Apple is Cracking Down on Outdated Apps from App Store!

Quite recently Google has updated their Play Store policy and practices to start removing apps that has been sitting idle without updates. When they say remove though, it will still sit in the database, but will not appear to users while users who are already using the app will still get access to the apps. It is a good way, in our opinions, to clean up their app databases while giving users the flexibility to choose the apps they use on their devices.

It seems like Apple wants to also do the same, except they are making the implementation more immediate in nature. This was not an announcement from Apple really, just a social media posting captured by The Verge mentioning an email received from Apple. The email is for an independent developer for a free game sitting in the Apple App Store. The email pointed out that the app has not been updated for over two years and Apple will remove the app from the App Store if the app is not updated in the next 30 days.

That is not the only developer to receive a warning email from Apple though. From The Verge’s coverage, it seems like there are more than just a few developers that received an email just because they have not updated their app for two years or so. To be fair, there is a good reason why Apple wants to ensure that apps featured on their App Store is up to date. The way Apple has been implementing it though, is a little odd.

Apple and Google, both largest app ecosystem platforms in the world, work very hard to keep their marketplaces as safe as they can be. The update security features all the time, and within their updates, they would require developers to also comply to their newer guidelines set within their updates. Understandably, most of the updates would require developers to patch their apps to match the guidelines set by both Google and Apple, in the name of protecting their users too. In that case it can be understandable for both Google and Apple to start enforcing a stricter “outdated” regulation for their app stores.

This is not technically the first time that Apple removes apps from their App Store. They had a similar exercise back in 2016 where they removed apps that has been sitting without updates for over two years in the App Store giving developers only 30 days to submit an update for the App Store. While the practice seems to have gone on for a while, Apple has made no attempts in reporting or documenting their attempts so far other than the emails sent to developers. There are currently no clear guidelines as well on what Apple considers to be “outdated” in their App Store.

As we mentioned, Google is sort of doing the same thing; they are trying to ensure that their developers keep their apps up to date to meet the security requirements set by Google. Google is giving developers until the end of October 2022 to at least submit an update for their apps. Google will also grant six-month extension requests if developers cannot meet the deadline.

China Matters explores the promise of smart cities in Guiyang


BEIJING, April 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Why smart cities? From all perspectives, it ticks all the boxes: innovation, technology and new economy. On a day-to-day basis, it makes our urban environments more liveable, it saves energy, keeps traffic flowing and keeps us safe. 

In 2020, China was estimated to have some 800 smart cities under construction or in planning – that’s about half of the world’s total. And that number is continually rising.

And key to powering these smart cities is technologies like 5G, artificial intelligence and big data. Guiyang, the capital city of Guizhou province, has been a hotbed for experimenting with digital transformation in the country’s push towards building smart cities, thus a smart society.  Smart cities are an integral part of China’s continued push for urbanization to drive the country’s economic development now and in the years to come.  

More than 5,000 big data companies take residence in Guiyang including Alibaba, Baidu, Apple and Google, to name a few. That’s because, for years, Guizhou has been home to the country’s first national big data experimental zone. And now it has opened the floodgates for a shift from a smart-city concept to a smart-city reality.

China Matters’ Josh Arslan goes to Guiyang to see what ordinary folks can get out of living in a smart city? What benefits it brings? He also meets up with people behind the innovations that power a smart city from facial recognition to a car parking app vital in congested cities to autonomous vehicles, redefining the way we live, work and play.

CASETiFY Celebrates Earth Day 2022


HONG KONG and LOS ANGELES, April  22, 2022 /PRNewswire/  –This Earth Day, global lifestyle brand CASETiFY is highlighting its commitment to invest in our planet with the latest from its global impact report. Among an exciting collection of sustainable products available for a range of device sizes, the brand also unveils its newest initiative calling on the CASETiFY community to #ReCASETiFYYourWorld.

The global lifestyle brand rings in Earth Day with an update on its ongoing sustainability initiative, inviting customers to #ReCASETiFYYourWorld.
The global lifestyle brand rings in Earth Day with an update on its ongoing sustainability initiative, inviting customers to #ReCASETiFYYourWorld.

“We’re excited to share our sustainability progress with the world, but we know there is so much more room for growth,” said Wes Ng, CASETiFY CEO and Co-founder. ” We want to continue moving our industry in the right direction with sustainable innovations that refuse to compromise on quality and self-expression.”

CASETiFY Makes an Impact

CASETiFY is committed to investing in our plant and reducing its carbon footprint wherever possible. To date, the DTC brand has recycled over 160,000 phone cases through its recycling program RECASETiFY, in partnership with TerraCycle and other global partners, diverting over 60,000 lbs of plastic from landfills. Through the program, customers are able to either globally mail-in or bring in their old, retired phone cases to a number of drop-off locations throughout Hong Kong, Japan and Korea.

Furthermore, Earthday.org and CASETiFY together have planted over 165,000 trees directly supporting The Canopy Project, which benefits local communities, increases habitat for species, and combats climate change. CASETiFY officially announced its partnership with Earthday.org in 2020 with a pledge to plant one tree for every compostable phone case and reusable water bottle sold.

Incorporating Sustainable Materials

Last year, CASETiFY moved the needle even further by launching a brand new collection of upcycled phone cases made with revolutionary Re/CASETiFY technology. The Crush Collection, uses proprietary technology turning old, discarded phone cases, manufacturing scraps and plant-based material into brand new phone cases––drastically reducing the carbon manufacturing emissions by 20%. By using retired phone cases, the Crush Collection helps to repurpose existing plastic, reduce use of virgin plastic and further close the loop on single-use plastics. The new material is currently available for select iPhone and Samsung cases as well as newly launched AirPod cases with plans to be integrated in future product launches and lineups.  

In addition to the Crush Collection, CASETiFY offers even more sustainable solutions for every eco-conscious shopper with best-selling Impact and Ultra Impact Cases featuring up to 65% recycled materials, Leather Cases made with 90% recycled material and the Compostable Collection made with ecotify™, a trademarked proprietary blend of biopolymers, starch, and bamboo.

#ReCASETiFYYourWorld

At CASETiFY, it’s in our DNA to create high quality products that empower self expression and celebrate individuality without compromising its impact on the environment. Over the past few years we’ve developed new technologies, such as Re/CASETiFY to manufacture products that help reduce carbon emissions and create better alternatives than the average plastic phone case. This year, CASETiFY is calling on its community to #ReCASETiFYYourWorld through a socially-driven initiative spotlighting ways to re-invent, recycle and upcycle old phone cases. Similar to the brand’s ReCASETiFY Couch, designed by Crosby Studios, participants can submit their own Re/CASETiFY project repurposing old phone cases to create something entirely new to CASETiFY for a chance to win up to $1000.00 USD. You can find more information regarding this initiative at casetify.com/sustainability/fund-your-idea.

[Editorial] Daily Driving the Chromebook Part 1: Introducing the Acer Chromebook Spin 713. Wait, Why Chrome OS?

When you go out to buy a laptop, there is usually two options for you to pick from. You can either go with Windows laptops, which will open yourself up to a world of options. You can also go for the Mac option, which would simplify your options but at a higher cost. There is a third option though – Chrome OS.

At this point, we see many question marks on many people’s heads. “Why a Chrome OS?” you may ask. It is an odd choice in the sea of choices in the market, an unpopular one. But at the same time, we think it could be a sound and sensible one.

While the Chrome OS is regarded as the simplest of operating systems (OS), it is still a valid operating system you can choose when you buy a laptop for work. The education sector loves Chromebooks because they are rather cost effective and simplistic in nature. It is fuss free to work with, a perfect introduction into the world of computing.

Chrome OS is and can be so much more than just a laptop made for the school. It can be a rather simple way for organizations to manage their work devices. It is an inexpensive solution for enterprises looking to equip their employees for their digital transformation. They can be premium machines that fulfill all sorts of needs too, except for gaming.

So, we wondered; what is it like to live with a Chromebook? Is the Chromebook worthy to be a daily driver? Is the Chrome OS even the right platform to begin with when it comes to corporate use?

The Hardware

We are very lucky to get our hands on the Acer Chromebook Spin 713. Thanks to the support of Acer, we did not have to fuss over choosing the right Chromebook to work with. It is also the most premium Chromebook you can find in their line-up of Chromebooks.

The Acer Chromebook Spin 713 is nothing like a budget Chromebook made for the school. It still can take scrapes and bumps with MIL-STD810G certification. It is an MYR 3,799 convertible. It is also a rather powerful Chromebook.

It packs Intel’s 11th Generation Core i5-1135G7 processor, something you generally find on thin-and-light Windows notebooks. It has 8GB of RAM and 256GB in storage. Acer advised us against opening the guts of the notebook to replace or upgrade anything within the Chromebook in fear of bricking the unit, so we will comply with their requests for now.

Chromebook713 5

It is a convertible, so it also comes with a glass protected touch display that measures in at 13.5-inch with 2,256 by 1,504 pixels on tap from the IPS panel. Yes, it is a 3:2 aspect ratio display, quite odd. The dual speakers leave a little more to be desired, but you can plug your headphones in with the AUX jack, or connect your Bluetooth enabled gear to the Chromebook.

Aside from the AUX jack, you have two USB Type-C ports, both Thunderbolt ports thanks to Intel. The Chromebook charges via USB Type-C too. There is another USB port beside a MicroSD card reader, a Type-A for convenience. There is also a full-sized HDMI port for extra versatility.

Our focus isn’t too much on the Acer Chromebook Spin 713 though. This four-part editorial will focus on the Chrome OS. We will be working exclusively on the Chromebook for four continuous weeks. We still go back to our main Windows rigs for video editing. Everything else will be done on the Chromebook and Chrome OS though. In fact, this article is mostly typed and edited on the Chromebook itself.

While we are aware of Google Chrome OS, we are rather new to the interface. We expected some learning curve; there are some, though not as steep as we expected it to be. There are a few major differences in the interface that we will talk about in the coming weeks. Before we get into any of that, we must set up the Chrome OS first.

Its first boot leads us to a very familiar set-up screen. Obviously, you do not get a Windows style or Mac style set-up. It is even simpler than what we expected, to be fair. If you already have a Google Account in the first place, that is really all you need to get going. Within five minutes, we are ready to work with the Chromebook.

3 / 13

We see a familiar desktop home screen, a welcome at least coming from the Windows ecosystem. Except, we were a little disappointed when we found out that we cannot put anything on the home screen. You can only change the wallpaper of your home screen. We sort of expected a more Android like experience, especially with widgets. Sadly, it is what it is.

The icon on the interface is digitally enlarged to fit eh 13.5-inch display by default. The resizing is clearly a nod to optimising the touch interface for users. We changed the icon sizing to smallest the system allows us to, just because.

Touch Optimised, Simple, Clean

Screenshot 2022 04 22 17.32.25

While it is a touch sensitive display, Android gesture controls do not work with Chrome OS, at least not when you are in laptop mode anyway. I must remind myself that I am not using an Android tablet here, just plain ol’ Chrome OS with no overlays. At the same time, you are going to get the same Chrome OS from any Chromebooks you pick up off the shelf. You get different specifications, sure, but they are essentially still the same interface with no extra bloatware.

Apps Matters

Screenshot 2022 04 22 17.35.08

We were excited to look through Google Play Store for app downloads and were not too disappointed with it. Most apps made for the smartphone and tablet works. Some of them even allows you to pick between a smartphone or tablet interface, and even change the window size on the fly. The Chrome OS allows you to fully multitask in differently sized windows with the help of a mouse and keyboard.

Like Android, But Unlike Android

Screenshot 2022 04 22 17.32.43

Very much like Android tablets, not all the apps that is made for the smartphone works or is available to download. Not all the Android apps that is available for the Chrome OS works flawlessly too, sadly.

The Chrome OS is naturally always on standby. That also means that, by default at least, you only need to unfold your Chromebook and Chrome OS is ready for you instantly.

While there is no special arrangement for the keyboard, there are a few subtle differences between the keyboard on a Chromebook and a Windows laptop. For one, there is no Caps Lock key on the Chrome OS. In its place is a large ‘start’ button to launch the ‘shelf’. There are no function row keys (F1-F12) to be found on the Chromebook either, you hardly ever need them anyway.

Chrome on Chrome OS

Screenshot 2022 04 22 17.33.05

Plenty of the apps you may not find on the Google Play Store on the Chromebook can be used on the browser. Obviously, the apps need to have the browser variants of their apps to work. Some of the ‘apps’ on your Chromebook will still lead you to the webpage. Apps like YouTube, for example, can only be used on the web. We will talk about working with Microsoft 365 a bit more in the coming weeks.

This effectively means that two sorts of app store are at your disposal. You have the Google Play Store, which we have already talked about. Then there is the Google Chrome Web Store for you to install plugins on Chrome itself.

More On Part 2

We are also still exploring Chrome OS and still getting to know the system. In the coming parts we will also be talking about updating your Chrome OS and its development support in the future. A lot of things we have covered today are rather on the surface and introductory.

There are still plenty to explore on the Chrome OS. Phone Hub for example, has more to be explored. We have not even started on the stylus experience on the Chromebook.

Getting it up and running was not just simple, it was quick. We did not install everything we wanted nor did a deep search of what we wanted to install on the device, but there is plenty on offer with the device. We think that the plugins on Chrome browser could be a lot of help in making the Chromebook feels like a regular working PC. Gaming is one thing we look forward to talk about in the coming weeks.

Do comment below if there is anything specific that you want to find out about the Chromebook. Of course, comment if there is anything you would like us to do or try on the Chromebook. We will do our best to accommodate and try out everything you recommend and suggest to us.

New Touch ‘n Go Card Will Link to your eWallet with a Touch!

The Touch ‘n Go eWallet has become one of the most ubiquitous eWallets in Malaysia right now. Nearly everyone has the app on their phone and an increasing number of merchants and outlets are accepting the eWallet as a means of payment. That said, even with its increasing number of functions, the eWallet has had a huge handicap when it comes to Touch ‘n Go’s cards. Today’s announcement makes that a thing of the past.

Yeah, you’ve probably already guessed it and let out an elated squeal. Touch N’ Go group has officially announced a new card that links up to the eWallet in every way! You’ll be able to top up and manage your credit on the card directly on the eWallet. No need to go top-up from a Touch N’ Go kiosk and no surcharges! Just take out your smartphone and top up via the eWallet. It can even be used for all existing Touch ‘N Go card functionality.

Touch n Go eWallet Card

The new card comes in a minimalist, pastel pink and pastel blue gradient design and is available for RM10. You can get the new card at one of Touch ‘N Go’s selected retail partners across Malaysia or simply order one on the eWallet. Once you have your new card, you’ll just have to link it to your eWallet via NFC. – Yes, the NFC functionality works on both Android and iOS devices. – You’ll be able to have five Touch ‘n Go cards linked to your eWallet. Linking is as simple as touching the card to your phone’s NFC sensor and it’ll be automatically added to your eWallet.

Touch ‘N Go anticipates that there may be a shortage of the new cards as demand for them is high. This is exacerbated by the global chip shortage. However, you will still be able to register your interest for the card on the Touch ‘n Go eWallet. When you do, you will get a notification when the card is in stock again.

Users can transfer balances from their existing cards into the new card by requesting a refund on the Touch ‘N Go portal and selecting their eWallet as their preferred method.
