James Channel reached into a pile of spare parts and pulled out a dusty PlayStation 2 Slim that had sat unused for years. The console carried an intact warranty seal yet refused to read discs. Fans had imagined portable PS2 play since the early 2000s, but official hardware never arrived in that form. Channel decided to finish the job himself in a Frankenstein-like manner.
Engineers at Blue Origin had the New Glenn rocket fully stacked and ready at Launch Complex 36 on Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. They prepared for a standard static fire test. The check would run the first-stage engines for a short time while the vehicle stayed secured on the ground. This step formed part of preparations for a planned early June flight carrying Amazon satellites.
Matt Spears has turned more than one unlikely vehicle into a spot to sleep. His latest effort started with a big, damaged Sea-Doo Explorer jet ski that weighed well over a thousand pounds and stretched about twelve feet long. The machine had already crashed into rocks once, leaving cracks in the hull. He bought it anyway and set out to make it something he could live on for a night or longer.
Plurial Novilia handed over ViliaSprint² in Bezannes, France, after crews completed the full structure in noticeably less time than a matching conventional building right next door. The project delivers 12 social housing apartments across three floors and 800 square meters of living space. Each unit opens onto its own timber balcony. A gently curved outer wall and rounded floor plan give the building its shape without the usual extra cost that custom molds would demand on a standard job.
Frequent travelers know the drill all too well. A hotel or Airbnb provides one connection, yet every phone, laptop, and tablet needs its own login. One person handles the captive portal page while others wait. Friends or family members end up asking for the password repeatedly. TP-Link built the Roam 6 AX1500, priced at $49.99 (was $60), to remove that friction entirely.
