Roto explains "experience total VR immersion with the Roto VR Explorer, a motorized chair that turns 360 degrees with your head movements and rumbles with game audio".

There are some rather cool features with the rumbling chair from Roto made for the Meta Quest 3 and next-gen VR experiences, with the chair turning around 360 degrees as you turn your head, a powerful motor that turns at 21 revs per minute, and haptic feedback that's rumbled through your entire body.

Microsoft will soon remove the 32GB size limit for FAT32 partitions in Windows 1, upgrading to volumes of up to 2TB... something that has plagued Windows for close to 30 years now.

The Windows team said in a blog post on Thursday: "When formatting disks from the command line using the format command, we've increased the FAT32 size limit from 32GB to 2TB". The limit is only being removed from the format command line right now, so we'll still see the existing format dialog box that will have the 32GB limit for FAT32 partitions, unless Microsoft updates this Windows feature in the future.

Microsoft first put the 32GB limit on FAT32 partitions during the development of Windows 95, which was over 30 years ago now. Dave Plummer is a former Windows developer said earlier this year that he was the man responsible for the format dialog box that hasn't been updated in 30 years now, and that he was the person who picked the 32GB limit for FAT32.

MSI will be revealing some of its next-gen Z890 motherboards at Gamescom 2024 next week, with a brief tease of its new Z890 MAG Tomahawk motherboard.

MSI's new fleet of Z890 motherboards will roll out with the new LGA 1851 socket, ready to handle Intel's next-gen Core Ultra 200 series "Arrow Lake" processors. MSI has already teased two of its upcoming Z890 motherboards at Computex 2024 earlier this year, with the Z890 MAG PRO and Z890 MPG EDGE motherboards.

The new Z890 MAG Tomahawk will be a new mid-range Z890 motherboard offering from MSI, and we should have more details of this new motherboard next week. As for details on the Core Ultra 200 series "Arrow Lake-S" desktop processors, we're still waiting for Intel to announce a release date for them.

Windows 11's update for August is reportedly slowing down some PCs, and in other cases it's failing to install, plus for gamers it's interfering with Valorant's anti-cheat system.

Windows updates failing to install is hardly a new phenomenon - it happens more often than it should - and Windows Latest flags up that there are various complaints from Windows 11 users about patch KB5041585 refusing to play ball.

The tech site observes that it has received complaints from readers about being unable to install the cumulative update, and there are posts in Microsoft's Feedback Hub too.

CAMM2 memory modules are on their way, and will debut inside of desktop PCs in the near future, with MSI highlighting some of the benefits of CAMM2 memory. Check out their video below:

JEDEC has already made the new CAMM2 standard official, with CAMM2 memory modules for desktops marking a HUGE shift from traditional SO-DIMM memory that we've seen previously. CAMM2 was designed to save space on mobile platforms like laptops and smartphones, but the PC industry sees the huge potential of CAMM2 beyond just laptops and smartphones.

MSI, ASUS, and ASRock have teased their first motherboards with CAMM2 support, and now MSI went into much more detail about CAMM2 memory modules during their recent Insider Livestream. MSI points out that unlike SO-DIMM memory which has SI (System Interface) stubs embedded within the PCB of the motherboard which reduces the platform capabilities for bus speed, CAMM2's interface is connected directly to the CAMM2 module. Both the inner and outer connections of the IMC are connected to CAMM2 modules, which provide a path to higher signal integrity, and higher performance.

Apple hasn't officially announced anything regarding the new iPhone 16 line-up. The only thing known is that Apple Intelligence is going to be a big part of the new generation.

It's highly anticipated that Apple will officially unveil the new iPhone generation in September. Ahead of the purported unveiling, we have gotten a leak of what appears to be dummy units of the new generation. Leaker Sonny Dickson shared a new image, which shows what appears to be iPhone 16 Pro Max models, and what jumps out is the gold-bronze color.

Previous reports mentioned white, black, and the Natural Titanium model, but this is the first look at a gold or a sandy-brown iPhone. Additionally, rumors previously stated Apple is planning on removing the Blue Titanium color. It should be noted that since these are dummy units there is still the possibility none of the color variants seen in the above images will make it to final production.

In April, Earth was hit by a huge solar storm that caused auroras to light up the night sky as far south as Arizona.

Auroras are caused by solar particles interacting with Earth's magnetic field in the upper atmosphere, and now NASA has revealed some more spectacular than incredible colors that occurred during the event. According to the NASA Sun & Space X account, for a brief period of time, a "two-way highway" formed between the Sun and Earth. This rare anomaly was caused by the Sun's coronal mass ejection (CME), a blast of solar particles traveling slower than waves called Alfvén waves.

Typically, the opposite occurs, but during the April 24 event, NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft recorded the CME traveling slower than the Alfvén waves moving through solar plasma. Bow shocks are shockwaves created when the solar wind blows on a planet's magnetic field, and during the April 24 event, the bow shock temporarily disappeared, causing charged particles to spew back at the Sun for approximately two hours.

HighPoint has just unveiled the industry's first 16 x M.2 Ports NVMe RAID AIC: its new SSD7749M2.

The new HighPoint SSD7749M2 features 16 independent M.2 device channels, powered with its in-house PCIe Gen4 Switch Architecture and NVMe cooling technology, the new SSD7749M2 RAID AICs are capable of pushing an incredible 28GB/sec of read speeds, and up to 128TB of client-class NVMe M.2 SSD storage.

The beauty of this new AIC card is that its innovative, dual-sided, vertically-aligned M.2 loading trays can host up to 16 x 2280 form factor M.2 SSDs onto just a single side of the PCB. With its dual-slot design, it's not much bigger than a high-end, dual-slot graphics card.

At TweakTown, when we look at keyboard and mouse combos, it's usually the pairing of some high-end gear, a mechanical keyboard with high-quality keycaps, and an enthusiast mouse with the sort of sensor tailor-made for playing Counter-Strike at the professional level. However, for those who are straight-up professionals working in an office, the new Dell Silent Keyboard and Mouse (KM555) could be of interest.

And that comes down to them being silent, creating no or inaudible sound. This is ideal for the modern office or even remote home work environment, as no one in a meeting will be able to hear you clack away on your keyboard or click through a presentation on a Zoom call with your mouse.

The Dell Silent Keyboard and Mouse (KM555) combo is also wireless, supporting Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz. Dual-mode features allow both to run simultaneously and 'Smart Connect' can detect which connection to use. You'll never need to worry about power, as both the keyboard and mouse offer up to 36 months of battery life.

A team of researchers have used NASA and the European Space Agency's James Webb Space Telescope, the world's most powerful space telescope, to attempt to uncover the mystery surrounding how fast the universe is expanding.

Scientists have been battling to solve what is widely referred to as the "Hubble tension," which is the conflicting answer between the two methods that can be used to measure the expansion rate of the universe. Observations of distant supernovae suggest a lower rate of expansion, while measurements of cosmic objects closer indicate a higher rate of expansion.

The lack of a unified result causes the "Hubble tension," which refers to the astronomer Edwin Hubble, who discovered distant objects appear to be moving away from Earth faster than closer objects. For example, when measuring the Cosmic Microwave Background, the signature leftover after the Big Bang, astronomers land on a Hubble constant of 67.4 kilometers per second per megaparsec while measuring the brightness of nearby galaxies, the number jumps up to 74 kilometers per second per megaparsec.

Black Myth: Wukong is out in a few days, and to the developer's surprise, dropping a PC Benchmark Tool for the game, Jak and Kosta take a look at how it runs in 4K on a GeForce RTX 4090 and what the game's full ray tracing visuals (or path tracing) look like running on a GeForce RTX 4090.

Surprisingly, Black Myth: Wukong is not the only impressive piece of ray-tracing and PC graphics this week as a new mod for id Software's iconic shooter from 1994 has left the TT Show duo speechless. Doom II: Ray Traced is a remarkable version of the game that runs on the GZDOOM version, adding full path-traced lighting to deliver an incredible reimagining of one of the very first, first-person shooter games.

This week's episode also examines the latest controversies in the CPU world, from Intel finally releasing its new microcode update and fix to its partners that it says stops 13th and 14th Gen CPUs from crashing and getting damaged and a new vulnerability that is affecting hundreds of millions of AMD Ryzen and server CPUs.

A team of scientists at the University of California have created a brain-computer interface (BCI) that is capable of restoring a form of speech for a man suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's disease.

The 45-year-old man named Casey Harrel suffers from ALS, which causes a loss of muscle control that can severely impact the clarity of speech. Harrel is now able to communicate his thoughts through the BCI, which converts his brain signals into words that are then "read" by the computer and spoken out loud in real time. Moreover, Harrel's BCI is designed to sound like his own voice before the disease influence how it sounded.

How does it work? The BCI was implanted into the region of the brain that is responsible for speech, and with its 256 electrodes, it is capable of analyzing brain activity sent to that region of the brain and then converting it into readable data for the computer to interpret. More specifically, the BCI converts brain activity into what is called a "phoneme" or a "syllable or the unit of speech."

When it comes to modding PC games, Bethesda's Skyrim is right up there as the one game players and developers keep coming back to. With the ability to create new games, expansions, and overhaul every little detail - one way to make the 2011 original look brand-new is by installing several visual mods.

Recently, we presented a video from YouTube creator Digital Dreams showcasing Skyrim running with over 3100 mods, including the fantastic Complete Ray Tracing Reshade mod. The result is stunning, especially when running on a GeForce RTX 4090. Well, Digital Dreams is back, and this time, we can see the same modded-out version of Skyrim running in 8K.

8K with ray-tracing is no small feat, even with a GeForce RTX 4090, which is why this footage uses the free Lossless Scaling app on Steam. Lossless Scaling is a version of Frame Generation that works with every game and can deliver impressive results. For the best results, you'll want to watch this on a big-screen 8K TV.

Skyblivion, a complete remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion in the The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim engine, is on track for a 2025 release. As part of a new gameplay presentation, the Skyblivion developers have presented two quests from the original game set around the town and city of Chorrol. In the video, we see the new visuals, environments, character models, and original voices from Oblivion.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion dates back to 2006, and as a game that is almost twenty years old, the visuals are now very dated. Skyblivion looks terrific, from the environment to the buildings to the trees, grass, and character models. As someone who played Oblivion back in the day on PC - and then once more on the Xbox 360 console, it's strange to hear these familiar voices again.

In the town of Chorral, we see the Mages Guild and one of the quests, Fingers of the Mountain. This quest has the player retrieve a unique book, which they can return to the quest giver or a secondary character. It's not all that exciting, but it's a clear indicator that development on the ambitious Skyblivion remake is progressing well.

Heavy lay the crown is a great way to describe of the Call of Duty franchise, as the first-person-shooter continues to top charts in terms of popularity, but is constantly criticized.

One of the biggest griefs players have with Call of Duty is the sheer file size it requires, which has been a problem since 2022 when the decision to couple Call of Duty: Warzone with each new Call of Duty title within what is now called the Call of Duty HQ launcher. Unfortunately, with each new update, the COD HQ launch only gained more in size, getting to the point where Call of Duty was taking up the majority of space on hard drives and SSDs.

However, that is all about to change as Call of Duty has explained in a new blog post that it will be rolling out an update on August 21 as part of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's Season 5 Reloaded update that will be decoupling the download of Warzone from any Call of Duty title. Players will be able to opt-in to the Warzone download when downloading a new Call of Duty game or simply download Warzone at any point.

Microsoft has been pushing Windows 10 users to adopt Windows 11 since the new operating system was released in 2021, but the Redmond company has been hitting the marketing campaign especially hard since it announced Windows 10 support will be ending in October, 2025.

Windows 10 is still by a large margin the world's most popular operating system, according to data from Statcounter, and since the end-of-support announcement, Microsoft has been rolling out new advertisements in Windows 10 to push users over to Windows 11. Some of these advertisements came in the form of full-screen ads. Additionally, Microsoft has begun integrating more advertisements within Windows 10, which has caused many users to express negative feedback about the changes.

Microsoft has now officially recognized this feedback from both Windows 10 and 11 users, writing, "To honor our user's feedback, these invitations will no longer begin with the April 2024 monthly security update. We will share a new timeline in the coming months." Microsoft initially planned on rolling out these full-screen advertisements for Windows 11 to more swaths of Windows 10 users, but Redmon conceded in a Microsoft 365 advisory post that it will pause Windows 11 ads for managed Windows 10 devices.

It's always nice to see researchers and technology making progress in the field of renewables, especially in areas that aren't commonly thought of as big contributors to greenhouse gases.

The construction industry isn't the first area that comes to mind when someone mentions greenhouse gases, but perhaps unsurprisingly, it contributes quite a lot. The UN Environment Programme estimates that the buildings and construction sector is by far the largest emitter of greenhouse gases, accounting for a staggering 37% of global emissions.

To reduce global emissions, researchers from the University of Tokyo penned a new process of making renewable concrete bricks out of old building materials and CO2 from the air. The team first revealed the process in 2021, and since then, it has significantly improved. The renewable concrete bricks were made out of demolished school building material, which was grounded down into a fine powerder before it was then mixed with CO2 over three months.

A new study that has been published in the peer-reviewed journal Science has detailed the origins of the asteroid that caused the Chicxulub Crater, or the impact crater left behind by asteroid that ended the rein of the dinosaurs.

The Chicxulub Crater is located off the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico and is believed to be caused by an asteroid 66 million years ago that measured six miles wide. The impact was catastrophic for life on Earth, causing a mass extinction-level event that wiped out the already declining population of dinosaurs. Researchers have penned a new study that has examined the origins of the dino-killing asteroid, tracing back its origin to the far outskirts of the solar system beyond the biggest planet in the solar system, Jupiter.

Mario Fischer-GÜdde, who researches the origin of asteroids and planets at the University of Cologne in Germany, spoke to Mashable and said the dino-killing asteroid was a "C-type asteroid," which means its composition was mostly carbon. Notably, C-type asteroids are the most common variety of asteroid, accounting for 75% of all known asteroids.
