Alienware Hotel Room - EVERY DETAIL IS ALIENWARE

The next time you’re on vacation in Panama City, you may not have any time for sightseeing at Casco Viejo or the Balboa Avenida walkway. This particular Hilton Hotel not only offers free W-Fi, but Room 2425 has been turned into the ultimate gaming getaway, courtesy of Alienware.

PC Gamer expanded on some of the details of the high-end setup, which was originally highlighted with a gallery of drool-worthy images at Xataca. Once you check in, you’ll be greeted with beefy Alienware gaming PCs, high-definition displays, booming surround sound, and even a virtual reality (VR) setup with an Occulus Rift headset.

Alienware Latinoamérica shared some of the images of the room on Twitter, which showcases the futuristic sci-fi styling and amenities such as beanbag chairs and Alienware-branded pillows and tissue boxes.

‏As to the hardware itself, you’ll have no problems staying cool in the racing simulator chair with upholstery designed using NASA’s Outcast technology, which protects astronauts from temperature fulgurations. Then you can boot up your favorite shooter on a 4K 65-inch OELD TV using a PC loaded with an Intel Core i7-8700 processor and a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card.

For lighter fare, there’s also an Alienware 15 laptop on the desk powered by a Core i7-7700HQ processor and a GeForce GTX 1070 GPU.

For added ambience, the room features lighting that responds to the game you’re playing using the immersive Alienware AlienFX technology, as well as peripherals too numerous to list.

Hilton has been experimenting with smart room technology for some time, but this new partnership with Alienware is taking things to the next level. Juan Carlos Garcés of Intel told the website Homecrux, “With this unique offer in the market, once again the Hilton Panama Hotel is consolidated as a hotel that focuses its tourism offer on providing unique and memorable experiences to its customers, guests, and visitors.”

The room runs $349 per night and features a fantastic view of Panama City beaches and the Pacific Ocean, but most visitors staying in Room 2425 will probably spend their entire vacation with the curtains drawn. Just be sure the minibar is fully stocked beforehand.

Reddit will force everyone to log in, and there’s no escape if you want to post or just lurk
The login-only experience will go into the testing phase in the coming months, starting with a few overseas markets.
reddit

Reddit is making login mandatory for all users of the platform. In a lengthy post, the Reddit chief explained that the company is moving to a permanently logged-in experience because it wants to offer users more personalization, helping them find content that’s more relevant to their interests and tastes.

The core idea, according to the company, is to nudge users into joining more communities and engaging with content through comments, votes, and more. The company, however, assures that the change won’t affect anonymity, which has long been one of the platform’s core appeals. The sign-up flow isn’t changing either. You won’t be required to submit any information beyond what’s already needed to create a Reddit account.

Your search engine could be hijacked by a Chrome extension that barely does anything
Your next search might take a detour you never approved.
Google Chrome

A browser extension that does nothing except change your search engine sounds harmless, almost boring, right? After reading this research, I’m convinced you shouldn't ignore it.

Security firm Socket says it found over 300 Chrome extensions that quietly swap a user’s default search engine and route every search through servers controlled by the people behind them before it reaches Bing or Yahoo. Even more alarming, these extensions have reportedly racked up roughly 13.4 million installs over the past decade.
