Nearly two weeks after the iPhone Duo reached Apple Stores, a pattern of cracked inner screens has shifted some attention toward the Galaxy Z Fold8, currently priced at $1,599.99 (was $1,900). Owners reported the damage appearing after only a handful of openings, often with a tight hinge and a pop just before a bright line formed across the display.
Connor of Pre Internet set out to construct the world’s smallest Blockbuster Video, a scratch-built miniature that captures the late-nineties strip-mall version of the chain with a fully stocked interior lined with 1200 tiny VHS tapes. He began by researching a specific Dallas location that matched the familiar aesthetic of blue awnings and open floor plans, tracking down county records and reaching an architect through LinkedIn who still held the original blueprints.
Hubble’s recent highlight of NGC 4449 places a dwarf irregular galaxy roughly 12.5 million light-years away in Canes Venatici under close scrutiny, and the object’s ragged outline does most of the explanatory work. Scattered blue-white clusters of massive stars sit next to pinkish patches of active formation and dark silhouettes of gas and dust that cut across a roughly rectangular core, producing a clumpy, cloud-like appearance rather than any tidy spiral or elliptical form.
OKA calls it Mori, and its roughly twelve-inch appearance resembles a mushroom-shaped table lamp that wandered in from a forest clearing rather than any robot most people have seen. A rounded, lighting cap rests above a plush wool-blend torso, and when the head lifts, a pair of active eyes appear, as does a small diamond-shaped nose holding a camera.
Barely a week after the Nintendo Switch 2 jailbreak surfaced, a free open-source emulator called Eglantine has already shown Mario Kart World holding a steady 60 frames per second on desktop PCs. Developer Camille LaVey started the project as a fork that draws from Eden, Yuzu, and Sudachi, then layered in the experimental Switch 2 work that Takoroka first added to Eden under the name NX2. Written in C++ and built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, the code arrives as frequent pre-releases that land nearly hourly, each one carrying small, concrete fixes rather than vague promises.
