Get a premium VR headset for less with price cuts on HTC Vive Cosmos, Vive Pro

VR headsets can be expensive, can't they? While there are plenty of budget and mid-range options out there – say, the Oculus Go – to really get one of the best VR experiences available today, you'll have to splash out more than a couple of hundred pounds. It's fortunate, then, that Black Friday is upon us, and bringing a whole load of VR headset deals with it.

The new HTC Vive Cosmos has seen a £100 price cut, bringing it down to only £599 – with six free months of Viveport Infinity thrown in too, meaning you get access to hundreds of VR titles without paying another penny.

The HTC Vive Pro, on the other hand, has got a £200 discount for its Full Kit bundle, which throws in sensors for room-scale tracking, as well as two controllers for use with the headset – now for £1,099. We'd seen this price previously back in October, but if you didn't manage to grab it then, now may be the time.

You'll also find discounts on accessories that turn these wired VR headsets into wireless gadgets, meaning you can ditch the cable for more portable play.

HTC Vive Pro Black Friday deals

Vive Pro is now getting on a bit, given it launched in 2016, but it remains one of the best VR headsets we've reviewed. At a time when most manufacturers in the VR space are aiming at market-friendly mid-range models, the Vive Pro is still unapologetically premium.

But it also relies on external sensors for location tracking, unlike the cheaper Vive Cosmos (new for 2019), which uses six embedded cameras in the headset itself. The controllers for the Cosmos are also more gamer-friendly, with additional trigger and shoulder buttons instead of the Pro's trackpad. Both however require a wired connection to a capable PC (specs on their respective product pages), and have equivalent pixel density (1440 x 1600 for the Vive Pro, and 1,440 x 1,700 for the Cosmos).

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It?

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It? On every Windows drive—even external USB drives—you’ll find a “System Volume Information” folder. You’ll only see it if you have Windows set to  show hidden files and folders , but it’s always there. So what is it for? Why Can’t I Open the Folder? On drives formatted with  the NTFS file system , this folder’s permissions are set to prevent everyone from accessing the folder, even users with Administrator permissions. Double-click the folder and you’ll see an error message saying the “location is not available” and “access is denied.” This is normal. That’s because Windows uses this folder for certain system-level features. The permissions are set to prevent users—and programs without the appropriate permissions—from tampering with the files inside and interfering with important system functions. What Is It For? Among other things, Windows stores  System Restore points  in the System Volume

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side , DigiTech Geeks Mobile Computing News

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side The Black Friday iPad deals are never any good, but in 2021 they've somehow failed to clear that laughably low bar, and we've still been surprised by just how poor the Apple-tablet discounts are this year. Seriously – we're talking just $50 / £50 off super-power iPad Pros , and sometimes no discounts at all on entry-level or Mini tablets – and this outlook very likely won't change for the Cyber Monday iPad deals . If you were wanting to buy a new iPad in the Black Friday sales, it might seem like you're plum out of luck. (Not in the US or UK? Scroll down for deals in your region). It's not all bad news though, not as long as you're willing to try new things (and aren't committed to the Apple ecosystem already). That's because there are a few worthy tablet Black Friday deals on Android slates that make them much, much more tempting than an iPad. Sure, sure, sure: i
