Intel’s ‘Ghost Canyon’ NUC will fit a full-sized desktop GPU

[ad_1] The last NUC we reviewed, codenamed Hades Canyon, featured Intel’s unique collaboration with AMD’s Radeon graphics.

Intel says upcoming 10th-gen H-series CPUs will surpass 5GHz

[ad_1] Intel made a bold statement today at CES: It’s surpassing the 5GHz barrier with its upcoming Core i7 H-series 10th generation processors, which are headed to notebooks. That’ll make them even faster than its current top-of-the-line Core i9 H-series chip, the 9980HK, which maxes out at 5GHz. Sure, it’s not too surprising that Intel […]

Samsung Galaxy Book Flex Alpha hands-on: Cheaper, with few sacrifices

[ad_1] I was concerned that to drop the few hundred dollars, Samsung would have had to sacrifice build quality and deliver a machine that felt cheaper. But once I picked up the Flex Alpha here at CES 2020, I was relieved. The laptop is just as premium to the touch as its costlier siblings, with […]

Olive Union Smart Ear hands-on: A stylish hearing device with tradeoffs

[ad_1] The Smart Ear ($249) is sold as a single unit, and appears to be aimed at those who struggle in noisy situations or just want an occasional assist with their hearing. Which is to say, it’s an “amplifier” rather than a hearing aid. It comes in either black or white, pairs with your phone […]

GoPro Karma drones are unable to fly due to a possible GPS flaw

[ad_1] The company told Engadget that “engineering is actively troubleshooting” the problem, but didn’t have more to share. This might be a product of the GPS rollover flaw that has affected numerous devices.

Greetings from CES 2020! | Engadget

[ad_1] For Engadget editors, life is just a series of moments while you wait for CES to come back around again. Sometimes it almost feels like we never left. But we did. And now we’re back. CES 2020 is about to get started in sunny (and slightly smelly) Las Vegas. As always there will be […]

SmartTools’ updated weight lifting cuffs are cheaper and more durable

[ad_1] For years, physical rehabilitation centers have used BFR to help people build muscle or reduce muscle loss after things like surgery and accidents. The idea is that by restricting blood as it’s leaving a muscle (while allowing oxygenated blood to flow to the muscle unimpeded), you can increase metabolic stress and cellular swelling, leading […]

Samsung sheds light on its ‘artificial human’ project

[ad_1] A series of videos unearthed by Reddit users and compiled by Good Content (below) appears to offer more detail. In at least one case, Samsung appears to have captured an actor’s likeness and voice to use those as the starting point for a Neon avatar — the appearances and expressions are realistic because they’re […]
