Dell fits game-changing 50-year-old tech into its latest touchscreen monitor

Dell is pitching its latest monitor as a game changer in the battle to banish notspots, letting home workers connect to the internet with an Ethernet cable.

A LAN port is something of a rarity for a monitor fitted with touchscreen capabilities, with Dell’s 24in P2424HT monitor geared to users who want the fastest speeds without the potential for their Wi-Fi connection cutting out. It’s also Dell's first touchscreen display with a LAN port.

Priced at $369, the LCD monitor offers Full HD resolution and is equipped with a ten-point multitouch functionality and a contrast ratio of 1,000:1, alongside a 178° viewing angle. 

Its Ethernet port is one of a host of rich connectivity options, including USB-C (USB 3.2 Gen 1) with power delivery of up to 90W, alongside two USB-A ports (USB 3.2 Gen 1), DisplayPort, HDMI and a 3.5mm audio jack. It also featuers KVM support, meaning you can work on multiple monitors with a single keyboard and mouse pairing. 

As far as Ethernet connectivity goes, TechRadar Pro approached Dell to ask whether the LAN port allows for gigabit speeds, or whether it’s limited to 10/100 – data transfer speeds of 10Mbps or 100Mbps on the Fast Ethernet.

It would be a disappointment should the Dell P2424HT lack gigabit connectivity, adding to the lack of 4K resolution, which is a significant omission given its retail price. That said, the monitor does come with a three-year warranty should things go pear shaped.

Elsewhere, the Dell P2424HT features an LED edgelight system that Dell claims will boost display clarity, alongside flicker-free technology so workers staring at the screen for long hours can avoid eye strain. This comes alongside Low Blue Light technology, and Dell ComfortView Plus – the firm’s always-on, built-in feature that reduces low blue light emissions.

The 24in display also comes with a stand that allows tilt angles -5° to +60°, swivel angles of -30° to +30°, and height adjustment up to 110.52mm – with the monitor weighing 7.9kg in all.

Should you wish to wall-mount it or attach it to another stand or desk arm, however, it also supports the VESA mount standard.

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...

Hackers steal passwords, emails from hookup websites

Two gay hookup websites have been breached with sensitive and personal user data stolen and sold online, new reports have claimed. The databases, which are now being sold on dark web forums, were taken from platforms called TruckerSucker, and CityJerks. They contain enough personally identifiable information to engage in identity theft , such as usernames and passwords, email addresses, profile pictures, sexual preferences, birth dates, postal addresses, IP addresses, and bios. The passwords are encrypted, but according to TechCrunch, the algorithm is “weak” and could be broken by a more persistent hacker. The silent treatment HaveIBeenPwned founder Troy Hunt, who was tipped off on the leak, described the incident as a “typical forum breach, albeit with super sensitive content.”  However the content includes more than just identity data, as there are also messages users exchanged, including arranging meetings and describing their sexual preferences.  In total, more than...
