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.” ...

Is Lenovo Working on a Legion Branded Gaming Smartphone?

Is Lenovo Working on a Legion Branded Gaming Smartphone?
Lenovo might make use of the same branding as its core PC gaming division, which kind of makes sense.

We’ve seen core PC gaming brands like Razer and Asus entering the smartphone space with their respective gaming smartphone. Now a new company is expected to join the bandwagon. If reports are true, then Lenovo is going to launch its first gaming smartphone under its Legion branding. For those of you who don’t know, Legion is Lenovo’s dedicated brand that covers gaming laptops, desktops, and gaming accessories.

The company has apparently opened a new Weibo account dedicated to Legion branded gaming phones. The account seems to be authentic as it is verified and is owned Lenovo Mobile Communications Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. Assumingly, this will be an official account for the upcoming Legion gaming smartphone, although there is no official confirmation from the company. We also don’t have any information regarding the device itself. The account, however, has shared some videos which hint at a possible gaming smartphone in the future.It seems that Lenovo is going to follow the same footsteps as Asus by making use of the same branding as its core PC gaming division. It makes sense too. But will the new entrant be as successful as the Taiwanese brand, especially since the ROG Phone II is the most feature-packed gaming phone on the market? Time will tell.

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...

5 features that DuckDuckGo has and Google does not: Pick your search engine wisely

DuckDuckGo calls itself the search engine that does not track you. Usually search engines, including search giant Google, collect and store data and link that data with the user’s account. This information is used to personalise search results, but since DuckDuckGo does not track the user it does not personalise the search results. DuckDuckGo, launched in 2008, has 38.8 million daily and 31 billion total searches as of June 2019. Recently, Twitter CEO  Jack Dorsey  had said he has switched to DuckDuckGo, even though the brand has a mere 0.28% market share in the search engine market, while Google has a massive 81.5% share, stated the Newsmarket report as of September 2019.
