- Tachyon launches OPS and OPS HD helmet cameras, not as durable but way more tiny
We can’t say we’ve ever been particularly impressed by the video quality delivered by the Tachyon line of helmet cameras, but they’re a good choice for those who need a recorder that can take one heck of a beating — if you don’t mind some extra bulk. That fat has been banished in the new, slimmer OPS line which will be available in two flavors: a $90 VGA base unit and a slightly higher-end HD (720p) one for $140. If you’re keeping track that’s the same as the earlier XC and XC HD models, but these aren’t waterproof like those. The SD model is less than an inch wide and 2.252-inches long, while the HD model looks to be roughly $.25 longer. Each camera is square in profile, meaning it can be rotated in four orientations on its mount, or flipped around backward. And yes, just like the XC cameras, Tahyon will be releasing a range of mounts for all your extreme endeavors, including shotguns, picatinny rails, and one that looks like an overgrown tie clip. It should be perfect for when things get fancy down at the range.

You aren’t looking at a retro microSD card reader, you’re looking at an Atari-compatible serial disk drive that just happens to use microSD in lieu of 5.25-inch floppies. In a Zork inspired fit of nostalgia (we’ve all been there), hardware modder Rossum paired up an Atari connector with a LPC1114 microcontroller, capable of emulating up to eight Atari drives, managed by a custom, auto-booting app. The whole package is neatly packed in to a tiny 3D printed replica of the original Atari 810 disk drive, and is available for sale never — but don’t let that stop you: Rossum’s schematics are free for the taking. The word’s biggest little Atari drive is just a DIY away.[Thanks, Francesco F.]

Rossum | Email this | Comments - Screen Grabs: Kyocera Echo goes back to the alternate-reality future in Fringe
Screen Grabs chronicles the uses (and misuses) of real-world gadgets in today’s movies and TV. Send in your sightings (with screen grab!) to screengrabs at engadget dot com.
We liked the Kyocera Echo quite a bit, but perhaps the dual-screen tabletphone concept is a mite ahead of its time — here it is fifteen years from now, helping the Fringe team pull up security blueprints for an opera house. Or perhaps Astrid has become a vintage technology connoisseur? We have to admit it’s a step up from the Streak seismograph, but we can’t help but frown — we wouldn’t be caught dead running Froyo in the year 2026, after all.
[Thanks, Prince C.]

YouTube is finally rolling out Shorts - its answer to TikTok
YouTube has started rolling out its new feature Shorts - it is a platform for short videos, shot in portrait orientation, and is an obvious attempt to curb TikTok and its growing influence online. Those in the United States have started receiving the feature, and the global rollout is expected soon. Currently, Shorts is still in Beta, so not all American users will get it after an update of their application. The company is likely doing some A/B testing, but given the fact YouTube has been working on Shorts for the past 12 months, the feature’s stable version should be right around...
OnePlus teases an announcement for March 8
It’s about time we get a release date for the OnePlus 9 series and the company’s official site has teased a big announcement for March 8. Before you get your hopes too high, this will likely be the date when we get the official launch date for the new OnePlus flagships and not their actual launch event. The short teaser only mentions that “Something new is on the horizon” and the page is titled Moonshot alluding to the launch of a spacecraft or in this case new phone lineup. We’ve already seen plenty of leaks regarding the OnePlus 9 series which specify three phones. The OnePlus...
Samsung Galaxy M12 is coming to India on March 11 with a surprise upgrade to a 90Hz screen
A little over a month after it was first unveiled the Samsung Galaxy M12 will go on sale in India. It already has a landing page on the local Amazon and Samsung pages. The search results on Samsung.com let it slip that we’ll see the 4GB and 6GB versions of the phone (the base 3/32GB configuration is nowhere to be seen). The launch is scheduled for March 11 at 12 noon, which is Thursday next week. It’s too early to talk about the price of the phone, but we can look at its closest relatives – the M11 launched at INR 15,000 (now down to INR 11,000), the current Galaxy A12 also started at INR...
Oppo Find X3 Pro launch date officially set for March 11
Oppo has sent a press release, confirming the launch date for its Find X3 Pro flagship. It will arrive on March 11 at an online event that will be live-streamed on YouTube. Our invitation came from Oppo India, with the company confirming the launch will start at 5 PM IST or 11:30 AM UTC/GMT. The message did not say anything we didn’t know so far - the Oppo Find X3 Pro will be powered by a Snapdragon 888 chipset and the phone will have a screen that “delivers excellence across resolution, screen refresh rate, and HDR, bringing users the clearest most accurate, smooth, and comfortable...
Samsung Galaxy A52 cameras detailed
