GIGABYTE W480 VISION serves up premium workstation features like ECC and Thunderbolt 3

GIGABYTE has just announced the workstation-oriented W480 VISION series motherboard. The new motherboard is designed for the new Intel Xeon W and 10th Gen Intel Core processors, with a plethora of workstation features like ECC memory support, Thunderbolt 3 and fast WiFi 6 connectivity.
Aside from that, the W480 VISION D supports multi-GPU configurations with an optimized PCIe slot spacing. This allows creators to easily setup multiple GPUs without compromising the cooling of the GPUs.
GIGABYTE designed the board with PCIe 4.0 grade PCB, PCIe slots, M.2 slots and controller to ensure that you would be getting maximum stability. Do note that current 10th Gen Intel Core processors do not support PCIe 4.0, so this board is designed to be overkill.

Speaking of the M.2 slots, the M.2 PCIe drives will be well cooled by a massive heatspreader that extends all over the PCIe area. There’s support for SATA DOM drives too. Meanwhile for networking, GIGABYTE built the W480 VISION series motherboards with support for 2.5 GbE and 1 GbE networks, with both LAN ports powered by Intel NICs.
Last but not least, GIGABYTE equipped the boards with the ALC 1220-VB CODEC and WIMA FKP2 studio-grade audio capacitors for studio-grade, high quality audio, allowing content creators to create or enjoy high quality, studio-grade sound.
The GIGABYTE VISION series is to slot in alongside the GIGABYTE AORUS boards, as more creator-centric offerings versus the gaming-oriented AORUS motherboards.
Pokdepinion: Well the board seem pretty interesting but for some reason the GIGABYTE W480 VISION D isn’t listed on the official website yet.

Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition Release Date Confirmed – New Trailer is Here

We finally have confirmation on the release date for Bandai Namco’s upcoming remastered JRPG, Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition.
Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition Release Date Confirmed

The folks over at Bandai Namco has officially announced the release date for the upcoming Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition, the remastered version of the Tales game which first came out on the Xbox 360.
The new trailer focuses mostly on the story, showing both anime and in-game cutscenes, but we also see bits of gameplay. We get to see the renewed graphics, which looks pretty good for a remaster of a game that is ten years old.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

The Definitive Edition will come with upscaled resolution and plenty of costumes and events never released in the west. It will include two additional characters on top of the cast included in the Xbox 360 version, Flynn Scifo, best friend and rival of the hero, and young amnesiac pirate Patty Fleur.
The game uses a special version of the Linear Motion Battle System (LMBS). Players control a single member of the party in real-time combat, while the other three characters are controlled by the AI via a set of custom parameters. It’s possible to switch characters in combat at any given time.
Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition will be releasing worldwide on 11th January 2019 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC.
Pokdepinion: This is probably the most excitement I have ever felt for a remastered game aside from Spyro the Dragon. Can’t wait for the new year to roll around.

NVIDIA and AMD GPU prices are going back up, along with worsening availability

After several months of continued decline in terms of pricing, prices for the latest graphics cards are going back up. Earlier last month, we saw AMD graphics cards’ prices rise, while NVIDIA graphics cards got closer to MSRP. The latest report sees prices for both brands increasing, with NVIDIA increasing by a larger margin to close the gap with AMD.

The 29th August report by 3DCenter reveals that prices have gone up to 159% MSRP for NVIDIA, and 164% MSRP for AMD. This is up from 8th August’s 150% MSRP and 159% MSRP, respectively. The data also excludes the latest GeForce RTX 3070 Ti and GeForce RTX 3080 Ti, that has skewed the data somewhat with their higher MSRPs, which are probably easier to meet.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

In any case, 3DCenter also reports that availability has worsened from their last check, with the Radeon RX 6800 being virtually non-existent in stores. Meanwhile, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070, RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 are also slightly harder to find in stores. This may have also resulted in the increased average prices, which is always bad news for those who are looking for a new graphics card.

With TSMC jacking up their prices and Jensen Huang expecting the shortage to continue into 2022, you probably won’t be seeing GPU prices going down by much. At least we aren’t at 300% MSRP like we were back in May though, so I guess that’s a silver lining to all this.

Pokdepinion: Isn’t it ironic that while we have more time to game thanks to WFH practices, we can’t get GPUs to game on?

BlackBerry KEY2 launched in Malaysia priced at RM2599 — when touch keyboards don’t satisfy your fingers no more

Haptic feedback can only go so far to provide an appropriation of the feedback you are supposed to get when typing. If you want it real, you need a physical keyboard. The only brand still doing actual keyboards is BlackBerry, and their latest device to arrive in our market is the BlackBerry KEY2.
The BlackBerry KEY2 touts rather unremarkable specifications, with a Snapdragon 660 chipset, 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. BlackBerry’s focus isn’t on the hardware inside though, but more on the user experience. Hence, the physical keyboard that works for more than just typing, a solid chassis crafted out of 7000 series aluminium. And of course, the renowned BlackBerry productivity and security features.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

Among these features is the new Speed Key, a new hardware key to use your keyboard to access up to 52 programmable shortcuts. The sheer convenience of it will allow you to jump between apps like a professional without even firing up Android’s app switcher. The DTEK by BlackBerry app is back to improve your BlackBerry KEY2’s security, with a new Proactive Health check feature, enabling you to check your device for potential vulnerabilities and security optimizations.

The camera on the BlackBerry KEY2 has been improved over the previous generation, being the first BlackBerry to sport a dual camera system. Two 12MP cameras — one wide-angle + one Optical Superzoom optics — work together for Portrait Mode and a much improved photography experience over the BlackBerry KEYone.
The 3500 mAh will be good for up to two days of battery life, with Quick Charge 3.0, you can charge fast enough to get the phone ready for a night out in less time than you need to get ready. The latter may be truer for women than men, though.

The BlackBerry KEY2 is going to be available for a limited time and in limited quantity on Shopee’s Shocking Deals this 12th July at RM2449 with a bundled Bluetooth headset. After the promotional period it will be priced at RM2599.
Pokdepinion: BlackBerry’s pricing is quite a bit higher than we find reasonable, but for those who want a physical keyboard, they might just find the premium justifiable.

realme is Gearing Up to Launch Smart TV This Year

One of the fastest rising technology brands in the market right now is realme. At just 18 months old, they have already obtained the 7th rank for global smartphone market share. Now, it appears that they’re set to expand the business even further with a smart TV lineup.
 According to realme Chief Marketing Office Xu Qi, they are planning to launch the realme TV sometime in 2020. The business model and back-end supply chain is currently still being explored at the moment however. Previously, it was rumoured to be coming by end of 2019.
Apart from that, they will also be looking to enter the IoT field, with the idea of launching more comprehensive IoT products around personal, family, and travel situations. This will include audio products, wearables, TVs, and more.

realme believes that they can maintain its growth of more than 100% in 2020, which means their smartphone sales are likely to exceed the 50 million mark. Xu Qi is banking on 5G and “AIoT”, which is said to be a major focus in their development. In fact, they are looking to go full force into 5G in China in 2020 and will stop launching 4G products.
Furthermore, it was revealed that they will achieve full coverage of 5G this year and are looking to launch 5G smartphones with a price range of 1500 yuan / USD $216 / RM885.92 to 2000 yuan / USD $288 / RM1181.23 this year.

Pokdepinion: That sounds really cheap but we also have to take into account that pricing will be different due to currency. We’ll just have to wait and see if it lands in Malaysia for the actual pricing.

MediaTek and NVIDIA Working On A New GPU For Smartphones: Report

Team Green meets Team Red – this time in the smartphone battlefield.

Per DigiTimes report, NVIDIA is working with smartphone SoC chipmaker MediaTek to design a new GPU for upcoming SoC (system-on-a-chip) destined for future smartphones. This opens up a brand new battlefield for the graphics giant, where they meets the old rival AMD once again.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

“MediaTek is expected to integrate an NVIDIA GPU into its next-generation flagship mobile processor as early as 2024, according to industry sources. In addition to co-developing mobile handset platforms to enhance AI and gaming functionalities of MediaTek’s application processors, MediaTek and NVIDIA will also cooperate in developing WOA (Windows on Arm) platform products for notebook applications,” DigiTimes wrote in the report.
It won’t come as a surprise if NVIDIA wants to bring its AI-enhanced feature stack down to mobile applications. Technologies such as DLSS2, DLSS3, Reflex, and Ray tracing are NVIDIA’s greatest hits in recent years, and given the constraints of mobile form factor, such features may give them significant advantage over competition. That being said, this isn’t the first mobile chip that NVIDIA has designed – that actually belongs to Tegra series which dates all the way back in 2011, powering various Android 3.0 “Honeycomb” tablets.  The chip has since featured in NVIDIA Shield, as well as Nintendo Switch.
For reference, Samsung was the first to get AMD onboard to design a SoC with licensed technologies and architectures for its recent Exynos releases; though so far only a single model, the Exynos 2200, features the RDNA2-based GPU. Both parties has signed a new agreement to continue partnership – so new chips may still be on the way. Meanwhile, Qualcomm continues to use its own in-house Adreno GPUs (which in itself was a Radeon spinoff nearly two decades ago) and has maintained competitive performance over the years since.

Pokdepinion: That’s a rather surprising development. Given NVIDIA’s technological prowess, MediaTek may have some serious weapon on hand to give Qualcomm or even Apple a run of their money.

Telephoto Camera VS Periscope Camera: Why Do Smartphones Have Two Zoom Cameras?

Ever wondered why our smartphones come with two zoom cameras? Their purposes sound the same on paper, so why do we need two separate modules for it? In this article, we’re going to dissect both the telephoto camera and the periscope camera; understanding what they are exactly, what makes them different, and why is there a difference in image quality.
What is a Telephoto Camera?
Picture credits: Vladan Blahnik, DeGruyter
A telephoto camera in a smartphone is a type of camera that has a longer focal length than the phone’s primary camera. This allows it to capture images of objects that are farther away, without losing detail or image quality. Telephoto lenses use a narrow angle of view to magnify the subject and make it appear closer, even from a distance. They typically have a focal length that is longer than the standard or wide-angle lens on a smartphone, usually around 50mm or higher.
Many modern smartphones now come equipped with telephoto lenses, which can be useful for capturing portrait shots or for zooming in on distant subjects without losing image quality. Using the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra as an example, this one has a 70mm focal length and is capable of 3x optical zoom. Some smartphones even feature multiple telephoto lenses, allowing for even greater zoom capabilities, which brings us to the next part; the periscope camera.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

What is a Periscope Camera?
Picture credits: XDA Developers
A periscope camera, otherwise known as a periscope telephoto camera, is a specialized type of telephoto camera that uses a periscope-like arrangement of lenses and mirrors to achieve a longer focal length without increasing the thickness of the phone. Instead of using a long lens that extends out from the phone, the periscope telephoto camera uses a set of small lenses and mirrors arranged perpendicular to the main camera sensor. This allows the camera to achieve a longer focal length and greater zoom capabilities, without adding bulk to the smartphone.
Periscope telephoto cameras are commonly found in high-end smartphones that require advanced camera features. In the case of the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, it has a 230mm focal length and can zoom in on distant subjects with 10x optical zoom. Of course, it can go further than that but it will come at the cost of image quality as it would have relied on digital zoom to go up to 100x magnification.
Why Do I Need Two Different Zoom Cameras in a Smartphone?

The main difference between a periscope camera and a regular telephoto camera in a smartphone is in their physical design and their zoom capabilities. As I mentioned earlier, a regular telephoto camera has a longer focal length than the primary camera and can capture images of objects that are farther away without losing detail or image quality. It achieves this by using a longer lens, which can extend out from the phone, or by using a shorter lens with a higher magnification factor.
In contrast, a periscope telephoto camera achieves a longer focal length and greater zoom capabilities by using a periscope-like arrangement of lenses and mirrors. This allows the camera to achieve a longer focal length and greater zoom capabilities without adding bulk to the device.
So while both regular telephoto cameras and periscope telephoto cameras can help you capture better images of distant subjects, the periscope telephoto camera is designed for much more powerful zoom capabilities.
Which Camera is Better?
Periscope camera still looks good here but details aren’t as sharp in darker areas
In terms of imaging quality, it’s difficult to say whether a periscope camera or a regular telephoto camera is better, as it ultimately depends on the specific implementation of each camera. Generally speaking, a regular telephoto camera is likely to produce higher quality images than a periscope telephoto camera when zooming in only a small amount, as it can use a larger lens with fewer optical compromises.
It’s harder to see difference in broad daylight. Periscope camera looks great here
However, when zooming in beyond a certain point, a periscope telephoto camera can outperform a regular telephoto camera in terms of image quality, as it can achieve a longer focal length without losing image quality. While this can be hard to tell with smartphones as it automatically switches between the camera modules, it still does ring true for the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra as well. We’ve included some sample shots here to demonstrate and give you a clearer idea.
While the logo can be seen clearly, it looks softer on the periscope camera in the dark, and it’s also noisier
That said, both types of cameras are capable of producing excellent image quality when used correctly, and other factors such as sensor quality, image processing, and software algorithms can also play a significant role in determining the overall image quality. So while the periscope camera may offer greater zoom capabilities, the regular telephoto camera may still be a better choice for some users depending on their needs and usage scenarios.

Mortal Kombat 11 Cross-Play In Consideration – Play With Friends Across 4 Platforms

Mortal Kombat 11 Cross-Play In Consideration

The hype for Mortal Kombat 11 is high and more information has started to pop up on the game. The latest one we have gotten to know about is that there is some strong consideration on adding cross-play functionality for the game.
According to wccftech during the game’s press event in London, Game Designer Derek Kirtzic was asked about the chances of cross-platform play making it into Mortal Kombat 11. Details aren’t ready to be discussed right now but it was stated that it is something NetherRealm Studios is looking into and hope to do so at some point.
Furthermore, in an interview with GameRevolution regarding the Nintendo Switch version of the game, Producer Trevor Traub said:

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

We’re trying to reach as many people as we possibly can. So we’re going to take that opportunity.
Opening the title up to more players through cross-platform means would certainly broaden the playing field and bring friends together across various platforms. In the past, Fortnite generated a lot of interest on cross-platform play. This even led to Epic Games pushing for cross-platform online services live throughout this year for the Unreal Engine, the very engine Mortal Kombat 11 is running on.
Of course, there may be some hiccups here and there in the journey of making Mortal Kombat 11 cross-play compatible. While Microsoft and Nintendo is a strong supporter, Sony has only started dipping their toes in it. For now, we will wait and see if it will be present in the game or not.
Mortal Kombat 11 will be coming to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch on 23rd April 2019.

Pokdepinion: At this point, cross-play should be the norm for multiplatform games. Sure, advantages in certain platforms could make it easier for some to play but ultimately, it’s about making it easier to have fun with friends.

4th Batch PlayStation 5 Malaysia Pre-Orders Confirmed – You Have To Be Quick

Have you been trying your luck to get the PS5 console but failed so far? We have good news for you as the 4th batch of PlayStation 5 Malaysia pre-orders has been confirmed, but as always, you will have to be quick about it.
4th Batch PlayStation 5 Malaysia Pre-Orders Confirmed
Sony Malaysia has officially announced that the 4th batch of PlayStation 5 Malaysia pre-orders will be up starting 19th March 2021 at precisely 12:01AM Malaysia time (GMT+8). It will be available at the Sony Official Store on Lazada.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

With that being said, it’s briefly yet vaguely mentioned that there are pre-orders available physically via their official stores and at PlayStation authorized dealers. This will be running in accordance with a strict SOP as our country is still going through some form of MCO.
As before, there’s the usual rule of one accessory and / or one console per customer so people can’t simply mass purchase it. This will ensure as many people will be able to get their hands on the next gen console as possible. There will be limited stocks, so you will have to be quick about it.
The same retail prices still apply, with the Standard Edition console going for RM2,299 while the Digital Edition is going for RM1,849.
If you want to book your pre-order online on Lazada, click right here.

Pokdepinion: I already have mine for a while and I’m happy with it. I wish everyone who plans on getting their hands on one a very good luck. I’m sure scalpers are ready to strike once again.

My Hero One’s Justice 2 English Release Confirmed

Fans of the popular anime / manga series Boku No Hero Academia / My Hero Academia will have something big to look forward to as the next fighting game adaptation of the series has been confirmed. While many thought that only the Japanese audience will be getting it, we’ve received confirmation that an English release will also be coming.
Following the official teaser reveal by Bandai Namco Entertainment that confirmed the game’s release in 2020, the publisher released a slew of new screenshots from the upcoming My Hero One’s Justice 2 to give viewers a better glimpse at the action-packed 3D arena fighting game. Specifically, the new screenshots give us a look at some of the new fighters expected to join My Hero One’s Justice 2, including Overhaul, while also giving us glimpses of the colourful, action-packed fighting experience.

Alongside the new screenshots, Bandai Namco’s release of an English trailer for the game confirmed that it will be getting a Western release in 2020, though it’s unclear at this time what the game’s release window will be next year, or whether the English release will be coming simultaneously with the Japanese version.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

While the game itself won’t arrive until next year, Bandai Namco will be making preparations to share more details on the game at New York Comic Con 2019, which will be happening this weekend, along with a playable demo of the game at the event itself.

My Hero One’s Justice 2 will be coming to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC sometime in 2020.
Pokdepinion: I hope there will be significant changes that will warrant a sequel instead of it just being a minor update over the previous game.

Celcom MEGA gets new data passes and Unlimited Family Line

Celcom announced new additions to their Celcom Mega Postpaid data passes which allow you to customize your plan to your needs. You now get the option to opt for the new M Plus and L Plus passes, which are available for both the Unlimited and Lightning flavors.
New M Plus and L Plus passes
The new Unlimited M Plus pass costs RM48/month, RM30 more than the existing Unlimited M pass. It offers an extra 10GB of hotspot quota, for a total of 20GB. The speed cap has also been increased to 15Mbps, up from 10Mbps. Meanwhile the Unlimited L Plus is priced at RM78/month, with a speed cap of 20Mbps and a monthly hotspot quota of 30GB.

If you have a need for speed, the Lightning M Plus pass offers 30GB at RM48/month, while the Lightning L Plus offers 50GB at RM78/month. The Celcom MEGA Lightning passes do not feature a speed cap, but instead tout a quota, so you can choose whether you want fast, uncapped internet, or slower, unlimited data.
Celcom MEGA Unlimited Family Line

Celcom previously offered Celcom MEGA subscribers the option to add supplementary lines for RM40/month with 30GB of quota each. The latest addition sees Celcom offer supplementary lines with unlimited quota for RM40/month. The Unlimited Family Line is capped at 6Mbps, and only has a mere 5GB for hotspot usage. More hotspot data can be added via additional purchases, priced from as low as RM1 for 1GB valid for 24 hours, or 10GB that’s valid for a month at RM10.
All the above are addons to the base Celcom MEGA plan that’s priced at RM80/month with 40GB of quota. You can find out more about the Celcom MEGA personal and family plans here.
Pokdepinion: I think the Unlimited passes are the most worthwhile to get from Celcom.

Improve Your Bluetooth Wireless Earphones’ Audio Quality Easily With These Steps

Previously, we talked about the different types of audio codecs used by a lot of the wireless Bluetooth earphones or headphones today and explained about what it does and what’s different between them. However, did you know that you can get your wireless earphones or headphones to sound a little bit better than before? All you have to do is to give your Bluetooth codec settings a little tweak on your Android smartphone. It’s quick and easy and you don’t have to hack or tear down your phone to do it.

Here’s how to do it.

How To Improve Your Bluetooth Wireless Earphones/Headphones’ Audio Quality
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Step 1: Enable Developer Options by going to About Phone and tapping on your build number 7 times (tap on MIUI version instead if you’re using a Xiaomi phone).
Step 2: Navigate to Developer Options.
Step 3: Scroll down and tap on Bluetooth Audio Codec.
Step 4: Select the audio codec that’s supported by your wireless earphones or headphones.
That’s it, you’re done and yes it’s that easy. You might want to connect your wireless earphones or headphones first though before you start playing around with your settings.

I might also add that you can play around with the bit rates in the same audio codec section in Developer Options to really get the sound quality of your wireless earphones or headphones to your liking. One thing to note is that not all of the settings are supported by your device and your earphones so if it’s not supported then the settings you have chosen will not work. Besides, even if the settings you chose don’t work, it doesn’t hurt to try.
Happy trying everyone!

This Is How Dota 2 Plans On Bringing Players Back And Punish Smurfs

We’ve previously reported that Dota 2 has recorded a loss in terms of player count and now it seems that the game by Valve is looking to promote the game back to players in the game with a few things.
Dota 2 changes soon to come
Dota 2
What exactly they’ll do? Well for starters, it appears that they plan on segregating the hero updates throughout the year instead of releasing it on one go.
Beforehand, they would opt for the latter option, giving changes to the game prior to The Internationals. Aside from, it seems that they soon introduce a few of new heroes soon, which is expected to be in November 2020 which then is followed by another batch in the first quarter of 2021.

If you’ve been playing the game for quite some time, you would probably know the biggest issue with the game; smurf accounts. In case you don’t know what exactly that is, well it is when an experienced (in this case Dota 2 gamer) represent themselves as a low-tier account or even a new one. This is somewhat disrupts the game, especially in Ranked games where beginners try to rise up the ranks but face experienced players that are not on the same level as them.
Valve looks to cut down on these account by using “improved detection systems” to separate these smurfs from the public matchmaking pool. According to reports, these accounts will also be only matched with each other, offering a more fair experience for those who truly just started to play Dota 2. It is said that Valve has banned over 14,000 accounts last month.

Pokdepinion: Hmm I don’t know on how effective will their detection system will be.. Smurf accounts are the only thing that’s preventing me from playing Ranked.. It’s been awhile since I’ve played too.. Hopefully we’ll hear positive news on the game soon.

Apple May Be Rebranding iPhone and iOS – You Might Not Like the New Names

If you’re a fan of Apple products, you might not like a potential name change that might be coming soon. Recent insider information have suggested that they may be rebranding the iPhone and iOS soon.
iPhone to Apple Phone, iOS to iPhone OS

iPhone OS.
— Jon Prosser (@jon_prosser) June 18, 2020

According to tipster Jon Prosser, iOS might just be renamed to iPhone OS. This will perhaps let it be more distinguishable given that their iPads are now using iPadOS. If this is true, the upcoming iOS 14 might end up being called iPhone OS 14.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

But that isn’t all however as it appears that the may change the device name as well. If it does happen, it’s expected to be called the Apple Phone instead. The information comes from Max Weinbach, who responded to Jon Prosser’s tweet as he allegedly received an email declaring a change in the names.
For now, nothing has been truly confirmed yet. We do expect to hear more about this, if there is any truth to the matter, at the upcoming Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). We will be reporting more on this as soon as information becomes available so stay tuned.

Pokdepinion: It’s a simple, elegant name. I don’t really understand what’s the point of renaming something that is already pretty solid in consumers’ minds on a global scale. Maybe the OS name, but not the device itself.

Lenovo & Intel Partner Up – May I Have One Of Your Finger Please?

It was found out that 81% of data breaches last year involved weak, default, or stolen passwords. With such an alarming statistic, Lenovo and Intel has joined arms as Lenovo’s latest PCs insert FIDO-certified authenticators directly into the core of the PCs.
FIDO Authenticator
Instead of depending on passwords as the only option for logging into websites, users now can utilize and have a safer way in logging in with the touch of a finger on the integrated fingerprint reader through Universal Authentication Framework (UAF), or the click of a real-time on screen button through Universal 2 Factor (U2F).
With these integrated authenticators, websites use security keys that are protected and rooted deeply in the PC’s hardware, which increases user protection and reducing fraud risks.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

Additionally, Intel Online Connect and Intel Software Guard Extensions (Intel SGX) are built into 7th and 8th Gen Intel Core processors, which offers user authentication information protection with the implementation of the integrated fingerprint reader.
Also benefiting from this are merchants. With it being built in their PCs, they can safeguard their social media access, banking information, and online shopping.
Going online has become an indispensable part of our daily lives in the always-on, digital world. People need hassle-free, built-in security that helps to protect them when logging into websites for banking, shopping and social media. Partnering with Intel to deliver FIDO-certified solutions, we’re addressing online security issues head-on by providing a simpler, safer online authentication experience and reducing our dependency on passwords alone Johnson Jia, Senior Vice President of Lenovo’s PCs and Smart Devices Product Group
Intel Online Connect is available to download from the web and it will be made available through Lenovo System Update and Lenovo App Explorer on all 7th and 8th Gen Intel Core processors that have enabled Intel SGX.
List of compatible Lenovo system includes; Yoga 920, IdeaPad 720S, ThinkPad X1 Tablet, ThinkPad X1 Carbon, ThinkPad Yoga 370, ThinkPad  T570, ThinkPad T51s, ThinkPad T470s, ThinkPad X270 and ThinkPad X270s.
Pokdepinion: Security breaches will happen nonetheless, but this step from Lenovo and Intel would definitely reduce the percentage.

Unveiling the YouTube Scammer: Mastermind Sentenced to 5 Years in Royalty Fraud Case

In a shocking revelation, a YouTube scammer has been handed a five-year prison sentence for falsely claiming a staggering $23 million in royalties. This audacious fraud targeted both independent and global music superstars, including Daddy Yankee and Prince Royce. Let’s delve into the details of this elaborate scheme and the consequences faced by the perpetrators.
Jose Teran: The Nightmare of Many YouTube Content Creators

Jose Teran, the mastermind behind the YouTube scam, operated over a five-year period, duping the website by claiming copyright on over 50,000 songs. To execute the fraud, Teran established his own company, MediaMuv, and partnered with another entity to maintain a layered façade of legitimacy.

 Join Pokde Telegram Channel

Teran predominantly targeted Latino artists, uploading MP3 recordings to YouTube and subsequently making false claims for royalties alongside his business partner, Webster Batista Fernandez. The fraudulent scheme relied on identifying songs that had not yet been monetized and exploiting YouTube’s content management system (CMS) to claim the copyright and associated royalties.
While similar scams have exploited YouTube for fraudulent copyright claims, Teran and MediaMuv took their operation to new heights. They aimed to assert “100 per cent of the royalties for master recordings or publishing.” Their audacity knew no bounds, as they sought to maximize their illicit gains.
Image: YouTube
The IRS investigation in 2019 brought the fraudulent activities of Teran and MediaMuv to light. Teran’s intricate network included multiple bank accounts under fake names. In total, he pleaded guilty to 30 counts, including wire fraud, transactional money laundering, and aggravated identity theft. He admitted conspiring with Batista to monetize music they had no lawful rights to control.
Jose Teran was sentenced to 70 months, equivalent to slightly over five years, in prison. His accomplice, Batista Fernandez, has also pleaded guilty and awaits sentencing. The court has ordered both individuals to pay restitution to those affected by the complex fraud. Downton Music Holdings, the owner of AdRev, expressed satisfaction with the defendants’ guilty pleas and reaffirmed their commitment to prosecuting fraudulent activities within the industry.

Pokdepinion: The sentencing of the YouTube scammer marks a significant victory in the fight against fraudulent activities in the music industry. This case serves as a stern warning to potential perpetrators that such fraudulent schemes will be thoroughly investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. As the industry continues to evolve, safeguarding the rights and royalties of artists remains paramount.

Kingston XS2000 and DataTraveler Max deliver high speeds, high capacity in small form factors

Fast storage speeds are probably not all that interesting nowadays. We have all sorts of fast storage, all the way up to 7000MB/s and beyond, but, definitely not this small. Kingston has just announced the Kingston XS2000 Portable SSD and DataTraveler Max flash drive, for those who want their fast storage, and want to be able to slip it into their pockets at a moment’s notice.
Kingston XS2000 Portable SSD

The Kingston XS2000 Portable SSD is barely larger than a USB thumb drive, but Kingston decided to give it a USB-C interface for flexibility. Thanks to the USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 protocol, the Kingston XS2000 Portable SSD can deliver read and write speeds of up to 2000MB/s. To ensure that your data is safe, the drive is rated IP55 for ingress protection, with a removable rubber sleeve that further enhances its durability.

You can get the Kingston XS2000 Portable SSD in capacities ranging up to 2TB with 5-year warranties. Pricing and availability in Malaysia is still unknown, but you can probably expect such great storage to come with great price tags as well.
Kingston DataTraveler Max flash drive
The Kingston DataTraveler Max builds upon the impressive range of high-end USB thumb drives, with the Kingston DataTraveler Max promising up to 1000MB/s read and 900MB/s write, which makes it one of the fastest USB drives on the market, and is probably the only one to be able to achieve such speeds while being barely larger than your average USB thumb drive.

The Kingston DataTraveler Max connects via USB 3.2 Gen2, with a retracting USB-C connector that means you don’t have to worry about losing the USB cap. It is available in capacities ranging up to 1TB, which is once again really impressive when you see just how small it is.
Pokdepinion: It’s quite amazing how fast thumb drives are nowadays, when I am still using USB 2.0 drives that write at less than 10MB/s regularly…
