Changing the default Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) port on Windows is a critical step in enhancing the security of your system. By default, RDP listens on port 3389, which is widely known and targeted by malicious actors. Automated bots and hackers continuously scan networks for open default ports like this, looking for vulnerable systems to exploit. Altering the default port creates an additional layer of security, making it significantly harder for attackers to locate and target your RDP service.

JPMorgan has cautioned that Malaysian stocks linked to the data center investment theme may face additional downside risks, prompting downgrades for Sunway Construction Group Bhd and Gamuda Bhd. The firm noted that while construction stocks have seen declines, their premium valuations have not fully adjusted. Furthermore, JPMorgan estimates that tightened US chip export restrictions could potentially impact up to two-thirds of Malaysia's planned four-gigawatt data center capacity.

The social media platform TikTok, owned by China's ByteDance, is set to be banned in the United States this Sunday unless a deal is reached to sell it to a U.S.-based investor or the U.S. Supreme Court steps in. This ban stems from a law signed by President Joe Biden in April and marks the first instance of the U.S. attempting to block access to an app with such a massive user base—approximately 170 million users nationwide.

Windows 10 and 11 optimize the startup sequence to ensure a balance between performance and usability, leveraging a combination of software and hardware advancements. Both operating systems use a prioritized approach to load essential system processes, services, and user applications efficiently. They utilize the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) for faster initialization of hardware components, while Fast Startup, a hybrid of shutdown and hibernation, allows quicker boot times by saving a system state to disk. Additionally, Windows employs a feature called Startup Impact Assessment, which categorizes applications into "High," "Medium," or "Low" impact to delay non-critical processes until after the desktop is usable. Tools like Task Manager and Startup Settings let users control which programs launch at boot, helping to streamline performance further. These mechanisms collectively ensure that the system is ready for use quickly while preserving user control over startup priorities.

The classic DOS game Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame is a cherished masterpiece that left an indelible mark on the gaming world. Its gripping narrative, fluid animations, and challenging puzzles captivated players in the '90s. The story of the Prince, betrayed and seeking to reclaim his throne and identity, is rich with intrigue and adventure. Now, this legendary game has been reimagined as a web-based experience, leveraging modern technologies to support desktop, tablet, and mobile devices, all while retaining its timeless appeal.

Despite significant advancements in the speed and capacity of modern computers over the past 20 years, there is often still a noticeable delay between importing data and being able to act on the processed and queried results. For instance, it's not uncommon for batch processes querying large datasets to be queued, sometimes running overnight in extreme cases. While such delays may not be a major issue in scenarios like business intelligence gathering, in many other contexts, the time lag between data entering a database and initiating action based on its processing can be crucial.

What happens when we don't understand data? A lot can go wrong! Today, data drives business decisions far more than intuition. However, the volume of data businesses handle is staggering. Each customer interaction generates fresh data to interpret, and larger organizations face an even greater challenge in storing and analyzing it all. It's no surprise that numerous platforms and services now exist to help businesses manage their data effectively. Failing to interpret or manage data properly can result in wasted resources and missed opportunities.

The way we work has undergone a massive transformation in recent years. From hybrid setups to flexible hours, our daily routines have shifted dramatically.

On January 15, 2025, Microsoft introduced a new chat service that enables businesses to deploy AI agents for routine tasks on a pay-as-you-go basis, aiming to boost technology adoption. The free offering, called Copilot Chat, is powered by OpenAI's GPT-4. It allows users to create AI agents using natural languages like English and Mandarin for tasks such as conducting market research, drafting strategy documents, and preparing for meetings.

Fire safety has long been a fundamental aspect of construction and development, essential for protecting both lives and property. Historically, fire detection and risk assessment have depended on manual inspections and paper-based record-keeping, making the process labor-intensive and susceptible to human error. These challenges have created obstacles for developers and building managers aiming to maintain compliance with safety regulations while navigating the intricacies of modern building systems and critical operations.

Today marks the beginning of an exciting project: developing a WebTV platform for streaming popular Malaysian television channels.

Recently, I came across Webflow, a website CMS that requires no programming knowledge, allowing users to leverage their design skills instead. During my exploration, I discovered a Singaporean design agency (I won't disclose the company's name) that charges high prices for their services. Surprisingly, their work appears to lack the expected quality, showcasing simplistic designs and a subpar level of creativity, all without the need for any programming expertise.

Advancements in technology have empowered developers to create sophisticated and accessible digital applications. Yet, many digital experiences still fail to prioritize the user, resulting in clunky, inefficient interfaces that fall short of the seamless interactions people expect from brands and services. Consequently, CIOs are under growing pressure to enhance application accessibility and meet rising user expectations. Human-centric application development focuses on creating apps and websites that are intuitive and user-friendly for a wide range of individuals. This approach takes into account users' unique needs, including abilities, demographics, personality traits, as well as language and cultural diversity. Key features often include options like dark mode for mobile devices, text resizing, zoom functionality, voice dictation, and voice search. For a product to be truly human-centric, it must be trustworthy, intuitive, inclusive, accessible to all, and deliver robust functionality. Tech leaders face additional challenges as the EU and US prepare to implement best-practice legislation mandating equal and inclusive access to digital services. Forward-thinking organizations are already adopting practices to ensure their applications and websites are easily navigable by diverse user groups. For others, remaining passive is no longer a viable strategy.

Creating native Windows applications tailored to specific requirements can significantly improve user experiences and productivity.
