Security cameras flood store shelves, but good 4K options are few and far between, especially if you’re on a tight budget. Wyze changed that with the Cam Pan v4, priced at $46 (was $60), the first of their cameras to record in Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 quality). This update makes a significant impact; the footage is significantly crisper than what you get with most inexpensive pans. Zooming in on details such as a face or a license plate creates a completely different image. That is especially true in retrospect.

Apple’s MacBook Neo has clearly struck a nerve, and it isn’t hard to see why people are already wondering what those same ideas might look like in a desktop form. Designer Sarang Sheth had exactly that thought, and the result is the Mac Neo concept, a compact desktop that takes everything that makes the laptop so compelling and reimagines it for the desk

Tomasz Patan took off from his own driveway in a Jetson ONE eVTOL, heading straight out to sea. Soon, he was flying low over the cliffs of Pismo Beach, following the coastline and headed directly over the pier, and the view most certainly stole his breath away as he made his way down the shoreline, passing a beach restaurant he’d flown over many times before.

Few electric scooters can touch 70 mph, let alone flirt with 100. Determined to close that gap himself, President Chay spent several weeks in his workshop piecing together something truly out of the ordinary. At the heart of it were three QS273 motors, each capable of putting out 30,000 watts on their own, adding up to a staggering 90,000 watts at peak output. Power came from three separate battery packs, each running at 72 volts and 45 amp hours, with every single pack requiring 600 individual lithium ion cells to build.

Tintin fans who grew up reading comic book pages late into the night can now hold his iconic Moon Rocket (set 21367) in their hands, a complete replica built from the ground up with bricks. This finished LEGO Ideas model is made up of over 1,283 pieces, and clearly aimed at adult fans, specifically those aged 18 and up.

Apple put the M5 Max CPU into their new 14-inch and 16-inch laptops, which include an 18-core processor, a 40-core graphics unit, and up to 128GB of shared memory. As a result, everyday tasks become lightning-fast routines, while large undertakings that would otherwise necessitate a separate tower machine become more than manageable.

Holding the official Xbox Wireless Controller in Shock Blue, priced at $39 (was $70), makes you appreciate the ergonomic design. When you consider how the geometry has been refined and the contours sculpted to accommodate different hand sizes, it’s fairly astounding, because it’s all about making you as comfortable as possible during those extended gaming sessions. Texture grips on the handles, triggers, and bumpers help you maintain a solid grip on the device even when things get hot and you’re sweating bullets in those online matches.

NGC 5134 is a scenic spiral galaxy 65 million light-years away from where we live, which NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope was fortunate enough to capture in stunning detail. The way this image was created is actually pretty cool: two of James Webb’s devices combined their near-infrared and mid-infrared data to produce an extremely clear composite view.

Colin Furze, a self-taught engineer, has a flair for coming up with new ways to use magnets. One comment from a viewer spurred an idea, and he set to work transforming a regular skateboard into something that appears to be just hovering above the ground. He’d already built a bike with magnetic suspension, but he wanted to apply the concept to four wheels, giving the ride a gentle, floating feel without needing standard springs or shocks.

Steven Irby spent years working in the tech industry before deciding to take control and create his own life. His most recent project provides a novel approach to watching videos online, eliminating the tedious task of endless scrolling and selecting. When you visit Channel Surfer, you’ll notice a layout reminiscent of the good old days of television. A channel guide sprawls over the screen, detailing all of the different categories, by era, topic, or anything else that piques your interest, as well as the times they air.
