Gone are the days when building an app required you to be a coding wizard. Today, with no-code platforms, you can create stunning mobile apps with zero coding experience. Yes, ZERO! Even your grandma can build an app now (probably to remind you to visit her more often). 

Imagine a world where civil servants spend less time drowning in paperwork and more time actually getting things done. Sounds like a fantasy, right? Well, not anymore! Malaysia is rolling out Google Workspace's Gemini AI suite to 445,000 public officers, making it the largest AI adoption in the civil service yet. That's right—AI is officially joining the ranks of government employees (but don't worry, it won't be asking for annual leave). The big announcement came straight from Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo during the launch of AI at Work 2.0, a program designed to bring the magic of generative AI (Gen AI) into government workflows.

Online scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and scammers will go to great lengths to trick unsuspecting victims. Recently, I received a bizarre call from someone claiming to be from Shopee's "HQ." What followed was an obvious scam attempt filled with inconsistencies, aggression, and outright threats. Here's my experience to warn others about such fraudulent tactics.

Ah, 2013 —a time when smartphones were getting smarter, the Harlem Shake was taking over the internet, and I made a questionable life decision: signing up for P1 Wimax as my internet provider.

Apple just went off on the EU's Digital Markets Act after—wait for it—the first-ever porn app landed on iPhones in the region. The app, cheekily named Hot Tub, made a splash thanks to AltStore PAL, a third-party app marketplace that only exists because of EU regulations. Now, thanks to this loophole, iPhone users in the EU can browse and stream adult content from multiple sources, and Apple is not amused. Guess the walled garden just got a little steamy!

Reflecting on my journey with high-performance computing, I fondly recall the robust setup I built in 2013. At its core was the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 processor, a powerhouse of its time. Originally clocked at 2.83 GHz, this CPU was renowned for its overclocking potential, and I couldn't resist pushing its boundaries. By adjusting the front-side bus (FSB) and increasing the Vcore, I achieved a stable overclock at 4.2 GHz. Under load, temperatures reached 80°C, while idling settled around 36°C—figures that were acceptable given the performance gains.

There's something magical about taking a rock classic and giving it a fresh acoustic twist. Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns N' Roses is one of those timeless tracks that every guitarist dreams of playing. While the original is packed with electrifying solos and powerful distortion, I wanted to challenge myself by reimagining it on an acoustic guitar. The result? A stripped-down yet soulful rendition that brings out the raw emotion of the song.

Telekom Malaysia (TM) just announced on its official website that it's shutting down all copper network-based services by February 28, 2025. That means Streamyx and Unifi Lite users will need to switch over to TM's fibre-based Unifi Broadband plans as soon as possible—if they haven't already.

In the world of budget tech, few devices manage to leave a lasting impression, but my Chuwi VI8 Pro was an exception. Back in 2015, when dual-boot tablets were still a novelty, this little device caught my attention for its unbelievable price-to-performance ratio. At just RM 380, it was one of the cheapest Windows and Android tablets on the market. Despite its affordability, it turned out to be one of the most memorable gadgets I've ever owned.

Malaysia is known for its rich and diverse food culture, from Nasi Lemak and Roti Canai to Satay and Char Kuey Teow.

With the increasing diversity of devices used to browse the web, websites must be designed to accommodate varying screen sizes and resolutions. Users access content through desktops, tablets, and smartphones, each offering different display dimensions. Responsive Web Design (RWD) addresses this challenge by ensuring that websites dynamically adjust their layout and content for an optimal viewing experience, regardless of the device.

In today's digital world, website design plays a crucial role in shaping user experience. A well-designed website is not just about aesthetics; it's about creating an intuitive and seamless interaction for visitors. The concept of simple yet elegant design has gained immense popularity because it enhances usability while maintaining a sophisticated look. Businesses, personal brands, and even informational websites benefit from an approach that prioritizes clarity, efficiency, and user engagement.

In today's digital landscape, a website is often the first point of contact between a business and its audience. As technology and user expectations evolve, the need to periodically redesign a website becomes critical. A website redesign is not merely about aesthetics; it's about improving functionality, enhancing user experience, and aligning the website with current business goals. However, a successful redesign requires a structured approach that addresses various elements from strategy to execution.
