The reputation of some east Asian computer OEMs may be hurting this week after news of Asus laptops’ vulnerability to hackers comes so close to news that Huawei, too, had a serious security flaw in its flagship MateBook line of laptops. ZDNet reports that the Huawei PC Manager driver utility software that comes on MateBook laptops was vulnerable in a way that could allow attackers to gain escalated privileges in the computer. Successful exploitation may cause the attacker to execute malicious co

That’s the seemingly-revolutionary promise of Google Stadia, the search and phone giant’s game streaming play for the hearts and minds of gamers. Game streaming is an area of gaming filled with lofty promises and missed expectations, but built on genuinely exciting principles. If that sounds familiar, it’s because it’s the exact same principle that Google Stadia is built upon. Together, Gaikai and OnLive’s combined technologies would form the backbone of PlayStation Now, Sony’s own take on a gam

Bang & Olufsen has teamed up with premium luggage brand Rimowa to create a limited edition version of its popular Beoplay H9i noise-cancelling wireless headphones.

Garmin may be best known for its top-end running watches, but that doesn’t mean the company is averse to making smartwatches that suit everyday wear – and that’s the point of the Garmin Vivomove HR. Somewhere between smart and hybrid watch, the Vivomove HR is capable of tracking elements of your fitness such as heart rate and step count as well as smartphone notifications, and does it with a stylish look.

Huawei has just announced the Huawei P30 and Huawei P30 Pro, but a Lite model wasn’t launched alongside them.

NASA is considering an unmanned mission to explore deep below the surface of the moon, using a robot that would lower itself hundreds of feet into a lunar cave. As Smithsonian Magazine reports, Moon Diver will rappel 130 feet into the Sea of Tranquility, before dropping another 200 feet into a dark cavern. If approved, Moon Diver could launch as early as the mid-2020s. Fifty years later, we are going to dive down right into the middle of it.”Welcome to TechRadar’s Space Week – a celebration of s

At $129, the Plugable UD-CAM dock is more expensive than we’d expect, but you’re paying for product that can deliver 85W of power, comes with a VESA mount and has a power button. With that in mind, Plugable sent over its UD-CAM docking station for a quick spin. What separates this dock from the competition is that it is cheaper – $129 at Amazon – and much smaller, while offering power delivery. You will need the 100W PSU in order to get the docking station to work; there’s no “passive” mode yet.
