A year on from the ousting of Assad

Image
  Damascus, Syria — “Hold your head high, you’re a free Syrian.” The refrain of this Arabic song—now widely embraced as the unofficial anthem of a new Syria—echoes throughout Damascus. It blares from market loudspeakers, rings out during celebrations in the central square, and is even sung by the man offering traditional coffee to new arrivals at the airport. For decades, many Syrians lived with lowered gazes under the authoritarian rule of the Al-Assad family. The regime maintained an expansive surveillance system in which the feared Mukhabarat , the intelligence network, kept the population in check. Remaining silent was often the safest choice—until the Arab Spring ignited an uprising, and Assad’s fierce response plunged the nation into a ten-year civil war. Today, Syrians are openly and energetically marking the first anniversary of what they regard as their liberation from Assad’s government. The celebration follows a rapid rebel offensive on December 8 last year, led by fo...

The Xiaomi 16 series leak reveals that the secondary display will be returning.

 The Xiaomi 16 series is rumored to debut in China next month. While the company has yet to confirm any official details, a new leak hints at the return of a feature last seen on the Xiaomi 11 Ultra.

Leaked images, allegedly of the Xiaomi 16 Pro Max, reveal a redesigned rear camera module that appears to house a secondary display. The images, shared by tipster Ishan Agarwal, suggest Xiaomi may be reviving one of its most distinctive design elements.

The leaked images show a prominent horizontal camera module on the back of the alleged Xiaomi 16 Pro model.  The module features two vertically aligned sensors on the left and appears to house a secondary display that reminds us of the Xiaomi 11 Ultra.

Below the module sits a third camera alongside an LED flash.  Notably, the overall design also resembles the rumored camera layout of the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro series.
 Additionally, it's possible that the Xiaomi 16 simply adopts the iPhone 17 Pro's rumored design and does not actually have a secondary display. For now, we’ll have to wait until Xiaomi begins its official teasers or makes the formal announcement.

Japan tells residents to evacuate as powerful earthquake strikes north-east

Image
  Here is a fully rewritten (spun) version of your article while keeping the original meaning intact and avoiding added facts: A powerful 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck north-eastern Japan, triggering evacuation orders for roughly 90,000 people and prompting tsunami warnings that were later reduced to lower-level advisories. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) initially warned that waves up to 3 metres (10ft) could reach the region’s coastline after the quake hit offshore at 11:15pm (2:15pm GMT) . Tsunami warnings were put in place for Hokkaido, Aomori, and Iwate , and waves measuring 20–70cm (7–27in) were recorded at several ports, according to the JMA. By early Tuesday morning, however, the agency downgraded those warnings to advisories , indicating that expected wave heights had decreased and the risk of coastal flooding had diminished. Here is a fully rewritten (spun) version of your text, keeping all the original facts but expressing them in new wording and st...

User Receives MSI RTX 5090 With GPU And VRAM Chips Torn Off PCB

Image
It would appear that the GPU was shipped to one of these Chinese labs, where the GPU and VRAM chips from the RTX 5090s are removed. Redditor Orders MSI RTX 5090 Ventus 3X From Amazon but Finds No Tamper Seal; Further Investigation Revealed Ripped GPU Chip and VRAM From the PCB  Fake GeForce RTX 5090 GPUs are flooding the market once more. Since we have witnessed and reported fraud of this kind on multiple occasions, it shouldn't come as a surprise that this one resembles something we have recently reported. The GeForce RTX 5090 is highly sought after, particularly in the AI market in China. The GPU can only enter the country through smuggling because the country has an official ban on it. Since his GPU did not include the components, which are typically extracted from the PCB in China, this Redditor appears to have been the victim of such fraud. Reddit user u/Nice-Screen-4193 says that he bought a brand new GPU from Amazon FR, "sold and shipped by Amazon", not just by any...
