Let's get rid of monitors altogether

 

Our computing writer makes the case for ditching monitors for good

 

A monitor is one piece of technology that most of us enjoy having around, and generally the bigger the better. But our computing writer Alan Truly, a self-confessed VR enthusiast, makes the case that we should get risk of desk monitors altogether.

Instead, he suggests, we could all make use of smart glasses or headsets for our daily computing needs. The question is whether the technology to make the switch is ready yet.

Ultimate Ears introduces its tiny, waterproof Miniroll speaker

 

It's the smallest Ultimate Ears speaker yet

 

Bluetooth speaker brand Ultimate Ears has introduced a new addition to its lineup: the tiny and colorful Miniroll. At just four inches across with a weight of just under 10 ounces, it comes with a silicone strap which makes it easy to clip it to a bag or coat.

Despite its small size, it packs an impressive sound punch, with clear and rich audio and more power than you'd expect for such a mini design. It's waterproof and dustproof, and there's also an PartyUp feature which lets you connect other Minirolls together.

At six foot tall, the replica is a Guinness World Record breakers

 

Apple may be focused on making its iPhone smaller and lighter, but two YouTubers have decided to do just the opposite, building the world's largest iPhone Pro 15 Max standing at over six feet tall.

Over a pair of videos, the pair from the channels MrWhoseTheBoss and DIY Perks worked together to commission fabricated parts and create a giant, working iPhone scaled up to be 100 times its normal size. At 400 pounds, the result set a Guinness World Record.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 delivers the action we were hoping for

 

Warhammer fans will find much to like in the new shooter

 

Expectations were high for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. Warhammer is a franchise with a well-established aesthetic and a complex and sprawling universe. But its latest game succeeds in delivering the cinematic set pieces and gory action we were hoping for, with an action-packed campaign with plenty of variety in weapons and classes.

The multiplayer is more successful than the single player, as there are annoyances with the AI players, and there are some balancing issues to address between classes. But overall, it's a thrilling, epic experience that is one of the best Warhammer games to date.
