[ad_1] If you’re going to get a PS4 at this stage, the Pro is what you want. On top of being 4K-capable (though not for Blu-ray discs), it simply offer more performance and visual quality than the standard system. You can buy this knowing that PS4 titles will run as well as possible, and the […]

Oculus Go is on sale for $120 at Amazon for Cyber Monday
[ad_1] The same caveats apply. The Go is limited to tracking head movements, not body movements like the Oculus Quest, and the lone remote is relatively simple. You’ll want to pass if you dream of playing Beat Saber. We found the Go ideal for basic apps and videos, however. It’s easy to use, comfortable and […]
Engadget readers can get DJI’s Osmo Action 4K for just $249
[ad_1] For that, you get features like 4K video at 60 fps, HDR (a feature missing on the Hero 7 Black), 12-megapixel photos and very effective electronic stabilization. What’s more, the Osmo Action 4K has similar resolutions and quality to the camera on DJI’s Mavic drone, so it’s easy to match up both cameras on […]
Apple’s tap-and-go Express payments come to London public transport
[ad_1] Apple’s Express Mode can now be used on all Transport for London (TfL) services, including buses, trams and the underground system. Users only need to tap their phone or Apple Watch against the yellow card reader to pay for their journey. Apple Pay typically uses biometric data like Touch ID or Face ID to […]
Facebook’s new data tool lets you transfer your media to Google Photos
[ad_1] A new feature allows users to transfer their Facebook photos and videos to another online service, beginning with Google Photos. It comes as part of the Data Transfer Project, an agreement between Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Twitter to make it super easy to transfer information between services.

Chinese companies want to help shape global facial recognition standards
[ad_1] The report details how Chinese companies including ZTE, Dahua and China Telecom are proposing standards for facial recognition to the UN’s International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the body responsible for global technical standards in the telecommunication industry. Usually, the standards set by the ITU are technical in nature, but human rights campaigners say the proposals […]
Europe’s space agency approves the Hera anti-asteroid mission
[ad_1] Hera will carry two CubeSats that can fly extremely close to the asteroid’s surface before touching down. Those briefcase-sized spacecraft will act like drones, capturing vital data about the impact crater and giving scientists data including the mass of the asteroid that will help them deduce its composition. The aim, ESA said, is to […]
Astronomers find stellar black hole so large it shouldn’t exist
[ad_1] The team used China’s Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) to find stars orbiting objects that are seemingly invisible — a technique that had been proposed back in 1783, but hadn’t really been possible until recently. They then used both the US’ Keck I telescope and Spain’s Gran Telescopio Canarias to determine […]
China now requires face scans to sign up for phone service
[ad_1] There are privacy issues beyond that, too. China is known to use facial recognition to track and suppress ethnic minorities, and also uses it against virtually everyone to spot travelers and cars that are on a state-run blacklist. It’s not clear that China will get rid of face scans after the verification process, potentially […]
TCL’s 65-inch 6 Series 4K TV drops to $700 at Best Buy
[ad_1] Most notably, the TV’s built-in audio processing can introduce significant delays if you’re passing content through the set to a speaker system. Beta software has improved that somewhat, but you’re probably best off connecting game consoles and other lag-sensitive gear directly to those speakers. The TV’s legs are placed at the very edges of […]
