Having all your telecommuting equipment in one dedicated device is an enticing promise, which is probably why ring-light equipped webcams like the Razer Kiyo exist. But as someone who still attends work meetings with a headset, even the best webcams still leave me wanting a separate microphone. That leaves demand for a proper all-in-one device, which is at least one reason why the Movo WebMic HD Pro Kickstarter hit its $15,000 goal in less than three hours when it launched earlier today. Coming from audio equipment and smartphone recording accessory maker Movo , the WebMic HD Pro is essentially a cardioid condenser microphone (think the Blue Yeti or Razer Seiren ) with a built-in 1080p @ 30 fps camera and halo ring light. There’s also a detachable stand that’s supposed to double as a handheld grip for more stable video, plus a clamp for attaching it to a monitor or laptop. We don't often cover Kickstarter projects, because they’re just too volatile and prone … [Read more...] about All-in-One Device Combines Condenser Mic, Webcam, Ring Light

One of the world’s most popular and innovative computers officially launched on February 29, 2012. Nine years and 38 million units sold later, the Raspberry Pi powers a huge community of makers, students and businesses. What started as a small project, meant to increase applications for Cambridge University’s computer science program has become a global movement. Every serious tech enthusiast should own at least one Raspberry Pi or, if you’re like me, 30 Raspberry Pis. You can use one as a lightweight PC, a retro arcade machine or to power a variety of projects, from home security cameras to tic-tac-toe-playing robots , self-driving trash cans or streaming media servers .

The Raspberry Pi was originally developed to solve a very limited problem: the decreasing number of people applying to study computer science at Cambridge … [Read more...] about Raspberry Pi’s Ninth Birthday: 9 Things You Might Not Know

Gamers and video editors all know the importance of a good graphics card.

Following a report of Gigabyte canceling its GeForce RTX 3090 Turbo , other graphics card manufacturers have also delisted their GeForce RTX 3090 graphics cards with blower designs. In an age with fancy shrouds and flashy RGB lighting, graphics cards with blower designs are hard to find. But as old as it may be, this kind of cooler still has a place in modern systems, especially those SFF builds where the graphics card's heat needs to be expelled out the back rather than circulating inside a cramped case. But system integrators had found another use for the GeForce RTX 3090 blower models, which could be the main reason this cancellation. A previous report from China claims that system integrators were incorporating Gigabyte's GeForce RTX 3090 Turbo into their server products. It certainly wasn't good for business, at least from Nvidia's perspective. The chipmaker might not have been too happy finding out that vendors are preferring the GeForce RTX 3090 over some of its more … [Read more...] about GeForce RTX 3090 Blower GPUs Vanish Into Thin Air
