Nvidia’s onto its newest generation of graphics cards, but its first two forays into the RTX 4000 line haven’t been as smooth as the graphics they render. We’ve already got the massive RTX 4090 and its only slightly more reasonable cousin, the RTX 4080 16GB, but this October saw Nvidia trot out an unusual term—unlaunch

The pandemic-induced shift to working from home can make it hard to stay active during the work week. Standing desks, treadmill desks, and bike desks that merge productivity and fitness are one solution to the problem, but Acer’s eKinekt BD 3 takes things one step further by turning a day’s worth of mindless pedaling…
Star Trek: Prodigy: Season 1 Volume 1 arrives on Blu-ray and DVD today, and io9 has a first peek at one of the special features. The animated series is aimed at younger Trek fans—that’s why it streams on both Paramount+ and Nickelodeon—but that doesn’t mean grown-ups (especially Janeway fans!) can’t also enjoy it.

IO Interactive is making things easier to parse for newcomers to the Hitman series and giving Hitman 3 owners who don’t already own the previous two games a bonus. On January 26th, the company will rename Hitman 3 to Hitman: World of Assassination. That’s the moniker IOI gave to the recent rebooted trilogy. What’s more, Hitman: WOA will include access to all three games.
Those who already owned Hitman 1 and Hitman 2 were supposed to be able to access levels from them in the third installment. However, the approach caused some confusion. This change should streamline things a bit.
If you own Hitman 3, you’ll get a free upgrade to Hitman: WOA. IOI will delist the previous two games, though you’ll still be able to download them again if you already own them. Hitman: WOA, which will cost $70, will be the only entry point for the trilogy moving forward. Hitman 3‘s current standard price is $60, but it’s on sale for $21 on Steam until January 5th. You might find PlayStation, Xbox and Switch deals elsewhere.
A new $30 Deluxe Pack will grant you access to three expansion packs, which include two extra levels, a pair of sniper maps, the Seven Deadly Sins expansion for Hitman 3 and other challenges. The three expansions (Hitman 3 Deluxe Pack, Hitman 3 Seven Deadly Sins Collection and Hitman 2 Expansion Access Pass) will still be available separately on consoles and Epic Games Store. The Deluxe Pack will be pro-rated on Steam if you already own one or two of those DLCs.
IOI noted in a blog post that a key consideration for the updates was the roguelite Freelancer mode, as being able to access all levels from across the trilogy is important for players to get the most out of it. The Freelancer mode was supposed to debut last year, but it will go live on January 26th as well.
“We’re absolutely certain that these changes will have a hugely positive effect on existing players and new players alike. It will also make our lives a lot easier too, there’s no doubting that,” IOI wrote. “For many players, it will mean free content to enjoy. For others, it will mean significantly cheaper DLC prices. For new players, who probably aren’t reading this here, they’ll have a much better experience buying Hitman games.”
Sustainability is one of the top trends at CES 2023 and Baracoda is coming to the show in Vegas with Bheart, a unique smart band that powers itself using environmental light, and the user’s motion and body heat. Baracoda claims it is the world’s first health tracker with an “endless” battery, enabled by BMotion, Baracoda’s patent-pending energy harvesting technology.
This eco-friendly screenless smart band captures enough energy to power several sensors that collect and transfer health data to a mobile application where users monitor their health status, body energy, mental resilience, activity level, and sleep quality.
A CES Innovation Award Honoree, Bheart encourages users to sustain a more active lifestyle since it requires motion to recharge. The eco health tracker is designed to be worn as a band for an existing watch or as a bracelet.
Despite its minimalist form factor, the device’s sensors combined with Baracoda’s AIoT platform deliver personalized advice, if needed, on the state of the user’s health in order to improve it daily. On the smartphone app (iOS or Android) users can see the energy they produce daily, and how behavior influences health over time. Baracoda aims at encouraging Bheart users to sustain daily improvements.
When it comes to sustainability, the design team pushed the envelope further by selecting plastic-free materials to manufacture BHeart.
The base model of the watch band, the material is lightweight metal, in silver, dark silver, or gold tones to match most classic watches. The extended product line will include a watch band or standalone bracelet made of sustainable leather
BHeart is compatible with standard watches with a width of 18-22mm. BHeart will be available for a starting price of $100 at bheart.io from April 2023. The companion app is free and available for iOS and Android.
