WhatsApp has reached a major user milestone in the EU, potentially placing it under stricter regulations under the European Union's Digital Services Act (DSA).According to a recent Meta filing on February 14, WhatsApp's open channels—which function similarly to social networks by allowing public figures and news outlets to share updates—averaged 46.8 million monthly active users in the second half of 2024.

If you thought Johnny B. Goode was wild, wait until you see my version—Johnny Moo Moo! That's right, in a moment of pure creative (or chaotic) inspiration, I went full cow mode and edited my face into a moo-ing masterpiece. Imagine Chuck Berry's iconic rock 'n' roll hit, but with a guitarist who suddenly transforms into a rock 'n' roll bovine legend. Let's be honest—this song is already legendary. But what if it had more moo-mentum? What if instead of "Go Johnny Go Go Go!" the song subtly encouraged cows to embrace their inner rock star? That's what this cover is all about.

Last week, I decided to streamline my daily routine by reducing the number of keys I carry. After some research, I purchased the eLinkSmart Fingerprint Padlock, intrigued by its promise of keyless convenience and advanced security features.

For years, I had been collecting random coins, not really thinking about their actual value. They sat there in jars, cups, and even some old containers, just waiting for... well, I don't know what.

In 2020, I decided to upgrade my gaming setup with the Aula F2058 mechanical keyboard.

The blue LED backlighting, with multiple brightness levels and lighting effects, added a visually appealing touch to my gaming environment.

If there's one piece of gaming gear that has stood the test of time in my setup, it's my Scorpion M315 wired mouse. It has been with me for over 10 years, enduring the relentless abuse of countless gaming marathons, yet it still works as smoothly as the day I bought it. When I purchased it for RM 60, I never imagined it would last this long, especially given the amount of punishment I've put it through.
