New Boombox Feature Allow Tesla Owners To Change Their Car Horn Audio Fart Sounds Included

If the preset sound bytes are not in line with what car owners are looking for, the company has included the ability for users to upload up to five custom audio tracks via USB. Tesla added that besides the car horn, Boombox also allows for setting custom audio when driving the car or when it arrives to the owner via the Summon feature.

New Cryptocurrency Targets Hdds Ssds For Mining Instead Of Gpus Could Lead To New Shortage

According to a report by HKEPC, cryptominers in China have reportedly been buying up HDDs from 4TB to 18TB capacities, at ravenous speeds. The frantic purchase by these individuals seems to have been spurred on by the emergence of a digital coin known as Burstcoin (Burst). Unlike most cryptocurrencies, Burstcoin is harvested via the use of “proof of space” or proof of capacity; a method of mining that utilises your available storage space, rather than the power of a GPU....

New Patent Suggests Nintendo Might Be Working On New Poke Ball Plus Controllers

The alleged patent designs uploaded by the blogger looks mostly similar to the existing version of the Poke Ball Plus – down to the analog stick on its front, and a single button on its top. It is anyone’s guess right now to what are the new features that we could be expecting from this version of the ball. It would also seem that the improvements could only be related to its internal components....

Nintendo Has Plans For A Switch That Can Output 4K

According to Bloomberg, this new Nintendo Switch model will sport a 7-inch 720p OLED screen. Samsung is expected to start producing these displays starting in June. Though not the 4K output people were expecting, the report states that it can still output UHD resolutions when connected to an external screen. Unfortunately, the report does not come with other details about this new Nintendo Switch model. Being able to output 4K resolutions is basically the only meaningful upgrade the report mentions....

Nintendo Stops Production Of The 3Ds

On the company’s Japanese and European website, Nintendo has put the “out of production” label on the handheld’s page, and all of its variants. On its US site, the company has scrubbed mention of the handheld entirely. It even went as far as redirecting its dedicated 3DS page back to the home page. All things considered, it’s not entirely surprising. The Nintendo 3DS has had nearly a decade-long run. It’s main gimmick, the portable 3D screen, never really took off....

No Man S Sky To Release On Nintendo Switch On 7 October

As Eurogamer reports, Hello Games says that it will continue to expand the game post-release. But that doesn’t exactly confirm if that includes the missing multiplayer support. In a sense, it fits the timeline of the game’s releases on other platforms. If you need a reminder of the timeline, No Man’s Sky was first released all the way back in August of 2016. But not only was it nothing like what was advertised, it didn’t even have a multiplayer mode....

Nokia Xr20 Goes Official A 5G Phone With Rugged Body

Despite looking more down to earth as compared to other rugged phones in the market, HMD Global said that XR20’s body has been designed to meet the MIL-STD-810H standard. Additionally, a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass Victus is also there to protect its screen. When it comes to specs though, the XR20 carries rather modest hardware though. Powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB internal storage, the 5G phone also comes with a 6....

Nothing Ear Stick To Retail For Rm 469 Available First Via Crossover Outlets On 28 October

Design-wise, the new Ear (stick) looks almost no different from the brand’s first audio product, save for the lack of silicone eartips. Despite this, Nothing assures that the buds are both ergonomic and comfortable – a claim that is based on feedback it had received after testing them on 100 pairs of ears. Besides that, the device also features an IP54 rating for water and dust resistance. Onboard each of the earbuds is Nothing’s new 12....

Nvidia Geforce Gtx Cards Getting Ray Tracing Support Soon

This will be done through a Game Ready Driver update that the company is working to release this coming April which will add DirectX Raytracing (DXR) support for GTX cards. In general, the update would enable ray tracing calculation to be performed by shader cores. Given the differences between RTX and GTX cards, this means the ray tracing experience on them will not be equal though. This is mainly due to the fact the Turing-based GPU on RTX cards is equipped with dedicated processing cores for ray tracing called RT Core which lifts out the calculation load for ray tracing from the shader cores....

Nvidia Geforce Rtx 3080 Founders Edition Review Kneel Before The New King Of 4K Gaming

To that end, the GeForce RTX 3080 is one of the first cards that will be hitting store shelves first and I have been given the privilege to play around with the Founders Edition of the card. On that note, allow me to tell you outright: the card is – in every sense of the word – a powerhouse. Specifications Design I’ll begin by making one point clear: while I may have been given the opportunity to review the RTX 3080 FE, the card itself isn’t going to be available in Malaysia, at least, not on an official level....

That proof can actually be seen when the video zooms at the 4-second mark, where you can see a technical document with the title “Diagram for the computation by the Engine of the Number of Bernoulli” at the top of it. For all the non-engineering geeks out there, that’s a chart that was created by the English mathematician, Ada Lovelace. — NVIDIA ANZ (@NvidiaANZ) September 14, 2022 There’s another hidden message inside the Lovelace teaser as well, although it actually took some sleuthing by some eagle-eyed viewers to find....

Opensignal Malaysia S 5G Download Speed Is Almost 17 Times Faster Than 4G

The timing of the report seemed rather apt given that four more telcos including TM, Celcom, U Mobile, and Digi have finally provided 5G access to its customers after their 5G access agreement with Digital Nasional Berhad has finally been finalized. However, we believe most of the data that this report utilized came from Yes and unifi Mobile users though given that the data collection period was from 1 August to 29 October, which is before Celcom, U Mobile and Digi began to offer their 5G service....

Oppo A73 2020 Now Available For Pre Order In Malaysia Priced At Rm 899

The A73 2020 itself is also called F17 in India but only two colourways made their way to Malaysia though, which include Dynamic Orange and Navy Blue. At a glance, the leather-like back cover on the new phone especially the one in Dynamic Orange looked almost identical to the Orange Vegan Leather version of the company’s high-end model, the Find X2 Pro. Given it is a mid-range phone, the A73 2020 offers more modest hardware though with some premium features thrown into the mix....
