China’s Gen Z investors are turning fund managers into social media stars

On a fan community page on Chinese social media platform Weibo, hundreds of users have posted comments and pictures, some covered in little red hearts, to express their admiration for a star they affectionately call Kun Kun. “Kun Kun flies bravely, iKun will always follow him; Kun Kun never gets old, and will remain a blue-chip till the end,” some users wrote alongside the picture. “Kun Kun,” whose full name is Zhang Kun, is neither a pop star nor actor. Instead, he is one of China’s most prominent fund managers who oversees around 120 billion yuan ($18.6 billion) in assets at E Fund Management, an established Chinese asset management firm. Zhang’s followers, who label themselves “iKun,” (“i” is a homophone for the Chinese word love), have also created accounts on Weibo posing as his “global fan clubs.” “Kun Kun, I would like to accompany you for many, many years,” a follower wrote. “Let’s witness both the bull and bear markets, but still return with young hearts.”

Funtouch OS 10 to Bring Earthquake Warning Feature, Vivo Executive Teases

Funtouch OS 10 to Bring Earthquake Warning Feature, Vivo Executive Teases

Funtouch OS 10 is said to start rolling out from February 2020 in China

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Funtouch OS 10 to show time of two cities simultaneously in a new feature
  • The new software brings minimalistic design, new live wallpapers
  • Earthquake warning feature will allow users to take preventive measures

Vivo detailed its Funtouch OS 10 at the Vivo X30 launch event earlier this month, and the new software is set to bring live wallpapers, animated lock screen, minimal UI, and much more. A new post by Vivo's Project Manager for Funtouch OS Xiao Zhuge has now revealed that the upcoming version of the company's user-experience will bring a new earthquake warning feature as well as a new time and weather display function that will display the time and weather of two areas at once. Funtouch OS is said to start rolling out from February 2020.

Zhuge has shared screenshots of two big features coming to Funtouch OS 10. The first one is an earthquake warning feature that will alert users in case of an incoming natural calamity at an early stage. This feature should help them get to safety and take necessary precaution before any damage happens. Zhuge says that the feature will be tested internally first for a week or two before it is released for the public. The second screenshot shows the dual time display feature that enables the user to see the time and weather forecast of two regions on the display, simultaneously. This could be very useful while travelling, wherein the user can be aware of the time back home, and the time in the country he/ she is currently visiting.

Funtouch OS 10 brings a slew of other features like redesigned built-in apps, performance improvements, quick sharing features, new system dynamics, and a minimalistic design. The new software also brings the ability to allow users to save articles and videos on the side of the screen for later. As mentioned, new live wallpapers and an animated lock screen have also been added.

While the China Funtouch OS 10 roadmap is already known, with the rollout beginning from February 2020 in three batches, the rollout of the software in other markets is a mystery at the moment.

Watch a pair of iPhone back panels be removed using lasers because why not?

Source: EverythingApplePro What you need to know Replacing iPhone rear panels isn't easy. It can be made easier with a $2,000 laser machine. It's fun to watch, too. Replacing the rear panel on modern iPhones isn't as easy as it used to be. They're basically glued into place, and getting them off is difficult. But using a laser to burn away that glue makes the whole thing less troublesome. And watching it happen is pretty entertaining, too. You can see the whole process thanks to YouTuber EverythingApplePro, and it's way more fun than it ought to be. The laser apparently costs around $2,000 to buy, but if you're running a phone repair shop that's probably a very sound investment. Especially considering Apple charges up to $600 to replace a broken iPhone 11 Pro panel. As the video shows, the laser does most of the work by softening and removing the adhesive that holds the back panel on. But then it's down to the repair person to complete the job with a lit
