He went on to explain that migrating services to the cloud is becoming increasingly popular as it allows for centralized use of IT resources and unified O&M, which can reduce investment costs.

“Big data and AI technologies tailored to specific scenarios will enhance the value of data, bolster service security, and increase efficiency in production management,” said Jacky Wang.

Currently, the solution has been deployed in various service scenarios like intelligent freight train inspection, intelligent scheduling in EMU depots, and smart railway perimeter detection, resulting in substantial benefits. Huawei’s scenario-specific solutions and partners are going global, too. They are continuously addressing the challenges faced by railway customers and generating value for the industry.

Up to now, Huawei has served more than 300 urban rail lines across 70 cities and more than 180,000 km of railways worldwide.

This innovative device promises long-lasting results, allowing men to break free from the tedious routine of daily shaving and embrace a lifestyle of freedom, health, and confidence.

Ulike X: Engineered for Men’s Hair

For men who are fitness enthusiasts, hair can sometimes obscure the definition of smooth, clear muscle contours. The Ulike X is designed with this concern in mind. Removing body hair can enhance the appearance of muscles and improve athletic performance. Cyclists, for instance, can benefit from hair removal to reduce leg friction during long rides, while swimmers may experience reduced water resistance, contributing to better performance. In addition to improving performance, long-lasting hair removal also helps make the wearing of sports gear more comfortable and facilitates post-workout stretching, injury recovery, and rehabilitation treatments.

The Ulike X, utilizing IPL, alleviates common shaving issues like irritation and rapid regrowth, providing a comfortable alternative to costly laser treatments. IPL technology is a clinically approved hair removal method that uses a light spectrum to target melanin in hair follicles, effectively reducing hair growth. This non-invasive technique is gentle on the skin, making it suitable for various body areas, including the face, chest, abdomen, and back.

With over a decade of research and innovation in IPL hair removal, Ulike’s engineers and leading dermatology research groups have consistently developed breakthrough solutions that deliver effective, safe, and convenient technology for healthy, hair-free skin. Professor M.R. Hamblin (Ph.D.) of Harvard Medical School, also Chief Scientific Advisor of Ulike Group, said, “I am to merge the most important findings in photomedicine research with Ulike’s robust research and development capabilities to attain industry breakthroughs with advanced beauty products.”

Specifically designed for managing coarse and thick hair, the Ulike X utilizes Dual Lights and Multi-Pulse Technology to achieve superior hair reduction results. With three customizable modes, it adapts to different skin types and body areas, enabling up to 94.42% hair reduction in just two weeks. This precision allows men to enjoy smooth skin without the hassle of razors, wax strips, or frequent salon visits.

Equipped with self-developed Ice Cooling Technology, the Ulike X maintains a cool 61.4°F, preventing burns and skin irritation for a more comfortable experience. The SkinSensor technology further enhances safety by detecting skin tones, adjusting power settings, and stopping flashes if an area is too dark for safe application. Additionally, a built-in 1mm UV filter protects the skin from harmful ultraviolet light, ensuring a healthy, hair-free experience without the risk of damage.

Ulike IPL devices are designed to offer professional-grade precision and safety in a compact, easy-to-use format. The Ulike X allows men to achieve smooth, hair-free skin in the comfort and privacy of their own homes, without the need for regular clinic visits. It provides long-lasting results that make everyday grooming more efficient and hassle-free.

Spotify Offline Backups: Your Music, Always Available Even Offline

Leave a comment

Say goodbye to the days of meticulously crafting offline playlists in anticipation of limited internet access. Offline Backups streamline the process by automatically populating a playlist with your most recently played tracks. This eliminates the need for manual selection and ensures you have a readily available selection of familiar favourites, even when data is unavailable.

How Does it Work?

In the background, Spotify tracks your listening habits. Whenever you’re online and have streamed at least five songs, the app automatically generates your personalized “Offline Backup” playlist. This playlist is then accessible for offline playback, providing a seamless listening experience regardless of your internet connection.

Spotify Offline Backup
Source: Spotify

In addition to the obvious convenience it offers, the new feature will allow Spotify Premium users to access their playlists and most frequently listened-to songs without the need to manually download and organise their music. It could also potentially resurface songs long forgotten as well. However, the feature will need space to do this, so you might see storage usage of the Spotify app increase significantly.

Offline Backups will undoubtedly be a boon for Spotify users who are frequently travelling or commuting in areas with unreliable internet or those who want to avoid data charges associated with music streaming.

Offline Backups vs. Downloaded Playlists

While both Offline Backups and downloaded playlists cater to offline listening, they serve different purposes. Here’s a quick breakdown:

Microsoft Office 2024 Arrives in Malaysia: Own Your Productivity Tools

Leave a comment

Great news for Malaysian users who prefer a one-time purchase for their productivity needs! Microsoft Office 2024 is now available, offering classic desktop versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote for both Windows and macOS. This article dives into its availability, pricing, and what it means for you.

MS Office 2024

Unlike Microsoft 365, a subscription service, Office 2024 provides a one-time purchase option. This means you pay upfront and own the software license permanently, allowing you to use it on one PC or Mac for non-commercial purposes. This is ideal for users who prefer a more traditional ownership model and don’t need the cloud storage and other features offered by Microsoft 365.

What’s Included in Office 2024?

This version of Office comes with the core applications you’ve come to rely on:

  • Word: Create professional documents, letters, and reports with familiar features like formatting tools, styles, and collaboration options.
  • Excel: Analyze data, create spreadsheets, and build complex formulas to manage your finances or any data-driven project.
  • PowerPoint: Design compelling presentations with customizable templates, animations, and transitions to engage your audience.
  • OneNote: Take notes, organize your ideas, and collaborate with others in a digital notebook environment.

Pricing and Availability in Malaysia

Microsoft Office Home 2024 is readily available for purchase in Malaysia through the Microsoft Store and authorized retailers. The one-time purchase price is RM609 (including taxes). This provides you with the aforementioned applications for a single PC or Mac.

Here’s a quick breakdown compared to Microsoft 365:

FeatureOffice 2024Microsoft 365 (Personal)
Purchase ModelOne-time purchaseSubscription (monthly/yearly)
ApplicationsWord, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNoteWord, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Publisher (PC only), Access (PC only), 1 TB OneDrive storage, 60 Skype minutes per month
Price (RM)RM609Starts from RM39 per month

Is Office 2024 Right for You?

If you’re a student, home user, or small business owner who needs core productivity applications for everyday tasks and prefers a one-time purchase, Office 2024 could be a perfect fit. However, if you require cloud storage, access to additional applications like Publisher and Access (PC only), or the convenience of automatic updates, Microsoft 365 might be a better choice.

So, will you be opting for the ownership model of Office 2024, or is Microsoft 365’s subscription model more your style? Let us know in the comments below!
