Samsung’s Galaxy S9 Brings Many Refinements To Its Flagship Offering
If you’ve been glued to the rumor mill surrounding Samsung’s Galaxy S9, you’re not going to be in for too many surprises now that the official launch has taken place. That’s not a bad thing, though, because the S9 improves upon everything that made the S8 such a well-received phone (it helped…..
ASUS’ HC102 Mixed Reality Headset Now Available for $429
Just a few short weeks ago, we were discussing our favorite products from the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show and one that kept getting brought up was HTC’s Vive Pro. Not only was it a significant improvement over its first-gen sibling, it was far more than that. It was a refreshing reminder that…..

In advance of next week’s Mobile World Congress, Arm has announced how it’s going to get cellular connections into a trillion devices (eventually!).

Samsung’s Super-Massive 30TB 2.5-Inch SSD Announced
Good things really do come in small packages. Samsung’s 30.72TB 12Gb/s SAS solid-state drive doubles its previous-gen counterpart while retaining a svelte 2.5-inch form-factor. If that doesn’t sound impressive, then lets phrase it this way. The PM1643 leverages 64-layer, 3-bit (TLC) 512Gb chips across 32 16-die packages to attain its impressively dense…..
System Shock Reboot On Hold After Nightdive Goes On ‘Hiatus’
It’s painful, but not altogether surprising at the same time, as another Kickstarter funded game goes on indefinite hold. Back in July 2016, Nightdive Studios put together a plan to remaster the venerable System Shock for a new audience. It took to Kickstarter and secured $1.3 million from over 21,000 backers –…..
Windows 10’s UWP DRM Protection Has Been Defeated By Scene Group CODEX
When Microsoft launched Windows 10, it introduced a new app framework called Universal Windows Platform, or UWP for short. With it, the company could ease cross-platform development. Even if you don’t use the Windows Store, you still likely use a UWP app from time to time. The simple calculator in Windows 10,…..
AMD Will Send You A Temporary CPU To Get Around Nonbooting AM4 Builds With Ryzen G Chips
Following the launch of AMD’s Ryzen processors w/ Radeon Vega last week, some customers have apparently found themselves in a bad spot after building their brand-new rig. It turns out that many AM4 motherboards won’t support these new chips out-of-the-box (not entirely surprising, but a little annoying nonetheless), which means if you…..
Qualcomm Continues To Reject Broadcom’s Advances, But Doesn’t Rule Out Continued Discussions

Blender Foundation Selling USB Flash Drive Rockets To Accelerate v2.8 Development
Blender 2.8 is en route, due for possible release later this year, and its developers couldn’t be more amped-up to make sure it’s the best version ever.

NVIDIA’s Next-gen GeForce Could Be Called ‘Turing’, Not ‘Ampere’
We reported last week that NVIDIA’s next-generation GeForce is rumored to be called ‘Ampere’, and… it now appears that might not be the case at all.

Microsoft’s Windows 10 17093 Build Adds Lots Of Polish, Cuts The Need For Passwords
Microsoft releases enough Insider Previews to make someone’s head spin, so it’s not often that a new build offers such an impressive set of updates that I feel inspired to write about it. Build 17093 is worth noting for a handful of reasons, and all of them will affect you directly when…..

NVIDIA’s Next Generation ‘Ampere’ GeForce Rumored To Launch This Spring
Considering the fact that NVIDIA’s Pascal hit the GeForce scene nearly two years ago, it’s impressive that we know so little about its follow-up at this point. When Volta launched, and resulted in the Tesla V100, it seemed likely that the architecture would naturally gravitate towards the GeForce side. Of course, that…..

Steam Audio Gets AMD TrueAudio Next Support For Hardware Accelerated Audio
It’s been a while since we last touched on AMD’s TrueAudio, an attempt at reintroducing hardware acceleration back into system audio pipeline.
