If you haven’t heard of Pimax, it’s probably because it’s virtual reality (VR) headsets have been out-of-reach for most consumers. With its most premium headset, the Pimax Vision 8K X starting at $1,299 for an 8K resolution experience, Pimax has been reserved for professional applications and hardcore VR enthusiasts. That’s about to change with today’s announcement of the entry-level Pimax Artisan VR

Thermaltake sometimes makes some weird products, and now at CES 2020 we're seeing a perfect example of that. For this show, the company has developed the new Flow RC240 and RC360 all-in-one CPU coolers, which also cool your system's RAM.

As you would expect, the RC240 is a 240mm liquid cooler and the RC360 is a 360mm unit that

A new collision attack against the SHA-1 hash function shows that SHA-1 attacks are getting significantly cheaper with each passing year and that it should no longer be used for software security. The new attack puts PGP and other software that uses SHA-1 in their authentication schemes at risk of being compromised.

From Shatters to Shambles

The first theoretical collision attack against SHA-1 was demonstrated back in 2005, but it was considered impractical due to the amount of resources it

Imagine your favorite smartphone apps blown up in front of your eyes to the size of a wall in augmented reality (AR) form. Now add the ability to interact with that app, make the window appear smaller or larger, move it around or even open another app, also in massive AR form, beside it. That’s exactly what I experienced when I tried out the glasses and their new UI, and with Real Light’s bright display this could be the most consumer

Facebook introduced Privacy Checkup, a tool meant to give people more control over the information they share with other Facebook users, in 2014. Yesterday the company finally gave the utility its first major update since that debut six years ago.

Privacy Checkup doesn't make it easier to control the information shared with Facebook itself. Instead, the tool is supposed to make it easier for people to figure out what they're sharing with other people using the social network, and to

It's difficult to know how well different VR headsets are selling, as most companies seem to actively avoid letting the public know exactly how their products have fared. Sony is an exception, though, and it showed that by announcing that it's sold more than 5 million PlayStation VR headsets during its CES 2020 press conference.

That's not a figure to scoff at, and Sony seems to be quite pleased with those numbers, too. The PSVR was already

Microsoft's next-generation Xbox Series X console was announced just a few weeks ago , and we didn't get a lot of information about the device at the time. So we got a little excited when we saw the upcoming console's backside connectivity during AMD's CES 2020 press conference, but it turns out that we shouldn't have been, because the renders that AMD showed on stage weren't actually legitimate.

The renders showed two USB

AMD announced the new FreeSync Premium and FreeSync Premium Pro labels to go along with the existing “FreeSync” technology yesterday. The company also said that it expects over 1,000 displays to be FreeSync-certified in January 2020.

FreeSync Premium

The FreeSync Premium specification includes requirements such as the display having a refresh rate of at least 120Hz and a resolution of at least 1920x1080. It will also incorporate low-

Arduino introduced at CES today the Portenta H7 with dual-core Arm Cortex-M7 and Cortex-M4 processors. It targets applications that require a decent amount of computing power but have tight power constraints. While initially targeting small businesses’ Internet of Things (IoT) projects, Arduino CEO Fabio Violante said he sees individual tech enthusiasts tinkering with it too.

Part of that is because at
