Less than a day after going offline, TikTok announced it is back online following assurances from President-elect Donald Trump to the company's service providers—likely Apple, Google, and Oracle—that his administration would not enforce a previously proposed ban on the app. "TikTok is currently in the process of restoring services in collaboration with our providers," the company stated. "We appreciate President Trump for offering the necessary clarity and assurance, ensuring our providers won't face penalties for delivering TikTok to over 170 million Americans and supporting more than 7 million small businesses. This marks a significant step in defending the First Amendment and opposing unwarranted censorship. We look forward to working with President Trump on a long-term strategy to keep TikTok operational in the U.S."

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has urged Malaysians living abroad not to underestimate the technological progress, expertise, and talent present in their home country. He highlighted that Malaysia continues to earn global recognition for its technological capabilities, with many international investors choosing to reinvest after years of successful business operations in the country. Anwar cited Infineon Technologies AG, Germany's leading semiconductor manufacturer, as an example. The company recently invested an additional six billion euros, acknowledging Malaysia's expertise, technology, and talent as being on par with Germany. He made these remarks in response to a question during a gathering with over 700 members of the Malaysian diaspora on Friday.
I upgraded to the Deepcool LT520 in January 2024, replacing my old XPSC Raystorm cooler, which had served me well for several years. Unfortunately, the pump on the Raystorm had gone faulty, and after considering the costs and effort involved in replacing it, I realized it wasn't worth the hassle. Instead of dealing with the complexities of a custom loop again, I decided to switch to an AIO cooler for a more straightforward, low-maintenance solution. The LT520 stood out as an excellent choice due to its balance of performance, aesthetics, and ease of installation, making the transition from my custom water-cooling setup much smoother than expected.
