Nothing says Mother's Day quite like … free VR glasses from Pornhub?

Pornhub Presents Mommy's Special Glasses
PornHub’s latest promotion blends traditional holidays with cutting-edge pornography viewing by offering a set of free VR goggles as part of a Mother’s Day promotion. Similar to the Google Cardboard, “Mommy’s Special Glasses” are a fold-out VR headset for watching 360-degree porn (and other stuff), and they come as part of a greeting card for Mom.

Virtual reality pornography has remained part of the discussion with cutting edge VR entertainment since the first Oculus Rift headset appeared on Kickstarter and it’s growing quickly. There are already a multitude of supporting websites and a growing library of content that can be viewed in VR headsets like the HTC Vive, or on simpler headsets designed with mobile phones in mind.

It’s that latter type that PornHub is offering with its latest promotion. The cards are available through a specialized landing page and are delivered free of charge — though a PornHub account is required — and offer a thankful and heartfelt message in a typical celebratory card design. However where the card differs, is in the inclusion of a pop-out VR glasses kit complete with compatible lenses.

When a phone is placed within the confines of the card and 360-degree video content — whether pornographic or not — is loaded up on the device, users will be able to view it as if it’s happening right in front of them. Just like all of those exciting virtual reality games the kids are talking about.

The promotion is very real and the cards are indeed delivered free of charge. The messages within them though are quite tongue in cheek. They offer sentiments that suggest Mother’s Day 2017 would be the “best night of [their] life,” or that it’s time their heart was warmed, “as well as some other parts.”

The cards come in a variety of colors and types, though they don’t appear to be customizable by the user. Unfortunately for international 360-degree porn fans, PornHub’s offering is only available within the continental United States.

This 17-inch HP laptop is on sale for just $300 — but hurry!
The HP 17t-cn300 17.3-inch laptop against a white background.

If you want to buy a laptop with a relatively large screen, the good news is that you don't have to break the bank with your purchase because you can get the HP Laptop 17t for a very affordable $300. It's on sale from HP with a $200 discount on its original price of $500, but there's no telling how much time is remaining before this offer expires. We don't think it will stay available for long because laptop deals like this almost always get sold out quickly, so complete the transaction as soon as possible to make sure that you don't miss out on the savings.

Why you should buy the HP Laptop 17t
With the 17.3-inch display of the HP Laptop 17t, you'll have a lot of screen real estate to work on your projects and watch streaming shows. It's pretty affordable for a laptop with this large screen, which offers HD+ resolution for sharp details and vibrant colors. However, despite its big display, the HP Laptop 17t maintains portability because it's only 0.78 of an inch thick, which makes it easy to slide into your bag when you're on the go, and it won't be too heavy to carry around because it only weighs about 4.6 pounds.

What to do if your Intel CPU keeps crashing
Pins on Core i9-12900K.

Despite being among the best processors you can buy, some high-end Intel CPUs have faced a wave of instability over the past few months. Intel is investigating the problem, but the company and its motherboard partners have already worked toward some temporary fixes to improve stability on high-end Intel CPUs -- even if it comes at a performance cost.

Before getting into the fixes, keep in mind that they are temporary. Intel will release a statement on the instability soon, likely with more direct guidance on what affected users should do. In addition, the scope of the problem isn't clear -- if you're not experiencing issues, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
