Artificial Environment

Welcome the world's most advance environment. Here you can do everything you want. But, artificially. Everything is easier. Maybe because it is easier to do everything in a simulation. Like building things. Like buying things. Like talking to each other. Here you can talk to people, but not with people. You can buy things, gain salary, but not money. You can see everything, you can go anywhere, but not your body. Not your other sense. You can make everything, think in about various unlimited ideas, with infinity resources, but it is just not here. Building on your own, your thoughts, You are writing the music, not playing it. You can kill somebody, without even touching them. You are everywhere You do everything But you are just sitting there Love is in the air, not in your sense. It's cool. It's there. But it's not here. Welcome to the world's most advance artificial environment. Where you live with fingers as your lethal weapo...

Budaya Latah, Latah Budaya

Latah Adalah sebuah fenomena --kalau boleh saya sebut "syndrome"-- yang sedang mewabah di lingkungan saya. Sebenarnya bukan baru-baru ini saja mewabah. Kalau dalam bahasa inggris, ini ceritanya pakai present perfect. Orang yang mengidap latah ini ada banyak juga jenis responnya. Kalau di internet-internet bisa berupa lisan, bisa juga perbuatan seperti lompat-lompat atau mengikuti atau mengulangi perbuatan si pencetusnya. Pencetusnya ini bisa beragam. Yang jelas selalu dari luar pemikiran si penderita latah. Biasanya karena kaget, atau memang kaget terus. Kaget terus itu contohnya sudah dikagetkan berkali-kali di waktu yang berdekatan tapi masih kaget juga. Itu bisa disebut penderita yang sudah kronis. Latah kronis. Itulah yang biasa disebut dengan latah, yaitu reaksi yang "unik" saat seseorang mendapatkan "trigger" tertentu. Nah belakangan latah ini mengalami perkembangan dan banyak orang semakin tertular. Mereka juga melakukan sebuah reaksi atas pence...

Swasembada Hantu pada Film Munafik 2 [Review] [Spoiler Alert!!!]

Image
image source: IMDB Tidak ada waktu yang lebih sulit dikejar dari: 1. Waktu Solat 2. Waktu Nonton Bioskop 3. Nonton Bioskop di Waktu Solat Itu quote yang aku dapatkan saat sedang dalam perjalanan menuju bioskop yang sekarang selalu disematkan didalam Mall. Perjalanan kali ini aku tempuh untuk menonton film horror pertamaku yang berjudul Munafik 2. Langsung 2, karena Munafik 1 aku tidak tau kalau itu ada. Setelah solat maghrib aku langsung siap-siap karena film-film jaman sekarang memang pemutarannya pada jam-jam azan. Sialnya nonton bioskop tidak termasuk dalam syarat dibolehkannya men-jama' solat. Lalu pilihan jatuh pada jadwal jam 8 malam, lumayan lama setelah azan isya. Namun masalahnya adalah rumahku sangat jauh dari bioskop ini. Terpaksa perginya ya habis maghrib juga. Sampai disana jam 7:40 dan tiket jam 8 sudah habis. Jadi ya intinya kalau mau nonton film ini datanglah jam 8 untuk membeli tiket yang jam 9. Itu aja. Jadi filmnya gimana? Oke, aku orang ya...

Why Samsung Phones are not My Choice

Samsung Galaxies. One of the world's number one smartphone brand. It provides a lot of choices from top to bottom. Expensive to affordable. Flagships to Mid-ranger. Bad sadly, those options still can't fulfil my destiny on smartphones. Quality is not missing in Samsung's dictionary. They always put that word in the first page. Hardwares are solid. Display technology from Samsung is the best in class that other companies rely on Samsung to make the display for them. Starting from the original Galaxy S, they continue to innovate and now the most advanced Samsung's flagship is called the Galaxy S9 and the Note 9. I'm very excited to put my hands on it and using it as my daily driver. But after I used the Galaxy S8 last year, I'm starting to change my mind. I move to the Galaxy S8 from the iPhone 7 Plus. One year of using Apple's phone are enough to make me bored. Yes my iPhone is still very fast, very reliable, nothing wrong. But nothing wrong just cannot m...

Catatan Seorang Gadget Freak saat Membeli Smartphone [ Penjelasan Rekondisi, Second ori dll]

Sebagai seorang Gadget Freak, atau sebagai selayaknya seorang laki-laki yang masih suka mainan tapi mainannya udah berubah. Nah, mungkin disana banyak orang yang seperti saya dan pada suka beli beli mainan baru, entah itu karena perlu atau sekedar ingin. Seringkali saat mau beli mainan baru, kita dipertemukan dengan banyaknya pilihan dan kita akan selalu menyeimbangkan antara harga dan kualitas dan pengalaman yang akan didapatkan. Tempat-tempat yang menawarkan juga banyak, mulai dari kedai resmi utusan pabrik dan kios-kios penjual barang tak resmi. Entah dari mana mereka mendapatkan barang-barang itu, tapi yang jelas eksplorasi barang-barang gadget ini memang memiliki seni tersendiri. Seru adalah kalimat yang pas. Jadi saya punya 4 kategori pembeli saat belanja gadget berdasarkan pengalaman saya: 1. MAIN AMAN (Bergaransi dan merk well known ) Jika anda adalah tipe yang tidak mau repot-repot berburu barang langka atau sudah percaya pada merk tertentu, maka anda adalah tipe yan...

Is IGTV the future of video platform? My Thoughts.

Instagram is being aggressive -once again- since the last time they took down Snapchat with their Story feature. And now they released a new video platform called Instagram TV or IGTV and go head to head with YouTube since other video platforms like Vimeo and Periscope didn't make it. So now let's talk about it. I don't know what, but I think YouTube is already such a big video platform. Some people maybe bored of YouTube for some reasons. No one can beat YouTube's power in the video platform world. Especially a new startup or whatsoever. So we need a big one, right? And a jerky mind came to Instagram's team and they decided to compete YouTube head to head on video platform as they are already big and everybody use it. They even launch an individual app for IGTV that you can download it now on your smartphone. But there are things that they decided not to "copy". They even do some kind of out of the box thing. Maybe they are also trying to copy Apple'...

Best iOS 11 Keyboards

Image
So it's been a long time for me not to write about tech anymore. Since I decided to make an instagram account and slowly move my post to that platform. But apparently instagram disabled my account just after I made my new tech account. It says that I violated something with my one second account. Anyway, back to the topic. The best iOS keyboard out there is here. For me, there are 2 of them. Here they are: 1. Swiftkey Yes, Swiftkey is very popular in the Android world, far far away before it reached the galaxy of iOS. But now on iOS 11 it is even getting better. The design There is no much different on iOS third party's keyboard design as Apple limits developer's capability on modifying the design. Maybe for the sake of user so they (umh, we I guess) won't be confused on design changes. The only design that Apple let them (or maybe us) to change is the background. You can choose between the background that they have provided for you or you can freely use any i...
