[ad_1] Roughly one year after Logitech launched its Harmony Express universal remote, the company is discontinuing the device and ending support. Harmony Express was meant to be a sleek, Alexa-enabled alternative to universal remotes with touch screens and cluttered programmable buttons. But Logitech says its “expectations were not met,” so it’s scrapping the device. Logitech […]

Facebook discontinues Oculus Go headset to focus on the Quest
[ad_1] Appropriately, Oculus added that it was introducing a “new way” for developers to distribute Quest apps outside of the official store, but without having to sideload. This won’t be available until early 2021, but the team is mentioning this now in hopes of spurring development for the Quest among creators who don’t want to […]
Samsung shuts down its PC-to-mobile game streaming on March 27th
[ad_1] There may be a simple explanation. Samsung has already revealed that it’s teaming with Microsoft on a game streaming experience that should debut later in 2020. It wouldn’t be surprising if Samsung saw that as more viable and decided to shut down PlayGalaxy Link to avoid duplicating efforts. Samsung’s service already faced stiff odds. […]
Honda will discontinue its Clarity EV in 2020
[ad_1] This isn’t totally surprising, as the Clarity EV had a pretty limited range. It only traveled about 89 miles on a charge. At the time of its debut, it seemed that Honda was betting on luxury over distance. But many other EVs offer both, and it looks like that bet didn’t work out. It […]
Valve’s Steam Controller is dead
[ad_1] While most reviewers originally wrote the Steam Controller off as too weird, Valve sold over 500,000 in the first six months. It became one of the most configurable gaming devices — you could play Street Fighter V strictly with motion controls or Serious Rocket League with the grips programmed for acceleration/brake and drift/boost. What […]
Google discontinues Clips, the AI-powered camera you forgot about
[ad_1] Google Clips was a short-lived camera that users were meant to position around their homes. It had artificially intelligent auto-capture and promised to record clips when it saw something interesting, like something cute your kid or pet might do before you had a chance to grab your camera. Clips cost $250 and didn’t have […]
Intel discontinues its processors with AMD graphics
[ad_1] The move isn’t exactly unexpected. Kaby Lake-G was an “enemy of my enemy is my friend” design meant to counter NVIDIA’s laptop graphics by mating an 8th-generation Core processor with an AMD GPU that could outperform Intel’s then-current integrated video. Few PC makers saw fit to use it, though, and follow-ups to those systems […]
Bose discontinues its Sleepbuds due to battery issues
[ad_1] The company quickly sold out of a trial batch of Sleepbuds it offered through an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign in 2017. It formally put the earbuds on sale in the US and Canada in June last year. However, Bose said customers complained their Sleepbuds wouldn’t fully charge, power down completely or suffered from both issues. […]
Adobe will kill Shockwave on April 9th
[ad_1] It won’t surprise you to hear why Adobe is ramping things down: the internet has moved on. Shockwave use has “declined” as technologies like HTML5 and WebGL have taken over, the company said. It’s betting that developers would rather move on to newer, truly universal formats if they’re still committed to supporting their web […]
