Thermometers aren’t the go-to gadget for Plugged reviewers to sink their teeth into, but this $20 offering from iHealth is a device I’d recommend to my colleagues and readers alike: Especially the ones who have kids. There are few times in a parent’s life more stressful than having a sick baby. Aside from the obvious pain of watching someone you love suffer, the parent also has to be the meanie who brings horrible tasting medicine and sticks thermometers … where they go. The iHealth PT3 Infrared No-Touch Forehead Thermometer is here to help with the second sentiment (you’re on your…

Facebook revealed, earlier today, that it had detected a data breach affecting at least 50 million accounts (and as many as 90 million). Within minutes, as you might imagine, multiple sites including TNW were rushing stories out to inform everyone. Just as quickly, concerned readers began posting the news, including to the site in question. Now Facebook is actively stopping people from posting those stories. Facebook is preventing users from posting The Guardian’s report on the Facebook data breach. Ouch. https://t.co/IGU685PjdK pic.twitter.com/GGGrKqBZEc — Jed Bracy (@JedBracy) September 28, 2018 Multiple users have reported that, when they attempt to post links…

Posted In: Around the Web, Insider


A few weeks ago, we got our first look at the upcoming Razer Phone 2. It showed a device that appeared nearly identical to the original, at least from from the front perspective provided. Today we’re getting our second good look at the device, courtesy of ever-reliable leaker Evan Blass. Aside from corroborating the earlier report, the new leak does at least show the phone has a rearranged camera setup. There still appear to be dual cameras on board, and there’s no telling whether Razer actually improved them, but maybe it’s a sign Razer is focusing more on image quality this…

Gamers certainly didn’t seem to mind, but Epic Games might have overreacted just a bit. One of the first people to notice was streamer Agony, who posted an illustrative gif of the new… um, feature. The most important thing in the Season 6 update pic.twitter.com/FrnzFsF1Fl — FaZe Agony (@Agony) September 27, 2018 I was, naturally, eager to see the response, because if there’s one thing I can count on gamers for, it’s to respond to any issues involving gender and the female…
