Bang & Olufsen is bringing back a turntable from the 70s

Bottom line: Bang & Olufsen has introduced the first product under its new Classics initiative, a limited edition turntable that it originally produced nearly five decades ago. Fewer than 100 examples are going to be offered and it's crazy expensive, but if you want a fully restored model with a five-year warranty, well... here's your opportunity.
“Born out of Bang & Olufsen’s commitment to longevity,” the Classics initiative seeks to bring new life to legacy products. For
PlayStation 5 will play over 4,000 PS4 games, but some might 'exhibit errors or unexpected behavior'

In a nutshell: Sony says that the PlayStation 5 will be compatible with the "overwhelming majority" of PlayStation 4 titles. It estimates this number includes more than 4,000 games, but some games may have issues.
On Friday, Sony posted a PlayStation 5 support document detailing how PS5 backward compatibility will work. While it says that most PS4 games (over 4,000) will work on the new system, some may experience "errors or unexpected behavior." Additionally, even
Long-rumored AirTag trackers and AirPods Studio headphones won't be unveiled next week, analyst claims

What just happened? Apple’s AirTags, the long-rumored Tile-like tracking device from the tech titan, might not break cover at next week’s iPhone 12 media event as some have speculated. Instead, they are reportedly being put on the backburner until well into 2021. And it's bad news for those waiting on new Apple headphones, too.

Dual-reality horror game The Medium gets December 10 launch date
Editor's take: The Medium's dual realms open the door for some very creative gameplay. If successful, the mechanic could take the horror genre in a whole new direction. After years of zombies and cheap jump scares, a change of pace would be refreshing.
Bloober Team on Friday published a new teaser for The Medium, an upcoming psychological horror game from the Polish developer best known for their work on Layers of Fear, Observer and Blair Witch .
In The Medium , gamers will assume the role of Marianne
Alienware now sells the Aurora R11 gaming PC with a custom-built RTX 3080 or 3090

Editor's take: Considering the chaotic launch of the Nvidia 3080 and 3090 GPUs, it only seems a matter of time until Alienware runs out of its updated Aurora R11 prebuilt gaming PCs. It's apparently one of the very few available options on the market right now that lets players experience the latest and greatest from Nvidia and AMD. Alienware has even gone for a custom GPU design for the Aurora R11/R10 that can be specced with up to
The military is testing AR goggles for dogs

WTF?! While we're still waiting for virtual reality to take off, augmented reality is increasingly finding more use, especially in enterprise applications. It's also being utilized by the military—and not just for humans. A new trial involves combat dogs being fitted with AR goggles so soldiers can instruct them from a distance.
The technology is the work of a Seattle-based company called Command Sight and is part of a project for the Army Research Laboratory (ARL). The goggles give dogs visual cues
Corsair's latest MP400 m.2 NVMe SSD offers up to 8TB of QLC storage

In a nutshell: It's not bleeding edge storage, but Corsair's new PCIe 3.0-based MP400 series should still deliver a noticeable performance boost to PCs running SATA SSDs/HDDs. The MP400 drives use high-density 3D QLC NAND memory, which trades high endurance levels for less power consumption and better value to reach more consumers. It also allows for a capacious 8TB SKU that Corsair is now selling for $1,379.99
Jaguar Land Rover's active noise cancellation could make your drives more serene

Why it matters: Long car journeys where drivers are exposed to constant road noises can be irritating at best, dangerously fatiguing at worst. Not everyone wants to crank up the sound system to max, but Jaguar Land Rover has a better solution—active noise cancellation.
We've seen active noise cancellation in premium headphones for years now, and the vehicle version works in the same way; external sensors on each wheel detect and isolate noise before the opposite phase sound wave is played through the interior speakers.
