The battle of smartphones has been long debated by many as two tech giants such as Apple and Samsung have been battling to prove who has the best phone.
Despite of how good both phones are, many have favoured Apple due to its brand name and &ldquo;social status&rdquo; in society but many still stand strong by Samsung&rsquo;s side and it&rsquo;s more due to them loving the flexibility and customizability of an Android phone.
Battle Of The Cameras
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/0b4f9b0802800c23160491a7d86dbbfa38e8959f28f25bf766ab67ac5cae16fb" />
There&rsquo;s no doubt that as technology advances, both cameras are actually amazing and sometimes we can&rsquo;t help thinking that the phone takes better pictures than our DSLR or Mirrorless cameras. In fact, some of the most searched-for opinions online are about how the iPhone camera stacks up against Samsung.
For many years now, the highlight point of Samsung&rsquo;s camera has been their &ldquo;Space Zoom&rdquo; ability where the camera can take incredibly detailed photos. Most commonly with a zoom camera like it, we would point our phones to the sky and take a picture of the moon.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/935b1710aef2ce307fb2337af2c78d2b651021000603b16846cfa994a5d6e048" />
Despite how incredible it is, recently a Reddit user u/ibreakphotos posted a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/11nzrb0/samsung_space_zoom_moon_shots_are_fake_and_here/">forum</a> about how much computational processing Samsung is doing and dubbing the image of the moon as fake. But here&rsquo;s the thing, the word &ldquo;fake&rdquo; can be very deciphered differently according to situations.
How Did The Reddit User Conduct This Test?
According to the thread posted up, the user had taken a high-resolution photograph of the moon and had intentionally blurred its photo. The user later took an image of the moon using the Samsung S23 Ultra and the results were quite surprising.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/5753b3e394c1445468bdca4eb1e3fc4e845151f0ec9990fabefb3e70dd435426" /> First Image: High-Resolution Moon, Second Image, Blurred Moon &amp; Third image: Result from the phone
The first is a high-resolution picture of the moon and it was later brought down in quality as shown in the second image with little to no details but the photo taken by the phone was a &ldquo;crisp and clear&rdquo; photo of the moon. The post-processing of the phone also revealed details on the moon that was never seen before hence why the user dubbed the moon as a fake moon.
This whole controversy revolving around Samsung&rsquo;s ability to zoom up to 100x and unveil a crisp picture of the moon has been going around since they released the S20 Ultra in 2020 and many accused the company of programming and pasting textures of the moon into the phone. But in reality, there&rsquo;s more to it.
How Does Samsung Produce This &ldquo;Fake Moon&rdquo;?
In 2021, a lengthy feature had been posted about the &ldquo;fake detailed moon photos&rdquo; by <a href="https://www.inverse.com/input/reviews/is-samsung-galaxy-s21-ultra-using-ai-to-fake-detailed-moon-photos-investigation-super-resolution-analysis">Input Mag</a> where Samsung says that there had been &ldquo;no image overlaying or textures applied to the photo&rdquo;. Instead, the phone does is that it uses an AI to detect the presence of a moon which later triggers an enhancing function. In a different post, Samsung allegedly says that they use a &ldquo;detail improvement engine function&rdquo; to remove any noise and maximise the details of the moon.&nbsp;
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1afpDuTb-P0" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
In a video posted by Marques Brownlee (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@mkbhd">@MKBHD</a>) on YouTube, he perfectly explains the whole situation that&rsquo;s happening behind the whole Samsung controversy. He explains that previously he made a YouTube Short that showed him zooming into the moon and it looked impressive. He said that it the picture is impressive and the phone isn&rsquo;t doing the AI fakery that Huawei got caught doing years ago.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6951a09611486e720c5e299be6b81a4909306e40d5bf3623eba1c515c719d24e" />
For context, Huawei&rsquo;s P30 Pro had faked the moon images as the system had used pre-existing images of the moon to show the final outcome of the photo.
MKBHD also went to the extent of testing out the camera on a high-resolution and low-resolution photo of the moon to see if the camera triggers the system's processes, and guess what, it actually did.
If you&rsquo;d like to know more about the details of how the feature works, you can head over to <a href="https://r1-community-samsung-com.translate.goog/t5/camcyclopedia/%EB%8B%AC-%EC%B4%AC%EC%98%81/ba-p/19202094?_x_tr_sl=auto&amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;_x_tr_hl=en-GB">this Samsung forum</a> that tells you about the software, but do note that it&rsquo;s in Korean and you&rsquo;ll need to translate it.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/95046804333aa38eb1664aadfb6c7e4ddd2c9677b95e888c6cccbe05f9edf5c2" />
In case you really wanted the most accurate kind of photo without AI processing the image, the feature can be turned off. All you have to do is go to your settings and make your way to the Screen Optimizer Setting in the camera app and disable it.
Conclusion: Is Samsung&rsquo;s Camera Bad/ Fake?
The short answer to that is no, it&rsquo;s not bad nor is it very fake. The reality these days is that phone photography nowadays is changing and the smart AI technology in our phones is processing the photos we take into something that will make our minds think that &ldquo;hey, that&rsquo;s a real photo&rdquo;.&nbsp;
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b2d29d7cd561f80caf469fd2f20583d81c54db2ca64bf63fa19d5d4118e1dea1" />
A good example of this would be the iPhone which can toggle the Smart HDR feature which could potentially ruin the look of some photos or make them arguably the best photo you&rsquo;ve taken.
We don&rsquo;t blame technology and plus, that&rsquo;s what gets everyone&rsquo;s attention. Are photos really becoming more fake these days, to some extent yes, but if it makes it better, why not right? End of the day, a phone is a phone and it&rsquo;s just a personal preference whether you&rsquo;re team Android or iOS.

Samsung “Space Zoom” Exposed: Are The Moon Photos Really Fake?

It&rsquo;s the Ramadan season and this marks the month when Muslims worldwide start fasting. Over the past few months, Malaysians all understand that we&rsquo;ve been hit with inflation and it's been difficult for many to afford basic needs, especially when it comes to meals.
Due to that, many Malaysians have opted to skip meals in order to save money. Even with the introduction of Menu Rahmah by the government, some restaurants have even had to forcefully stop serving it due to their losses.

Despite the inflation issue and hardships that many Malaysians face, this burger stall in Melaka has set the issue aside and offers free food to those in need.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b5bf42f74a1f0285c2f83dcebdc3d18fb28adebc215ce97bae44c9f600fc2d8d" />
Asip Burger Bachang had posted up a picture of a sign in front of their stall stating to customers who can&rsquo;t afford to purchase food, they encourage to let them know about their predicament.
&ldquo;If you don&rsquo;t have money to buy food, please tell us as there&rsquo;s no need to go hungry. We will give you a burger for free,&rdquo; read the sign.

Netizens Praise Their Initiative
As their post gained attention on Facebook, many netizens were touched by the stall's initiative to help those in need. Before you think that this only attracted the Malay crowd, it was also shared across Chinese language-based platforms and it too got much praise.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/a4e03508c7bca34bc3f2e4bceaa7ed5f82f2f7b9a3709cea45c9c3e062214fbd" />
&ldquo;Thankful for your presence, boundless merits, may a good person have a peaceful life.&rdquo;
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/80de46514a49c9f4c0351c2231a7b671948f37a8206fdc0bf15e9df39135d323" />
&ldquo;Thank you 🙏 for your selfless dedication.&rdquo;
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/20fead0c5d31360e17ab490be48dc35f8b03a8b1e43c34119d276e3e5f25fd33" />
&ldquo;There are actually many good Malay people... I remember when I used to manage a stall, every time when finding a spot, I ask the Malay people they will personally find a spot for you to set up your stall. Some even help u to carry the stock! But for chinses people... they would not say a word or say there&rsquo;s no spots available and to leave.&rdquo;
<img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://r2.myc.my/d761bd67a3943b9f649b967fa0a9c48d3c64fc88a126983ab865de3eddbb2790" />
One thing to note is that the stall informed the public that during Ramadan, their stall will not be operating throughout Ramadan as they would like to take the opportunity to fast and return from work peacefully without having the need to rush to purchase goods and break fast with their family. They did promise that after the 7th day of Hari Raya, they will resume operations as usual.

Now that&rsquo;s what we call being united as Malaysians. Being kind can go a long way and even the smallest gesture can be helpful. Hopefully, many other Malaysians can follow in their footsteps and together we can tackle the food poverty issue.

Burger Stall In Melaka Offers Free Burgers For Those In Need

Photography is the art and practice of capturing images using light and technology. It has the power to freeze a moment in time, convey emotions, and tell stories without words.
Despite the era of smartphone cameras taking over the vast majority of people, nothing can ever beat the feeling of holding a physical camera and taking shots of subjects all around you.
Canon Malaysia Slammed By Malaysians
Recently, Canon Malaysia uploaded a video showcasing street photography by local photographer <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mimstreetphotography/?hl=en">@mimstreetphotography</a>.
<video style="width: 660px; height: 330px;" controls="controls" width="660" height="330">
<source src="https://r2.myc.my/6cfa2e6f50db9073270208c1f1611057891f271a704e73776470918e915d1037" /></video>
The caption read out &ldquo;STREET PHOTOGRAPHY&rdquo; and typically, many would think they&rsquo;d see some pretty impressive shots of what&rsquo;s going on around the streets of KL. However, to those who haven&rsquo;t dived much into photography, the video would certainly attract users as it showcases the brand's EOS RP camera that&rsquo;s paired up with their EF135mm F2.0L USM lens.
Netizens had called out Canon Malaysia on their social media platforms pointing out that the video they shared was not street photography and many gave their own opinion about the issue.
The issue was brought to light by photojournalist Farhan Akmal who shared a series of opinions on Twitter.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
It's disappointing to see the brand ignore the local scene. Supporting the community is essential, not just pushing products. Street photography is an art form that requires understanding &amp; appreciation. Brands should strive to educate themselves &amp; contribute to the community.
&mdash; Farhan (@lamkanahraf) <a href="https://twitter.com/lamkanahraf/status/1638701436388384768?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 23, 2023</a></blockquote>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none">
It's time for camera brands to move beyond just selling products and become active members of the artistic communities they serve. Supporting creativity benefits everyone.
&mdash; Farhan (@lamkanahraf) <a href="https://twitter.com/lamkanahraf/status/1638701439878062084?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 23, 2023</a></blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

In the Facebook post that has now been deleted by Canon, stand-up comedian <a href="https://twitter.com/prakashdaniel">Prakash Daniel</a> also voiced out his thoughts and called for Canon Malaysia to &ldquo;stop spoiling the term Street Photography&rdquo;. He called out the brand for not featuring many other established street photographers in the country and questioned how the brand managed to come up with content that&rsquo;s pulled out straight from TikTok.
For reference, this is likely the TikTok trend Canon Malaysia was going for:
<blockquote class="tiktok-embed" style="max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@ryukstyles/video/7167620152345824517" data-video-id="7167620152345824517">

&nbsp;Netizens Share Divided Opinions On The Video
Although the post has now been deleted from Facebook, Canon Malaysia&rsquo;s Instagram still has it up but its caption had since been edited to &ldquo;Is this reel street photography, or something else? What do you think? Comment below!&rdquo;.
Of course, the negativity didn&rsquo;t stop on Instagram and many shared their thoughts on the video:
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/97f80126cd846615e346ab76af16a486445643ac7b6ddc72304ef85df2a4163c" />
But despite it, some had voiced out and did say that what Canon did is indeed street photography as most of these shots are candid shots in an environment that can&rsquo;t necessarily be controlled all the time.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/fa205440e6adf1bf0067e6adbe8650b2a692e89c7095dc1597126cf88f8ed18a" />
What Is Defined As Street Photography?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/fbd8e199ae991bf5b26a6552128b96913519c65bd97c6730204ab579c59d1ed3" />
Street photography is typically known as candid photography. The style is conducted for art or enquiry that features unmediated chances encounters and random incidents within public areas. What makes street photography such a fun topic is how each subject you take always has a story behind the photo which shows the expression of a person during the said moment.
Typically, this type of photography is often taken without the knowledge of the strange which gives the photo the most authentic feel. Even Bloomberg noted that street photographers would not necessarily have a social purpose in mind as they would like to isolate and capture moments that sometimes go unnoticed.
In our opinion, street photography can be about anything and everything. Despite Canon deleting their original post and caption, the debate is certainly an interesting topic but it&rsquo;s nothing to get mad and point fingers at.
No matter if you&rsquo;re new or a veteran in the photography world, remember to always shoot what you love as any photo can have a meaning to it.

The Street Photography Debate: Canon Malaysia's Approach On Topic Outrages Netizens

For some of us adventure seekers, climbing a mountain is certainly something that we&rsquo;d put on our bucket list as it&rsquo;s not often you get to have the feeling of being on top of the world.
If you&rsquo;re in Malaysia, one of the stepping stones to climbing mountains is to reach the peak of Mount Kinabalu in Sabah as it&rsquo;s the tallest mountain in Malaysia. In the past, we&rsquo;ve also seen some pretty interesting stories of people climbing Mount Kinabalu, from wearing an Iron Man suit to even a FoodPanda rider at its peak.
Read: <a href="https://myc.my/articles/1477/man-climbs-mt-kinabalu-in-an-iron-man-suit-to-raise-awareness-on-dmd">Man Climbs Mt Kinabalu In An Iron Man Suit To Raise Awareness On DMD</a> Read: <a href="https://myc.my/articles/2258/foodpanda-rider-spotted-delivering-food-at-the-top-of-mount-kinabalu">FoodPanda Rider Spotted &lsquo;Delivering Food&rsquo; At The Top Of Mount Kinabalu</a>
Japanese Man Climbs Mount Kinabalu In A Suit

If you thought you&rsquo;ve seen it all, oh how wrong you are. Recently, a Japanese man had scaled to the top of the mountain in a three-piece suit! The man, identified as Nobutaka Sada is a tailor who markets his brand &ldquo;Sada&rdquo; on a whole new level as he tends to find himself in unusual circumstances and unexpected locations.
Recently, one of the mountain porters had bumped into Sada while he was making his way up the mountain with a briefcase and rocking a pair of brown Asics leather business shoes. The porter asked Sada where he was from and Sada&rsquo;s reply was priceless.
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m from Japan. I have a business meeting at the peak of Mount Kinabalu,&rdquo; he said.

After Sada left, the porter continued on to make his way to the top and ran into Sada again at the Raban Lata halfway point and the peak of the mountain where Sada was posing for photos at the top. Once Sada was done with his &ldquo;business meeting&rdquo; the porter approached Sada again and he said he&rsquo;ll be going for a jog now. Just as the porter wished him congratulations, Sada had made his way down the mountain.

Sada Shares His Experience On Facebook
After this adventure to the top, Sada shared his experience of his journey to the top of the mountain on Facebook.

&ldquo;In SADA&rsquo;s custom suit, I successfully climbed the highest peak in Borneo, Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia! It&rsquo;s higher than Mount Fuji, standing at 4,095 meters above sea level! I even stayed overnight in a hut halfway up the mountain and climbed the steep slope to see the sunrise at the summit, illuminated by the stars. Despite the tropical humidity and rain that we encountered during the climb, SADA's custom suit maintained a level of professionalism suitable for business meetings. SADA's custom suit can withstand even climbing Mount Kinabalu!&rdquo; he said.
Initially, he did not know that the TikTok video from the porter had gained quite a lot of attention and as he was leaving the airport, someone at the immigration counter asked if he climbed the mountain in the suit he was wearing. At first, he was puzzled and later found out that the person found that he had gone viral on TikTok.
Netizens Amazed At Sada
At the time of writing this article, the video of Sada stating that he had finished his business meeting at the top of the mountain had gained 141.3K views, &nbsp;13.5K likes and 560 comments on TikTok. Meanwhile, on Twitter, two posts about Sada&rsquo;s climb had gone viral with 2.9K and 2.5K retweets respectively.

Many netizens were amused and praised Sada for climbing up the mountain while wearing the suit. Some even questioned the shoes he was wearing as they were just as amazed that they had a lot of grip to get up the mountain.

Is there anything that Japanese people can’t do?

Japanese Man Climbs Up Mount Kinabalu In A Full Suit!

Recently, news of Hot Thai Guys performing at Privacy Club at Jalan Tun Razak, Kuala Lumpur became a hot topic on social media.
If you don&rsquo;t know who these men are, they are said to be famous in Thailand at a restaurant called Staneemeehoi in Lat Phrao, Bangkok.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/87dd5d49a9719741dd399c305d854f1fecf78f7fcda2a59316b58d521d6c3bff" />
According to the event poster, there were 4 hunky men the club had intended to invite the men to Kuala Lumpur for their opening which was supposed to be held on 30th March with tickets allegedly going on sale for RM888.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2c668773f22755815adc79186f345242b19c44b8cd314cf112e613ff7f846761" width="433" height="613" />
Many news outlets picked up on the story and reported that people were not thrilled about such an event happening in Malaysia, especially since its currently the month of Ramadan. While there are many stories of politicians disapproving of the opening of the club such as PAS secretary Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan who had urged DBKL to take action.
Astro Awani meanwhile reported that UMNO&rsquo;s Youth Division had also struck out against the event and is lodging a police report over the event.
Najib&rsquo;s Son Sad About The Situation
After the posts had gone viral across social media, the son of former Prime Minister Najib Razak slammed the premise for planning an event there as well as insulting his late grandfather&rsquo;s name.
<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FMNMNajib%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0q4VT1kzoama9otSbiAhe5W861a2shHKbQmBMbtwCGU2KwP2nTLpV5gchnpkRbLBPl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="647" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
&ldquo;Using my Tokda&rsquo;s name Allahyarham Tun Abdul Razak as a material or promotional article is an insult to my big family. This is very very inappropriate and I see it as an insult to Allahyarham (Tun Abdul Razak). Disappointed and sad, these are things filling my heart right now,&rdquo; said Nazif.
Addressing The Situation
After receiving a lot of backlashes, the management of Privacy had not expected that the event will bring this much negative attention and they had come forward to address the situation.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/416a57fd09a96969178f3d569062892913ebc17d859de74925d0908c92b6677a" />
According to their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PrivacyTunRazak/posts/pfbid02SYSraqDsnL6oU2Xf7ZFxvuxPXTWLUZqmq6Bd6L4NeLui55yCGENuToz7NLdDpsvbl?locale=ms_MY">Facebook</a> post, the owners of the club apologized and informed the organizers of the program to cancel the event on 30 March. It also stated that they respect the religious sensitivities of the country and will not violate the laws that have been set. Furthermore, they clarified that the media distribution regarding the program was posted without their consent and apologised for that error.
Were They Operating Without A Valid License?
There had been reports that the venue had been operating under an expired license and had no application for an entertainment license which included the Hot Thai Guys and guest DJs. They too clarified that the statement that was reported was not accurate.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/4e6b02e628d5b848ae10b56de125bf6b33bb96d70b00f238f493638a90a5bcd8" />
&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve always renewed our license and our current license is valid until July this year.&rdquo; The representative also told Sin Chew Daily that the dancers were not invited to perform at the venue but to only attend the club&rsquo;s opening ceremony and cut the ribbon.
Well, if any of you were planning to go to the event to specifically meet the men due to how popular they are, you can&rsquo;t do so now. Though there are many happening events in Kuala Lumpur, its always best to respect the views or the practices of other religions in the country and try not to have such &ldquo;controversial&rdquo; events during this period, especially since it&rsquo;s Ramadan month.

Controversy: Privacy Club Tun Razak Address Media Backlash Over Thai Hot Guys

If you were to ask any gamer no matter old or young, they&rsquo;ll likely say that they have heard of or have played the game Counter-Strike. The game has become an icon in the competitive Esports and gaming scene as it has a long legacy after being around for 20 years.
Over the years, we&rsquo;ve seen different variations of the game from Counter-Strike 1.6 (2003), Counter-Strike: Condition Zero (2004), Counter-Strike: Source and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (2012).
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7b377a94a2513932f87ece9ca3ca9bd4ef6be9751c77f447f25926e3132703c4" />
Many amazing memories were shared between the series of games by many from casual players to even a bunch of iconic moments created in the Esports scene, especially during the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) era that lasted for 11 years.
Valve Announces A New Counter-Strike
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ee1e4b07d8af3277823675497bb98c7f9676bb48c06644262c53e2dd743f674b" />
Out of nowhere around 12am local time, Valve suddenly confirmed their latest game, Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) and it literally broke the internet in the gaming scene. For years now, the game has been highly anticipating an update to its old and outdated Source Engine but after numerous rumours, it was all shut down and fans were left disappointed until last night.
On their official Twitter page, the developers announced that they are running a limited test for CS2 which is described as a complete overhaul of every system, content and part of the game experience.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Counter-Strike 2.
&mdash; CS2 (@CounterStrike) <a href="https://twitter.com/CounterStrike/status/1638582094640328705?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 22, 2023</a></blockquote>
Let&rsquo;s Check Out What&rsquo;s New About The Game
Valve has specifically spotlighted 3 key sections of the game's upgrades in their post which include an overhaul to its core mechanics in hopes of delivering a better gaming experience to its existing and potentially upcoming players. The game also revamped the UI enhancements and even reworked its audio.
1) Responsive Smoke Grenades
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_y9MpNcAitQ" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
First off, we have the new dynamic smoke update. In the previous game due to the limitations of the engine, each player will see different variations of the smoke and it is not consistent, it just stood there as it is till it slowly fades away.
In the latest engine, all of these changes allow the smoke to react with the environment around the maps. From lighting, growing to fill spaces and the biggest thing to it is that the shape and cloud of the smoke can now be pushed and react with bullets flying through and grenades exploding within them.
2) Visual Upgrades
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ExZtISgOxEQ" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
The next upgrade is all the maps that we know and love will now be getting a visual upgrade while still retaining all the strategies and lineups that can be done from the old engine. Valve has divided these into three different categories:
i) Touchstone
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b07c1805a0e1ce03b5d8d4a66f3e9e4e8696745c64a5b85a33bf9fd61bab3db3" />
These upgrades are done to classic maps which have solid foundations to show the massive changes between the old engine visuals and the new one. They improved the lighting and character read of the maps without needing to change the original look of the map. 
ii) Upgrades
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/35a5052e299f52040f431edf90717a624880711593e98b577aaffa2368bd0c35" />
These are maps that utilize the new lighting in the latest Source 2 engine which has a physically based rendering system to produce realistic lighting, materials and reflections. 
iii) Overhauls
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/6e3d37d0aaad5a27e6729fddaebfe93bc3871c2fcaa4fe89a1172b5925745792" />
For those who love playing on the classic maps available in previous iterations of the game, they have all been fully rebuilt from the ground up which utilizes the maximum potential of the Source 2 engine. The best part of the update is that if you&rsquo;re a community map builder, it will be available for use as it eases the map-building process and experimenting if the design or lighting applied to it works or flops.
3) Tick Rate
<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GqhhFl5zgA0" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Lastly would be the #1 most debated topic of the CS scene and that is Tick Rate. To sum it up, Tick Rate is a unit of how data is received and sent from the client to the server and back. The old engine had utilized 64 tick which felt mushy and sometimes we see ourselves missing our shots but in Source 2, it will finally be standardized at 128 tick to give the smoothest and most accurate reaction possible.
Much More To Come
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/33dc1f7aab9bfdbf6c214477487df9ad99b944f2da43ae56375f50223a1c9a10" /> Image via <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/GlobalOffensive/comments/11z2cky/csgo_skins_vs_cs2_v20_max_settings_in_4k/">Reddit</a>
If you&rsquo;re worried about your in-game skins (cosmetics), don&rsquo;t worry as they will all be ported over to the new game and they will be looking much better and cleaner.
For now, the game is only available in a limited test phase and only a handful of players have access to it. The only way to play the game is if Valve selects your account to receive the feature based on but not limited to their recent playtime on Valve official servers, trust factor and Steam account standing.
The full range of new features for the game will be announced at the launch in the Summer of 2023.
So far since the announcement last night, it&rsquo;s been the talk of social media and many players are now wanting to return to the game after moving on to the other hit free-to-play FPS shooter, Valorant which was released in 2020.

Gaming: Valve Finally Reveals The Long Overdue Counter-Strike 2 Update

Today marks the 1st day of Ramadan for Muslims worldwide.
A little about Ramadan, the name is the Arabic name for the 9th month in the Islamic calendar and is considered the holiest month for Muslims. During Ramadan, Muslims will be fasting from Subuh prayers (6:09 am) till Maghrib (7:25 pm) and are encouraged to give to charity, strengthen their relationship with God, show kindness and patience, and attend Tarawih prayers.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e554a13d9f16211136a7b5cf936d1e2358c3c8ab7e48db2b323eaf0995305f87" />
Aside from the excitement of the Holy Month of Ramadan, this also means that we are inching close to the Hari Raya Aidilfitri where it&rsquo;s a time for families to reunite and celebrate together with good food.
Lowkey waiting to get my hands on Lemang, Lodeh and Rendang👀
Malaysian Recreates Hari Raya In Sims 4
Now, while we wait for Hari Raya, TikTok user <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@aefleurr">@aefleurr</a> shared the joy and nostalgia of returning back to your hometown for the holidays. She recently started trending on social media as she showcased how a Malay family gets ready for Hari Raya on the popular simulation game, Sims 4.
<video style="width: 586px; height: 293px;" controls="controls" width="586" height="293">
<source src="https://r2.myc.my/c2d3c2465358706886b6907c0d7edcf2e589e6e949a545c7f844ac7524d89e39" /></video> Video via <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@aefleurr">@aefleurr</a>
On her account, she shared a variety of unique scenes of Hari Raya in Malaysia that only ever happens when we head back to our kampungs. Many of the clips shared authentic and rustic scenes from the early hours of the day at the start of Hari Raya to even the reality of the food coma kicking in after having too much food.
Let&rsquo;s check out some of the amazing attention to detail that was seen in the videos.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/68bf156b2cfa1d99c7ddef86a9ce50ab490dc4e4c2dc37444fd37e4989f056e5" />
First off, we have the dishes such as kuih-muih, murtabak, satay, rendang and not to forget the must-have Sunquick orange juice.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/e353a481dae1f271aaaffb2c7638c4cca04d76bb68b0e2b63ecfa23b604df633" />
One of the most impressive things about the Sims game is that it has almost endless customization available to the community. One of the scenes showed a family portrait where they had all rocked the traditional Baju Melayu and Baju Kurung. The most impressive bit here is how detailed the patterns of the samping, songket and tudungs were.
Here are some other clips:

M’sian Accurately Portrays Hari Raya Celebrations Using The Sims 4!

If you're someone who frequents the cinemas to indulge in a larger-than-life movie experience, chances are you're familiar with the name Jeremy Renner. And if not by name, you'll definitely recognize him as his on-screen alter-ego, Hawkeye, from Marvel's Avengers franchise.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/99e1b96aa40d820ead9a90b1da36798e24966a3a2bcba0b6990a5449387b77bf" />
In early January, news broke out that the 52-year-old had been involved in a horrific snow plow accident resulting in over 30 broken bones. Since the incident, the actor has been focusing on his recovery, leaving many fans wondering if he&rsquo;ll ever make a comeback to the big screens again.
Amidst the uncertainty surrounding his future in Hollywood, rumours began to circulate among fans stating that his upcoming projects in Hollywood could potentially mean his last works.
Hinting About Retirement
It was revealed by a close source that Renner allegedly expressed that acting is not his top priority anymore, following the accident. Despite his love for the craft, Hollywood is no longer his main focus, according to the insider.
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2b458cf6a09905d742ba8a13d3be1ded26d617bfeb1a91cffb0ad3695465a0cc" />
After the near-fatal incident, Renner moved from his Lake Tahoe home to Los Angeles to focus on his recovery. Unfortunately, the injuries he sustained have left him unable to walk. But with each passing day, his progress in rehabilitation is steady, and he's determined to walk again, as shared by his mother who frequently visits him and his daughter Ava on weekends.
Despite breaking the 30-plus bones in his body, Renner said that the bones will mend and grow stronger just like the love and bond with family and friends deepen.
Recently, Renner tweeted about the finale of the second season of Mayor of Kingstown, which some fans initially thought was just a mundane post. However, others speculated that it might have hinted at his retirement announcement.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

If the show were to feature a 3rd season, there&rsquo;s still no say if Renner would be fit enough to act and chances are either the show may retire his character or perhaps even replace his character with a new actor.

While the rumours of him leaving Hollywood flood social media, we should forget that Renner will be starring in the upcoming series called &lsquo;Rennervations&rsquo; which is a four-partner show which will be streamed on Disney+.
&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been on this journey for many years, and I started in my community by building vehicles for people in need. But a few years ago, I thought, how can I plus this up and create a bigger impact on a whole community &ndash; and that&rsquo;s what this show does. This is one of my biggest passions and it&rsquo;s a driving force in my recovery, and I can&rsquo;t wait for the world to see it,&rdquo; said Renner.
Renner also confirmed that the series had been shot before the accident and it&rsquo;s one of his projects that helps motivate him to get back to his normal self. The series will be available to watch on Disney+ from 12 April 2023.

Hopefully, the road to recovery for Renner will be smooth and although he says he&rsquo;s done with Hollywood, we can always keep our hopes up of seeing him on the big screens. Maybe we won&rsquo;t see him in blockbuster films such as Avengers again but perhaps a role that&rsquo;s a little bit more &ldquo;chill and relaxed&rdquo; compared to what we usually see.
Do you think this will mark the end of Renner&rsquo;s career cause we don&rsquo;t think so. What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments.

Jeremy Renner’s Future In Hollywood In Doubts After Snow Plow Accident

Being an athlete is hands down one of the most stressful things in the world. From the pressure of constantly wanting to perform at your level best to having the eyes of the country on you when you attend all your tournaments.
It&rsquo;s true, the mental stress can definitely get to you and your performance can never always be at its peak and you&rsquo;ll sometimes need to have some downtime to gather yourself again.
Lately, our national shuttler Lee Zii Jia has made it to the spotlight for both the good and the bad. For the good, he was recently featured on New York City&rsquo;s iconic Time Square Billboard and when we say bad, we only mean that he has an ongoing lawsuit with former coach, Indra Wijaya.

Aside from the lawsuit, Zii Jia has lately been experiencing a lot of negativity in his life and it&rsquo;s mainly due to his performance in tournaments. Ever since he parted ways with Wijaya and quit Badminton Association Malaysia (BAM) to become an independent shuttler, he hasn&rsquo;t been showing the best results out there.

Just about a week ago, he posted on his Instagram story stating &ldquo;I&rsquo;m f***ing done&rdquo; after his early exit from the German Open.

Everyone has their bad days and it&rsquo;s true, sometimes we never know when we can bounce back to the top again. Recently, Zii Jia shared a story on his Instagram thanking Darence Chan for the heartwarming letter admitting all the negativity he&rsquo;s been facing.

Darance who is a YouTuber <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@AllAboutDarence">@AllAboutDarence</a> with about 10K subscribers loves creating badminton-related content and he also frequently hosts watch-along with other badminton fans out there on his channel.
He recently sent a letter to the World No. #4 player oh how he reminisced the semi-finals of the Indonesian Open between World No #1, Viktor Axelsen from Denmark and Zii Jia and says it was an intense match. The match was also one of many matches which made Malaysians, including Darance himself, very proud of Zii Jia&rsquo;s performance, he said in the letter.

Darance explained that he is currently studying in Manchester and dreams of becoming a badminton journalist one day. He shared that the &ldquo;typical Malaysian journalist&rdquo; is very negative and Darance aims to convert the content to show the more positive side of the story which is normally set aside by the media.
Thought He Was Hacked
As Zii Jia posted the story on his Instagram, Darance initially thought that his phone was hacked when he saw the notification of Zii Jia tagging him.

Zii Jia Stays Positive

Despite being defeated during the Semi-Finals by Shi Yuqi at the All-England tournament in Birmingham, he stated that he&rsquo;s in a much better place than he was in the past few months.
&ldquo;Previously, there was a period that was quite stressful for me, and even at one point when I felt that I had fallen out of love with badminton. Whenever I step into the arena or court, I would be frowning and not feeling good with myself. So, I&rsquo;m really happy to regain this love for badminton here,&rdquo; he said.
Head up champ, soon enough you&rsquo;ll get that victory again. Malaysia has got your full support and we can&rsquo;t wait to see you on the top again!
