- 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.]

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.]

Google testing a new app called ‘Task Mate’ to crowdsource business information and voice recordings
As first reported by 9to5Google, a new app is being tested in a closed beta. The Google-made app is called “Task Mate” and it’s kind of like Google Opinion Rewards, but a bit more involved. Basically, Google Opinion rewards will passively ask question based on recent purchases, or the use of recent Google products like Gmail, Google Assistant, and YouTube. In exchange for answering these questions, you’re rewarded Google Play credit that can be used towards Play Store apps or subscriptions. Task mate takes it a step further and asks users to perform more involved tasks in exchange for a...
The Galaxy Note20 is 50% off at Google Fi for Black Friday, Note20 Ultra at $799.99
Generally speaking, people haven't reacted very amazingly to Samsung's $999 Galaxy Note20 (non-Ultra), judging its price in relation to all of its compromises compared to the Note20 Ultra. This is all quite understandable, so we're assuming Samsung hasn't sold a lot of these. Well, Google is coming to the rescue right now - or specifically, Google Fi, the search giant's carrier arm. For Black Friday, it's offering you a Note20 for just $499.99. That's 50% off, and at this price, the phone is clearly more enticing than if you had to pay the full normal amount. Samsung Galaxy...
Microsoft Surace Duo tipped to launch in Germany in Spring 2021

The information was confirmed by unnamed sources who also claim Microsoft’s dual-screen Android phone will make its way to more European markets by H2 2021. UK carriers BT and EE have reportedly reached deals with Microsoft to...
Sony says that variable refresh rate feature for PlayStation 5 is in the works
In a recently updated PS5 FAQ section, Sony has confirmed that the variable refresh rate feature isn't supported yet on its new Playstation 5 console, but it will be in the near future. This is rather strange because the console has HDMI 2.1, which supports the VRR by default. For instance, the Xbox Series X, Series S and One X all support VRR, which turns out to be a pretty cool feature not only for PC gamers but for console gamers as well. Especially since the new hardware can do 120fps at 1080p and 4K. Some of the games tend to suffer feom the occasional dip lf the framerate so VRR...
