The review of the new ASUS Vivobook S14 M433 ( https://pokde.net/review/asus-vivobook-s14-m433-review ) covers that the display of the laptop covers 100% of sRGB, claimed by ASUS for the Malaysian retail units. Is this really true? Almost all mid-range laptop don't have such a wide color range (since they need to cut cost) and most only have around 50-60%. Can someone confirm this claim?

5 million Malaysian students are now in danger.

I had created a Reddit thread about how 1BestariNet store students' , parents' and teachers' password in plain text and the danger of it. If we did not take any action, about 5+ million students' personal information well be leaked, see below:

I hope the Lowyat community can help in this situation and spread awareness, thanks.

Education is getting harder

NgYShung — Sat, 14 Jan 2017 01:25:28 +0800

As KSSR, KBSM, PBS, i-Think etc etc was introduced, education is getting harder and harder. As the new system catch up to Form 1 and all the textbooks are changed, I was shocked by the system and the textbooks' chapters of it. Let me give you some examples: (Science Form 1 2017)

1. In Science Form 3 - Reproduction, it is now in Form 1 Chapter 4.
2. In Math Form 3 - Simultaneous linear equations (quite hard for P6 students), it is in Primary 6.
3. In Chemistry (or Science) Form 4/5 - Periodic table (electron, proton, neutron), it is already in Chapter 6 at Form 1.
4. In Biology Form 5 Chapter 3 - Homeostasis, it is already in Chapter 3 at Form 1. (what??)
5. There is a chapter called "Earth" (Structure of Earth??), which I had never heard about it in Form 2 til 5 . (Will there be Geoscience in the future?)
6. And a lot more to discover...

I felt sympathetic about this. I heard some teachers having reports by students' parents who complained that the system was too hard for them. All of which let me think that if this system reached Form 3, will it become rocket science? Is this good for them since it is too hasty to learn all of them (especially in Math which got a really complex things to do)? There are a lot of good and bad factors. I hope you all can give some opinion, thanks.

P/S: I heard there is something called "Reka Bentuk dan Teknologi", what is it? Does it include computer science or programming?

I have a Yes Dongle and I'm able to connect through my and my friends' 1BestariNet and I got Internet from it.
So how many free data can I get from the datapack? (200MB/300MB?)
Does it reload weekly or monthly?
Thanks for advance.
