When hyperscalers ( cloud services like Google or Amazon) or web hosting companies ( Bluehost or Inmotion hosting ) decommission old servers, eBay is usually where you will find them. It so happens that there are a few HP BLc7000 G3 blade server solutions currently on sale there. At £34,995 (approximately $45,000), they don’t come cheap but that’s only a fraction of the £300K they would have cost new (around $386,000). You can make an offer to the vendor; delivery is free to EU countries and the seller will ship worldwide except to the Russian Federation. What do you get for that? Well for a start, it is a cluster of servers rather than one; there’s 16 HP BL460c Gen8 with 256 cores (2x Intel Xeon E5-2690 16-Core 32-Threads) and 8TB of RAM, yes 8192GB of system memory (DDR3 ECC), about 1000x the amount found in most laptops and desktop PCs. These are the best servers for SMB Check out the best cloud storage solutions on the market We have compiled a list of the best dedicate...

Despite a wealth of changes in the photography market over the last few years, it still seems that Canon manages to provide an option for pretty much every kind of photographer. Whether you're just taking your baby steps or shooting assignments for commercial clients, or (more likely) you're somewhere in between, there's a very good chance that an option with Canon's EOS, PowerShot or IXUS branding would fit your requirements as much as your budget. The company is perhaps best known for its EOS DSLRs, but it maintains a collection of powerful compact cameras and has also now notched up many mirrorless offerings that rival their DSLR cousins for performance. It's also spent the last few years bolstering its Cinema EOS line with video-centric options fit for broadcast-quality filming, and has just recently broken the full-frame mirrorless seal with its EOS R camera. By providing so many options across all levels, it's easy to see both a logical first camera ...

Plenty of tech companies are trying their hand at subscription services by this stage, and Apple is certainly ramping it up with its Apple Music and Apple Arcade platforms, along with the imminent Apple TV Plus service set to take on the likes of Netflix. Following Apple’s earnings call and comments by CEO Tim Cook, CNBC has speculated that the tech giant could even consider implementing a premium subscription service for its iPhone line of handsets. When asked whether Apple would consider an Amazon Prime-esque offering, Cook responded saying, “In terms of hardware as a service or as a bundle, if you will, there are customers today that essentially view the hardware like that because they’re on upgrade plans and so forth. So to some degree that exists today.” Why is Apple selling Xbox One controllers?

The first trailer for Netflix's upcoming TV adaptation of The Witcher offered but a taste of what we could expect from the highly-anticipated show, but now a full trailer has landed which grants us a better look at the show's epic scale, along with Henry Cavill's titular Witcher, Geralt of Rivia. The Witcher TV series: everything you need to know about the Netflix show Henry Cavill is bewitching in first official clip of Netflix’s Witcher series Check out The Witcher 3 running at 8K in this new video The creative team behind Netflix's The Witcher has repeatedly stressed that its series is based on Andrzej Sapkowski's original novels rather than CD Projekt Red's video game adaptations.  That said, it's clear that at least some inspiration has been taken from the latter, with self-confessed superfan Cavill sounding near identical to Doug Cockle's interpretation of the character from the celebrated games.  The trailer also marks the live action de...

Airtel has confirmed that it will no longer be offering data rollover facilities for its broadband customers, in a move that is likely to disappoint a lot of users. Airtel has around 350 million subscribers for its data plans in India. Back in July 2017, it introduced the Data Rollover Promise , where unused data from the previous billing cycle would be carried forward to the current cycle. It started with postpaid customers and was later extended to broadband services as well. Going forward, data rollover will only be available for postpaid customers. Gadgets 360 received confirmation from an Airtel executive that data rollover will be discontinued for broadband subscribers. This change will affect all circles. Select postpaid plans will continue to offer this feature. The cheapest plan to offer this is priced at Rs 499 a month, which gives 75GB of 3G/4G data. A maximum of 500GB of high-speed data can be carried forward, when opting for the Rs 1,599 monthly plan. The exact reason...

Motorola really shook things up with the Moto G8 series of smartphones, in terms of release if not the actual handsets. That's because it unveiled the Moto G8 Plus months before we were expecting to see the new series of smartphones, but only the Plus, sans any of the other smartphones we were expecting. We don't know much about the other Motorola phones in the G8 series, but they'll likely be different in their own ways, and we're still hearing leaks as to what they could be. Since the launch of the Moto G7 series, Motorola invigorated the Motorola One series with many new handsets, so the company has a new range to compete with its previous flagships. Some of the killer features in these smartphones made their way into the Moto G8 Plus, and its possible we'll see the same pattern in the other Moto G8 phones. The Moto G smartphones typically launch in the early months of the year, so the Moto G8 Plus at the end of October 2019 was a major shock, but we'd ...

Huawei only recently unveiled the Huawei Band 4 , but it seems a Huawei Band 4 Pro could be on the way as well, as a render supposedly showing it has leaked. Shared by 91Mobiles , the render shows the Huawei Band 4 Pro in black, red and pink/gold shades, and it looks a lot like the standard Huawei Band 4, just with a more textured strap. The source cites previous leaks as saying that the Huawei Band 4 Pro will have an AMOLED screen (where the standard Band 4 uses TFT), and an SpO2 meter to measure blood oxygen.

We're not expecting to see the Samsung Galaxy S11 release for a while since, if Samsung continues its yearly cycles for phone releases, it will be out in or around February 2020 – but we're already hearing rumors of what we can expect from it. On top of that there are some features we didn't see in the Samsung Galaxy S10 that we were expecting, and there were aspects of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 , Samsung Galaxy A80 and Galaxy Fold that would work well in a new Galaxy S flagship. Inspired by all these phones, we've also drawn up a list of the things we'd like to see in the Samsung Galaxy S11, or whatever the next Galaxy S phone ends up being (it could be the Galaxy S20, given that phone companies seem to jump straight from 10 to 20 when numbering phones). You'll find that below, but first, here's everything that we've heard about the Samsung Galaxy S11 so far. Latest news: We've heard the Samsung Galaxy S11 could tout facial unlocking syste...

Google is building a new ad-blocker for Chrome that will specifically target ads that use too many system resources. Chrome is notoriously RAM-hungry , which can result in sluggish performance, but the blame doesn't lie entirely with the browser – sometimes ads can be responsible for sites slowing to a crawl. As 9to5Google explains, Chrome's developers are working on a tool that will address this problem by not loading 'heavy ads' that put excessive demands on the user's device. Check out our guide to the best web browsers Here's how to enable dark mode for Chrome You can also enable dark mode for Firefox The tool was first mentioned in a message from a Chromium developer , and Google has now published a short guide explaining it further, and defining exactly what is meant by 'heavy'. According to the guide, ads will be blocked if they use the main processor thread for more than 60 seconds in total, use the main thread for more than 15 seconds...

You may as well call off the fibre internet search...Vodafone has you sorted, with a free upgrade and the best broadband deal on the market when it comes to mega fast fibre - as long as you order by this Thursday . With a promotion more suited to Black Friday than Halloween, the scarily good offer will give you its Superfast 2 plan for the price of regular Superfast 1 - that means you get average speeds of 63Mb, which is almost double of the usual 35Mb. This is the cheapest mega fast fibre package around this week, so if you live in a busy home or you simply want to browse, game or stream seamlessly then this is the deal for you. It costs £23 a month to most people or a pretty incredible £21 a month if you also have your phone contract with Vodafone . Of course, when the deal is this good, we'd expect it to only be available for a limited amount of time. Unsure whether fibre broadband is for you? Or thinking to add a TV package to your internet? Make your broadband search e...
