Game Boy-compatible Analogue Pocket is getting a glow in the dark version soon

Hardware manufacturer Analogue has announced a special edition for its Analogue Pocket handheld gaming device - and it's available very soon.

The Analogue Pocket Glow in the Dark edition looks to do exactly what it says on the tin. If you're familiar with the Game Boy-compatible handheld, it looks to be practically identical, albeit with a green glow that illuminates in darker environments.

The new version of the handheld will be available in "highly limited quantities" from September 1 for $249.99 (around £199.99 / AU$369). Shipping will promptly commence on September 5, so you won't have to wait too long for this version of the Analogue Pocket to be delivered should you choose to order one.

Comparatively, that's $30 pricier than the standard Analogue Pocket model, which typically costs $219 (around £179 / AU$340). However, as the handheld is constantly in high demand and quite frequently out of stock, this Glow in the Dark edition might be your best chance to snag one from the manufacturer's website directly.

The Analogue Pocket is similar to the Evercade EXP, one of the best handheld games consoles you can buy, in that it requires cartridges in order to play games. However, unlike Evercade's bespoke cartridges, Analogue takes a different approach in that it's compatible with Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance cartridges. The manufacturer also sells cartridge adapters which add support for TurboGrafx-16, Neo Geo Pocket Color, Atari Lynx and Game Gear games among others.

What's particularly impressive about the Analogue Pocket is there's absolutely no emulation happening here. All supported titles run natively on the hardware and really pop thanks to its sharp, 3.5-inch LCD screen that boasts a 1600x1440 resolution for crystal clear image clarity and accuracy.

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...
