Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 will be available on PS5 in April of this year, and there will be no additional cost to enjoy it in Virtual Reality. Sim Update 5 includes the VR mode as well as a few other minor improvements, such as snazzy new avionics and compatibility for five new payware aircraft. Anyone who already owns the game on PS5 will be able to try out the VR feature for free because, let’s be honest, the timing looks promising for a release in the first half of next month.
Test footage shows the Omo-X electric scooter remaining as stable as a rock on a seesaw despite the platform heaving beneath it, but only because no one is on board. This is all down to the control moment gyroscope, which was adapted from satellites / spacecraft and spins as fast as lightning to counteract any tilt.
Gamers who remember sliding cartridges into their old Game Boy Color will feel right at home when they pick up the PicoPal. Its clear plastic shell displays all of the internal components while maintaining the classic shape and button layout of old. The small LEDs illuminate the directional pad and action buttons with customizable brightness, making them ideal for late-night gaming sessions when all you want to do is keep playing. And a 2.6-inch screen front and center displays lovely crisp colors on games that used to seem tiny on vintage Game Boys.
Every year, millions of tons of sawdust accumulate in mountains as a result of lumber mills around the world producing wood products. The majority of it is either put into a furnace to generate energy or ends up in landfills, where it does nothing but release all of the carbon it has accumulated. However, researchers at ETH Zurich have discovered a technique to convert that garbage into solid panels that will work well as inside walls and partitions.
The Unitree As2 is not your typical robot dog. Compact enough to squeeze into spaces where larger machines simply cannot follow, it measures 720 by 378 by 457 millimeters standing upright and tips the scales at just 18 kilograms with the battery fitted, yet it is built to handle the kind of heavy duty work you would not normally expect from something this size.
Most people would hear the question and move on without a second thought. Janus Cycle heard it and got to work. The goal was simple but slightly absurd: could a candle power an original Nintendo Game Boy? As it turns out, yes, and the result is a fully working handheld that loads games and stays lit without a single battery or power outlet in sight.
Busy airports and crowded city streets have a way of putting your belongings at risk, and summer travel only turns up the volume on both. Most bags promise convenience or security, but rarely both. Seasoned travelers know the value of keeping a spare bag tucked inside their luggage for whenever plans change unexpectedly, and the Travelon Anti-Theft Active Packable Backpack, priced at $25 (was $60), is built exactly for that moment, folding down neatly into its own dedicated pouch until you need it.
A deep blue silk figure just hangs there in the air, as if its entire figure is staring back at the light, definitely human, with clouds and ocean extending out below and darkness creeping in from above. Nearby cameras are softly turning, capturing every small change in the fabric as it moves. It’s from The Dorothy Project, a curious group of scientists and artists that collaborated to transport high-end gear to the edge of space by high-altitude balloon. Where the line between creativity and technical know-how becomes blurred.
Tesla brought a Cybercab prototype to SXSW 2026 for a few days of public viewing alongside their Optimus humanoid robot, and the crowds responded exactly as you might expect. Cameras were out everywhere, and a lucky few even managed to slip inside for a moment. The display itself was deliberately understated, with the Cybercab parked in a single spot rather than moving under its own power, letting the design do the talking.
Fans bring The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess to life on their own PCs by meticulously reconstructing the original code. Test footage reveals Link gliding through those classic fields and dungeons just as you remember from years ago, but on modern computer hardware with no middleman. To get to this point, the team had to completely decompile the original GameCube release, which meant translating every line of code into plain English so that a computer could read and execute it on its own. The end product is a neat little file called TwilightPrincess.exe, which you can run on your Windows PC like any other software.
