An update for Ghost of Tsushima will bring a new Lethal difficulty mode and more accessibility options for reading text and more forgiving combat intensity. This update, patch 1.05, brings a new Lethal difficulty to the game and accessibility options that lower the intensity of the combat. The patch also brings some new text changes to Ghost of Tsushima as well. Depending on when you're seeing this, the update might already be out as its set to go live on July 27. "Later today, Patch 1.05 for #GhostOfTsushima will be released, adding new Lethal difficulty, a new option for Lower intensity combat, and new text settings," a tweet from Sucker Punch reads. The new difficulty level is called Lethal and it makes enemy weapons more deadly. It also makes Jin's katana more deadly as well. Enemies are more aggressive in combat, they detect Jin faster, and the parry and dodge windows are "tighter," the patch notes read. As far as new accessibility options, they seem to be focused around lowering the intensity of the game's combat. "Lower intensity mode is meant to maintain the heart and feel of Ghost of Tsushima combat while relaxing several timing-specific elements. Combat is less intense, giving you more time to react. Stealth settings are more forgiving, and enemies take longer to detect you." The patch notes say that most enemy attacks usually unblockable become blockable when Lower Intensity is enabled. Blocking with L1 will keep Jin safe from more attacks than standard combat, although some attacks will still need to be dogged. Enemies break off their attack combos after damaging you, giving players the chance to heal up before more attacks. Heavy attacks will interrupt Brutes when Lower Intensity is enabled as well. Beyond that, enemies will not attack at all when players try to use Resolve to heal and their awareness builds more slowly when Jin is trying to remain hidden. In terms of text changes, a new Large Text option will increase the size of subtitles, mission objectives, and interact prompts by 150%. Sucker Punch has also added the option to turn the speaker's name off when subtitles are enabled. Yellow, blue, red, and green color options have been added to subtitles as well. While the patch is focused on everything mentioned above, the notes indicate that it includes some bug fixes too, although those specific fixes aren't outlined. Read our thoughts about the game in our Ghost of Tsushima review and then read about how it's PS4's fastest-selling first-party original IP debut. Be sure to use the official IGN Ghost of Tsushima Wiki Guide as you make your way through the game.

Lian Li’s Galahad AIO 240 is a noble new performer. Lian Li, the oft-revered premier PC chassis brand, has introduced a new line of AIO Galahad liquid coolers in 240mm and 360mm radiator flavors. The Galahad AIO 240 ($120) and Galahad AIO 360 ($150) each feature bubbly aRGB lighting, a handsome aluminum pump bezel and a sleek aluminum radiator trim panel featuring the Lian Li logo. Lian Li Galahad AIO 240 Features The Lian Li Galahad AIO 240 arrives ready to support the majority of current CPU sockets, from both AMD and Intel, making use of universal mounting brackets and backplates, as well as plated fastening hardware. An aRGB controller is provided for basic lighting controls. Otherwise, an included cable adapter can make use of 3-pin, 5v aRGB motherboard lighting options. A syringe of thermal compound and a magnetic, center face cover accompany PWM and aRGB cabling to round out the Galahad accessory package. The face of the Lian Li Galahad AIO 240 features an aluminum bezel with a mirrored logo, which allows it to rotate 360° to align with the chosen mounting orientation. The Galahad pump makes use of a 4-pin PWM header, which can be managed with a pump curve from your motherboard or operate full-time at 100% via the included SATA power cable. The large, square copper base is polished to a satin finish and ships without any pre-applied thermal compound. Nylon sleeved rubber tubing enters and exits the pump through a pair of 90-degree swivel fittings adjacent to the aRGB and PWM cabling. This allows for tidy presentation, as only a single ‘side’ of the Galahad pump unit is cluttered with tubing or wiring. The cooler’s 400 mm of tubing provides enough length for most radiator mounting and fitting orientation options. The base of the Galahad AIO 240 is close to being milled perfectly flat, with the slightest hint of being convex at each edge of the copper cooling block. Both Intel and AMD mounting brackets snap snugly around the base of the Galahad pump, making for fast, simple changes of cooler compatibility between the two CPU brands. The slight convexity of the copper base plate appears to spread the majority of the thermal compound away from the center of the CPU HIS and towards the edges. This helps create an ideal coverage patch, provided the tension screws are properly seated by torquing down in an alternating X-pattern, although too much excess paste can be ejected around the edge of the CPU. So apply sparingly. The Galahad AIO 240 makes use of a 240mm aluminum radiator, adorned by a pair of 3-pin, 5v aRGB Lian Li fans rated up to 1900 RPM. Each of the 120mm fans features an opaque 9-blade hub, which is backlit by aRGB modules. Fans are managed via 4-pin PWM headers and can be simultaneously controlled from the included 2-way splitter. The Lian Li Galahad AIO 240 easily adapts to most Intel and AMD desktop CPU models and occupies a standard 240mm radiator mounting location. The 400mm length of tubing is a welcome feature, giving more mounting options over AIOs with shorter lengths, limiting them to top or rear mounts only. Not every AIO has the ability to swivel its face or hide behind a magnetic cover to suit the system builder like the Galahad, but each of these are options provided in a single package on the Lian Li AIO 240. This is thoughtful design, particularly from a company not (yet) well known for its cooling products.

Clear some of your space Apple’s iOS is sleek, powerful, and a little restrictive in how it handles your apps and home screens. Thankfully, iOS 14 is making some big changes to app icon organisation. We’ve already put together a list of iOS 14 tips and tricks to help you get the most out of the next big software update, but what if you just want to hide apps that you don’t use often enough to take up room on your home screen? On iOS 13 and below, your only options are to add icons to folders, and then nudge those off onto other home screens - out of sight, and out of mind. Thankfully, iOS 14 offers more freedom, even allowing you to remove them from home screens entirely. Here’s how you can hide those apps in iOS 14 and what you can do in the meantime while you wait for that next software update to land. Manage Your Home Screens The home screens on iPhone are often full to the brim with applications we use once in a while or every other month. That means that while your primary view when you unlock your phone might be tidy enough, you’ll no doubt have the familiar array of cluttered screens just a swipe away. Thankfully, iOS 14 will let users manage home screens much more effectively. When entering “jiggle mode” (the mode that lets players drag icons around), multiple dots appear between the dock and the rest of your icons. By tapping these, you’ll be able to hide or show as many of you home screens as you like. Find Your Apps In The App Library Hiding home screens won’t delete your apps, so don’t worry about losing data or needing to download each one again. While you won’t be able to swipe over to them in the traditional sense, you’ll still be able to swipe over to the right to find the new App Library. Here you’ll see your apps divided into App Store categories (although these don’t always accurately convey the app type), and shown in four “quadrants”. These aren’t folders like you’d see on your home screen, though. Instead, the three larger icons will take you straight into the app, while the smaller ones open the category to show more apps. If you’ve got quite a few categories and aren’t interested in trying to find them, you can also use the handy search bar at the top of the App Library. This will let you find the app within seconds, just by typing the first few letters of its name.

Another RX 5700 XT graphics card? Nvidia might be the king of raytracing until the next generation of AMD graphics cards come out, but that doesn't stop AMD's current-gen cards from being absolute powerhouses. At the top of AMD's GPU lineup you'll find the RX 5700 XT, which above all else offers tons of performance at a great price. Now, ASRock is offering a new flavor called the RX 5700XT Challenger Pro, which comes with a chunky 3-fan cooler. The 5700 XT Challenger Pro 8G OC comes with a factory overclock that can run the GPU at game clocks of up to 1795 MHz, which is a small overclock over reference. Maximum boost clocks are at the same reference 1905 MHz, but a card's ability to reach these strongly depends on thermal performance. Thankfully, the chunky cooler on the Challenger Pro OC looks to be up to the task. It makes the card occupy 2.7 expansion slots, and its three fans should provide plenty of airflow through the large heatsink. When you're not gaming, the zero-RPM mode will keep things quiet so that you can do your work in peace. A backplate is also present to keep things looking good. The card's memory comprises the standard 8 GB of GDDR6 memory running at 14 GB/s over a 256-bit memory interface. Display outputs consist of one HDMI 2.0b port and three DisplayPort 1.4 ports with DSC. Power is deliverd to the card through two 8-pin PCI-Express power connectors. No word on pricing yet, though at these specs, with no RGB you can expect these cards to run near the value end of offerings.

Hackers exploit S3 cloud storage misconfiguration to inject malicious code into public Twilio SDK Twilio has reported a security incident that saw a hacker gain access to and modify one of the Javascript SDK libraries used by its customers. Serving around 170,000 customers, Twilio is a major provider of communication services. Its users rely on it to power their own comms technology, such as messaging through voice, video, and text. Twilio also runs a flexible cloud contact center, supports push authentication services, and facilitates web connections for IoT devices. The company believes the malicious code may have remained available to clients for up to 24 hours. The affected Twilio TaskRouter JS SDK library was exploited on July 19, with the attacker exploiting a misconfiguration in a public AWS S3 cloud storage bucket. Fortunately for Twilio users, there is apparently no evidence that any bad actor has used the exploit to access the service’s internal systems or customer data. Twilio attack A misconfiguration meant that Twilio’s S3 bucket could be modified by anybody on the web. Unintentionally modifiable S3 buckets are easy to find, and this has led to a spate of exploitative hacks. Twilio believes the hack was carried out by the Magecart hacking consortium and that, rather than target either the company or its users, the attack was intended to “serve malicious advertising to users on mobile devices”. Although the Twilio team says it acted fast, replacing the compromised SDK library within an hour of being alerted to the modification, the unwanted code may have been available via CDN and cached versions of the bucket for up to 24 hours on July 19. In response to the intrusion, Twilio locked down the bucket and added a clean version of the library to its path. Its incident team then reviewed the access policies of all other Twilio S3 buckets and found two further buckets with misconfigured write settings. Fortunately, neither of these stored “production or customer data” and they did not show any signs of having been exploited.

Contactless payments are just the beginning for a whole new way of making money Cash has long been king, but times are changing. Due to technological advances and worries about handling paper money and coins, the move towards digital payments is speeding up. Consumers want convenience and business owners want a healthy turnover, while everybody wants to stay safe. Therefore, moving your business towards an increasingly cashless setup makes a lot of sense. It’s also pretty easy to achieve thanks to lots of payment processing products and services aimed at offering simplicity all round. Pick the right cashless business model and you and your customers will be able to enjoy all of the benefits that brings. Going virtual Small business owners have a number of options at their disposal, which can facilitate payments from customers who are present and have a card they want to pay with. But there are also options available for when the customer might be making an order on the phone, or by using your e-commerce website. If you’re a small business owner who expects to regularly deal with customers who want to give you their payment details over the phone, or are sending you a mail order, then a virtual terminal is one option. Having this hardware at your disposal means you can still process a transaction, even when the customer isn’t there in person Cost factor Clearly one of the best ways to eradicate the need for physical cash as well as reducing the level of germs that are present is to offer contactless payments. Regular card terminals are well know for being far from hygienic due to the numbers of people who handle them over time. Even though you can be as diligent as you like cleaning the PIN pad, card machines are by their nature, going to be pretty grubby. Contactless cards, which more and more consumers now own, are much better as the built-in Near Field Communication (NFC) technology gets rid of the physical contact needed to process a payment. Mobile wallets Staying with the contactless theme, a neat variation on ways to pay comes via the digital wallet. Now that most customers have a smartphone there’s been a surge in the po[CENSORED]rity of digital wallets, which include the likes of Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay. Again, these use NFC technology to process the transaction via your handset. Generally speaking, if you’re going to be set up for accepting contactless payments via card then it’s more than likely you’ll be able to extend this capacity to include digital wallets too as our guides explain. E-commerce website Putting together your own e-commerce website makes a lot of sense if you’re in the business of selling pretty much anything. While some websites can be used solely as a profile-building exercise, others can be used to sell your products and services. There are plenty of options if you want to use a website building service, which does away with the need to know much about web design. However, if you’re looking to sell then make sure that any package you pick is able to handle online shoppers, with all of the payment options that comes with that kind of functionality. The good news is that many of the site-building tools out there do already have provision for this. Some even let you scale up your business as demand requires it. Payment links If you’re looking to add convenience to your e-commerce experience and tend to sell products rather than services then it's a good idea to consider having payment buttons on your website. In essence, these are payment links that can be triggered when a customer clicks or taps on them, either via a desktop experience or when using their mobile device. Payment links are great as they’re a no-fuss option that don't usually require you to possess any major e-commerce website building skills. The functionality of the button or payment link does tend to vary however, depending on which provider you're using to implement it. But it’s worth perusing the products and services in our payment link guides to see which ones provide the sort of functionality you’re after. Social media Lookout too for an increasing number of opportunities to trade online using the social media might of Facebook and Google. Facebook business pages, for example, offer up the option of product and services listings. Google, meanwhile, is really trying to assist small business owners with a recent initiative to help them get their products more efficiently listed on Google Shopping. There’s even been the option of a Buy on Google checkout facility and lots more convenience offered by the search giant in a bid to boost the lot of the small business owner in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. A pilot is already being run in the US, so hopefully we can all look forward to improving trading conditions in the near future. Better still, unlike days gone by, we should all be able to make some money without even touching it.

Tasks are now rolling out on desktop for Microsoft Teams users Microsoft hopes to give workers a productivity boost with the rollout of its new Tasks app in Microsoft Teams which combines Microsoft Planner and Microsoft To Do to form a cohesive task management experience. Back in April, the software giant revealed in an entry to its Microsoft 365 roadmap that Tasks in Teams was in development to provide users with a new “unified view of their personal and team tasks, powered by Planner and To Do”. In the new app, Microsoft To Do handles individual tasks while Microsoft Planner handles team tasks. The addition of tasks in Teams is part of a wider effort by Microsoft called Tasks in Microsoft 365 that is designed to consolidate and unify task scheduling across Teams, Outlook, Planner, Microsoft To Do and Office. While Outlook already syncs all tasks to Microsoft To Do, Microsoft Office will soon allow managers and project heads to assign tasks to workers using '@' mentions in Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Tasks in Teams Microsoft is currently in the process of rolling out Tasks on desktop to a small group of users and this rollout will continue through September. However, the Tasks mobile app won't be available until the desktop rollout is complete, according to the company. In a support document, Microsoft warned users that Tasks in Teams will arrive under several different names during the rollout, saying: “As we roll out the Tasks experience on Teams desktop clients, the app name will initially appear as Planner to users. The name will then temporarily change to Tasks by Planner and To Do, and later on, it will be renamed to Tasks. On Teams mobile clients, users will always see the app name as Tasks. There may be a short delay in the availability of the mobile experience after the desktop experience is available.” Since announcing the Tasks app back in April of last year, Microsoft has made a number of additions to the app including task publishing which allows leadership teams at an organization to create task lists and assign them to teams at different locations. Tasks can also be assigned to Firstline Workers who have a simple mobile experience to see their tasks as well as the ability to attach photos to show their work when appropriate. Having a to do list that shows your tasks and syncs across all of Microsoft's software could also be quite beneficial for employees working from home that may be having a hard time staying productive.

Some top tips to get the most out of your office printer. The printer in your office has a surprisingly long shelf life. Depending on how your employees use it, the complexity of the print jobs, the type of consumables and ink being used, and your maintenance schedule, you can expect most modern printers to last years or evendecades. Fortunately, there is a way to extend the life of any printer by following a few best practices, some of which have long been established as effective, but also a few that might surprise you. While every make and model of printer is hopefully built to last, there are a few steps to take that will ensure employees don’t print extra jobs unnecessarily, that hackers won’t be as likely to cause damage remotely (which can even make the printer inoperable), and that employees are making the most use of the device without attempting to print in ways that can cause damage. 1. Use high-quality paper One of the smartest strategies in terms of extending the life of a printer is to make sure you use high-quality paper. .. This ensures not only that the paper won’t jam up in the printer and cause damage but also that the ink adheres to the paper and prints efficiently. Poor quality paper has a tendency to rip or cause ink problems that can be detrimental over a long period of time. More importantly, using the best quality paper is easier on the print heads and ink cartridges. 2. Use only high-quality ink cartridges It’s tempting to use off-brand ink cartridges in any printer, and matched with poor quality paper will be a recipe for disaster. Every printer benefits from using high-quality consumables; when the ink is made specifically by the manufacturer or is officially approved, it means there is less of a chance that the ink will leak into the printer or damage the print heads. 3. Contract with a provider for regular service There are two main advantages when it comes to regular, scheduled printer maintenance. One is the obvious benefit of making repairs, cleaning out the device, and making sure the firmware is up to date. A well-maintained printer will last longer. A second benefit is that contracted, scheduled printer maintenance is ideal in terms of looking for any recurring issues. Service repair personnel can look for issues that could cause damage (short term or long term) and resolve any issues that might make the printer not last as long. 4. Use shorter standby mode times Another suggestion for making a printer last longer is to consider using a setting that puts the device on a standby mode sooner. Some devices will allow you to set how much time it takes before the printer will go into standby, and some even allow you to set whether the printer dims the display only and then eventually goes into a full standby mode. When you use these settings, it’s possible to set the interval - say, going on standby after five minutes or after 20 minutes. Using a shorter interval for standby mode can help devices last longer because they are not receiving power, which means all of the internal parts are not consuming power and are less likely to need any repairs. 5. Improve your workflow automation process It might seem unrelated, but a smart workflow automation process can make a printer last longer. The reason is that this process should be designed to help employees make the most of your printing infrastructure at the company, coordinating jobs, designing them for the best production, and even eliminating waste and extra print jobs. The more employees know about what will be printed and how it should be organized, the less work the printer has to do. Here’s an example of how that works. Let’s say the marketing department at your company is creating a new brochure. A workflow automation process will help the employees organize the documents, envision how they will look after final production, and coordinate the print jobs as a team. This means the final outputs won’t tax the printer as much (or the consumables). 6. Train employees on how to use the printer Another tip related to making a printer last longer has to do with employee training. We’ll all seen this before - a print job is configured wrong, and an employee doesn’t know which settings to use and causes damage or problems with the device. By training employees to use the printer, you will make sure they know which features to use and how to make the most of the device, but you will also increase the life of the device because most (if not all) print jobs will be configured properly. The side benefit here is that employees who know how to use a printer will actually generate fewer print jobs, which in turn makes the printer last longer. 7. Maintain printer security You might not think of security as being related to printer longevity, but the two are connected. When you update the firmware, maintain network security, and ensure that a device can’t be breached by hackers, it also means you are ensuring the device will last longer. The reason is that, if there is a breach through the printer, it is possible the printer will need to be removed from service or even destroyed as part of the security protocols. And, if you maintain security measures, it also means hackers can’t break into the printer remotely and cause damage to the device or even make it inoperable. Overall, these steps ensure that a printer won’t be used incorrectly or in a way that taxes the device unnecessarily. You’ll find that well-trained employees will make the most of the features and settings, and by using high-quality paper and ink you can extend the life of any printer. That makes the initial investment in printer technology even more valuable for any corporation.

Initial release date : November 27, 2018 Designer : Imran Sarwar Mode : a group video game Series : Red Dead Developer : Rockstar Games Platforms : Playstation 4, Xbox One, Google Stadia, Microsoft Windows Red Dead Online is set to receive a “massive” update next week that adds a new Frontier Pursuit as well as “tons” of community-requested features. The update will land on Tuesday, July 28. The Frontier Pursuit has yet to be detailed, but Rockstar promises that it’s an all-new role focused on naturalism. In addition, the update adds a new Outlaw Pass, a variety of community requested features and fixes, as well as a vague promise of more to discover in the months to come. The update comes in the wake of in-game protests by players upset by the lack of updates for Red Dead Online. Earlier this week players gathered en-mass dressed as clowns to signal their disappointment in the amount of content support for the game offered by Rockstar. As well as Red Dead Online, Rockstar is promising a summer update for GTA Online, too, as well as the game’s largest ever update coming later in the year that will take Heists to a new location.

Classic looks and good audio meet long-range wireless tech with a strong signal. Are you after a set of wireless gaming cans that are more class and less gamer-aggressive RGB explosion? Then Logitech’s G Pro X Lightspeed Wireless might be one of the best gaming headsets for you. A followup to the wired Logitech G Pro X model we looked at (and liked) last year, the wireless Lightspeed version features 13-plus meter (42.7-foot) range, Logitech’s low-latency Lightspeed tech, 20-hour rated battery life and -- oh yeah -- great sound, thanks to 50mm “hybrid mesh” drivers. There’s a lot to like here. But at $199, they’re also priced for the “pros.” And while the headset is generally comfortable, I take issue with Logitech’s “ultimate comfort” claim. At 0.7 pounds, the cans feel a bit heavy and tight on my (admittedly big) head after hours of use. My Bluetooth-based Sennheiser Momentum 3 headphones are much more comfy for long-term listening. But, of course, they cost more, use standard Bluetooth, have a shorter 13-hour battery life and don’t come with Logitech’s suite of gamer-focused features. The Logitech G Pro X headset definitely looks and feels like a high-end device. And unlike most gaming headsets, there are no RGB lights or even any aggressive styling here. Instead, you get classy spun-metal pieces on the side of the earcups with a two-tone chrome-and-blue-gray finish. There’s a forked metal headpiece that’s comfortably covered in a faux-leather material, which reminds me of high-end headphones from the 1980s. In keeping with that aesthetic, there are also exposed coiled wires running to each ear piece that look like old-school telephone handset cables. Having thoroughly dated myself with the above description, I’ll summarize by saying that Logitech has done a good job of adding just enough understated style to keep these cans from looking bland, and the whole package feels like about as solid as you’d expect from a $200 headset. Additionally, if you prefer something more breathable on your ears than leatherette, the company also includes a pair of velour earpads in the box. As for how comfortable they are, that’s always a tough call given differences in head size and sensitivity to that dreaded head-clamping feeling. But personally, I found the Logitech G Pro X headset good in terms of comfort, but not quite great. They fit well and feel comfortably snug. But after a couple hours of use, they started to feel tight and a little heavy on my head, causing me to want to grab another pair of cans or wireless earbuds for a bit of relief. In short, they’re probably fine for most people who do a few hours of gaming a day. But if you’re like me and spend about two-thirds of your life with some sort of listening device jammed in your ears or on your head, you may want to have an alternative handy. Controls on the Logitech G Pro X are fairly simple and intuitive. Everything happens on the left earcup. There you’ll find a power LED, the USB-C charging port (Logitech says you should get over 20 hours), power switch, a solid-feeling volume wheel and a mute button for the mic on the back. The mic itself is an old-school bendy, removable affair. It’s easy enough to pop off, which can come in handy if you just want to use these as headphones. But keep in mind they need to be plugged into something via a USB-A port to work, so you aren’t likely to use them with your phone. Normally, I’d be worried about losing the mic after unplugging it during some downtime when not working or gaming. But that’s less of an issue these days when it feels like I’m in at least three video conference calls every day for work. So, What’s Lightspeed? Lightspeed is a proprietary wireless 2.4GHz tech usually found on the company’s mice and keyboards. It’s designed to reduce latency, increase connection stability and generally make wireless peripheral performance as reliable as traditional wired connections. Whether or not there’s a significant advantage to putting it in a gaming headset is debatable, but I can say that in my entire time using the headset for work, gaming and listening to music and podcasts, I never ran into any noticeable issues with latency or connectivity. In fact, I was able to roam nearly the entirety of my apartment without the audio dropping out. I say “nearly” because sound did drop out, but only when I went into my bathroom, the furthest point from my gaming PC, a full four rooms away. And even then, sound only dropped when I intentionally moved behind a wall. Logitech’s claim of more than 13 meters (42.7 feet) of wireless range seems plausible, and it’s definitely better than even the latest Bluetooth tech. But like with every wireless transmission technology, your mileage will vary depending on the layout of your rooms, the materials used in your walls, etc. The only real downside of Lightspeed is that the USB-A dongle that you need to use to connect the G Pro X headset is rather large compared to the company’s typically tiny unifying receivers. At about 1.75 inches long and 0.75 inches wide, it’s more like a bulky flash drive than anything else. That’s not necessarily a problem for desktop users. But if you’re a laptop gamer, you’ll definitely need to remove the Lightspeed dongle when taking your laptop on the go. And if you lose it, you may have a tough time getting a replacement. Sound Audio on the Logitech G Pro X Lightspeed Wireless sounds just as good as it did on the wired version -- only you aren’t tethered to a cable. The 7.1 surround sound sounded about as good as it can while I wandered around the various colorful worlds of Borderlands 3. I was easily able to hear when skags were loping up behind me or what direction a Guardian was firing at me from. There’s also enough low-end thump to make up-close shotgun blasts something you feel a little bit, rather than just hear. Music also sounded good. When I listened to “End Studies” from Seemings’ forthcoming The Birdwatcher's Guide to Atrocity, the percussive claps were crisp, and I was able to discern a fair bit of detail in Alex Reed’s vocals, despite layers of electronic distortion. The mic worked well, picking up my voice very clearly both in video calls and in games--at least when I didn’t forget that it was on mute. There’s just something more intuitive about mics that lift up out of your face to mute, rather than having to press a button behind your ear. As someone who typically alternates between a pair of Sennheiser Momentum 3 headphones (which have an MSRP twice that of the Logitech headset) and Anker’s Soundcore Liberty Pro 2 wireless earbuds (which sound amazing for their $150 price), I would have no issues swapping the Logitech G Pro X into my daily listening mix. Again, I just wouldn’t want them on my head all day because they tended to get a bit uncomfortable for me after 2 or 3 hours. But even after a break of 15 or 20 mins, the Logitech headphones felt OK when I put them back on. Software Logitech’s G Hub software is attractive (especially if you like dark mode) and fairly intuitive, letting you easily adjust the EQ of the headset, enable and disable virtual surround sound and adjust and test the mic volume and effects. There are a bunch of mic presets, many created in tandem with Blue Microphones. Clearly, Blue knows more about broadcasting and podcasting than I do. But many of the presets seemed unnecessary, only delivering minimal differences in my voice. But again, if you truly are a professional streamer or broadcaster obsessed with the nuances of your verbal delivery, you may find them helpful. I mostly just care about being heard when I’m complaining during company calls Bottom Line At $200, Logitech’s G Pro X Lightspeed headset is a serious investment in gaming / audio hardware. But if, like the staff here at Tom’s Hardware, you’ve been spending most of the last several months locked in your home, alternatively working, gaming and searching various streaming services for something new worth watching, a $200 investment in the sound you pump into your head might be worthwhile. Aside from being great for gaming, conference calls and all kinds of media consumption, the Lightspeed wireless tech will let you wander around a much greater area of your home than Bluetooth without dropping the conference call with your colleagues or having your podcast cut out on you while you brew your morning coffee. The main downside, aside from price, is that I didn’t find this headset super comfortable to wear for long periods of time. After a few hours it started to feel a little heavy and constricting. So maybe keep a backup set of headphones handy to give your head a break. Or just, you know, spend some time listening to the actual sounds of the world and the people around you. It can’t be that bad, right? What? Sorry, can’t hear you. I just put the G Pro X headset back on.

To pay, or not to pay? That is the question… Antivirus software can be divided into two broad camps: free apps, and products that you must pay money for (usually known as paid or premium apps). Obviously, the difference between the two is that one involves a financial outlay and the other doesn’t. In this article, we’re going to look at which is the best choice for you between these two options, weighing up various key factors that will help you decide. Budget The first and most obvious consideration is your budget. If you’re really on a super-tight budget when it comes to your PC and the software you’re running on it, a free alternative is obviously a tempting option. And the good news is there’s nothing wrong with getting a freebie antivirus app. We hasten to add that you should be careful about which free piece of software you download and install. Don’t grab an app from some company you’ve never heard of, or just any old antivirus – make sure you plump for software from a well-known vendor, like the respected firms which we highlight in our roundup of the best free antivirus. That said, note that some antivirus developers offer their premium products on long-term contracts at what works out very cheaply in terms of a monthly rate, and these apps give you a lot more in terms of features as we’ll discuss next. So the overall value proposition, at least with some products such as those which top our best paid antivirus list, is actually very strong. Furthermore, don’t forget that paid apps often offer either a trial, or a money-back guarantee if you’re not happy within a certain period, meaning you can try before you buy, and see first-hand if the software is worth splashing out on. Features With free virus protection, you’ll only get a basic feature-set. These apps might only carry the core antivirus engine, and perhaps a couple of additional pillars of defense – but vendors reserve all the more heavyweight functions for their paid products for obvious reasons. With premium versions, you’ll often get important additions like extra layers of anti-ransomware protection, or web protection with anti-phishing tech or perhaps a tailor-made secure browser. You’ll be even more secure with these kind of features backing you up online, which is great news for those who might be less confident about the web and all the potential dangers out there. Similarly, because parental controls and the likes of social media monitoring tools are generally only in paid security apps, those with a family may well want to pay for such features in order to keep the kids safe when they’re online. Adverts Advertisements are a further key issue to consider. With free products, there will usually be some manner of advertising involved (although there are exceptions to the rule, they are few and far between). This might be ads for all kinds of things, or simple messages suggesting you upgrade to the premium version, but you will likely face pop-ups of some variety. With a paid antivirus app, there’s none of this. So, another way of looking at this could be that with a free antivirus, you’re effectively paying for the product with another resource – your time (to dismiss adverts), rather than money. Granted, with most decent free apps you won’t spend much time dismissing adverts, as there shouldn’t be that many of them – but they can be a slight annoyance, even so. Support Another major difference between paid and free products is that with a premium antivirus, you get a fully rounded technical support package. That often means 24/7 support allowing you to talk to human agents – via the phone, or live chat online – which can be a really useful facility for troubleshooting. Indeed, some security companies even offer additional benefits such as Norton’s virus protection promise, whereby if a paying user’s system is infected by malware, they get a guarantee that one of the company’s experts will remove it. If tech support can’t remedy the situation, the cost of the customer’s subscription is refunded. Free virus protection won’t give you any guarantees, of course, and support is usually limited to simple FAQs, or forums where users can try and help each other out with varying levels of success. If your query is a thornier one, you may find you get no replies, and can’t find much out in any FAQ either, leaving you pretty much high and dry, perhaps speculatively Googling for an answer. Paid antivirus vs free antivirus: which should you get? The answer to this question does, of course, depend on your exact needs. Broadly speaking, though, paid antivirus edges it because of the extra features on offer – many of which are very useful, particularly to computing novices – plus better support, and lack of any pesky ads. That said, a free app is a perfectly viable option for robust core protection of your PC, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with going this route for those who want to save some money, and are perhaps more confident about avoiding online dangers.
