It will be in just months IMO, since free trial will be rolling out in PC fair. Somewhere around August or September I would say, but not sure about the coverage at that time.

That's strange, as I do have accessed to the advertising campaign for one of the companies doing WiMAX and so far, they say it isn't ready. We'll see how it is.

Oooo, which company is that?

I was approached by some promoters today at mamak and they were looking for people to sign-up for WiMAX. Looks like their working all around the clock. Anyone gotten approached for WiMAX yet?

Which of the four companies is that? Nevermind that actually, since I'm not getting one of those when it's first launched. Will wait for reviews and feedbacks from early users first.

802.11y is said to have an outdoor coverage radius of ~5km. However, 802.11n has an OCR of ~0.25km (despite offering a higher maximum data throughput). Read more about it here. I'm not sure about WiMax and the speeds it can offer so I can only recommend going with WiFi.

I'm not at liberty to say :p . At the moment, we have other issues to deal with, namely the MTV Asia Awards.

Looks like they must speed things up, MCMC wants them to roll out by next month, or a penalty will be imposed. Read here.

Damn it, that means more late night deadlines and "circus time" with the clients for me :pinch: .

Finally there's a report from a trial user:

I'd be more convinced if it's using Speedtest.net. It's meaningless if it is testing speed within the country itself other than countries more websites are hosted. Looks quite promising however, the only thing I'm worrying is if this will maintain when WiMAX is officially launched and more and more users will use it for P2P.

Don't worry to much, the government is well known for its "no action, talk only" :laugh:

You have no idea of how the advertising industries work in Malaysia. The government are the best clients of all, as you rarely get too many jobs at the same time :laugh: ! On the other hand, private clients are a bane here. Some of those that we get have no sense at all when asking for what the want in terms of their product. A member of my family, who works for another advertising company, has Bank Islam as their clients and they force you to work on their product, even on public holidays and with unrealistic deadlines!

Seems pretty good the speed. But its same everywhere right, when more users are on it, it will slow down?

If at that time there are many towers, then if one tower is full, users can be directed to another tower, which if they do that will lessen slowing down of speed.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By ad47uk · Posted

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.

      They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
