As we enter into the extended period of the movement control order (MCO), some of us here in Malaysia are starting to experience slower internet speeds. It's not our imagination either, as a recent study suggests that the "internet pressure" in our country has increased for workdays.

Previously, HONOR Malaysia had to postpone their Intelligent Lifestyle event due to the Movement Control Order period. Now, after a week plus, the company have officially announced that the event will be back on 7 April 2020 via livestream.

Now that OPPO has launched the Find X2 series, the company can start looking towards its other series of devices. The latest to hit the rumour mill is the Reno Ace2, the successor to the Reno Ace that was released in October 2019. A leaked render for the device has appeared online, offering fans of the brand a glimpse of what's to come.

Previously, we wrote that the OnePlus 8 series was rumoured to be released on 15 April 2020. The reports were quite close, just as of from a few hours ago, OnePlus have officially announced the date which falls on 14 April 2020 with a super short teaser video on their Twitter page.

When people look back to 2020, many would remember how the world slowed to a crawl. This is true also for cloud-driven platforms, which have started to delay updates or reduce the quality of services to conserve bandwidth. YouTube did this last week when it reduced the default video quality to 480p and now Netflix is following suit.

As we enter the extended Movement Control Order tomorrow, it was inevitable that more movies will also have their release dates shifted to a later date. In this latest news, Sony Pictures is the latest movie studio to announce more movie delays. This includes Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Morbius, the untitled third Spider-Man movie with Marvel and many more.  

Although games like Pokemon Go and Harry Potter: Wizards Unite were designed for people to get out and exercise, this isn't possible when we're all told to stay at home. Niantic had to rethink how its games can work if you're not able to walk long distances and to actual locations. With that line of thought, the company will implement some new measures for those stuck at home.

Today, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) just released an official statement on some new fake news that have been circulating around. In this short announcement, somebody has apparently been forwarding fake news about people being fined for stepping outside of their houses. This is of course, ridiculous to begin with and there's more.

Last week, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Tokyo Olympics committee confirmed that the Tokyo Olympic games would be postponed. A new date for the event has been set for next year, making this the first Olympics that has ever been postponed during peacetime.

The government has announced that Menara City One is to be put under enhanced movement control orders (EMCO) after 17 confirmed COVID-19 cases in the condominium. This is the third EMCO area announcement after 2 Simpang Renggam areas and 7 villages in Hulu Langat were put into EMCO. This is also the first directive that involves a condominium building in Kuala Lumpur.
