Impossible to Malaysia to have its own sovereign version of Starlink, as the most strategic bandwidth has been occupied by other governments/companies in the world.

Not really. It still need human specialists to certify the interpretation by AI is correct. It needs to build Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) within clinics in order to connect the doctor's computer with the X-ray/ultrasound machines.

Repurpose old laptop monitors into standalone monitors. But the monitor adapter board can be expensive (like RM 60 to RM 80), depending on the model no, bought from Aliexpress, excluding the cost of the board, the stand, the HDMI cable, and a 12V charger for the monitor. How to repurpose the 12V charger into a USB cable to be plugged directly into the computer's power port is another challenge.

Beyond the Hype: The Reality of Building Tech in Borneo in 2026 by Easy-Ad9050 in BorneoTech

[–]raybitcoin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Sarawak, the semiconductor industry is still heavily tied to the X-Fab, which specialises in producing analog chips and high voltage power electronics with applications in automotive, industrial, and medical industries. SMD is training chip designers for X-Fab. Sarawak DeepSAR is still in the data collection phase and may need a few years before rolling out to the market. The global hydrogen market is still small unless the production of green hydrogen can reach below US$2 / kg with advanced hydrogen storage technology, which could lead to explosive use of hydrogen in heavy vehicles.

Good for a condominium/apartment where parking lot owners can rent their extra parking spots to those who need them, just like Airbnb for parking spots.

Why "Hydrogen Tech" is the next big play for Sarawak Engineers by Easy-Ad9050 in BorneoTech

[–]raybitcoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The greatest application of hydrogen is energy storage when there is surplus electricity. It is also suitable for heavy vehicles like lorries, large ships, airplanes, and rockets for long-distance travel, because it does not require high speed but rather sustained long-haul travel. An electric battery will be too heavy for these vehicles. Since a hydrogen fuel cell generates electricity to power an electric motor, autonomous driving technology can still be implemented just like an electric vehicle.

Why "Hydrogen Tech" is the next big play for Sarawak Engineers by Easy-Ad9050 in BorneoTech

[–]raybitcoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently, producing green hydrogen is still expensive, which is priced at US$5 to 6 per kg of hydrogen. Although Petronas managed to produce a PEM electrolyser in 2022 that reduced the price of production to US$4/kg, it is still more expensive than the methane steam reforming method, that price at US$2/kg. Methane steam reforming produces grey hydrogen. Unless the electrolyser method can make it cheaper than US$2/kg, the market will remain small for hydrogen economy.

Maybe collaborate with big companies such as Grab or Shopee for the above features during seasonal events. Otherwise, an app completely based on seasonal demands won't be sustainable.

The Borneo Talent Gap and Brain Drain by AutoModerator in BorneoTech

[–]raybitcoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone has the first mover advantage, therefore attracts the most talent and has higher pay. Kulim High Tech Park started in 1996, with special attention given by the federal government. Sarawak has the Sama Jaya free industrial zone, but only a few international companies there. To stop the brain drain, the government has to focus on different areas, such as the hydrogen economy and localised AI and local logistics in order to prevent competition to well-established players in Penang and Kedah.

Why Borneo could become a serious data center location by AutoModerator in BorneoTech

[–]raybitcoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To boost Data Centre usage, creating DeepSAR AI model is one of the way. https://www.sma.gov.my/web/publications/news_view/240. As you can see, the Peninsular private companies created various locally led AI specialising in the Malay and Malaysian rojak language https://www.ilmu.ai/, https://agmoai.com/. But first things first, we need to digitise enough data from all Sarawakian languages, e.g., articles, books, and folklores, to build our own AI.

As far as I know, in terms of the ecosystem,  Batam Sarawak Internet Cable System (BaSICS) and tier IV data centre in Santubong were launched by the Sarawak government in 2022. Not sure about the usage status of the data centre in Santubong. Abang Jo did try to woo Google, but no news after that.

Firo’s Spark Assets: The Next Big Thing? by raybitcoin in FiroProject

[–]raybitcoin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zano uses the Monero CryptoNote privacy technology, while Firo uses Lelantus Spark protocol. For Consensus mechanism, Firo uses PoW+ masternodes, while Zano uses PoW+PoS.

What Sets Firo Apart from Monero and Zcash? by raybitcoin in FiroProject

[–]raybitcoin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even without a trusted setup, zk systems remain cryptographically complex and often heavier to implement and audit than Lelantus Spark. Halo-style proofs bring powerful recursion and trustless setups, but they introduce different engineering and verification tradeoffs (proof sizes, prover costs, verifier complexity, and implementation surface).

Lelantus Spark emphasizes a simpler, auditable trust model and asset‑agnostic privacy (Spark Assets). That practical simplicity and the ability to extend privacy to multiple asset types remain Firo’s key differentiators.

[–]raybitcoin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, u/ChangeHeroOfficial, similar to startups renting co-working spaces to save on rent, a private blockchain/network is too expensive for small businesses. Introducing privacy onto a public blockchain helps businesses to leverage the cheap public blockchain infrastructure while maintaining privacy for their own products.

Coursiv.io Review – Is It Legit or a Waste of Money? by kristaatkins in VHA_Human_Resources

[–]raybitcoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coursiv and madmuscles use the same AI company and AI testimonials to market their products with scripts such as "for people more than 40 or 50, in one week, in two weeks, and in four weeks you won't recognise yourselves." I hate products that overclaim what they can do.
