MeganeX superlight: a new PC VR headset revealed at CES 2024

01 Jan 2024  |  www.provideocoalition.com  |  English  |  Virtual Reality

Shiftall announces the MeganeX superlight, a new PC VR headset at CES 2024, which is 50% lighter than its predecessor and lacks inside-out tracking. The new model retains the 5.2K HDR OLED panels but omits several features to reduce weight and cost. Despite these changes, the need for additional SteamVR Base Stations may offset the price reduction. The MeganeX superlight is positioned as a competitor to the Bigscreen Beyond headset, which is priced at $1000.

FDA panel announces that oral phenylephrine does not work, here are the alternatives

13 Sept 2023  |  es.theepochtimes.com  |  Spanish  |  Pharmaceuticals

The FDA has determined that oral phenylephrine, a common ingredient in over-the-counter cold medications, is ineffective as a decongestant. If the FDA follows the advisory panel's recommendation to remove phenylephrine's GRASE designation, products like Sudafed PE and Tylenol Cold+Head may be discontinued or reformulated. The decision stems from findings that oral phenylephrine is metabolized in the intestine, reducing its efficacy. However, nasal sprays and drops containing phenylephrine remain effective. Alternatives for nasal congestion relief include natural remedies such as nettle leaves, saline nasal sprays, steam therapy, and lavender oil.

Harry Potter fan? This could be your last chance to ride the iconic Hogwarts Express

05 Dec 2023  |  www.euronews.com  |  English  |  Entertainment & Celebrity

The Jacobite Steam Train, known to Harry Potter fans as the Hogwarts Express, is at risk of being discontinued due to safety regulations enforced by the Office of Rail and Road (ORR). The ORR's door-locking rules require central locking systems, which West Coast Railways (WCR) finds too costly, potentially affecting the train's operation from March next year. Despite legal challenges and a temporary exemption expiring in November, tickets for the 2024 season are still on sale. The train's route offers stunning views and attracts numerous visitors.

Google loses monopoly case to Fortnite maker Epic Games

05 Oct 2023  |  BBC  |  English  |  Technology

Epic Games won a US court battle against Google, with a jury ruling that Google operated an illegal monopoly through its app store. The case, initiated in 2020, accused Google of making its app store dominant over rivals and imposing high transaction fees on Android app developers. Despite the defeat, Google plans to challenge the outcome, defending its business model as competitive and beneficial. The ruling could lead to more app stores on Android devices and reduced revenue for Google from in-app purchases. Epic Games' CEO Tim Sweeney welcomed the verdict, which may give developers more control over app distribution and monetization.
