Samsung announced a mysterious new monitor at CES 2024 called The Link — and even though it wasn’t seen in person, they looked absolutely fascinating in the photo that was shared. Very little information was given about them, but here’s what we do know: The Link monitors are “the world’s thinnest and lightest 4K 32-inch LED monitors,” and can “daisy-chain” together using pogo pins. That means connecting these monitors together would be completely wireless. The problem Samsung is attempting to solve is to make the display in multi-monitor setups less “uneven” and “mismatched.” Samsung says you can connect “as many…

Beirut airport on Sunday came under a cyberattack, Lebanon’s state news agency said, with footage shared by local media showing anti-Hezbollah messages had replaced screen displays at its terminal. Hezbollah has exchanged near-daily cross-border fire with its arch foe Israel since war with Hamas broke out on October 7, with the Lebanese movement saying it was acting in support of its Palestinian ally in Gaza. Media reports said the airport message urged the powerful Iran-backed group Hezbollah not to “drag the country into war”. Lebanon’s National News Agency said “the cyberattack on the departure and arrival screens at the airport…

Many families in Dubai are shifting homes due to increasing rents in certain established neighbourhoods of the city. A considerable number of families and individuals in the emirate shifted to more spacious houses with gardens and outdoor features during a period of declining rents, triggered by the pandemic.

Top oil exporter Saudi Arabia on Sunday cut the February price of its flagship Arab Light crude to Asian customers to the lowest level in 27 months, a company statement showed, amid competition from rival suppliers and concerns about supply overhang. Saudi Aramco slashed the official selling price (OSP) for February-loading Arab Light to Asia by $2 a barrel from January to $1.50 a barrel over Oman/Dubai quotes, a level last seen for November 2021. The price cut, the biggest in 13 months, is in line with market expectations, as refiners called for competitive prices from Saudi Arabia comparing to…

Samsung is gearing up to release two new QD-OLED gaming monitors at CES 2024. We already knew about the 2024 Odyssey OLED G8 and Odyssey OLED G6 thanks to an announcement from Samsung last week, but I wasn’t expecting to be so impressed by them. It’s Samsung’s first attempt at a traditional 16:9 QD-OLED monitor after the excellent Odyssey OLED G8 and Odyssey OLED G9 last year, and Samsung is coming out of the gates swinging. If you missed the announcement, there are two monitors here. The Odyssey OLED G8 is a 32-inch display with a 4K resolution and a…

NASA’s Juno spacecraft recently made a close flyby of the solar system’s most volcanic body, the Jovian moon of Io. During the flyby, the spacecraft came within 1,000 miles of Io, which is the closest any craft has come to the moon within the last 20 years. During its flyby, the spacecraft snapped images using its JunoCam instrument, and some of those images are now publicly available. The JunoCam instrument aboard our #JunoMission acquired six images of Jupiter's moon Io during its close encounter today. This black-and-white view was taken at an altitude of about 1,500 miles (2,500 kilometers). More…

Brazilians paid their last respects Sunday to football legend Mario Zagallo, after the four-time World Cup-winning player and coach died at age 92, the final member of one of the country’s greatest footballing generations. A steady stream of mourners — dressed in black, the yellow of the Brazilian national team or the colors of the clubs where Zagallo played and coached — filed past his coffin at the headquarters of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) in Rio de Janeiro. On display near the lace-draped coffin and giant wreaths of flowers were football-mad Brazil’s record five World Cup trophies. Zagallo, a…

There are a lot of gaming laptop companies out there, and it can often be a bit difficult to discern a good deal from a bad one that isn’t saving you much. Luckily, the Legion Pro 7i Gen 8 is a solid gaming laptop, and while Lenovo does sometimes tend to overprice their MSRP of laptops, this deal is pretty excellent compared to the market. It’s been discounted down to just $1,780 from $2,300, which makes it an excellent mid-range gaming laptop with a solid GPU that’s worth grabbing if you don’t want to spend thousands on something bulky. Why…
