      Samsung sticks Nvidia RTX 2080 GPU inside new Odyssey gaming notebook

      Yet another competitor for Acer, Alienware, Razer, and others to watch.

      Samsung is making news at CES 2019—but not for an obvious reason. The Korean manufacturer announced its first new gaming laptop in quite some time: the Samsung Notebook Odyssey. While Samsung has made gaming devices with the Odyssey name, this new notebook appears to compete with similarly powerful and portable gaming PCs from the likes of Acer, Alienware, and Razer.

          TIL: Firefox has a little-known feature to spare your blushes on the new-tab page

          Open source browser tries to avoid publicizing your dirtier computing habits.

          For many of us, our browsers' new-tab pages are something of a liability. Whichever browser you use, they all follow a fairly similar style: a bunch of boxes linking to the sites that we use and visit regularly. This is great when your regular sites are Ars, Gmail, and Twitter. But all too often, sites of a less salubrious nature find their way onto our new-tab pages, disclosing to the world our dirty habits when nobody's watching. While we can, of course, clean up our new-tab pages by Xing out the buttons for the offending sites, a moment of inattention can all too easily expose our pornographic predilections to the world.

            New year, new GitHub: Announcing unlimited free private repos and unified Enterprise offering

            Today we’re announcing two major updates to make GitHub more accessible to developers: unlimited free private repositories, and a simpler, unified Enterprise offering. We’re excited about these updates to our Free and Enterprise offerings:

            • GitHub Free now includes unlimited private repositories. For the first time, developers can use GitHub for their private projects with up to three collaborators per repository for free. Many developers want to use private repos to apply for a job, work on a side project, or try something out in private before releasing it publicly. Starting today, those scenarios, and many more, are possible on GitHub at no cost. Public repositories are still free (of course—no changes there) and include unlimited collaborators.

            • GitHub Enterprise is the new unified product for Enterprise Cloud (formerly GitHub Business Cloud) and Enterprise Server (formerly GitHub Enterprise). Organizations that want the flexibility to use GitHub in a cloud or self-hosted configuration can now access both at one per-seat price. And with GitHub Connect, these products can be securely linked, providing a hybrid option so developers can work seamlessly across both environments.

              @NerdyDad GitLab pretty much forced that to happen.

                    That's awesome. I'll probably move my GitLab stuff to GitHub soon.

                      Why? GitLab is awesome and open source. GitHub is closed source, has finally done something good, but is part of MS? Still doesn't seem nearly as good as GitLab, just "not as big of a gap" as before.

                            Why? What are you getting more from GitHub?

                              I'm not really sure why you'd want to be on GitHub?

                                Lenovo’s Legion laptops are gaming machines you won’t be embarrassed to use

                                Turn off the RGB lighting and they won't look out of place at work

                                A common theme of gamer-oriented hardware is that it is ostentatious and often ugly, with bright lights and logos and LEDs making it all feel rather distasteful. Lenovo's Legion gaming hardware consciously bucks that trend by producing machines that offer gaming specs (and all the colorful lighting that for some reason goes with those specs) while still looking respectable and grown-up once you turn all the colored lights off.

                                    Amazon attempts less creepy delivery by placing packages in your garage

                                    Amazon's still trying to get customers to open up part of their homes for deliveries.

                                    Amazon isn't giving up on its Key home delivery service. Rather than letting couriers in through your front door, Amazon wants you to open up your garage. The company announced its new Key for Garage expansion at CES, a new variation on its home delivery service that allows couriers to securely deliver packages where you park your cars or keep all your junk.

                                      Razer announces a gaming monitor, haptic feedback PC gaming peripherals

                                      And did we mention RGB? So, so much RGB.

                                      At this year's CES, it sometimes seems like consumer electronics announcements are dominated by two trends: gaming gear and digital voice assistants. Gaming brand Razer made announcements related to both this week.

                                      Arguably the most notable are HyperSense—a haptic feedback platform that makes PC peripherals like headphones, gaming chairs, and mice provide gaming controller-like feedback along with the audio in games—and the Raptor, Razer's first gaming monitor designed in-house.

                                          According to Forbes, more than half of Americans have Amazon delivery. Figure in bulk, you can put a secure lock box on someone's porch (and what about apartments) for less than $50, which I doubt... with 126 million households in the US, that would be north of a $3 billion investment. Until they lose more than that in 2 years there is no way they'll do it.
