Matty Benedetto keeps finding new ways to turn everyday habits into elaborate projects. This time the Vermont designer behind Unnecessary Inventions has built a portable snack safe that stays shut until its owner logs a set number of steps. The idea is simple enough. Load a treat, dial in the calorie count, close the lid, and start walking. Only after the counter hits zero does the door release.
InnoView put together a 15.6-inch portable monitor, priced at $99.99 (was $160), that aims to solve the constant space problem for people who work or create away from a desk. This model adds a full HD touchscreen, a built-in stand, and a protective sleeve so the whole package stays useful without adding much bulk to a bag.
Saturday afternoon traffic on Columbia Pike near Fairland Road in Silver Spring, Maryland, turned nasty in an instant. At 1:43 p.m. on July 18, Nation Capital Movers’ moving truck lost control and collided with a line of vehicles. The accident set off a chain reaction crash that involved at least ten cars and trucks. Among the ruins was a Tesla Cybertruck that no longer seemed like a complete vehicle to say the least.
Kodak just handed film beginners a camera they can actually stick in a jeans pocket without second thoughts. This little plastic box called the EC35 costs thirty-five dollars and works with any standard roll of 35mm film. Reto Project builds it under the Kodak name, and the whole point is simple: give people who have never touched film something that feels as easy as the disposable cameras they grew up seeing at drugstores, only this one lasts longer than a single roll.
Anduril Industries revealed Thunder today at the Farnborough Airshow, a Group 5 autonomous attack rotorcraft developed jointly with Archer Aviation. The platform is designed from the start to fly alongside current and next-generation crewed attack and assault helicopters, multiplying their firepower while keeping human crews farther from the most dangerous parts of the fight.
