The TI-84 Evo Makes Math Move at Student Speed for a Bargain Price

By Jackson Chung August 10, 2026

Back-to-school season always brings the same scramble for supplies that will still work two, three, even four years later. Graphing calculators sit near the top of that list for anyone heading into algebra, geometry, precalculus, statistics, or calculus. Texas Instruments just made the choice clearer with the TI-84 Evo, priced at $86 (was $160), a deliberate step forward from the long-running TI-84 Plus CE that keeps the familiar foundation while fixing the slowdowns and clutter that used to slow kids down.

Kiara’s Functional Pokemon Arceus Ball Boasts Smoke, Spring, and a Single Leap

By Bill Smith August 10, 2026

Kiara from Kiara’s Workshop has a habit of pulling game mechanics into the physical world and making them work. Her newest project targets the catch sequence unique to Pokémon Legends: Arceus. In that older setting a successful capture does not produce the familiar series of rapid shakes. The ball instead rises once into the air while a burst of smoke escapes from the top. A failure simply opens the shell and plays a short sound.

Winbot W2S Pro Omni Robot Climbs Glass and Leaves the Edges Looking Finished

By Bill Smith August 10, 2026

Robot vacuums solved floors years ago, while windows stayed stubborn. Tall panes, frameless panels, sliding doors, and mirrors still demand ladders, squeegees, and a weekend you would rather spend elsewhere.

A White Dwarf Sculpts the Lion’s Face in Webb’s New Infrared View

By Jackson Chung August 10, 2026

Astronomers have long known NGC 2392 by several names, yet the latest images from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope make the Lion Nebula nickname feel newly earned. Released today, the views combine near-infrared light from NIRCam and mid-infrared light from MIRI to show a planetary nebula roughly 5,000 light-years away in the constellation Gemini. What appears is a glowing, roughly circular structure about 2.6 light-years across, its center dominated by a bright point that looks for all the world like a button nose.
