The screenwriter of Wonder Woman 1984 might be heading to a mysterious Marvel project. We’re getting Frozen 2 a little sooner than expected. Finn Wolfhard shares some behind-the-scenes looks at It: Chapter 2. Plus, what’s to come on the DC/CW shows, and great news for the Castlevania show. To me, my spoilers!
For many of us, we do stare at the monitor for hours on end each day, be it at the office or at home. Apart from purchasing a work chair that is able to provide an adequate amount of support for your back, it is also of utmost importance to ensure that your eyes are well taken care of with the right kind of monitor. AOC, long having churned out monitors of great quality, have come up with the V2 series of frameless monitors that sport a gorgeous slim design and advanced IPS panel.
The V2 Series will comprise of includes a trio of monitors: a 22-inch (22V2H), 24-inch (24V2H) and 27-inch (27V2H) model. Regardless of which particular model that you eventually decide to settle for, the whole range will boast of a Full HD IPS panel that has a frameless design alongside AMD FreeSync technology. This is the kind of true zero-edge design that makes them perfect for multi-monitor setups, whether you are looking at a large enough spreadsheet, need some wider screen experience in movies, or simply to maximize your gaming enjoyment.
Despite delivering just Full HD resolution, the V2 Series does not skimp when it comes to image quality. The gorgeous ultra slim design helps make everything around it look good, where the advanced IPS panel used will be able to produce brilliant colors and offer wide viewing angles. The monitor itself is perfect for home entertainment or professional tasks. Other hardware specifications include a 75Hz refresh rate, with viewing angles of 178 degrees, so that you can enjoy consistent color uniformity and accuracy no matter which angle you are viewing it from.
In addition, the V2 line also sports a 20M:1 dynamic contrast with a 5ms response time, while input options are numerous, including one VGA and one HDMI. Not only that, AMD FreeSync technology is part of the deal, delivering a seamless synchronization of GPU and monitor refresh rates without having to sacrifice on performance. The V2 Series will retail for $99.99, $129.99 and $169.99 for the 22V2H, the 24V2H and the 27V2H, respectively.

Mike Warren wanted to dress up as Ghost Rider for Halloween this year. Now, he could have just worn a cheap mask and leather jacket, but he wanted to go the extra mile with a wearable glowing skull helmet surrounded in a cloud of smoke. When you are Ghost Rider, that’s just how it has to be. You can’t cheap out.
Mike used a very modern tool for generating the smoke: a simple vape. Plus, the glowing LEDs inside the skull do a really great job of creating the look of fire, without the risk of burning yourself himself beyond all recognition.
Combined with the smoke really creates the illusion that this is the real Ghost Rider. The smoke comes from a store-bought electronic cigarette. Warren modded it with custom controls, a fan unit, and some flexible tubes to redirect the vapor flow.
Warren documented the entire build on Instructables if you want to try making one yourself. That link has links to all of the parts and components he used, and the 3D skull model he modified and 3D printed.
This is one awesome Ghost Rider costume. Now all he needs is a flaming motorcycle to ride. Maybe he’ll make that next year.
The Zortrax Apoller, a Smart Vapor Smoothing device that uses solvents to smooth the surface of 3D-printed objects. The resulting products look like they are injection molded and all of the little lines associated with FDM printing will disappear.
The system uses a microwave-like chamber that can hold multiple parts at once. The chamber atomizes the solvent, covering the parts, and lets the solvent do its work. Once its done it then sucks the excess vapor back into a collection chamber. The system won’t open until all of the solvent is gone, ensuring you don’t get a face full of acetone. This is an important consideration since this is sold as a desktop device and having clouds of solvent in the air at the office Christmas party could be messy.
“Vapor-smoothed models get the look of injection-molded parts with a glossy or matte finish depending on the filament used. With a dual condensation process, a 300ml bottle of solvent can be used for smoothing multiple prints instead of just one. This efficiency means that the combined weekly output of four typical FDM 3D printers can be automatically smoothed within one day without loss of quality,” the company wrote.
Given the often flimsy structural quality of FDM prints, this smoothing is more cosmetic and allows you, in theory, to create molds from 3D printed parts. In reality these glossy, acetone smoothed parts just look better and give you a better idea what the finished product – injection-molded or milled – will look like when all is said and done.
We all know that no matter how cool or expensive a car is, they must be crash tested if the manufacturer wants them to be street legal in the US. Polestar has announced that it has conducted the first crash test of its carbon fiber Polestar 1 car. This marks the first time that the Volvo Car Group has assessed … Continue reading
Computer security doesn’t really have to be hard. Some of the smallest, simplest measures can be the most effective in keeping your devices secure—they won’t take long, they’re easy to do, and you don’t really have any excuse for not doing them.
