was repeatedly proven that those motherboards can run and overclock 9th generation processors with custom firmware just fine. Would MSI care to explain whether a B450M PRO-M2 has a stronger VRM than an X370 XPower Titanium to warrant "Zen 2" support? Will all "Zen 2" processor SKUs have steep electrical requirements? Will there not be any SKUs with double-digit-Watt TDP ratings?

Now Windows 10 Has C, B, and D Updates?

Doraku — Thu, 13 Dec 2018 17:46:55 +0800

We also release optional updates in the third and fourth weeks of the month, respectively known as “C” and “D” releases. These are preview releases, primarily for commercial customers and advanced users “seeking” updates. These updates have only non-security fixes. The intent of these releases is to provide visibility into, and enable testing of, the non-security fixes that will be included in the next Update Tuesday release. Advanced users can access the “C” and “D” releases by navigating to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and clicking the “Check for updates” box. The “D” release has proven popular for those “seeking” to validate the non-security content of the next “B” release.

Goodbye Chepo Smart Tag, Hello E-Tag/MaxTag

Doraku — Wed, 31 Oct 2018 06:44:18 +0800

TLDR Summary for Lazy Ktards:
1 : Made by the same company that made those Cheapo Smart Tag display broke in less than a month.
2 : New better and faster processor, faster and better detection toll, They even claimed it can detect toll with speed max speed of around 100km/h - 120km/h (*With condtions there is no Pole*) our RFID Tag right now having a hard time to detect on 20km/h
3 : Improved/Much more durable *PCB design* Display connector(They probably change those fragile to pin style connector)
4 : Price abit expensive(RM143) compared to old one(RM120) they say because MaxTag have better processor and Higher quality than Cheapo Smart Tag.
5 : You can buy this MaxTag on Lazada/Shopee and on some shell petrol station.
4 : You can extend warranty by 2 year a cost of RM15 that.
Lets just hope this is not just a false claim

Kini Anda Boleh Memautkan Kad TnG

Doraku — Fri, 24 Aug 2018 14:25:59 +0800

QUOTE

Touch ‘n Go hari ini mempekrenalkan sokongan memautkan kad fizikal TnG secara terus kepada aplikasi dompet digital mereka, sekaligus memudahkan para pengguna untuk menyemak baki pada kad fizikal dengan mudah.

Buat masa ini, pengguna hanya sekadar boleh memautkan kad berkenaan sahaja. Ia masih tidak menyokong pemindahan baki daripada dompet digital ke kad fizikal – selain mana baki yang diperlihatkan hanya dikemaskini lewat sehari dan bukannya dalam paparan masa-nyata

Apa pun, ciri baru ini semestinya disukai ramai pengguna, sekaligus memudahkan pengguna untuk menyemak baki dalam kad fizikal Touch ‘n Go terus pada telefon pintar. Buat masa ini, pengguna hanya boleh menambah maksima sehingga tiga kad TnG sahaja pada sesuatu masa (termasuk MyKad).

Bersama-sama pengenalan ciri baru ini, aplikasi Touch ‘n Go turut membawakan rekaan antaramuka yang serba baru untuk pengguna Android dan juga iPhone.

Bagi anda yang menggunakan khidmat Touch ‘n Go, boleh memuat-turun aplikasi ini ke peranti anda hari ini.
