Dutch startup Gamgee has launched a crowdfunding campaign for a homesecuritysystem that detects physical intruders using your existing Wi-Fi system. Using a home mapping app and artificial intelligence, Gamgee’sWi-Fi Home Alarmis claimed to offer precision protection by ‘body printing’ the household’s trusted people and pets. Alarms can be configured to detect body prints with unrecognized mass, gait, or movement signatures, thus triggering an alarm. As you can see in the video above, Gamgee’s tech promises to bring new meaning to the term ‘Wi-Fi security’ in the home thanks to its physical intrusion technology....

Are you in the Halloween spirit yet? If not, you better buckle up because these hair-raisingRaspberry Piprojects are sure to inspire your inner mad scientist — or at least your inner maker. We’ve come across some really cool Halloween projects this year and we want to share them with our readers. Depending on how determined you are, you’ve still got time to throw something cool together. We share links when possible to build guides as well as parts lists so you can make them yourself or at least something similar....

AfterWestern Digitalannounced its 2Tb 3D QLC NAND components in mid-June, it was a matter of time before its manufacturing partner Kioxia followed suit and revealed its 2Tb 3D QLC devices, which it did today. Unlike Western Digital, Kioxia shared more details about these 256GB 3D QLC NAND components, which look like they can be used to build high-performance and high-capacity drives. Kioxia’s 2Tb 3D QLC NAND devices rely on the company’s 218-layer BiCS8 process technology and boast an interface speed of 3,600 MT/s, making them some of the world’s fastest flash memory components....

A research team at theSwiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EFPL)developed a 2D quantum cooling system that allowed it to reduce temperatures to 100 millikelvins by converting heat into electrical voltage. Very low temperatures are crucial for quantum computing, as quantum bits (qubits) are sensitive to heat and must be cooled down to less than 1K. Even the thermal energy generated by the electronics needed to run the quantum computer has been known to impact the performance of qubits....

We have all zoomed in using our touchpad or keyboard shortcuts. However, very few know that zooming in or out is possible using a mouse too. Indeed, we all have scrolled up and down using the scroll wheel. But it’s not just limited to that. You’d be surprised to know we canchange the wheel’s functionto zoom in or out. Regarding the same, we are here to help you with how to zoom in using a mouse....

“Virtual machine disk consolidation is needed” can pop up when merging multiplevirtual diskfiles on the VMware vSphere Client. Basically, this is a message informing you to perform the snapshot consolidation manually. Taking snapshots on your virtual machinecreates delta disks, and all the changes are stored here. With more snaps, the delta disk file size starts to increase, which can negatively hamper the performance. To prevent such an issue,VMware vSphere Clientasks you to perform disk consolidation....

Running numerous applications simultaneously increases your RAM usage. you may lower thisbyclosing unnecessary applicationsfrom the foreground and the background. Applications, like your browsers, might also use more memory than required.Removing extensionsand usingbrowsers that use less RAMare some other options. Also, note thatmemory usage increases during Windows updates. So, it’s best toschedule them. you may even enableSmart BoostinMicrosoft’s PC Manager. This automatically lowers RAM usage by clearing all temporary files. Now, let’s dive into how you may lower RAM usage in greater detail....

If your computer can’t detect any input/output audio devices, it will show “No speakers or headphones are plugged in” error message. Depending on your Windows version, you may get the message,“No audio device is installed”or“No Audio Output Device is installed”instead. In such cases,run the audio troubleshooteror look out forconnection issueswith the speaker or headphone. If you have properly connected them,update,reinstallorrollback the audio drivers. you may also check for the audio device and your motherboard’s audio controller forany damage....

Once popular messaging service ICQ (short for I Seek You) will finally shut its operations on June 26, almost 28 years since its launch in 1996. The messaging platform peaked at nine million users and had 2.5 million daily active users. The number of users it was able to have globally was remarkable at the time, given that most users were on dial-up connections and DSL internet was brand new and limited to a handful of countries....

Acer may be a relatively new entrant into the world of graphics card, but it’s quickly expanding its offerings. Today, Acer is expanding its GPU lineup with four newRadeon-based graphics cards, including one based on AMD’s latest Radeon RX 7600 XT GPU.The first new card is the Nitro AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT OC. AMD officiallyannounced the RX 7600 XTearlier this morning, and it uses the same Navi 33 GPU leveraged in the Radeon RX 7600....

Alienware is typically known for sci-fi focused, spaceship-inspired designs. But with its new Aurora laptops, theDellsubsidiary is going for a bit more subtlety. In time for PAX East, Alienware is launching the Alienware 16 Aurora and Alienware 16X Aurora, systems that blend understated (well, for Alienware) designs with gaming power. It feels like the successor to last year’sAlienware m16 R2, which dialed down the gaming looks and added a “stealth mode” for quiet performance and plain lighting – and that feature is coming back with the Auroras....

Prominent hardware leakermomomo_usjust posted on X (formerly Twitter) the prices of the upcoming X870 and X870E motherboards from Asus. With the launch of the 800-series AMD chipsets just around the corner, with some speculating that it will happen on September 30, distributors and retailers likely already know how much these boards will cost. However, it seems that momomo_us discovered the prices on an overseas retailer — likely from Europe — as the prices are set in Euros....
