Razer’s new ‘Phantom White’ designs are a translucent 90s throwback

Razer’s new ‘Phantom White’ designs are a translucent 90s throwback

It’s a strange thing, aging into the prime nostalgia market. Suddenly every show on TV and every product on shelves is laser-targeted at me. Take Razer’s new “Phantom White” collection of PC gaming gear, for example. It’s leaning hard into the translucent plastic trend of the late 90s… and, apparently, the mid-2020s. There are no new devices in this range, but some of Razer’s most popular gaming geegaws now come with soft white shells that glow with the company’s signature RGB lighting. The BlackWidow V4 75% keyboard is probably the star of the show for me, if only because it’s an excellent keyboard on its own . But you can also get the Basilisk V3 Pro mouse, the Firefly V2 Pro RGB mousepad, the Barracuda X Chroma headset, and the Kishi V3 phone controller in the new colorway. Razer Prices for the new collection are a bit higher—the keyboard is $200 versus $180 for the regular black or white options—but no one ever accused Razer of being particularly interested in value. All of these except for the controller are also available in “ Phantom Green ,” which is also transparent and, well, green. The new color options are literally style over substance… though I guess they can give you a much better look at the substance of your PC gaming gadgets.

WhatsApp Testing Message Limits to Combat Spam

WhatsApp Testing Message Limits to Combat Spam

Popular Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp may soon introduce new message limits that could cut down on spam. According to TechCrunch , WhatsApp is testing a feature that restricts the number of messages that individual users and businesses are able to send to unknown people without getting a response. All messages that are sent will count against the per-month limit, which has not yet been established. WhatsApp is testing different limits to determine what works best, and the testing will be conducted in multiple countries in the coming weeks. When a person or business is close to hitting the limit, WhatsApp will display a pop-up warning with the remaining number of messages that can be sent, so users can avoid being blocked from sending messages entirely. According to WhatsApp, the average user will not hit the limit, with the controls designed to cut down on spam messages. A message that is sent and receives a reply will not count toward the message limit. Spam on WhatsApp is a major problem due to the worldwide popularity of the app, and the company has been working to curb spam over the last few years. WhatsApp has added tools for easily blocking someone from the Lock Screen, unsubscribing from marketing messages, and leaving unwanted groups, plus it has introduced limits for bulk messaging from new users.
