Late in 2008, NComputing boxed a full-height PCI card, five palm-sized terminals, and a disc of vSpace software and sold the kit as the X550 for $449. One kit added five extra seats to a single desktop. Seat six stayed on the host itself, so six people could work at once, each with a private monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers. A second kit in a second PCI slot pushed the same tower to eleven sessions.

Sophia Tung spent a year turning Nintendo’s orange boombox-on-wheels into a street-legal machine she could actually ride. The YouTuber and engineer, already known for deep dives into robotaxis and emerging tech, became so hooked on Mario Kart World that she decided the Tune Thumper had to exist in real life at full size. Everything on it works: speakers play music, buttons click and pause tracks, headlights and taillights fire up, the antenna stands tall, and a Nintendo Switch 2 dock sits inside the cassette-door section so you can play the game on the very bike it came from.
Bandai spent two years chopping down a Tamagotchi so that it could survive on one hand. The Tamagotchi Ring is the end result: a 28-millimeter egg with a color screen, two functional side buttons, and 30 characters taken from three decades of the same hungry little creatures that were formerly fastened to backpacks. Official pre-orders began in Japan on August 27, 2026, with boxes shipping in February 2027.
Official remote-control Cybertrucks have shown up for years, most of them licensed, most of them expensive, and almost none of them built to float. Dafotil KT912A, priced at $30.59 (was $36), skipped the licensing fee and the premium price, then gave the angular stainless look a pair of fat tires and a sealed body that actually works in water.
