This is one True Wireless Earbud that surprised me. I didn’t get to try the first version of FreeBuds thus I won’t be able to make the comparison between the two. But I can assure you this new HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 is something else. My first impression of the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 is the colour variant that I received for this review. Known as Silver Blue, this seems to be the featured colour in their key visuals. Other available colours are Silver Frost and Ceramic White.

First Look

The battery case looks like a pebble, more of a rounded rectangular shape rather than oval but the size is just about right in my opinion. The pocketable size is not bulky and it fits in my jeans pocket comfortably. The earbuds however, are shiny. Based on the same Silver Blue as the battery case, the earbuds look glossy. At certain angles and lighting, it looks more blue-ish and at times, it’s purple-ish in colour.

I like the different shades of colour on the earbuds when viewing at certain angles and lighting conditions. It’s just something unique for an earbud. No complaints there. The silicone buds are in the same colour as well and it came with 2 sets of different sized spares in the box. Also, there’s the USB-C charging cable included too.

First thing that I did was pairing it with the HUAWEI nova Y90 that I also have for review. I figured, why not pair it with a HUAWEI device, right? And pairing the two took less than 5 minutes. The simplest method of pairing the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 is to pair it via the Bluetooth settings on the phone. Simply open the battery case without taking out the earbuds and look it up in the Bluetooth settings. Hit “Pair” and you’re done.

The better and recommended method of pairing is to download the HUAWEI AI Life app on your phone first. Once downloaded, open up the app and tap on the “+” icon in the main screen. Look for the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 (should read as Nemo) and pair it up. Once that’s done, you can configure how you want the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 to be set up. From here, you can also adjust the EQ and check out the ANC features. You’re basically done from here onwards.

All you have to do now is to fire up any music app such as Spotify or Tidal to give it a test.

Sound Check and Features

I have my Spotify ready and I start off with Metallica’s Enter Sandman at full blast. Those who have read my TWS reviews recently will know how I like my bass. Just pure hard solid bass will satisfy my eardrums. And when the music begins, the drums in the beginning of the song sounded so good. The strong hard bass is exactly what I’ve been looking for. There is only one other TWS that I reviewed recently that can match up with this HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2. Perhaps, they are both on par for superb bass.

My first test with the earbuds is satisfactory. This is because HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 adopts the industry’s first integrated Ultra-hearing True Sound Dual Driver which adopts two ultra-hearing driver units for bass and treble notes that work separately in perfect cohesion. It is equipped with an 11mm quad-magnet dynamic driver unit and a voice coil planar unit which was only previously used in high-end headphones.

The 11mm quad-magnet dynamic driver unit boosts driving force by 30% compared with that on the previous product, delivering 14Hz of booming bass. In terms of the voice coil design of the diaphragm, HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2’s voice coil planar unit drives the diaphragm to new heights, boosting the driven area by six times when compared with standard driver units, for sky-high transient response and more enriching details.

Speaking of details, the highs and vocals are equally superb. When you turn up the volume to the max, you will usually get the crackling or breaking sound on your earphone or headphone, right? This is usually the case with cheap products and feels like you’re being cheated for some cheap bucks. But none of that is happening with the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2. Your money will be very much well spent on a TWS this good.

HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 also supports LDAC high-resolution codec, with a maximum audio transmission rate of 990kbds/96kHz/24bit. It effectively reduces the delay and deterioration in audio transmission, enabling overall details in music to be well preserved and presented in high-fidelity sound. The HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 supports high-resolution audio transmission, awarded with HWA and Hi-Res Audio Wireless Certification.

It’s no wonder that the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 felt a little different for me. And it’s not only in terms of good looks. The noise cancelling capabilities have also been upgraded from the previous version. This time, HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 comes with new upgraded ANC capabilities. With this new earbud, users get to experience revolutionary active noise cancellation experience and also a more intimate intelligent noise cancellation experience with the Intelligent Dynamic ANC 2.0.

I have tested the ANC’s capabilities and it does isolate the ambient noise really well. So well that I thought I’d gone deaf when there’s no music being played. However, I will usually have the earbud on Awareness mode so that I can still at least hear something. But there are 4 different modes for the ANC and when it’s on. You can have it on Dynamic that can automatically adjust the ANC based on your surroundings.

There’s also Cosy – for places with little noise, General – for somewhat noisy places and Ultra – for extremely noisy places. HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 even offers a unique Voice Mode, which can properly reduce the ambient sound so I can hear other people’s voices clearly.

Through the Intelligent dynamic ANC 2.0 system, the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 is able to perform real-time ear canal characteristics detection based on downstream music and voice signals to automatically match the appropriate noise cancellation curve. This allows me to experience personalised noise cancellation based on my ear canals.

If you have more than one device, you can actually connect the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 up to two devices at the same time and can automatically switch between the two devices, making it easy and convenient. With HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2, you can stay connected with two of the devices to maintain efficiency. When you’re working, learning, or exercising, you can freely switch between the two devices.

Like me, I have the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 connected to the HUAWEI nova Y90 and my laptop at the same time. I listen to music from the laptop and in case there’s any call coming in on the phone, I can straight away answer it with the earbuds. So convenient.

And when I’m at work, I always prefer to listen to music. So 90% of the time I will have an earbud stuck in my ear. In this case, I have the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 as my go-to audio companion. Being in the office all day requires great battery endurance. The HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 comes with a 55mAh battery in each earbud and 580mAh for the battery case. The HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 has a battery life of up to 30 hours of listening time. It supports both wired and wireless fast charging technologies.

Also good to note that the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 is IP54 splash and sprinkle resistance so if you’re out on a workout or a job, no sweat can stop it from working. You can even go out for a job in the light rain. Just don’t be silly taking it out during a thunderstorm.

Conclusion

The HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 is a huge surprise for me. The kind of audio quality that it produced are meant for audio engineers or musicians. I’m not exaggerating here, it’s just my own personal opinion. If you’re an audio engineer, go ahead and give it a go. For a wireless earbud, the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 performed way above my expectations.

Of course, nothing can beat the wired headphone from the true audio makers out there. But for a TWS such as the HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2, it sets the bar up really high. It’s only a matter of time for another TWS maker to come up with something better. And things can only get better from hereon. But before that can happen, they will have a lot to catch up to HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 right here. It is now my
numero uno
 choice for a True Wireless Stereo.

You can get the new HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 2 from
HUAWEI’s office site
 right now and it is retailing for

UCIe
) consortium, which aims to create an open ecosystem for enabling chiplets designed and manufactured on different process technologies by different vendors to work together when integrated with advanced packaging technologies. With the three largest chipmakers and more than 80 of the leading companies in the semiconductor industry joining UCIe, “we are now making it a reality,” Gelsinger said.

To lead this platform transformation enabling new customer and partner solutions with chiplets, Gelsinger explained that “Intel and Intel Foundry Services will usher in the era of the systems foundry,” with four major components: wafer manufacturing, packaging, software and an open chiplet ecosystem. “Innovation once thought impossible has opened entirely new possibilities for chipmaking,” Gelsinger said.

Introduces 13th Gen Intel Core processors, expanded Intel Developer Cloud, Intel Geti computer vision platform and more choice in graphics to kick off two-day Intel Innovation event.

Intel previewed another such innovation in development: a breakthrough pluggable co-package photonics solution. Optical connections hold promise to enable new levels of chip-to-chip bandwidth, particularly in the data center, but manufacturing difficulties make them untenably expensive. To overcome this, Intel researchers devised a robust, high-yielding, glass-based solution with a pluggable connector that simplifies manufacturing and lowers costs, opening possibilities for new system and chip package architectures in the future.

Building the future requires software, tools and products, and it also requires funding. Early this year, Intel launched
the $1 billion IFS Innovation Fund
 to support early-stage startups and established companies building disruptive technologies for the foundry ecosystem. Today, the company announced the first round of companies that have received funding, a diverse group innovating across the entire semiconductor stack. The first round includes:

Astera
, a leader in purpose-built data and memory connectivity solutions to remove performance bottlenecks throughout the data center.
Movellus
, which helps improve system-on-chip performance and power consumption, and simplifies timing closure with a unique platform that solves clock distribution challenges.

Lazada and YesWeHack Jointly Hosted a Live Bug Bounty Event at HITBSecCONF2022 Singapore

Southeast Asia’s leading eCommerce platform Lazada has concluded its latest live bug bounty with YesWeHack, a leading global Bug Bounty and Vulnerability Disclosure Policy (VDP) Platform. The two-day live bug bounty program, which was held at the
Hack In The Box Security Conference
 (HITBSecCONF 2022), resulted in 115 vulnerability reports being submitted by the several dozen researchers present at the event, including some of the best security researchers in the world.

After running a successful
two-year Bug Bounty program
 with YesWeHack, Lazada scaled the program to the next level this year during the HITBSecCONF 2022. The event allowed Lazada to test their applications over the given period of time, while being able to meet with researchers to exchange on the discoveries—thus giving Lazada deep and exclusive insights to the vulnerabilities found.

Lazada wanted to use this live event as an opportunity to achieve in-depth security. To enable this, the company voluntarily disabled a number of security mechanisms for participating researchers and only for the period of the event, allowing them to extensively test the systems and applications. For instance, researchers were able to bypass Web Application Firewalls (WAF) throughout the length of the event—allowing them to hack into the eCommerce platform’s sites and services directly.

Lazada had chosen to disable WAFs for the hunters, due to the fact that while they are able to block most of the attack, they are not infallible. In addition to WAFs, Lazada also disabled other security solutions that are typically used as a first line of defense, so as to offer hackers the chance to test their application in greater depth.

Since launching their first private bug bounty program in 2020, the initiative has expanded into a two-day live hacking event focused on protecting Lazada’s consumer data

“Accomplishing a live program on this scale demonstrates Lazada’s commitment to security and progressive stance towards bug bounties. By engaging with the broader community, the eCommerce giant is placing an unprecedented level of trust in ethical hackers to better strengthen their security, transparency, as well as data privacy and protection. We are delighted to be able to contribute to yet another successful collaboration with Lazada,” said
Kevin Gallerin, CEO APAC, YesWeHack.

“Securing customer’s data and protecting it from any future incidences is of highest importance at Lazada. Having some of the best security researchers in the world in the same room as us is an exceptional opportunity to learn and exchange—especially for our red team, who mounts deliberate attacks on our systems daily to identify and fix vulnerabilities,” said
Bruno Demarche
, who leads the Red Team & Security Testing Team at Lazada Group
.

“The live bug bounty program was a rewarding experience for Lazada and YesWeHack alike. The teams have been able to uncover quality results, which has already given us ideas on how we can improve our internal testing processes for our application and services to ultimately better safeguard Lazada’s customers and partners,” said
Yuezhong Bao
, Head of Cybersecurity, Lazada Group
.

Lazada’s partnership with YesWeHack began in January 2020 with a successful 18-month private bug bounty program. The partners then continued to expand the scopes of their collaboration, and Lazada opened its program to the public in 2021, with rewards of up to US$10,000 per bounty. Since then, the company has been working with over 45,000 ethical hackers to detect flaws within their application and systems to achieve maximum security and protection over their platforms.

The collaboration with Lazada has also allowed YesWeHack to further advance its community of cybersecurity experts and position the company as the leading player of bug bounties in Asia Pacific. Since 2019, YesWeHack has served more than 60 clients from its Asia Pacific headquarters in Singapore, including large BFSIs, tech unicorns and government bodies.

With a growing market demand being seen for the crowdsourced security model, 40 percent of YesWeHack’s security researchers are based out of Asia, with 30 percent of its clientele coming from Australia, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.


Celebrate League of Legends: Wild Rift Anniversary in Patch 3.4: Power Spike

Today Riot Games showed a preview of all the upcoming content for League of Legends: Wild Rift Patch 3.4: Power Spike.

Champions

Gwen, the Hallowed Seamstress, is traveling to the top lane and longs to enjoy life. Even if she does run with scissors…
Yone, the Unforgotten, slices his way back from the spirit realm as a melee mid and top laner.
Vex, the Gloomist, rolls into the mid-lane harder than a teenager rolls her eyes. With the power of angst and her companion Shadow, Vex is a combo-loaded Yordle of doom, gloom, and sarcasm.
Warwick, the Uncaged Wrath of Zaun, is a fearsome melee jungler who excels at chasing down low-health enemies from all over the map.

Items & Enchants

We’re upgrading the AP item system which will include changes to items like Liandry’s Torment, and additions like Cosmic Drive. Additionally, we’re introducing two new Support starting items, Spectral Sickle and Relic Shield, each with a unique focus on offensive and defensive capabilities.

Both items grant up to 3 charges that you can use to apply lane pressure and earn extra gold—as long as you have an ally nearby! To complement the items, we’re also adding and upgrading some Support Enchants.

Riftmaker: Grants you omnivamp and when in combat with champions you’ll gain a stack. Each stack increases the damage you deal. At max stacks the additional damage becomes true damage

Serpent’s Fang: An item we are bringing directly from PC League of Legends as an anti-shielding AD assassin output. This works identically to its PC counterpart, being more effective for melee users and both reducing current shields and future shields for a short duration after the Serpent’s Fang user hits an enemy champion.
Imperial Mandate: Very similar to its PC version, offering a payout in bonus damage and marking enemies for slowing or immobilizing enemy champions. Allies can then consume the marks for additional damage and movement speed.
Cosmic Drive: Active abilities and empowered attacks grant Ability Haste as Movement Speed after dealing damage to an enemy champion. This movement speed will decay over time. Cosmic Drive’s other passive Hyperdrive will also provide movement speed
Relic Shield: Earn gold from this item to transform it into Targon’s Buckler. While near an allied champion, abilities and attacks consume a charge to execute minions below a percentage of their max health. Killing a minion grants you and your ally a percentage of the kill gold and heals you. These effects recharge.
Spectral Sickle: Gain Attack Damage or Ability Power (Adaptive). While near an allied champion, damaging abilities and attacks against champions or structures grant gold. These effects recharge every second. Earn gold from this item to transform it into Harrowing Crescent
Meteor Enchant: Lights up an area and summons a meteor after, dealing a percentage of each enemy’s max health as magic damage.
Protect Enchant: The power of the next heal or shield ability you use is increased. It does not affect heals or shields from items or runes

Duel Mode

We’re experimenting with a new, never-before seen in Wild Rift 1v1 game mode! Queue up to duke it out on Howling Abyss against a single PvP opponent.

Ranked

Whatever your rank, we hope this Season is treating you well and that you’re excited for the Season 7 climb ahead!

We’ve been keeping a close eye on Legendary Queue and have a few updates to look forward to. High ranking, competitive players want to be confident that their teammates are playing their best champs, so we’re adding a new gate for Legendary queue based on your champion Mastery score.

It will limit you to picking only champs for which you have a high enough Mastery. If you want to play a new champ, you’ll need to get some experience in another queue first.

Finally! It’s a little ways away, but another ranked season means another glorious champion to unlock! The icon of self-love—or is it obsession?—Glorious Crimson Draven arrives to take over Ranked Season 7. Play ranked games to unlock him from the Season Rewards tab starting in October.

Wild Pass

The Wild Pass progress and reward claiming has changed.

The “Bonus Rewards” section is now the “Wild Pass Emporium.” Pass progress is changing from a linear track for Levels 51 through 75, into an Exchange where you can claim rewards in any order you like.

Claiming enough Emporium rewards grants you the upgraded Wild Pass Skin Augment.

Additionally, there are two new ways to earn experience. All players will have a set of simple, repeatable missions for playing matches that give a constant stream of Wild Pass Experience. These missions have a cap and reset each week, giving players steady momentum simply for coming in and playing games.

For Elite Pass purchasers, new Seasonal Missions are being added to help them attain all the rewards they want in the Wild Pass Emporium.

Finally, Elite Pass purchasers who buy the Pass will receive a new Random Skin chest at level 1, but instead of getting any random skin, you can narrow down the choices to just one lane role—Solo lane, mid, jungle, duo lane, or support!

And now… the moment you’ve been waiting for… Defy the schemes of Supervillains like it’s your day-job ’cause it is — in this Season’s Wild Pass! Superhero Jayce is ready to leap over tall buildings and into team fights. Unlock him when you reach level 50 in your Wild Pass. Earn his Ascended Superhero skin by playing matches and claiming it from the Wild Pass Emporium!

Events

We have loads of events planned for this patch, starting with Yone’s Arrival. We’ll welcome this spirited swordsman to the Rift with new missions and rewards.

After that, we have an action-packed October, starting off with a high-stakes battle between master fighters. For honor—and victory—choose a side and take part in an epic martial arts tournament during our Supreme Cells Event. This idle game will let you train your fighter so he can participate in the tournament and help you earn rewards, even if you can’t queue up for games everyday.

Just like the fighters in the tournament, we’ve also been training up and studying the ways of the Rift these past couple of years. And using everything we’ve learned, we’ll be celebrating all of you and giving out free goodies during our Power Spike Party! We’ve loved hearing your feedback, seeing your crazy smite steals, 1v5 clutches, backdoor Mundos, and your dedication and passion for Wild Rift over these past two years. Thank you for playing and sticking with us during this wild journey.

Then finally, make way for the Vex Parade—I mean—Bewitching Vex Bingo event. Laugh and play a little B-I-N-G-O to welcome our number one brooding yordle to Wild Rift with her favorite thing of all: a smile.

Malaysia Launches DE Rantau to Accelerate Growth of the Digital Economy

The Minister of Communications and Multimedia, YB Tan Sri Datuk Seri Panglima TPr Annuar Haji Musa today launched DE Rantau, a programme aimed at establishing Malaysia as the preferred digital nomad hub to boost digital adoption and promote digital professional mobility and tourism across Malaysia.

The programme is intended to benefit both local talents and foreign nomads. Apart from the introduction of the DE Rantau Nomad Pass, which will support the facilitation of foreign digital nomads’ stay in Malaysia for a period of 12 months, the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia Malaysia (K-KOMM) through Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) will create a vibrant ecosystem that can support the digital nomad lifestyle to be able to regain the balance in working and living.

YB Tan Sri Annuar said, “Aligned with Malaysia Digital (MD), the DE Rantau programme will help solidify Malaysia’s path to becoming the preferred digital nomad hub of the ASEAN region. Despite facing close competition with our neighbours, Malaysia has all the right ingredients to be the most attractive choice for digital nomads. We have a robust infrastructure, affordable cost of living, cultural diversity, a multilingual population, delicious cuisines, and many more offerings to strengthen our position.”

“While the digital nomad lifestyle is nothing new, it is the pandemic that accelerated the trend of more people choosing to embrace a location-independent, tech-enabled lifestyle, allowing them to work and live wherever their hearts desire.”

Driving this initiative, MDEC will oversee the development of digital nomad hubs and comprehensive local ecosystems suitable for the digital nomad lifestyle. This will be done in collaboration with various industry players as well as the onboarding of digital nomads via outreach and awareness programmes and visa facilitation of DE Rantau Nomad Pass.

“Through DE Rantau Hubs and a thriving ecosystem, there can be knowledge and experience sharing among local and foreign nomads, leading to the creation of a vibrant and knowledgeable local community and businesses,” he added.

The programme is expected to inject a total of RM4.8 billion into the local economy by the year 2025. Additionally, in its first phase, the identified digital nomad hubs will include Penang, Langkawi, Kedah and Kuala Lumpur.

Under the Malaysia Digital (MD) initiative, DE Rantau is one of first two Malaysia Digital Catalytic Programmes (PEMANGKIN) planned for 2022. It is designed to create substantial economic spill-over through equitable access to digital tools, knowledge, and income opportunities.

Applications for DE Rantau Nomad Pass will be open on 1 October 2022. For registration, please visit

Malaysia’s ePaySlip Data Hacked, What We Need To Do To Prevent This

As reported in the
news
 recently, a group of hackers, code named “grey hat”, broke into the civil servants’ ePaySlip system and extracted nearly two million payslips and tax forms in PDF format amounting to 188.75 gigabytes.

Commenting on the increasing frequency of these attacks,
Vicky Ray, Principal, Unit 42 Threat Intelligence, JAPAC, Palo Alto Networks
 said, “Data leakage has become a recurring issue, both globally and in Malaysia, caused by phishing, malware and ransomware attacks, or even unintentional sharing of sensitive data by users. Regardless of the cause, organisations need to step up their game to implement a data loss prevention system to plug vulnerabilities in their infrastructure.”

Palo Alto Networks
2022 Unit 42 Ransomware Threat Report
 report revealed that in 2021, cybercriminals increasingly turned to Dark Web “leak sites” to post the leaked data, in addition to demanding ransom from their victims. The research also found that last year, 2,566 organisations’ data were leaked on the dark web globally, an 85% increase since the previous year. The leak sites posted these organisations’ names and proof of compromise, similar to what happened in Malaysia.

Palo Alto Networks recommends the following measures companies can implement to minimise the possibilities data breaches:

Conduct phishing prevention and recurring employee security training.
Centralise security management efforts such as threat detection and security alerts
Control user activities with least privilege given – ie: limited access to specific applications and data at given timeframe.
Implement multi factor authentication besides email, for the verification of third party applications
Implement a Zero Trust approach “Never trust, always verify” – to eliminate implicit trust and validate users’ activities continuously at every stage of digital interaction.

“Organisations must develop an effective security strategy to uphold integrity of their data while it is at rest, in use, and in motion. By upgrading defences consistently to keep up with the evolving threats, IT teams can stay ahead of the attack curve and minimise the risks associated with such attacks.” said Vicky.
