(Video) It Was Samsung All Along! Viral KL Billboard Search History 'Leak' Mystery Finally Revealed
Yesterday (Monday, 19th May 2025), Samsung Malaysia claimed on their socials that it was them who were responsible for the so-called glitch. The billboard leak was revealed to be an advertisement for their new Gemini Live AI function, paired with an invitation to join their upcoming event.
The post on their socials read, 'It was us. Always has been. #DoneClaim', paired with a video that showed hints that were just under our noses. Looking closely at the ad, the billboard not only showcased someone's search history but also an error message containing subtle hints leading to Samsung, such as a direct mention of Samsung Malaysia Electronics and a word play on Gemini.
So what was all that for? The ad was a sneaky intro to Samsung's Gemini Live, which feels more like talking to your best friend than an AI model. The AI assistant is ready for download across all devices, but is readily built into the Samsung Galaxy S25 for ease of use for users. Samsung also invites the public to experience Gemini Live at their Samsung AI TalkSpot at The Starhill from 21st – 27th May 2025.

Smarter Parenting: 5 Tech Lifesavers For Busy Parents
Subscribe to our FREE Parenting today can feel like a juggling act. Rushing to complete work, school drop offs and pick-ups, tuition sessions, extracurricular activities, and everyday errands like grocery shopping can quickly leave you feeling overwhelmed and stretched to your limits. Thankfully, technology is stepping up as the modern parent's secret weapon, helping families stay organised, connected and a little less frazzled. Here are five ways tech is making everyday parenting just a bit easier, with practical examples you can start using right away. 1. Instant answers Every parent knows that feeling: your child asks a question about their science homework, and you're standing there throwing out random words to sound smart when in fact you have no idea what you're talking about. Instead of frantically flipping through tons of books or waiting for a reply in the group chat, smart assistants and AI chatbots put a world of information right in your pocket. With Google Assistant, Siri or Alexa, all you need to do is open your mouth and ask about anything from 'What's the capital of Mongolia?' to instructions for 'How do I convert grams to cups?' You will be met with a quick, clear answer. AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Gemini can help break down tricky concepts, brainstorm birthday party ideas or even whip up a bedtime story on the spot. For health worries, WebMD's symptom checker offers guidance so you can decide if it's time to see a doctor. That's not all. If you're stuck on dinner plans, Yummly suggests recipes based on what's already in your fridge. These tools save precious minutes and help you feel more confident in the moment, no matter what curveball parenting throws your way. 2. Quick and easy shopping Running out of essentials used to mean a frantic dash to the store, but now your phone can handle it all. Grocery apps and delivery platforms make it possible to restock the pantry, order a birthday cake or get dinner delivered, often in under an hour. GrabMart and Foodpanda are lifesavers for last-minute groceries or cooked meals in Singapore and Malaysia. They offer a variety of food and grocery options based on your location. All you need to do is order food through the app, make a payment and wait for the food to be delivered to your doorstep while you are free to spend your time on other things. RedMart also specialises in delivering fresh produce and household basics right to your door. For everything else, Lazada, Shopee, and Amazon have you covered, whether it's school supplies or a replacement charger. You can compare prices, read reviews and pay securely, all from your phone. This convenience means fewer errands, less stress and more time spent with your family. 3. Track everyone's whereabouts effortlessly As kids become more independent and family members dash between activities, knowing where everyone is can bring real peace of mind. That's why location sharing apps are now a staple for many families. With location sharing apps like The app also adds driving safety reports and crash detection, while apps like Google Maps and Apple's Find My allow you to share your location with trusted contacts. These tools help families stay connected, make pickups a breeze and reduce the need for constant check-ins. 4. Build your own digital support network No parent should carry it all alone. Today, technology makes it easier than ever to build a supportive community right from your phone. WhatsApp groups are a lifeline for school updates, coordinating playdates and sharing parenting hacks. 5. Automate routines The mental load of parenting is real, but smart home devices and scheduling apps can help lighten it. Automation takes care of the repetitive tasks so you have more headspace for what matters most. Google Home and Amazon Echo let you control lights, appliances and reminders with simple voice commands. You can set routines for bedtime, homework or morning wake-ups, making transitions smoother for everyone. Technology is not about replacing the human touch. It is about giving parents a little breathing room and making life's daily challenges easier to handle. With the right tools, you can spend less time stressing and more time making memories with your loved ones. Share your thoughts with us via TRP's .

One Tech Tip: This summer, don't let your phone overheat
LONDON: The summer holidays are here and many of us will heading off on trips to hot and sunny destinations, and bringing our electronic devices along. But don't forget that phones, tablets and other electronics are vulnerable to extreme heat. Southern European nations like Spain, Italy and Greece have been baking under the sun, while forecasters have consistently issued heat advisories across the United States, particularly in the Southeast. Here's what device makers and experts say on keeping your electronics cool: What heat does to a phone Most electronic devices work best in a specific temperature range. Apple says iPhones and iPads are designed to be used in temperatures between 32-95°F (0-35°C). A device might change its behaviour to deal with extreme temperatures, Apple warns. "Using an iOS or iPadOS device in very hot conditions can permanently shorten battery life.' Your phone might temporarily warm up if you're charging wirelessly, downloading big files, streaming high-quality video or doing anything else that requires lots of power or data. Samsung says that's normal and it won't affect the performance or battery lifespan. What happens if the device gets too hot If your phone gets so hot that it becomes uncomfortable to hold, Samsung recommends that you stop using it. An overheating iPhone will alert users with a warning message that it needs to cool down before it can be used. Android devices will display a similar message, telling user that the screen will dim, apps will be closed and charging will be paused. What not to do There are things you can do to protect your device from high heat. Don't leave it in a car on hot day and don't leave it in direct sunlight for long. Apple also warns against using some features when it's very hot or in direct sunlight for long periods, like GPS navigation when driving, playing a graphics-heavy video game or using the camera. Google, which makes Pixel Android phones, advises users not to use resource-intensive features or apps while charging. Keep your gear cool The best thing you can do in extreme heat is turn off your device completely. "Even background processes can generate heat,' say experts at British electronics chain Curry's. "A full shutdown helps it cool faster.' Remove the case, if your phone or tablet has one, because they can trap heat. Also keep it out of direct sunlight and put it somewhere cool, like an air-conditioned room or in front of a fan. But be careful about putting it in cool places. "Never put your device in the fridge or freezer, as condensation can cause water damage,' Curry's says. – AP

Oracle and Google cloud partnership to offer Gemini AI models
SAN FRANCISCO: Oracle and Alphabet said on Thursday their cloud computing units have struck a deal to offer Google's Gemini artificial intelligence models through Oracle's cloud computing services and business applications. The deal, similar to one that Oracle struck with Elon Musk's xAI in June, will let software developers tap Google's models to generate text, video, images and audio. Businesses that use Oracle's various applications for corporate finances, human resources and supply chain planning will also be able to choose to use Google's models inside those apps. The deal is about distribution. The models themselves will run on Google's servers, but developers using Oracle's cloud will be able to access them through a Google product called Vertex AI, which Oracle will integrate into its offerings. Those Oracle customers will be able to pay for the Google AI technologies using the same system of Oracle cloud credits they use to pay for Oracle services. The two companies did not disclose what, if any, payments will flow between them as part of the deal. For Oracle, the move advances the company's strategy of offering a menu of AI options to its customers rather than trying to push its own technology. For Google, it represents another step in its effort to expand the reach of its cloud offerings and win corporate customers away from rivals such as Microsoft. - Reuters
