EGBA calls on European Commission to combat fraudulent gambling websites

(AsiaGameHub) - The organization alerts that European consumers face an increasing danger from deceptive gambling websites and applications that pose as authorized operators. Belgium – The European Gaming and Betting Association (EGBA) states it has submitted evidence in response to the European Commission’s recent call for input regarding the upcoming EU Action Plan to Combat Online Fraud. Its submission advocated for unified EU measures to address fraudulent gambling sites and apps that take advantage of the good standing of legal operators. The EGBA noted that its submission was backed by documented proof showing how scammers methodically pretend to be licensed gambling operators to trick consumers throughout Europe. The evidence includes instances of fake websites using domain names that copy or closely mirror legitimate operators, illegal gambling apps available on Google Play and the Apple App Store, phishing schemes imitating licensed brands, and social media ads that direct users to real-money apps located outside the EU which are masked as games. “These forms of fraud put players at risk of identity theft, financial harm, and unsafe gambling conditions where proven protections provided by regulated operators—such as self-exclusion—are absent,” the association stated. “EGBA members report that fraudulent domains and apps across Europe often reappear soon after being taken down, leaving consumers continuously exposed even with constant monitoring, takedown requests, and repeated enforcement steps.” The EGBA projects that illegal operators accounted for 27 percent (approximately €18 billion) of the total gross gaming revenue in Europe’s online gambling market in 2025. It notes that some non-EU offshore operators falsely assert they hold EU country-issued gambling licenses, mislead about their regulatory standing, and often hide gambling products as games. Photo: EGBA Dr Ekaterina Hartmann, Director of Legal and Regulatory Affairs at EGBA, said: “The evidence we’ve collected demonstrates how scammers are methodically taking advantage of the trust consumers have in the licensed gambling sector, endangering European consumers and enabling the illegal online gambling market to expand. “From counterfeit websites and deceptive apps to phishing attacks and social media frauds, these threats resurface just as fast as they are removed. Disjointed national strategies for these fraud types are insufficient—we need coordinated EU-wide action to make sure consumers and legal operators don’t end up waging an uphill fight against fraud.” The European Commission’s Action Plan to Combat Online Fraud is scheduled for adoption in the second quarter of 2026. This initiative aims to reduce online fraud across various economic sectors in the EU via enhanced coordination and cross-border collaboration. This article is provided by a third-party.

Saham Broadcom (AVGO): Perjanjian OpenAI, Pesanan AI $100 Bilion — Masa untuk Membeli Kekurangan?

TLDR OpenAI telah bekerjasama dengan Broadcom untuk bersama-sama membangunkan 10 gigawatt pemecut AI tersuai dalam perjanjian pelbagai tahun Hasil semikonduktor AI Broadcom dijangka berganda kepada $8.2B tahun ini, dengan pandangan suku kedua pada ~$10.7B Pengurusan menunjuk kepada pesanan cip AI melebihi $100B untuk Fiskal 2027, disokong oleh kapasiti 9–10 gigawatt Saham itu turun lebih 24% daripada kemuncak Disember 2025, tetapi masih naik lebih 62% dalam tempoh 12 bulan yang lalu Wall Street memegang konsensus "Strong Buy" dengan sasaran harga purata $471.74 — kenaikan kasar 48% daripada paras semasa (SeaPRwire) - Broadcom (AVGO) didagangkan pada $318.87, turun lebih 24% daripada puncak Disember 2025 iaitu $414.61. Broadcom Inc., AVGO Broadcom telah membina dirinya secara senyap menjadi salah satu nama paling penting dalam perlumbaan perkakasan AI — dan Wall Street mula mengambil perhatian sekali lagi. Syarikat itu, yang paling terkenal dengan kerja reka bentuk cip tersuainya bersama syarikat seperti Google dan Microsoft, baru sahaja menambah OpenAI kepada senarai rakan reka bentuknya yang semakin berkembang. Kedua-dua syarikat itu memasuki perjanjian pelbagai tahun untuk bersama-sama membangunkan 10 gigawatt pemecut AI tersuai yang disesuaikan khusus dengan keperluan perisian OpenAI. Itu adalah satu cabaran langsung kepada Nvidia, yang OpenAI sangat bergantung kepadanya untuk pengiraan GPU tujuan umum. Perjanjian OpenAI itu tidak terpencil. Broadcom juga bekerjasama dengan Amazon, Meta, dan Microsoft mengenai silikon tersuai. Dan pada masa yang hampir sama OpenAI menandatangani perjanjiannya, Anthropic mengumumkan ia sedang mengembangkan penggunaan infrastruktur Google Cloud — termasuk kapasiti pengkomputeran 1 gigawatt menggunakan cip TPU Google/Broadcom. Pola itu jelas: pemain AI utama beralih daripada perkakasan Nvidia sedia ada dan ke arah cip yang dibina untuk beban kerja khusus mereka. Broadcom adalah rakan kongsi yang mereka terus hubungi. Perniagaan yang Dibina atas Lebih daripada Satu Pertaruhan Kisah AI Broadcom bukan hanya tentang cip tersuai. Perniagaan rangkaian syarikat itu — suis, pemproses isyarat digital, dan teknologi sambungan — secara senyap menjadi tulang belakang kelompok AI berskala besar. Apabila sistem AI berkembang dalam kerumitan, memindahkan data antara cip dengan cukup pantas menjadi halangannya sendiri. Suis Tomahawk Broadcom dan produk sambungan berkelajuan tinggi semakin dimasukkan ke dalam seni bina teras infrastruktur AI skala keluar. Syarikat itu juga telah menolak tanggapan bahawa sambungan tembaga akan hilang dalam masa terdekat. Pengurusan berhujah tembaga kekal sangat cekap dalam rak sehingga ambang kelajuan tertentu — satu kedudukan yang, jika betul, memberi Broadcom lebih landasan untuk memonetik barisan produk semasanya daripada yang diandaikan oleh beberapa penganalisis. Di sebalik perkakasan, pemerolehan VMware masih menjadi penambat segmen perisian yang menambah hasil berulang dan kestabilan margin — sesuatu yang kebanyakan permainan tulen perkakasan AI tidak boleh tuntut. Nombor yang Sukar Diabaikan Untuk tahun penuh 2025, Broadcom mencatatkan hasil sebanyak $63.8 bilion, meningkat 24% daripada 2024. EPS dicairkan berkembang 40% dalam tempoh yang sama. Margin keuntungan bersih berada pada 36.57%, dengan nisbah hutang kepada ekuiti 0.83. Hasil semikonduktor AI diunjurkan berganda kepada $8.2 bilion pada 2026. Dalam suku terbaharu, hasil AI sudah mencecah $8.4 bilion, dengan pandangan suku seterusnya menunjuk kepada kira-kira $10.7 bilion. Pengurusan juga menandakan pesanan cip AI melebihi $100 bilion yang ditempah untuk Fiskal 2027, disokong oleh kapasiti 9–10 gigawatt merentasi senarai pelanggan yang kini termasuk Google, Meta, Anthropic, TikTok, Fujitsu, dan OpenAI. Menurut TipRanks, 27 daripada 29 penganalisis Wall Street menilai AVGO sebagai Beli. Sasaran harga purata ialah $471.74, membayangkan kenaikan sekitar 47.9% daripada harga semasa $318.81.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Harga BNB (BNB): Memulih dari Sokongan Garis Trend Selepas Permintaan Futures Menaik berita

Harga BNB (BNB): Memulih dari Sokongan Garis Trend Selepas Permintaan Futures Menaik

TLDR BNB melantun dari paras terendah harian $627 kembali ke sekitar $648, disokong oleh sentimen pasaran yang bertambah baik. Minat terbuka (open interest) dalam niaga hadapan BNB meningkat 6.5% kepada $923 juta, dengan nisbah long/short melebihi 2.21 di Binance. BNB kekal di atas garis aliran menaik utama dan didagangkan dalam saluran selari menaik (bullish) pada carta harian. Purata Pergerakan Mudah (SMA) 20-hari telah melintas di atas SMA 50-hari, dan BNB didagangkan 53% di bawah paras tertinggi sepanjang zaman (all-time high). Sasaran harga daripada penganalisis adalah antara $2,000 hingga $5,000, berdasarkan corak kitaran sejarah dan asas on-chain. (SeaPRwire) - BNB melantun dari paras rendah $627 pada hujung minggu dan mendaki kembali ke sekitar $648 pada Isnin, 25 Mac. Pemulihan ini berlaku apabila sentimen pasaran yang lebih luas bertambah baik berikutan tanda-tanda ketegangan antara AS dan Iran yang berkurangan. Harga BNB Harga minyak mentah jatuh di bawah $100 kepada sekitar $87 setong apabila kebimbangan geopolitik pudar. Bitcoin mendaki semula melebihi $71,000 dan Ethereum menghampiri paras $2,200 dalam tempoh yang sama. Pasaran saham Asia, termasuk Nikkei 225 Jepun, Hang Seng, dan Shanghai Composite, juga mencatatkan keuntungan. Data niaga hadapan dari CoinGlass menunjukkan minat terbuka BNB meningkat 6.5% dalam 24 jam kepada $923 juta. Nisbah long/short di Binance berada pada lebih 2.21, bermakna lebih ramai peniaga pada masa ini mengambil posisi untuk kenaikan harga berbanding penurunan. Penunjuk Teknikal Menunjuk ke Arah Lebih Banyak Kenaikan Pada carta harian, BNB didagangkan dalam saluran selari menaik. Ia telah dipegang di atas garis sempadan bawahnya, yang telah bertindak sebagai sokongan dinamik selama beberapa minggu. Sumber: TradingView Purata Pergerakan Mudah (SMA) 20-hari telah melintas di atas SMA 50-hari. Ini dikenali sebagai persilangan menaik (bullish crossover) dan sering dilihat sebagai tanda momentum jangka pendek beralih memihak kepada pembeli. Indeks Kekuatan Relatif (RSI) menghampiri paras neutral, mencadangkan ruang untuk bergerak lebih tinggi. Paras rintangan utama seterusnya untuk diperhatikan ialah $685, paras di mana BNB menghadapi penolakan berulang awal bulan ini. Pecahan bersih di atas paras itu boleh membuka laluan kepada SMA 100-hari berhampiran $750. Sebaliknya, jatuh di bawah $600 akan mempersoalkan persediaan menaik semasa. BNB kini didagangkan 53% di bawah paras tertinggi sepanjang zaman, meninggalkan ruang yang ketara untuk pemulihan jika keadaan pasaran yang lebih luas kekal menyokong. Penganalisis Crypto Patel mengetengahkan kedudukan $BNB 53% di bawah paras tertinggi sepanjang zaman, menunjuk kepada fraktal sejarah, pembakaran token yang konsisten, dan asas yang kukuh sebagai asas untuk sasaran jangka panjang $2,000, $5,000, dan bahkan $10,000, dengan zon akumulasi pilihan antara $300 dan $420. Will $BNB Hit $5,000 In Altseason?#BNB is Trading at $648 right Now, Sitting 53% below its ATH. Study the historical fractals and chart structure. The long-term setup looks massive. Massive adoption. Consistent burns. Strong fundamentals.Every cycle, BNB surprises the… pic.twitter.com/RDvJBjZhPV — Crypto Patel (@CryptoPatel) March 25, 2026 Pembakaran dan Aktiviti Ekosistem Menyokong Permintaan BNB terus mendapat manfaat daripada penggunaan aktif dalam ekosistem Binance. Ia digunakan untuk yuran transaksi, diskaun dagangan, dan perkhidmatan blockchain lain, yang menyokong permintaan asas yang stabil. Bekalan token juga dikurangkan melalui pembakaran token yang tetap. Pembakaran berjadual ini mengurangkan jumlah bekalan yang beredar dari masa ke masa. Penganalisis melihat ini sebagai positif jangka panjang untuk harga, bersama-sama dengan aktiviti on-chain yang semakin berkembang. Zon akumulasi sebelumnya antara $300 dan $420 telah pun dilalui, dan beberapa model berasaskan kitaran kini menunjuk kepada julat $2,000 hingga $5,000 sebagai sasaran potensi. Unjuran ini berdasarkan corak sejarah dan data struktur pasaran. Sehingga 26 Mac, BNB didagangkan berhampiran $648 dengan paras sokongan $600 masih utuh.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Zelenskyy menegaskan bahawa AS memerlukan Malaysia untuk menyatukannya sebagai partianan Rusia walaupun Selangan Amerika Berpusat tidak mampu. kewangan

Zelenskyy menegaskan bahawa AS memerlukan Malaysia untuk menyatukannya sebagai partianan Rusia walaupun Selangan Amerika Berpusat tidak mampu.

(SeaPRwire) - Jaminan keselamatan AS untuk Ukraine dikaitkan dengan Kyiv menyerahkan wilayah Donbas timur kepada Rusia sebagai sebahagian daripada perjanjian damai yang berpotensi, kata Presiden Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy kepada Reuters dalam temu bual yang diterbitkan pada Khamis."Orang Amerika bersedia menyiapkan jaminan ini pada tahap tinggi sebaik sahaja Ukraine bersedia menarik diri dari Donbas," kata Zelenskyy, menjelaskan cadangan yang dia amaran boleh menjejaskan kedua-dua pertahanan Ukraine dan keselamatan Eropah yang lebih luas.Tetapi seorang pegawai AS, bercakap secara latar belakang, memberitahu Digital bahawa dakwaan itu palsu.Komen Zelenskyy menunjukkan tekanan yang semakin meningkat daripada Presiden Donald Trump untuk mencapai akhinya perang dengan cepat, yang kini memasuki tahun keempat selepas serangan Rusia pada 2022.Zelenskyy mencadangkan bahawa pendekatan pentadbiran itu sebahagiannya dipengaruhi oleh krisis global yang bersaing, termasuk konflik berterusan yang melibatkan Iran."Timur Tengah jelas memberi impak kepada Presiden Trump," kata Zelenskyy. "Presiden Trump, malangnya, pada pendapat saya, masih memilih strategi untuk memberi lebih banyak tekanan kepada pihak Ukraine."Bual bicara antara Amerika Syarikat, Rusia dan Ukraine telah berlaku di Abu Dhabi dan Geneva pada 2026, tetapi isu-isu utama masih belum diselesaikan, termasuk bagaimana jaminan keselamatan masa depan Ukraine akan dijamin dan siapa yang akan membiayai pertahanan jangka panjangnya.Zelenskyy memberi amaran bahawa meninggalkan Donbas akan menyerahkan garis pertahanan Ukraine yang kukuh kepada Rusia, melemahkan kedudukan Kyiv dan berpotensi membolehkan agresi masa depan."Saya sangat ingin pihak Amerika memahami bahawa bahagian timur negara kita adalah sebahagian daripada jaminan keselamatan kita," katanya.Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin telah lama menegaskan bahawa kawalan penuh Donbas adalah penting untuk matlamat perang Moscow. Walaupun tentera Rusia telah membuat kemajuan, penganalisis yang dipetik oleh Reuters mengatakan kemajuan telah perlahan, dan meraih wilayah yang tinggal mungkin memerlukan masa dan tenaga kerja yang ketara.Zelenskyy juga memberi amaran bahawa Moscow bertaruh Washington akan hilang minat jika perbincangan terhenti."Rusia mengharapkan bahawa Amerika Syarikat tidak akan mempunyai kekuatan atau kesabaran untuk menamatkan ini," katanya.Walaupun terdapat ketegangan mengenai perbincangan, Zelenskyy mengucapkan terima kasih kepada pentadbiran Trump kerana terus menghantar sistem pertahanan peluru Patriot, yang Ukraine andalkan untuk mengesan peluru balistik Rusia."Penghantaran kepada kita tidak dihentikan. Saya sangat berterima kasih kepada Presiden Trump, dan kepada pasukannya," katanya, sambil menambah bahawa bekalan masih tidak mencukupi.Selari dengan dorongan diplomatik, Zelenskyy memberi isyarat strategi yang lebih luas untuk memperluaskan peranan Ukraine sebagai penyedia keselamatan, terutamanya di Timur Tengah, di mana negara-negara mencari penyelesaian kepada ancaman dron dan peluru berpandu berskala besar."Amerika Syarikat telah menghubungi kita mengenai pangkalan mereka di negara-negara Timur Tengah," tulis Zelenskyy di X pada Khamis, menambah bahawa Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Emirates Arab Bersatu, Bahrain, Jordan dan Kuwait juga telah menghubungi Ukraine.Dia mengatakan pasukan Ukraine sudah berada di lapangan untuk berkongsi pengalaman operasi, terutamanya dalam mengalahkan serangan dron besar-besaran."Tidak mengira berapa banyak Patriots, THAAD, atau sistem pertahanan udara lain di Timur Tengah, itu sahaja tidak mencukupi," tulisnya. "Terdapat peralatan pencegah moden yang direka untuk melawan serangan dron berat."Zelenskyy juga menunjukkan Ukraine sedang meneroka perjanjian perdagangan pertahanan, menawarkan untuk menjual sistem lebihan dan kepakaran sambil mencari akses kepada peluru pertahanan udara yang kini ia tiada."Pembiayaan adalah sumber yang paling terhad hari ini," tulisnya, menyatakan bahawa industri pertahanan Ukraine beroperasi pada kira-kira separuh kapasiti dan memerlukan pembiayaan tambahan untuk mengembangkan pengeluaran dron.Dalam catatan berasingan yang dikaitkan dengan ucapan di perhimpunan Joint Expeditionary Force, Zelenskyy menekankan bahawa pengalaman medan perang Ukraine boleh memainkan peranan yang lebih luas dalam keselamatan Eropah dan global."Kita mempunyai pengalaman ini. … Mari kita satukan semua ini lebih banyak lagi," tulisnya, menyeru kerjasama yang lebih mendalam dengan rakan kongsi Eropah dan memberi amaran bahawa benua itu mesti membina kapasiti sendiri untuk menghasilkan sistem pertahanan udara daripada bergantung kepada pembekal luar.Reuters menyumbang kepada cerita ini.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Pemain California Memenangi $3.665 Juta dalam Mega Millions iGame

Pemain California Memenangi $3.665 Juta dalam Mega Millions

(AsiaGameHub) - Menurut California State Lottery, seorang pemain bertuah telah memenangi $3.665 juta selepas memadankan lima nombor kemenangan 4, 13, 52, 53, dan 69 pada tiket Mega Millions yang dibeli di Chill Out Smoke Shop di Torrance. Pemenang Membawa Pulang Lebih $3.6 Juta Kedai tersebut, terletak di 4437 Sepulveda Blvd., Suite B, di Torrance, menjual tiket kemenangan tersebut, yang mana pemain, yang identitinya masih tidak diketahui, berjaya mendapat lima daripada enam nombor kemenangan. Pemain tersebut hanya terlepas nombor Mega Ball, iaitu 10. Walaupun begitu, memadankan lima nombor lain adalah keberuntungan yang luar biasa, kerana peluang untuk berbuat demikian adalah satu dalam 12,629,232, menurut laman web California Lottery. Pemegang tiket California bukan sahaja pemenang Padanan 5, kerana seorang pemain di New Jersey juga memenangi hadiah dengan memadankan kesemua lima nombor. Walaupun begitu, tiada siapa yang berjaya meneka kesemua enam nombor, jadi jackpot masih belum dimenangi. Tanpa pemenang jackpot dalam undian Mega Millions terkini, hadiah telah meningkat kepada $70 juta. Jackpot Mega Millions sebelumnya dimenangi pada 10 Mac apabila seorang pemain, yang memilih untuk menggunakan nama samaran "Lucky Lady" untuk kekal anonim, memenangi $536 juta yang menakjubkan. Berwaspada dengan Penipuan, Kata California State Lottery Dengan peningkatan nilai hadiah dalam loteri Mega Millions, terdapat peningkatan bilangan penipu yang cuba mengambil kesempatan daripada publisiti yang melingkunginya, kata California State Lottery. Pegawai-pegawai telah menggesa pemain supaya berhati-hati berikutan peningkatan laporan penipuan daripada mangsa dan pihak berkuasa. Menurut pihak berkuasa, penipu semakin kerap menyamar sebagai wakil loteri atau menuntut hubungan dengan pemenang hadiah, dalam usaha untuk mendapatkan wang atau maklumat peribadi yang sensitif. Mereka menekankan bahawa kemenangan loteri yang sah tidak pernah dimulakan melalui panggilan atau mesej teks yang tidak diminta, dan menasihati orang ramai supaya kekal waspada terhadap sebarang komunikasi mencurigakan yang meminta bayaran atau butiran peribadi. Mesej-mesej ini sering menyatakan bahawa hadiah tidak boleh dituntut sehingga cukai, yuran pemprosesan, atau caj lain dibayar, dan mereka biasanya cuba mewujudkan rasa kecemasan untuk menggalakkan tindakan segera. Walau bagaimanapun, California State Lottery menjelaskan bahawa pemenang tidak pernah dimaklumkan secara tiba-tiba. Loteri tidak pernah menghantar e-mel, teks, mesej langsung, atau panggilan telefon yang tidak diminta yang menuntut seseorang telah menang. Tambahan pula, pemenang sebenar juga tidak pernah dikehendaki membayar yuran atau cukai terlebih dahulu untuk menerima hadiah mereka. Undian loteri Mega Millions seterusnya akan diadakan pada Jumaat, 27 Mac. Artikel ini disediakan oleh penyedia kandungan pihak ketiga.

Sharp Develops Long-Range Video Monitoring Technology JCN Newswire

Sharp Develops Long-Range Video Monitoring Technology

TOKYO, Mar 26, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Sharp Corporation has developed long-range video monitoring technology which uses AI to analyze and record video streamed from locations 5 to 10 km away. This technology was developed in collaboration with Harada Laboratory at Kyoto University (hereinafter "Kyoto University"), Watanabe Laboratory at Waseda University (hereinafter "Waseda University"), and Oita Asahi Broadcasting Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "OAB"), as part of the Ultra-Coverage Beyond 5G Wireless and Video Coding through Japan–US–Australia R&D Collaboration project (*1) commissioned by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), Japan.Video analysis of grazing cattle during a field test.The video classifies difference in cattle behavior with green squares (standing) and yellow squares (feeding).Comparing the current footage (left) with the immediately preceding (40 seconds prior) footage (right), environmental changes are displayed at the top of the screen.This technology consists of long-range video transmission technology developed by Kyoto University, which enables the long-range 4K video transmission using a wireless transmission method based on very high frequency waves (VHF band), and Sharp's Dynamic Video Monitoring Technology, which recognizes the behavior of subjects in real-time without pre-training. Compared to conventional technologies, this new technology requires less preparation time for AI video analysis. In the future, this technology is expected to be utilized in a wide range of applications, including hazard detection and remote monitoring of disaster sites and evacuation shelters.To verify the effectiveness of this technology, Sharp conducted field tests in and outside Japan from March 2025 to January 2026 and demonstrated its applicability across various fields. In Japan, tests involving the monitoring of animal behavior at zoos and aquariums, as well as the streaming of live video from ships at sea were carried out. Overseas, a field test to monitor grazing cattle in remote areas has been conducted with Australia's national science agency, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).To further advance the wireless communication and video compression technologies used in the long-range video monitoring technology, Sharp is submitting proposals at international standardization conferences for wireless communication and video compression, aiming for adoption in Beyond 5G, the next-generation communication standard, and Beyond VVC, the next-generation video compression standard, both to be formulated as international standards. Furthermore, Sharp is committed to supporting digital transformation through long-range wireless communication and AI technologies, aiming to apply these solutions not only to animals and ships—as demonstrated in this proof-of-concept—but also to a wide range of fields, including transportation infrastructure and disaster response.1. 4K video transmission over long distances (5 to 10 km) by long-range video transmission technology which utilizes the VHF band2. Dynamic Video Monitoring Technology (an AI technology) identifies subjects without pre-training and records changes in situations and behavior, applicable to various video analysis tasks with a shorter preparation period3. Effectiveness confirmed through field tests in and outside Japan*1 Grant No. 05101■ Key Features1. 4K video transmission over long distances (5 to 10 km) by long-range video transmission technology which utilizes the VHF bandWireless technologies used in mobile phones and other devices create coverage areas by densely deploying base stations at intervals ranging from several hundred meters to several kilometers, and transmit data between communication devices via these base stations. In contrast, the newly developed long-range video transmission technology utilizes VHF band wireless technology (*2) announced by Kyoto University, along with video compression and transmission technology. This enables the direct video data transmission between communication devices located 5 to 10 km (*3) apart, making it possible to transmit 4K video in locations where it is difficult to install base stations, such as remote islands, or within vast areas like ranches. Furthermore, since the new technology supports video transmission specification changes such as resolution and bit rate, the data transmission volume can be adjusted to suit the installation environment and intended use.Transmission range in a field test conducted in January 2026*2 For more information on this technology, please refer to the Kyoto University press release (https://www.dco.cce.i.kyoto-u.ac.jp/ja/PL/PL_2025_06.html) (in Japanese).*3 Transmission range will vary depending on the communication environment and video content.2. Dynamic Video Monitoring Technology (an AI technology) identifies subjects without pre-training and records changes in situations and behavior, applicable to various video analysis tasks with a shorter preparation periodIn video analysis, conventional AI technologies required preparatory work—such as labeling training data with information on the type, behavior, and location of subjects such as animals—as well as pre-training of the AI, which made it time-consuming to start using the system. In contrast, Dynamic Video Monitoring Technology can be activated in a shorter preparation time by applying prompts (instructions for the desired actions) along with preprocessing (*4) and postprocessing (*5) to AI which handles images and languages.*4 The processing of data to enable the AI to reason efficiently.*5 The process of converting data output by the AI into a format that is easy for users to understand and utilize.Furthermore, by combining the Dynamic Prompt Technology (*6) developed in joint with this technology, the AI automatically generates prompts based on the video content. Voice narration and quizzes based on the analysis results can be automatically produced.The AI generates narration (text at the bottom of the screen) based on the video*6 A technology which automatically generates instructions for the AI based on inputted video and context.3.

Israel berkata pemimpin Iran yang mengarahkan penutupan Selat Hormuz terbunuh dalam serangan sasaran

(SeaPRwire) - Panglima Tentera Laut Kor Pengawal Revolusi Islam, Alireza Tangsiri, telah disasarkan dan dibunuh dalam serangan Israel, menurut Menteri Pertahanan Israel, Israel Katz."Malam ini, dalam operasi yang tepat dan mematikan, IDF telah melenyapkan Panglima Tentera Laut IRGC, Tangsiri, bersama-sama anggota kanan komando tentera laut," kata Katz, menurut terjemahan dari bahasa Ibrani. "Orang yang bertanggungjawab secara langsung terhadap tindakan pengganas melombong dan menyekat Selat Hormuz daripada pelayaran telah disasarkan dan dilenyapkan.""Ini adalah mesej yang jelas kepada semua pegawai kanan organisasi pengganas IRGC Iran yang kini memerintah Iran: IDF akan memburu dan melenyapkan anda seorang demi seorang. Saya mengucapkan tahniah kepada IDF atas pelaksanaan yang sempurna," kata Katz. "Ini juga berita penting untuk rakan kongsi Amerika kita, sebagai ungkapan bantuan IDF dalam membuka semula Selat Hormuz dan perkongsian bersejarah antara Presiden AS Donald Trump dan Perdana Menteri Benjamin Netanyahu, dan antara kedua-dua negara dan dua tentera kita."Serangan itu dilaksanakan berdasarkan perisikan Amerika dan Israel, menurut seorang pegawai kanan Israel. "Ketua Tentera Laut Revolusi Iran, Alireza Tangsiri, yang secara langsung memerintahkan penutupan Selat Hormuz — salah satu laluan tenaga paling kritikal di dunia — telah disasarkan dalam serangan semalaman, bersama-sama kepimpinan operasi kanannya, termasuk ketua perisikan dan operasi, di pusat komando tentera laut rahsia," kata pegawai itu. "Serangan bersasar ini berdasarkan perisikan AS dan Israel dan terus menunjukkan betapa dalamnya ia mampu menembusi."Presiden Donald Trump melancarkan perang kontroversi terhadap Iran bersama-sama Israel hampir empat minggu lalu."Perunding Iran sangat berbeza dan 'pelik'. Mereka 'merayu' kita untuk membuat perjanjian, yang sepatutnya mereka lakukan kerana mereka telah musnah secara ketenteraan, tanpa peluang untuk kembali, namun mereka secara terbuka menyatakan bahawa mereka hanya 'melihat cadangan kita'. SALAH!!!" Trump mengisytiharkan dalam catatan Truth Social pada Khamis pagi. "Mereka lebih baik serius tidak lama lagi, sebelum terlambat, kerana apabila itu berlaku, TIADA PUSING BALIK, dan ia tidak akan cantik!" dia memberi amaran.'

Furthermore, by utilizing the core technologies cultivated through their ATM business, Hitachi and Hitachi Channel Solutions have expanded their ATM operations globally and expanded their product and service offerings into new fields outside the financial sector.Amid this period of market transformation, the three companies agreed that combining the strengths of OKI and Hitachi Channel Solutions is essential for our customers and society. We have agreed to establish a joint venture with the aim of fulfilling our social responsibility to ensure the continuous and stable supply of ATMs - which remain a vital social infrastructure - while aiming for a shared strategic goal of growth in the global market. Furthermore, in the future, we aim to link the various data obtained from the products and service layers provided by the Joint Venture Company with Hitachi’s Lumada business. Through AI-driven analysis and utilization, we aim to support our customers - including financial institutions - in transforming their operations and creating new services, thereby jointly creating even greater customer value.About the Joint Venture CompanyThe establishment of the Joint Venture Company aims to respond to changes in the environment surrounding automated equipment, including ATMs, and to achieve sustainable business growth both in Japan and overseas.

SOFTSWISS and Pentasia Address Hiring Mistakes Costing iGaming Top Talent in 2026 iGame

SOFTSWISS and Pentasia Address Hiring Mistakes Costing iGaming Top Talent in 2026

(AsiaGameHub) - The organization conducted its inaugural live panel discussion named Stop Losing Talent: 7 Smart Steps for Hiring in 2026. Press release.- SOFTSWISS held its debut Live Panel event, called Stop Losing Talent: 7 Smart Steps for Hiring in 2026, together with Pentasia. The discussion revealed how obsolete recruitment methods cause organizations to lose premier talent and presented a actionable seven-step approach to tackle this issue. Open conversation about recruitment difficulties SOFTSWISS introduced its Live Panel series on LinkedIn to create a forum for transparent industry dialogue. The inaugural session centered on findings from its 2026 iGaming Talent Trends study, created in collaboration with Pentasia, a prominent igaming recruitment advisory firm. The conversation gathered perspectives from throughout the sector, with the speaker lineup featuring top-level executives: Natalia Perkowska, deputy chief HR officer at SOFTSWISS. Sergey Kastukevich, deputy chief technology officer at SOFTSWISS. Andrew Cook, head of Conexus leadership at The Conexus Group. Alastair Cleland, managing director at Pentasia. Recruitment challenges in 2026: the gap between employer and candidate perspectives Throughout the session, specialists analyzed where the recruitment process is breaking down for both parties. From the employer perspective, pressures are mounting from three areas: Rivalry for experienced professionals is heating up throughout the industry. Prolonged internal approval processes are extending recruitment timelines. Locating applicants who possess both technical skills and regulatory knowledge continues to be an ongoing difficulty. Meanwhile, job seekers face ambiguous position descriptions, minimal communication, and scarce information about their application status, which diminishes their interest from the beginning and influences future loyalty. Natalia Perkowska, deputy chief HR officer at SOFTSWISS, stated: “The disconnect between employer expectations and candidate experience is not a single issue – it is a system-level problem. Gaps at each stage of the hiring process accumulate and shape how candidates perceive the company. When these gaps are not addressed, they directly impact both hiring outcomes and long-term retention, making it harder for businesses to compete for high-quality talent.” The perfect seven-stage framework The discussion traced the complete recruitment path and identified where organizations are forfeiting talent, developing a functional seven-step methodology for 2026. Step 1. Pre-Hiring: Identify the challenge, not just the position Step 2. Sourcing: Consider worldwide options, not just nearby Step 3. Screening: Evaluate for situational fit, not merely abilities Step 4. Decision and Offer: Quickness demonstrates sophistication Step 5. Onboarding: Positive beginnings yield powerful results Step 6. Retention: Continuous learning keeps employees engaged Step 7. Post-Employee Experience: Brand perception continues after departure Alastair Cleland, managing director at Pentasia, noted: “Talent loss does not happen at a single point – it occurs across the entire hiring system. From role definition to onboarding and retention, gaps accumulate and directly impact outcomes. The level of discussion we saw, including a nearly two-hour session, reflects how deeply hiring now affects business outcomes in 2026.” The complete discussion can be accessed on LinkedIn, offering an in-depth review of the seven-step methodology, including recommended practices and pitfalls at each phase as examined by sector specialists.

In addition, due to the decline in sales revenue and gross margin, as well as an increase in loss allowances for trade receivables owing to extended repayment from certain distributors, the profit attributable to owners of the Company decreased by 59% year-on-year to approximately HK$13.7 million, although such decrease in profit was already partly offset by a net gain on compensatory surrender recognised during the year. Earnings per share of the Company was HK0.97 cents per Share.With strengthened marketing effort for dry white in coastal region and the launch of new white wine and sparkling wine products, sales of white wine products served as the Group’s primary revenue contributor. Sales of red and white wines products accounted for approximately 39% and 54% of the revenue respectively for the year (2024: approximately 41% and 56% respectively). The gross margin of red wine products and white wine products in 2025 were 25% and 35% respectively (2024: 36% and 41% respectively).

The Group participated in the 112th China Food & Drinks Fair in March 2025, introducing new products such as Tianyang Tea-flavoured wine series, Dynasty Baifu VSOP brandy, etc., to further improve its product matrix and provide consumers with diverse consumption choices. Breaking through from the constraints of traditional wine, this tea-flavoured wine series, with its core concept of “tea and wine fusion,” has captured market attention with its unique craftsmanship.

Play’n GO Launches Tomb of Gold Reimagined iGame

Play’n GO Launches Tomb of Gold Reimagined

(AsiaGameHub) - Play’n GO has unveiled Tomb of Gold Reimagined, a brand-new title centered on ancient Egyptian themes. Press release.- Play’n GO heads back to the sands of ancient Egypt with Tomb of Gold Reimagined, a refreshed take on a well-known myth where gold, time, and purpose are stitched into every corner of a closely guarded chamber. The tomb does not swing open with a creak. It hums. Light seeps through gaps in the stone that seem to sense they are being disturbed, as though the chamber has been waiting for this very moment. Tomb of Gold Reimagined frames its narrative around a location that is vigilant rather than deserted, ready rather than forgotten. Every symbol feels etched with intent, every glow a sign rather than decorative detail. Set against a backdrop of polished stone, rich jewel tones, and sculpted guardians, the game leans into understatement and immersive atmosphere. Gold is never simply shown outright, it is uncovered gradually, as if the tomb itself is deciding when to reveal its hand. Overhead elements loom like quiet onlookers, reinforcing the sense that progress is paced and earned rather than given away for free. This reimagined title builds on Play’n GO’s long-standing fondness for mythological settings, echoing the studio’s broader Egyptian catalogue without retreading old content. Where other tomb-themed titles rely on flashy spectacle or high stakes peril, Tomb of Gold Reimagined focuses on flow and anticipation, creating a space that feels alive through movement, light, and deliberate timing. Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, said: “For Tomb of Gold Reimagined, we wanted the surrounding environment to feel aware of the player’s presence. This is a tomb that responds, that holds back its contents, and that reveals itself on its own terms. That sense of deliberate design is what gives the game its unique identity.” Visually, the experience is intentional and sculptural. Larger symbols carry tangible weight and authority, while the surrounding details reinforce the idea of a chamber built to impress visitors just as much as it protects its contents. When the scene narrows its focus, the atmosphere grows sharper, drawing attention to every new glimmer as though another piece of the puzzle has slotted perfectly into place. Tomb of Gold Reimagined stands as a poised, confident return to ancient Egyptian themes – one that understands the power of patience, and the value of letting gold take center stage only when the moment is right.
