Here's the view from my office building rooftop overlooking the Federal Highway, towards Kuala Lumpur. If you look to the left of the skyline, you can just make out the KL Tower and the Petronas Twin Towers. More centrally, we have our own …

In Malaysia we don't have the four seasons, so we don't have "spring", but the country is experiencing a blossoming of sakura trees recently, which is quite pretty to see. In the past week as I've been driving around Kuala Lumpur I've seen these …

Who needs gun control when you can have bullet proof school desks!?! https://twitter.com/maddiexcampbell/status/1374588055068143618?s=20

In Asian cultures drinking water is often considered a "cure-all" for all general ailments. Sore throat? Drink more water. Feeling feverish? Drink more water. Feeling lethargic? Drink more water. Headache? Drink more water. I don't think it's …

WandaVision had a lot of weight on its shoulders. Not only was it the beginning of the new phase of the MCU (also the beginning of a new saga), it was also the first ever Disney+ series produced by Marvel Studios. The MCU for the past decade has …

I've been planning on writing this post for a long time now, originally titled "What alternatives are there to Facebook Groups?". Twitter has forced me to slightly tweak my approach now, as the company has announced that it will soon be unleashing …

Paid subscription tiers is not a new idea on social media. Video sites like YouTube and Twitch which are free for everyone also has paid subscription tiers for fans who want to get exclusive perks from their favourite content creators. These paid …

The Android One brand seems to have died a slow and painful death. It definitely didn't reach the expected level of significance in the market Google intended.

Google has made available the first developer preview (DP1) for Android 12. It introduces some small but meaningful improvements rather than big sweeping changes, which has been the theme for the past couple of iterations as Android has matured …

Many people seem to tolerate it, but I don't think it'll ever be as comprehensive or as powerful as Google Search.

Thanks for the recommendations! I'll check them out.

"Exclusives" are not new to the commercial world. It's a way corporations generate income by ensuring that consumers have to come to them for the products that they want. One industry where exclusives play a major role is the video game industry. …

Never used it, and not interested to, but some people say it's basically the same as Discord, where you have "calls" permanently open and people can jump in and out of the (voice) conversation. Telegram launched a similar feature for their group …

With the show now approaching its final act, the pace has significantly picked up and many people who may have not been sold at the beginning are now starting to get into it. The show has been both critically and commercially successful, which is a …

More proof that our government has failed to handle this pandemic. The University Malaya Medical Centre, one of the oldest and most reputable hospitals in the country, is asking for donations from the public to buy PPE for their …

I saw this going around Twitter. It may seem good, but when you consider the fact that our closest neighbours Thailand and Singapore both are ranked higher, it's not a good look for Malaysia.

There were two other big stories I forgot about that further implicate our government of double standards in the implementation of SOPs. In both cases, individuals who were supposed to be under home quarantine breached their orders and went out in …

Signal is more secure, but it's at the cost of usability. Many features that Telegram has isn't possible in Signal because of the added security. It's a balancing act.

On this day last year, Malaysia reported its first case of COVID-19. The initial wave was very small, mostly a few tourists from China. We then had a short period with no cases, and then the big second wave hit and we were reporting 3-digit new …

It's just a more all-around messenger app. You can use it on multiple devices, it has cloud sync so you'll never lose your messages, and it offers a bunch of other features that make messaging more practical. Signal may prioritise security, but as …

I think the series is acting more like a prologue to phase 4 of the MCU, not so much a complete "story". Since it will lead into Doctor Strange 2 and Spider-Man 3, this series (which btw I think is technically a mini-series) is just gonna set the …

Due to the pandemic, 2020 was the first year since 2009 that we didn't get any new MCU movies. We still don't have a new MCU movie yet, but with WandaVision the MCU has indeed returned, in the first of many Disney+ series that will be coming over …

Not to argue, but I wouldn't really trust Elon. He did say and do a bunch of dumb things at the beginning of the pandemic. His opinion on what's good or not isn't really that …

Here's some final input for you 🤣 https://twitter.com/RjeyTech/status/1347676973921939457?s=20
