Update
Since writing the story, Huawei has issued a statement to clarify its stance on US ban which is as follows:
Huawei has made substantial contributions to the development and growth of Android around the world. As one of Android’s key global partners, we have worked closely with their open-source platform to develop an ecosystem that has benefitted both users and the industry.
Huawei will continue to provide security updates and after-sales services to all existing Huawei and Honor smartphone and tablet products, covering those that have been sold and that are still in stock globally. We will continue to build a safe and sustainable software ecosystem, in order to provide the best experience for all users globally.

The US government for a long time has accused Chinese tech titan, Huawei for stealing user data and sending it over to the Chinese government for malpractices. Even though the allegations are yet to be proved, the Trump government took a drastic step which has negatively affected the fate of the company. On the 19th of May, 2019, the US government revoked all American companies to have any sort of trade relations with Huawei.
The former is currently the world’s second largest smartphone manufacturer and they all run Android OS which is developed and facilitated by Google, an American conglomerate. Due to the ban implied by the US government, Google had to break all ties with Huawei resulting in the withdrawal of support for services like the Play Store, Youtube, Maps and many more. Albeit Android is an open source operating system that any OEM can install on devices they offer. In order to ship the device with the aforementioned applications and services from Google, the OEM needs to get its devices licensed. 
Following the convulsive change, the US Commerce Department has delayed some of the consequences of the said order for Huawei by 90 days. This period has been granted to the Chinese company so that it can purchase American made networking devices including servers which can be used for providing software updates to existing Huawei smartphones. Also, during the 90 day period, the company can get its existing smartphones Android Q certified which will provide some comfort to Huawei smartphone owners in the country.

Noteworthy, Huawei still cannot launch any new smartphones that are not already certified by Google. The about to launch Honor 20, Honor 20 Pro and the Mate X that have already received the certifications are safe and can be launched without any hindrance. Conclusively, only time will tell what the future beholds for Huawei.
Scientists from the University of Sussex worked in a collaboration with researchers from the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, USA. The treatment involves the usage of ‘Receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors’; which is a class of drug currently being used to treat cancer. A number of complex DNA sequencing techniques were implemented, and a new genetic basis of a brain aneurysm form was identified. Manuel Ferreira states that the mutations in the aforementioned gene were completely different from the ones that were previously detected in brain aneurysms.

The year long study on security attacks was presented by the company at a gathering of experts and policy-makers, called the Web conference. Google’s research stated that adding a recovery phone number can block up to 100% of all automated bots, 99% of all bulk phishing attacks and 66% of targeted security attacks. This study was carried out with researchers from New York University and the University of California, San Diego primarily to highlight how basic “account hygiene” can keep accounts safe.

The Black Shark 2 picks up a fair share of design aspects from its predecessor. The smartphone measures 163.61 x 75.01 x 8.77 mm and weighs in at 205 grams. It features a 6.39 inch AMOLED display which is surrounded by thin bezels on all sides. The smartphone’s display has a resolution of 2340 x 1080 px and a pixel density of 403 ppi. The display panel can reach brightness levels of upto 430 nits and has an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. The AMOLED display is pressure sensitive, which can offer a variety of implications while playing games on the device. Biometric security options include an in-display fingerprint sensor.
The right side of the smartphone houses the power button and a “shark slider” which when toggled turns on gaming mode for game-focused performance. The left side of the handset houses the volume rockers. The bottom of the device accommodates the USB Type-C port. Since it is a gaming device, it has a vapour cooling chamber to regulate high temperatures while intensive gaming sessions. 
Under the hood, the Black Shark 2 runs on the Snapdragon 855 SoC which consists of an Octa-Core CPU and the Adreno 640 GPU. The smartphone is powered by a 4,000 mAh battery which supports fast charging upto 27 W. Connectivity options on the device include 802.11 ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, Dual 4G VoLTE and GPS.
The rear of the Black Shark 2 has a unique design with green coloured decals that run along the sides. The rear panel also houses the brand logo and a dual camera setup, which consists of a 48 MP sensor, 12 MP sensor and an LED Flash. The camera can capture 2160p videos at 30 fps. For selfies, it has a 20 MP front-facing camera which is placed in the bezel above the display. The front camera can also capture 1080p videos at 30 fps.

The Thermaltake Tower 900 was a great choice for the build as it has a vertically mounted design, which can easily accommodate two cooling pumps. It is adorned on three sides with Tempered glass, so we can clearly showcase all the components on the build from multiple angles. Plus, the tower has a lot of expansion space, so if we decide to add more components in the future, it won’t be a hassle at all. It has an adequate amount of airflow and cable routing space for management. On top of everything, the white colour looks absolutely gorgeous and goes well with our black and white build theme.
We chose the Intel core i9 9980XE for our build simply because of the sheer magnitude of specifications it offers. The CPU has a total of 18 cores and 36 threads. Out-of-the-box, it operates at a base frequency of 3.0 GHz, but it can be overclocked to 4.50 GHz using Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0. The processor is compatible with a maximum memory size of 128 GB, which is what we intended to work with.
The X299 was perfect for our build considering the fact that we will eventually convert this build into a Hackintosh setup. The Motherboard features a total of 5 PCIe slots which would accommodate our two Graphics Cards and our RAID arrays. Moreover, it also has 3 M.2 slots to house the extra memory chips that are not being included in our RAID setup. The heat shields were also a nice addition. The motherboard is solidly built and the white accents on the board complement our setup to the maximum. Also, the X299 supports RGB Fusion 2.0 which will help us to seamlessly synchronize our RGB strips and fans using the application. 
As we mentioned before, we had support for 128 gigs of RAM in our setup, so that’s what we did. We went for the Vengeance Pro 32GB modules, which had 2 sticks of 16GB RAM each. The memory modules are themselves quite aesthetically pleasing, with a white casing and RGB support. They have DDR4 memory and a clock speed of 3200 MHz per stick. The RGB lighting of the modules can be regulated with the help of Corsair’s iCUE application. 
Since we were planning to put together a RAID array setup for our build, we got 10 sticks of the 1TB Samsung 970 EVO SSDs. RAID storage uses multiple disks in order to provide fault tolerance and improves the overall performance of the system. Eight of our 10 sticks were included in our two ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 cards (four SSDs per card) whereas the rest of the two 970 EVOs were used independently in the setup. 
The ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 cards support 4 NVMe M.2 (2242/2260/2280/22110) SSDs each. They are specially designed for Intel VROC and AMD Ryzen Threadripper NVMe RAID setups. Moreover, it has an additional cooling fan inside the bay to ensure that the storage sticks don’t overheat. 
Owing to the sheer number and wattage of components being used in our build, we went for the Corsair AX1600i, which is titanium plus rated modular power supply unit. Its transistors are made out of Gallium Nitride instead of silicon, which ensures a lower resistance and faster switching. The fan speed of the PSU can be regulated with the help of the Corsair Link desktop application (users will have to connect the PSU to the system via a USB cable). Plus, the AX1600i claims to be one of the most silent PSUs in the market as of now. For the sake of our Black and White PC build, we decided to go for custom white Corsair cable sleeves. 
In order to make our beast build resilient for times to come, we decided to go for two of the absolute flagship GFX cards from NVIDIA, the 2080 Ti. Each video card has 11 GB of GDDR6 memory and 14Gbps memory speed. Since we render 8K Red Camera footage for our videos, a dual 2080 Ti setup will provide the VRAM memory required to render the aforementioned videos in real time. Moreover, playing the most demanding games on the planet would be a breeze with the dual card setup. Both the 2080 Ti cards are linked with the EVGA NV Link bridge. 
We wouldn’t want our beast build to overheat at any point in time, so we chose to hard-tube the entire system. The kit we used was the Thermaltake Pacific M360 Plus Cooling Kit. It includes a water block, the D5 pump, 3x120mm fans, 360mm radiator, clear coolant and 8 C-Pro compression fittings along with 2 adapter fittings and 4 PETG hard tubes. We are also using the Thermaltake Pacific 12mm bending kit for hard tubing. However, we came upon a decision to not install the hard tubing until all the components are completely installed, so to suffice until then, we chose the Antec C400 Glacial CPU cooler. It has a PWM silent fan and pure copper heat pipes. 
As mentioned previously, the build will be used to edit and render high-resolution videos as well as to play graphics intensive games. To fulfil both the purposes, we chose the Samsung 48.9 inch Ultra-wide curved monitor which has a response time of 1ms and a refresh rate of 144 Hz. With a resolution of 3840 x 1080 px, the display features AMD’s FreeSync technology. 
In terms of peripherals, the Razer Black Widow X really stood out as a build-compliant keyboard. Firstly, it is white so it complements the setup really nicely, and secondly, it features Razer’s top-of-the-line tactile Green mechanical switches. The keyboard has programmable keys and N-Key rollover to prevent any ghosting instances. Plus, it boasts of really solid build quality.
We chose the White Razer Lancehead as it has an ambidextrous design, along with rubber grips on either side. It has a 5G optical 16,000 dpi sensor and is claimed to be optimized for 50 million clicks. Users can customize various sensitivity profiles in the Razer Synapse application. Using Razer Chroma, a multitude of colour schemes can be synchronized between both the mouse and the Keyboard. 
The Steelseries Arctis 7 is one of the most comfortable and good-sounding pair of headphones in the market. The two sweetest perks were the facts that they are wireless as well as white in colour. They connect via a 2.4GHz receiver so that latency loss is eliminated. The headphones are quite comfortable and have a battery life of almost 24 hours (as claimed by Steelseries after the latest firmware update). 
Reports state that the South Korean company will test out the updated Galaxy Fold models with three US mobile carriers in the month of June. Furthermore, launch date in the same month will be confirmed by Samsung itself in the upcoming days. This will be a relieving piece of news for those who had pre-booked the smartphone and wanted to get their hands on the Galaxy Fold earlier than other consumers. 
The first reports of the underlying issues with the Galaxy Fold’s display surfaced around 17 April 2019. Thereafter, many noted reviewers had stepped forward and reported that the inner display of the foldable device has stopped working. The major cause for the issue was later found out to the removal of the outer screen protector over the inside display. The South Korean company had bundled instructions along with the device indicating that the removal of the screen protector can lead to malfunction in the display. However, some devices still faced the same issue even without the removal of the screen protector.
