  • DJI drone owners looking to get a remote-controlled glimpse of their favorite Olympic skier had best stick to their local stream or broadcast. Throughout the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in PyeongChang, South Korea this month, drones manufactured by DJI will be restricted by no-fly zones from the opening ceremonies until the event ends. DJI implemented similar no-fly zones before the Democratic and Republican National Conventions and the G7 summit in Japan. For those games, NBC used “follow-me” dro

Motion Stills was built for editing video clips and GIFs. Unfortunately, you won’t see any Porgs or demogorgons in the Motion Stills app; it looks like that content is exclusive to the Pixel 2 .

  • But, a look back at a 2017 leak might illustrate what Huawei has in mind for its triple play of lenses. Its traditional duo of lenses at work in phones like the Huawei Mate 10 Pro already cover monochrome and RGB duties – so what’s left? A potentially great camera setupLooking back once again at the above tweet, the embedded photo makes a mention of 40 megapixels (MP).

  • It’s no surprise proxy servers have grown in popularity over the years. How proxy servers workEssentially, a proxy acts as a gateway between your browser and specific sites and services you’re accessing. However, when you use a proxy, you’re able to change your IP address, which in turn dictates which sites you’re able to access. While VPNs and proxy servers both allow you to access the web from a different location, a VPN is much more secure than a proxy server. With added security, better priv

  • Microsoft’s Surface Book impressed the hell out of us when it first launched, taking the quality we’d gotten used to from the Surface Pro lineup and stepping it up substantially. So, any deal that cuts 50% off the price off a Surface Book is worth a look. Normally, we’d expect to see a deal like this on a refurbished model, but this is for a new Surface Book. This deal is on a souped up Surface Book that includes a 6th-generation Intel Core i7 processor with 8GB of RAM and a beefier 256GB of sol

  • Manufactured by Analogue, the Super NT doesn’t just want to emulate SNES games, it wants to run them exactly as an original Super Nintendo would. At first glance, the Super NT is very similar to Nintendo’s own SNES Mini. While the original Analogue NT eventually had firmware released that allowed ROMs to be loaded from an SD card, it seems that, for the time being at least, the Super NT isn’t destined to get that same functionality. An original SNES, for better or for worseTechnically the Analog

A security researcher, Paulos Yibelo, discovered the bug which leaks bits of user data including the country in which they’re located, and their Wi-Fi network name, among other sensitive details. All this is obviously a hugely embarrassing flaw for a VPN service which is supposed to make the user more sec

The firm has already combed through some 1.5 million web apps to pick out a small selection of PWAs for initial testing. So what about the potential conflic

As was the case last year, tickets will be sold on a first-come first-served basis, and numbers will be limited.
