Ski Helmet Usage Soars, While Tech World Debates Best Gaming Chip and VPN Choices
Ski helmet usage has dramatically increased in recent years, while tech enthusiasts are weighing the merits of AMD's latest Ryzen processor and navigating the crowded VPN market.
According to a University of Washington study, ski helmets provide a 63 to 88 percent reduction in the risk of head and brain injury for all ages. Usage has climbed from 25 percent during the 2002-03 season to 90 percent in 2021-22, with 100 percent of children under 9 now wearing helmets on the slopes, Wired reported. The designs have improved almost as much as the impact-protection.
In the tech world, AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D has been considered the best CPU for high-end gaming for at least the past year, Wired stated. The follow-up, the Ryzen 7 9850X3D, is technically faster, but the difference is negligible during actual gameplay.
The VPN market is saturated with options, but only some are trustworthy, according to Wired. VPNs are growing in popularity due to age-verification laws in the UK and in several states. Wired recommends Proton VPN Plus as the best overall VPN, NordVPN Plus as the best upgrade, Windscribe VPN as the best free VPN, and Surfshark Starter VPN as the best VPN for beginners.
