Black Friday Origin : Slaves Sale After Thanksgiving?!

Did the Black Friday shopping phenomenon start with the sale of slaves after the Thanksgiving holiday?

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the FACTS really are!

 

Black Friday Origins : Selling Of Slaves After Thanksgiving?

Photos of slaves being sold in the United States are circulating on WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter as evidence that the term “Black Friday” originated with the practice of selling slaves after the Thanksgiving holiday.

The term “Black Friday” originated with the practice of selling off [sic] slaves on the day after Thanksgiving.

Now, do we really need to embrace this kind of torture? Or we are such foolish, that we don’t even research what is this so-called Black Friday and we become so exciting on something like this?

 

Truth : Black Friday Nothing To Do With Sale Of Slaves

The truth is – this is yet another example of FAKE NEWS circulating on social media and messaging apps like WhatsApp.

Fact #1 : Black Friday Term Was First Used In 1950s

The earliest known use of the term Black Friday to refer to a particular day after the American Thanksgiving holiday can be traced back to the November 1951 edition of the journal, Factory Management and Maintenance, which referred to the practice of workers calling in sick on the day after Thanksgiving, to get a four-day weekend.

Around the same time (in the 1950s), Philadelphia and Rochester police were also using the terms Black Friday and Black Saturday to describe crowds and traffic congestion at the start of the Christmas shopping season.

Fact #2 : Black Friday Refers To Busiest Shopping Day In America

The term did not catch on until The New York Times referred to Black Friday as “the busiest shopping and traffic day of the year” on 29 November 1975.

It became more popular in the early 1980s, and The Philadelphia Inquirer explained Black Friday in 1981 as the day when retailers would no longer be “in the red”, and would finally start making money.

Since 2005, Black Friday has been the busiest shopping day of the year in the United States.

Fact #3 : Black Friday Had Nothing To Do With Sale Of Slaves

It may seem silly but we have to say it – the term Black Friday has nothing to do with the sale of slaves after Thanksgiving. It doesn’t even make sense!

America’s history with slaves is long and tortured, and extensively covered. Slaves were bought and sold throughout the year, and not on a particular Friday after the Thanksgiving holiday.

Just in case you are wondering – no, there was no discount on slaves being sold right after the Thanksgiving holiday.

Note : We added the FALSE overlay to prevent the pictures from being further abused.

Fact #4 : Slavery Ended In The US In 1865

President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on 1 January, 1863 – effectively making all slaves legally free.

However, it took the end of the American Civil War in 1865, to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation throughout the entire United States of America.

On 6 December 1865, Federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas to enforce the emancipation. That day is now celebrated as a national holiday in 2021 – the Juneteenth National Independence Day.

Therefore, the poster showing slaves being sold in 1904 at a Black Friday sale in America is categorically false.

Share this fact check with your friends, and help us fight fake news!

The HUAWEI nova 9 smartphone is targeted at millennials who love taking photos and videos, and enjoy creating content and vlogging too!

To cater to photo + video enthusiasts, the nova 9 comes with a 50 MP RYYB Ultra Vision Camera and a 32 MP selfie camera with ultra slow-mo capability, and a slew of other cool features.

Here’s a quick round-up of its key features!

6.57-inch 120 Hz OLED Smooth Display

The first thing you will notice is the large, beautiful 6.57-inch OLED display, which boasts a P3 colour gamut with ΔE < 1 colour accuracy.

On top of that, it can refresh at up to 120 Hz, and has a touch sampling rate of 300 Hz – giving you silky smooth visuals with lightning quick touch response.

Powerful Mid-Range Platform!

The HUAWEI nova 9 is built around the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G mobile platform, which offers :

  • three Kryo 670 Gold (A78-based) cores running at 2.2 GHz,
  • four Kryo 670 Silver (A55-based) cores running at 1.8 GHz
  • Adreno 642L GPU running at 490 MHz

Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G is a new mid-range mobile SoC built on the 6 nm process, which offers preppy performance without the higher power consumption of flagship mobile SoC.

The nova 9 also uses Graphene and VC Liquid Cooling technology to keep the Snapdragon 778G cool, even in the most strenuous gaming session!

Flagship-Class Cameras In A Mid-Range Smartphone!

To cater to vloggers and content creators, HUAWEI introduced new camera technologies and a new RYYB sensor in the nova 9 smartphone.

In the front, it boasts a magnificent 32 MP selfie camera, with a large f/2.0 aperture and support for slow-motion 720p video recording at up to 240 fps!

At the back, it has a very high resolution 50 MP RYYB Ultra Vision camera, which features a larger sensor size of 1/1.56-inch and a wide aperture of f/1.9 . This camera not only records 4K video, it can record ultra slow-motion 720p video at up to 960 fps!

Its XD Fusion Engine uses computational photography techniques to enhance the photos you take, while its Ultra Vision HDR Technology helps you shoot with ease in all kinds of environment.

Content creators will also love the new Dual-View video function, which gives you greater creativity for your videos and vlogs!

Stylish Ultra-Thin Design!

The HUAWEI nova 9 has a stylish ultra-thin design that is only 7.77 mm thick, and weighs just 175 grams.

Its chassis features a new advanced anti-glare Starry Flash AG Glass coating with a double-film and double-coated matte finish, with a star-inspired Star Orbit Ring on its rear camera.

It comes in two colour options – Pristine Black and the signature Starry Blue colour!

66W SuperFast Charging Battery!

The HUAWEI nova 9 comes with a large 4,300 mAh battery, that supports 66W HUAWEI SuperCharge.

You never need to worry about running out of battery, because a quick 38 minute charge gives you a full charge!

Full Suite Of Apps Through HUAWEI Mobile Services (HMS)

The HUAWEI nova 9 has access to a full suite of important apps through the HUAWEI AppGallery, for banking, social media, food & beverage, e-wallet, shopping and of course, games!

Best of all – you only need to use a single HUAWEI ID to access the HUAWEI AppGallery across your different HUAWEI devices. Parents can also enable parental control function to restrict access and limit how much time children can use their devices or browse the Internet.

Its built-in Email app lets you manage multiple email accounts – Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo; while Petal Search gives you access to an AI-powered mobile search engine for a better browsing experience.

The HUAWEI Mate 30 | Mate 30 Pro Referral Program Guide!

HUAWEI Malaysia is kicking off a special Mate 30 | Mate 30 Pro Referral Program for less than 2 weeks!

Here is the Tech ARP guide to the HUAWEI Mate 30 | Mate 30 Pro Referral Program for Malaysia!

 

What Is The HUAWEI Mate 30 | Mate 30 Pro Referral Program?

The HUAWEI Mate 30 | Mate 30 Pro Referral Program is a limited sale program in Malaysia.

It aims to encourage the first batch of Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro owners to reach out and get other people to buy them too.

The reason why they are doing this is to make sure the second batch of owners will have someone to help them clone their Android apps, or find alternative apps.

 

How Does The Mate 30 | Mate 30 Pro Referral Program Work?

Step 1 : Decide on a model

Here is the official price list for the HUAWEI Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro for Malaysia :

  • HUAWEI Mate 30 (8 GB + 128 GB) : RM 2,799 / ~US$669 / ~£539 / ~A$989
  • HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro (8 GB + 256 GB) : RM 3,899 / ~US$929 / ~£749 / ~A$1,379

Step 2 : Decide on a colour

The HUAWEI Mate 30 and HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro smartphones are available in two colour options – Black and Space Silver.

Recommended : HUAWEI Mate 30 + Mate 30 Pro Colour Comparison!

Step 3 : Obtain a referral code

You need to get a referral code from an existing Mate 30 or Mate 30 Pro owner.

To get things started though, HUAWEI Malaysia’s Country Director Bill Liu is offering his personal referral code (33995) for everyone to use for two days – 27 to 28 October 2019.

Step 4 : Purchase through the Referral Program

Finally, head over to https://mate30seriesreferral.3ex.com.my/, and make your purchase with the referral code!

 

Why HUAWEI Created The Mate 30 | Mate 30 Pro Referral Program

HUAWEI decided against a general public sale of the HUAWEI Mate 30 and HUAWEI Mate 30 Pro smartphones, due to US restrictions on Google Mobile Services.

They began limited sales in Malaysia through the Exclusive Ownership Campaign, where existing or previous HUAWEI Mate users were allowed to purchase the Mate 30 or Mate 30 Pro.

These early adopters received a whole bunch of freebies. In exchange, they had to learn how to live without Google Mobile Services, with help from HUAWEI through an exclusive service hotline and WhatsApp channel.

And now, they will serve as HUAWEI’s unofficial geek squad! That is why you need a referral code from one of these existing Mate 30 or Mate 30 Pro owners, to be able to purchase a unit under the Referral Program.

The Carousell Rights Owners Programme (CROP) Explained!

In response to the sale of counterfeit goods on their platform, Carousell introduced the Carousell Rights Owners Programme (CROP).

Find out what the Carousell Rights Owners Programme is all about, and what it means to brands and Carousell buyers and sellers!

 

The Carousell Rights Owners Programme (CROP)

In response to criticism that a number of sellers on their platforms were selling counterfeit goods, Carousell initiated the Carousell Rights Owners Programme (CROP) in December 2018.

Under the Carousell Rights Owners Programme (CROP), trusted brands are given the power to directly remove listings of counterfeits on Carousell with zero processing time.

CROP gives brands assurance that their rights are being protected, and Carousell users the confidence to buy and sell legitimate goods on the platform.

 

Why Carousell Created CROP

Carousell officially had prohibited selling counterfeit goods or replicas that violate intellectual property rights. However, prior to CROP, it required a lengthy process of flagging the item to the actual takedown by the Carousell brand protection team.

CROP drastically reduces the time needed to takedown counterfeit listings, and obviates the need for them to expand their brand protection team. In the last nine months, brands have used CROP to take down 13,000 listings.

Carousell has only allowed a selected number of brands to join CROP and access its content moderation tools. They include Nike, Grab and luxury group Kering which owns brands like Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga and Bottega Veneta.

However, Carousell did not detail any recourse for sellers whose genuine items were wrongly identified as counterfeits, and taken down by CROP.

5 Reasons To Buy HUAWEI nova 5T Tomorrow For RM1,599!

Retail sale of the HUAWEI nova 5T kicks off on 7 September 2019, and here are the top 5 reasons why you should buy this HUAWEI smartphone for just RM 1,599!

 

The Top 5 Reasons To Buy The HUAWEI nova 5T!

The HUAWEI nova 5T is one of the most compelling mid-range smartphones in the market today, offering flagship-class performance with an exquisite design at a highly affordable price.

Here are the top 5 reasons why you should buy the HUAWEI nova 5T over its competitors :

Reason #1 : The HUAWEI nova 5T has 5 AI cameras!

Different scenes require different lenses, which is why DSLR cameras can switch lenses. Unfortunately, smartphones can’t do that.

The HUAWEI nova 5T works around that problem with five separate AI cameras so you can select the best camera for the scene!

32 MP Selfie Camera

The front 32 MP camera combines a large f/2.0 aperture and 4-in-1 pixel fusion to create brighter, clearer selfies even in poor lighting conditions.

But that’s not all. It automatically uses AI technology to create the best possible selfies by balancing exposure and backlighting, while enhancing the background.

48 MP Main Camera

The 48 MP main camera uses a class-leading 1/2-inch Sony IMX586 sensor with a very bright f/1.8 aperture for professional-quality shots.

At night, the AI-powered Super Night Mode uses intelligent light sensing, image de-noising, long exposure and stabilisation technology to deliver incredible, blur-free photos… without using a tripod!

16 MP Ultra-Wide Camera

Wide-angle photos are incredible at conveying the grand scale of architectures and landscapes, making them look much more dramatic and interesting.

The HUAWEI nova 5T‘s 16 MP ultra-wide camera does that, even at night, thanks to its bright f/2.2 aperture.

2 MP Macro Camera

DSLRs have to use special macro lenses to take close-up photos, but thanks to its dedicated Macro Camera, the HUAWEI nova 5T can take close-up photos from just 4 cm away from the subject!

2 MP depth sensor

The 2 MP depth sensor lets the 48 MP main camera distinguish the background from the subject. The Kirin 980‘s image signal processor uses that information to create stunning portraits with incredible background bokeh in real-time!

Reason #2 : The HUAWEI nova 5T has a premium look and feel

You don’t need to buy an expensive flagship device for that premium look and feel. The HUAWEI nova 5T looks and feels like a flagship device that cost 2-3X as much!

In the front, it boasts an ultra-small 4.5 mm camera cutout, with an astounding 91.6% screen-to-body ratio!

For a better hand feel and grip, HUAWEI used a metal frame made out of aerospace-grade aluminium. It also boasts a 2.5D glass back, with a new 3D holographic effect.

Thanks to these painstaking attention to detail, the HUAWEI nova 5T looks and feels like an ultra-premium flagship smartphone! You have to try it out for yourself!

Interesting Note : The Midsummer Purple version has a monogram pattern with a hidden meaning. When viewed sideways, it looks like a boy stretching his arms to hug a girl.

Reason #3 : The HUAWEI nova 5T delivers flagship performance!

Unbelievably, the HUAWEI nova 5T runs on the same Kirin 980 platform that powers pricey flagship devices like the HUAWEI P30 Pro, the HONOR 20 Pro and the HUAWEI Mate 20!

In addition to its four high-performance A76 and four low-power A55 cores, it also comes with a 24-core GPU and two NPUs, which double its graphics and AI performance.

The HUAWEI nova 5T will also automatically optimise its gaming performance using GPU Turbo 3.0, which can boost CPU performance by 75% and GPU performance by 46%.

On top of that, it supports LTE Category 21 download speeds of up to 1.6 Gbps, as well as dual frequency GPS (L5 + L1) for 10X more accurate positioning.

Reason #4 : The HUAWEI nova 5T Level-Up Programme!

For existing HUAWEI nova users, you can take advantage of a special HUAWEI nova 5T Level-Up Program!

Available at HUAWEI Stores from 7 September 2019 onwards, you can save up to RM 905 when you trade-in your current nova smartphone for the nova 5T!

Reason #5 : The HUAWEI nova 5T Comes With Extended Warranty!

If you buy the HUAWEI nova 5T now, you can extend its warranty to 2 full years!

Just make sure you claim the extended warranty by 30 September 2019! Follow our redemption guide!

 

HUAWEI nova 5T Price + Availability

The HUAWEI nova 5T has an official recommended retail price of RM 1,599 / ~$379 / ~£309 / ~A$559.

Official retail sale will kick off on 7 September 2019, with special offers worth up to RM 1,127 :

  • Member Center rewards worth up to RM 1,000,
  • a HUAWEI SuperCharge Car Charger worth RM 127,
  • and also 1-year extended warranty (must claim by 30th September).

You can grab this offer at the official HUAWEI Online Store!

If you are an existing HUAWEI nova user, we highly recommend you take advantage of the special HUAWEI nova 5T Level-Up Program!

The HUAWEI No Worries Promotion + Redemption Details!

HUAWEI Malaysia is kicking into turbo mode with a special No Worries promotion! Not just for their popular smartphones, but also their MateBook laptops and more!

Here is EVERYTHING you must know about the HUAWEI No Worries promotion. Don’t miss this great opportunity to score some great deals!

 

The HUAWEI No Worries Promotion

HUAWEI ended June with a slew of great news – they sold 100 million smartphones by 30 May, 10 million P30 smartphones by 20 June, and the release of their EMUI 9.1 – a major upgrade of their mobile OS.

To kick off the second half of 2019, they are announcing a new HUAWEI No Worries promotion, with a bunch of great offers!

HUAWEI No Worries Promotion #1 : Extended Two-Year Warranty!

HUAWEI is offering an extended two-year warranty on all P30 Series, Mate20 Series, Nova 4 Series and Nova 3i smartphones, as well as MediaPad M5 tablets!

This extended warranty will protect your HUAWEI device against repair costs using original HUAWEI parts at authorised HUAWEI service centers.

You will need to use the HiCare app to claim the second-year warranty. Just follow our instructions in the next page!

The offer is limited from 1 July 2019 until 30 September 2019, so make sure you purchase and redeem the extended warranty during that offer period!

For more details on the HUAWEI 2-Year Warranty Program, click here!

HUAWEI No Worries Promotion #2 : Price Cut On Three Bestsellers!

HUAWEI is offering a price cut on their three best-selling models :

  • HUAWEI P30 (8 GB + 128 GB) : Now only RM 2,299 – a RM 400 (15%) discount!
  • HUAWEI P30 Pro (8 GB + 256 GB) : Now only RM 3,399 – a RM 400 (10.5%) discount!
  • HUAWEI Nova 3i : Now only RM 799 – a RM 100 (11.1%) discount!

Grab these 3 great offers at this link!

 

How To Redeem The 1 Year Extended Warranty

Step 1

Open the HiCare app, and click on the Extended Warranty Plan banner

Step 2

Update the HiCare app version, as prompted by the system

Step 3

Create a new HUAWEI ID, or log into your existing HUAWEI ID

Step 4

Tap on “Click Here Now” to redeem your Extended Warranty Plan

Step 5

Congratulations! You successfully redeemed the Extended Warranty!

 

HUAWEI Models Applicable For 1 Year Extended Warranty Promotion

HUAWEI P Series : P30, P30 Pro
HUAWEI Mate Series : Mate 20, Mate 20 Pro, Mate 20X
HUAWEI nova Series : nova 4, nova 4e, nova 3i
HUAWEI MediaPad M5 Series : MediaPad M5, MediaPad M5 Pro

 

No Worries Experience With Extended Warranty!

The price cuts will definitely excite HUAWEI fans, and make the amazing HUAWEI P30 smartphones more affordable. But what about the extended warranty?

Many smartphone users often forget about the importance of warranty until, well, long after they purchase their devices.

Nothing Usually Happens In The First Year

Most users will agree that nothing usually happens in the first year, so no one really makes use of the usual 12-month warranty.

By extending the warranty for another 12 months, HUAWEI is basically offering 24 months of No Worries experience!

Repairs + Replacements Are Not Cheap!

Because smartphones are so powerful and sophisticated, they are very expensive to repair. Even if HUAWEI offers free repair services, the replacement parts can be prohibitively expensive.

With the extended warranty, you can get your HUAWEI smartphone repaired at no cost for two years. It sure beats paying for repairs, or worse, buying a new replacement phone!

Don’t Forget Minor Fixes!

Some people live with minor issues (like a hard-to-use Power button) that cropped up after their warranty expires, because it’s just not worth switching to a new smartphone.

With the extended warranty, you need not live with such inconveniences – just send in your HUAWEI smartphone for a free check-up and service or repair!

The 2019 Steam Lunar New Year Sale Examined!

The 2019 Steam Lunar New Year Sale just kicked off! Is there anything great? What is Steam offering gamers this year? Read on and find out!

 

The 2019 Steam Lunar New Year Sale

Another festival, another excuse for a Steam sale! For the 2019 Steam Lunar New Year Sale, Steam is offering a slew of discounted games. On top of that, they are offering discounts and other time-limited gifts.

Discount On First Purchase

Steam will give you US$5 / £5 off the first purchase of $30 / £30 and above, or the local equivalent in currency. Here in Malaysia, they are offering RM 10 off the first purchase of RM 60 and above.

This 16.7% discount applies to both games that are on sale, and those that are normal-priced. It will only be valid for purchases made between 4 February 2019, 10 am PST and 11 February, 10 am PST.

FREE 2019 Steam Lunar New Year Red Envelope

Even if you do NOT intend to buy any game during the sale period, you will receive a FREE red envelope. Inside, you will find tokens that can be redeemed for discounts and bonuses during the sale period.

The amount of tokens you receive in your red envelope depends on how much you spent in Steam earlier. But even if you did not spend a single cent, you will receive a token sum of 100 tokens (pun intended!).

This offer is good until 13 February 2019, 2 AM CST.

Getting More Tokens

Purchasing games during 2019 Steam Lunar New Year Sale will give you extra tokens. You will receive 100 tokens for every USD spent in the US, and 127 tokens for every £1 spent in the UK.

Here in Malaysia, you will receive 59 tokens for every RM 1 spent, which gives you a +136% advantage! Unless you intend to redeem discounts with those tokens… then the advantage is a paltry +18%.

What Can You Redeem With Those Tokens?

Here is what you can redeem with your tokens :

  • More discounts : A US$5 / £5 / RM 10 discount code costs 15,000 tokens
  • Golden profile : For 4,000 tokens, your profile goes “gold” until the end of the 2019 Steam Lunar New Year Sale
  • Lunar New Year Badges : Steam offers up to TEN levels of badges that cost 2,000 tokens per level.

Note : Any tokens or rewards received, earned or redeemed are locked to your accounts, and cannot be traded. Your tokens will also expire by 13 February 2019, 2 AM CST. So make sure you use them all!

 

Is The 2019 Steam Lunar New Year Sale Worth It?

The $5 / £5 / RM 10 discount on the first purchase of US$30 / £30 / RM 60 and above is nothing to shout about. It is, at most, a 16.7% discount. However, you will never be able to buy a game for the minimum limit, so the actual discount is more like 10%.

Still, it will worth using if there are games on offer that you wish to purchase. For example, Far Cry 5 and XCOM 2 are currently discounted at 75%. This first-time discount could make them as cheap as 80% off!

On the other hand, the additional US$5 / £5 / RM 10 discount redemption is ridiculously expensive at 15,000 tokens. You will need to first purchase $150 / £118 / RM 255 worth of games to receive that discount, which can only be applied towards your next purchase.

In the best case scenario, you can pick up a game worth $5 / £5 / RM 10 for free… but even that works out to a maximum discount of 3.2% for the whole deal. In most cases, the net discount will be more like 1-2%.

Spending the tokens on the Golden Profile though is an even more epic waste of money. Unless you get those 4,000 tokens free, you will need to spend $40 / £31.50 / RM 68 to turn your profile gold for just a few days.

The badges are a better value because they are permanent, albeit NON-TRADEABLE and NON-TRANSFERABLE. You will need to spend $20 / £16 / RM 34 per level though, which means a total of $200  / £157.50 / RM 339 just to get all 10 badges.

Steam allows you to download the Lunar New Year profile backgrounds, but to add them to your Steam profile, you will need to redeem each for 1,000 tokens. Still, this is a better deal than spending 4,000 tokens for a temporary Golden Profile.

If you are a cheapskate like us, you will probably end up using your tokens for the piggy emoticons. At only 100 tokens each, everyone will be able to get at least one FREE.
