Zayn Malik makes fans’ dreams come true with new Urdu single: ‘I knew I had the right crush’

by Gabriella Ferlita

Zayn Malik has released a new single with Pakistani band Aur, and has surprised fans by singing fluently in Urdu. 

The former One Direction star is back, people! The British singer collaborated with the Karachi-based R&B/Hip-Hop trio, and remade their popular track Tu Hai Kahan

The original version of the track has over 95 million views on YouTube, but the remake — released on 12 January — has already reached over 3 million.

Fans — or Zquad-members, as they’re affectionately known — have been quick to react to Malik and Aur’s collaboration, with one fan writing: “since childhood I knew I had the right guy listed as my crush @zaynmalik”. 

“Desi girls, wake up, Zayn Malik’s one Urdu verse literally changed our lives,” another user wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Some languages just make you feel things… I hope [Zayn] does more fully Urdu songs,” echoed another.

The single marks the first release from the 31-year-old since his single from last July, Love Like This

“I was incredibly humbled when AUR reached out and asked me to collaborate on their song ‘Tu Hai Kahan,'” Malik said in a statement, as per Rolling Stone. “I love the song and have brought some of myself to it. I hope people love what we’ve done.”

The band members Usama Ali, Ahad Khan, and Raffey Anwar, added: “We are super excited for this collaboration as it shows that music has no boundaries. 

“Tu Hai Kahan is such a special song to us, and it’s hard to describe how amazed we were when we first heard Zayn’s voice on the track. We’re taking Pakistani music global, and we can’t wait for the world to vibe to our music.”

The track was originally released last year and achieved the top spot on many South Asian charts, including Spotify India and Pakistan. 

Tu Hai Kahan (feat. ZAYN) is out now.

The Best Laptops

by Kimber Streams and Dave Gershgorn

Smartphones and tablets may have taken over much of people’s screen time, but there’s still a need for a real computer sometimes—and for most people, that means a laptop. For school and office work and tasks like creating spreadsheets and editing video, there’s no good substitute for a decent keyboard and a big screen. But exactly which laptop you should get depends on how often you’ll use it, what you’ll use it for, and (of course) how much money you can afford to spend on it.

Topton has the cheapest mini PC with a Core i9-13900H processor yet

by Brad Linder

This year we’ve seen several mini PC makers cram Intel Core i9 chips into compact desktop computers for the first time. But they aren’t cheap: prices for a Simply NUC Onyx with a Core i9-13900H processor start at $999, while a Geekom Mini IT13 with the same chip sells for $789 (or $749 with the […]

James Webb Space Telescope will “absolutely” not launch in March

On Wednesday, the chief of NASA's science programs said the James Webb Space Telescope will not meet its current schedule of launching in March 2021.

"We will not launch in March," said Thomas Zurbuchen, the space agency's associate administrator for science. "Absolutely we will not launch in March. That is not in the cards right now. That's not because they did anything wrong. It's not anyone's fault or mismanagement."

Zurbuchen made these comments at a virtual meeting of the National Academies' Space Studies Board. He said the telescope was already cutting it close on its schedule before the COVID-19 pandemic struck the agency and that the virus had led to additional lost work time.

Backfriend Posture Back Support

by mark

The Backfriend ($170) makes any chair into a back support chair: car seats, desk chairs, stadium chairs, convention chairs, bus benches, a roughly chair-shaped tree trunk… if it has a seat and a back, you can make a comfortable back support chair out of it.

It’s rather pricey, but truly a friend to your back; I’ve been using it for 5 years now and it’s built to last — the only thing that has broken was one of the connectors, but they gave me a spare (and honestly, you could use zipties as connectors).

Basically, the Backfriend consists of two tough, ergonomically molded pieces of plastic covered by a cushion. The pieces are rigid enough that I can even use them in my canvas butterfly chair and I’m still well supported, even though parts of the Backfriend are not. I use it in my car most of the time — it’s well endorsed by truck drivers — but it really shines when I go to a festival, concert, sporting event, seminar or convention. Remember those butt-buster chairs you had to squirm around in the last time you went to a seminar? No more! Just unfold your Backfriend in your seat and you’ll be the envy of your uncomfortable compatriots.

It doesn’t fold entirely flat, because it’s molded, but it ends up being about max 3 inches thick when folded, has a carry handle and a velcro strap so it doesn’t unfold mid-carry, and it’s pretty light.

It’s not inexpensive, but it will serve you well. I’d order it from a place that allows returns, just in case…but I don’t see these come up used on eBay much — once they’ve tried them, people don’t want to let them go!

You saw the Star Wars teaser—but what about this upcoming blockbuster?

by Lee Hutchinson

OK, yes, Old Han Solo and Chewie are back on the Millennium Falcon and Old Luke is bequeathing lightsabers and force powers left and right—it’s great that we elder nerds might finally get the Star Wars sequels that we’ve lusted after since we were kids. But there’s another amazing trailer/music video combo that has been lost among all the wookie-hugging: Kung Fury. And because Ars Managing Editor Eric Bangeman has taken this Friday off, I can write about it. I can write about anything I want.

Video: The first trailer for Kung Fury.

Filmed piecemeal from across two years by Swedish filmmaker David Sandberg and funded mostly by a Kickstarter campaign that raised more than $600,000, Kung Fury is set in one of the most idealized and beautiful visions of the 1980s ever digitally filmed: synth beats fill the hot Miami nights, denim and Power Gloves abound, and a renegade kung fu cop named Kung Fury takes things too far.

After handing in his gun and badge, there’s only one thing left for Kung Fury to do: go back in time and kill Adolf Hitler, the "Kung Führer," the baddest kung fu villain of all time. But even though Fury has the help of a note-perfect '80s computer nerd sidekick, he goes too far back in time, to an era where Vikings and T-rexes roamed the land.
