I am talking about those mind-bugging notifications from apps and games on Facebook. It’s simply ridiculous! There have been many days when my phone kept buzzing in the middle of some highly important meetings, trying to tell me that a certain Mr. So-and-so is asking me to for coins to play 8-Ball Pool. So annoying! I was so furious that I chucked Facebook out from my ‘Allow notification’ list. And, doing so, missed out on many cool things that my friends had to share....

I guess the problem isn’t that director Chris Sanders opted to use motion-capture. I reckon it isn’t easy to train real dogs to fight like graceful and majestic warriors atop a snowy hill as other canines watch on in nervous anticipation like it’s Ip Man vs a Japanese army general (a great scene, by the way). The problem is that it’s not believable when there are human characters around, which is 99....

And when it came to the decor, the couple were careful to choose a look that chimes with the age of the house. ‘Our vision was to create a retreat reminiscent of a Cotswolds country home,’ says Keren. ‘The house feels a bit British by layering in block printed and antique floral patterning, rich wall colors, and warm textural upholstery in velvets and wool. And ultimately, the atmosphere is both storied and timeless, just like the home itself....

Kate has a knack for creating authentic and lived-in looking schemes, which are achieved by an avoidance of trends and over-styling. She instead anchors her interiors with timeless details that will never age. ‘Creating a home that feels as if it has gradually grown over time is one of the things I pride myself on. With these clients, there was also an accumulating art collection to work with,’ says Kate. While the owners had completed some of the bedrooms, much of the property was painted white and it lacked characterful fabrics and furnishings....

I’m usually pretty reticent about recommending products to you – so when I pick something, I only do so with the confidence that what I’m highlighting is really good, tried and tested by not just me but the wider team – and, of course, that it is sensibly priced. Full disclosure: I’m buying this but haven’t tried it yet. However, it has been thoroughly tested by Millie Fender, our small appliance editor who has put a huge amount of air fryers, including this one, through their paces....

The idea for the Lego Voodoo 3D graphics card was submitted by idspispopd (@Bhaal_Spawn), known by some in the Lego community as the individual who also gave the world a Lego version of the Creative Sound Blaster audio card. For the uninitiated, the Voodoo 3D graphics card shipped out with 4MB of graphics memory (Yes, we know that’s a pitiful amount today. However did we survive) running at a clock speed of 50MHz....

The inspiring transformation from a rundown holiday house to a stunning family home makes this coastal property one of the world’s best homes. Owner Georgina Copeland turned to her friend, interior designer Stephanie Dunning of Dunning & Everard (opens in new tab) for help in redesigning the home. ‘She’s helped me with the interior design of every house I’ve ever owned, but this is the one I hope I’ll be living in forever,’ says Georgina....

The airdrop was axed after a fake account minted seven billion “Peace World Tokens” that analysts suspect was created through spoofing by a third-party, which have now been tagged by Etherscan as “misleading” and that the tokens could be spam or phishing. — Mykhailo Fedorov (@FedorovMykhailo) March 3, 2022 For its donation efforts, the Ukraine is accepting Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, Dogecoin, Solana, and Polkadot, as well as NFTs. According to Elliptic, a cryptocurrency analytics firm, Ukraine has received more than US$55 million (~RM230 million) in cryptocurrency since 26 February, though that still dwarves in comparison to the US$270 million (~RM1....

A group of senators from both sides of the political divide introduced a new piece of legislation. It’s called the Defending America’s 5G Future act. Essentially, it makes it so that the Trump administration cannot remove Huawei from the Entity List. In another uncommon case of unity in today’s US political climate, the country’s politics has kept the future of Huawei in the state of uncertainty. Two months ago, the company has been cut off from US companies....

The announcement came via Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg himself. The post itself doesn’t provide a lot of information, but it’s safe to assume that it will gradually be made available to more users as time goes by. WhatsApp implemented end-to-end encryption all the way back in 2016, but this did not apply to backups. The encryption adds another layer of security to conversations that you’d likely like to keep private. This makes it so that the cloud storage provider, be it Google Drive for Android devices or Apple iCloud for iOS, won’t be able to see what’s inside....
