Valve teases their virtual reality headset, the Valve Index
A website has appeared for the Valve Index, a new virtual reality headset from (obviously) Valve. This is where I’m supposed to tell you more about it, but alas, I cannot, because the webpage simply reads “Upgrade your experience. May 2019.” What will happen when May rolls around? I do not know.

No, because that’s literally all the website says.

Microsoft security chief warns people ‘not to use its own Internet Explorer’ as the program is ‘outdated’
TECH giant Microsoft’s security chief has said its Internet Explorer should not be used as a main web browser. Worldwide head of cyber-security Chris Jackson said the classic program was outdated. Mr Jackson said developers no longer test their work in it, instead using more modern browsers — leading to problems for people who use it. Some firms still rely on IE because their websites, built in its heyday, use the deep programming behind it.
