Robinsons Malls, in partnership with HM Transport, has extended support to the Department of Transportation and Communications’ new commuter bus – the Premium Point-to-Point (P2P) Bus Service – that provides the riding public a more relaxed commuting experience and shorter travel time.

“Robinsons Malls teams up with HM Transport to provide our mall customers and the riding public with premium point-to-point bus service is another testament to Robinsons Land’s commitment to uplift the quality of life of the Filipinos,” said Darwin S. Renolayan, Robinsons Galleria Ortigas regional operations manager.

The premium P2P buses will be equipped with modern features such as global positioning system devices, on-board closed-circuit television cameras, automatic fare collection system, and free WiFi.  Premium P2P buses shall use clean alternative fuels and will be compliant with Euro IV emissions standards.

The bus units will also be PWD-friendly as these are required to have low entry, ranging 0.28 to 0.38 meters from road level, and space for one passenger with wheelchair and a foldable or retractable ramp for easy access.

Areas for off-street loading and unloading are properly designated to avoid road obstruction and ensure smooth traffic flow. To prevent on-street competition among buses, bus drivers are paid a fixed salary and benefits with no incentives for ridership.

DOTC and LTFRB officials led the launch of the Premium P2P Bus Service from Ortigas-Makati with partners from Robinsons Malls and HM Transport. The Ortigas-Makati route will be from Mondays- Fridays (except holidays and weekends), 6:30 a.m. – 7 p.m. while Makati-Ortigas route will be from Mondays-Fridays (except holidays and weekends), 10:30 a.m. – 8:15 p.m. with loading points located at the south corner of EDSA Shrine and Park Square Makati respectively.

You can pay at a restaurant by smiling at a camera

© Provided by Engadget As easy as it is to make purchases in the era of tap-to-pay services , it's about to get easier still. Alipay (which handles purchases for Chinese shopping giant Alibaba) has launched what it says is the first payment system that uses facial recognition to complete the sale. If you visit one of KFC's KPRO restaurants in Hangzhou, China, you can pay for your panini or salad by smiling at a camera-equipped kiosk -- you need to verify the purchase on your phone, but you don't have to punch in digits or bring your phone up to an NFC reader. The system (Smile to Pay) is purportedly resistant to spoofing with photos and other tricks. It relies on both depth-sensing cameras and a "likeness detection algorithm" to make sure it's really you. Reportedly, the technology is good enough that it can accurately identify people even when they're disguising themselves through makeup or wigs. You shouldn't have to worry about someone buying ...

Tesla cloud account hacked to mine cryptocurrency

© Provided by The Hill An unidentified outside hacker infiltrated Tesla's Amazon cloud account and used its systems to quietly mine for cryptocurrencies, a cybersecurity firm announced Tuesday. The hack also potentially exposed the electric car company's data. Researchers for RedLock found that Tesla's credentials on an IT administrative console were not password protected. They made the discovery while trying to track down which organizations had left their Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials openly exposed on the internet last month. The hackers quietly hijacked the console and began running scripts to generate virtual currency like bitcoin, the latest in a series of "cryptojacking" attacks. The researchers also found the hackers used "sophisticated evasion measures" to go undetected. A spokesperson for Tesla said the company learned about the breach in a company-sanctioned bug bounty program that pays outside hackers to discover vulnerabilitie...
