What just happened? As the coronavirus pandemic continues to ravage the globe, it's become an all-hands-on-deck situation for corporate entities. Even tech companies that have very little involvement with the medical field have been chipping in to help doctors, nurses, and hospitals as a whole get through this difficult time. Soon, that aid will come from Apple, in the form of a donation of a whopping 10 million medical masks.

In a nutshell: Second Life developer Linden Lab has thrown in the towel on Sansar, the spiritual successor to Second Life. The social platform isn’t disappearing, however, as San Francisco-based technology company Wookey Project Corp. has taken ownership of the asset effective immediately.

The technologies required to make high resolution, low input lag monitors used to result in poor color and image quality, but that's no longer the case. MSI is launching 3 new gaming monitors that sport IPS panels and won't break the bank.

Why it matters: With the coronavirus disruption delaying hardware and software releases, some analysts had speculated that the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X wouldn’t make their “holiday 2020” launch dates. But Microsoft’s CEO says fans of its machines shouldn’t worry.
