The steps are very simple. You just have to use the PayDirect feature during your daily traveling. Touch n’ Go company introduces the PayDirect feature to prepare all its users towards RFID. From the Touch n’ Go app, you have to link your physical card and you need to top up money into your eWallet. Then each time you cross a toll gate, the toll fare will be deducted from your eWallet instead from your physical card. If your eWallet balance is RM0, then the toll fare will be deducted from the physical card.

The chances of you winning will be high if the entries are higher. This means each time you use the PayDirect feature you will get one entry. The company will be picking its winners through a random draw. For the first time user, you will get 10 additional entries when you add your physical Touch n’ Go card to the app.

For the prize-wise, Touch n’ Go company is giving away 100 weekly prizes each week. There is a probability of 1 out of 4 times winning the weekly prize. Touch n’ Go will be selecting only 10 winners for the grand prize. If you are lucky, you will win a year of free toll from Touch n’ Go.

How it works ism TNB utilises its existing electric poles to provide high-speed connectivity at different areas in Jasin, Melaka.

iOS 13 beta fixes FaceTime eye contact problem
Reading Time: 2 minutes read

Back in May, Apple launches iOS 13 beta to the developers. This new iOS 13 brings Dark Mode and other features too. Today, Apple is rolling out the third developer beta version to the Apple developers. This rounds, Apple brings FaceTime eye correction feature which Apple calls it as “FaceTime Attention Correction”.

Twitter user Mike Rundle is the first person who spotted this feature. What this feature does is, it makes your eyes like staring directly at your front-facing camera during FaceTime video calls. At this moment, this feature is only available for the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max only. Other iPhones might have to wait longer to have this feature.

How does FaceTime Attention Correction work?

Whenever you FaceTime with your friends and family members, we are sure most of you always look at the screen rather than the camera. This gives an impression to the other caller is looking down rather than having eye to eye contact.

Image from TheVerge

Apple achieves this feature by using its ARKit software. The software recognises a person’s face and then adjusts the position of the person’s eyes to make it look like the person is looking at the front camera. You can take a look at the demo below.

In conclusion, this feature is still in the developer beta only. We are still not sure this feature will be rolling out to the public beta. Apple might remove this feature during the final release of the iOS 13. We will keep you updated during the final release of the iOS 13 which could probably happen on September.

Facebook service outage reveals how AI tags photos
Reading Time: 2 minutes read

A few hours ago, Facebook faces service outage worldwide. However, this round the outage was not directly on its complete service, but it affects the photos in the Facebook company applications such as Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The user was able to view the post but not photos. Even in WhatsApp user were able to send messages but not able to view photos. TheVerge calls this as Facebook Image Outage.

Many of you might have noticed all your images on Facebook vanishes in the air. Despite that, you could see some text on the image box rather than the whole image. During the downtime of Facebook, we have finally know how Facebook tags your photos using its artificial intelligence (AI).

You can view the tags the AI assigns to your photos by browsing through your uploaded photos tab. As shown in the image below, you should see a text says “image may contain: sky, outdoor”. Basically, Facebook uses its AI to identify the type of an image by using its own deep learning algorithm. This is how sometimes when you browse through your news feed, you probably could have seen a blurred image saying “Image contains sensitive content”. This is because Facebook has its own category of tagging photos.

Other than Facebook, even in Instagram also images are shown as text. It even says who is in the photo based on the Facebook facial recognition algorithm. Isn’t it scary?. One of the main reason Facebook is using deep learning to categories photos to help the people who visually impaired to describe the photos. This has been started since April 2016 itself.

In conclusion, AI is everywhere now. You can’t escape from AI. This technology has revolutionized the world of machine vision. But you have to understand one thing from yesterday’s service outage. None of your pieces of information are safe. Everything is vulnerable.
