Action adventure fans with a soft spot for classic hardware now hold a genuine piece of Elden Ring in their hands. BoxingBruin, a game developer, spent years learning the ins and outs of Nintendo 64 programming before he and collaborator HelloNewman formed Team Zero Cool. Together they built Pandemonium, a dark-fantasy boss battle that feels right at home on the old console. The project started as an entry in the 2025 64brew Game Jam and arrived as a full playable demo in May 2026.
Apple designed this laptop to accomplish everyday tasks without attracting attention to itself. The 13.6-inch MacBook Air M5, priced at $899.99 (was $1,100), weighs only 2.7 pounds and is 0.44 inches thick, allowing it to be easily stored in a backpack or tote until needed. Aluminum feels robust but light in the touch, and the color options offer enough variety without confounding decisions.

Compact cars from the late 1980s hold a special place for many drivers who value nimble handling and simple fun. One model in particular draws lasting attention from that era. Designers Vitaly Batalka and CG artist Valentin Komkov recently completed a digital project that updates the second-generation Honda CRX from 1987 to 1991 with battery power.
Mr. More Gooder spends his time in the workshop turning everyday ideas into hands-on experiments. This time he decided to tackle a stubborn problem with rocket engines built on standard FDM 3D printers. Plastic parts usually fail quickly once the fuel ignites because the heat softens and melts the material. He came up with a direct fix by routing water through channels inside the printed walls to carry the heat away before the plastic could give way.
Compaq once stood as a giant in personal computers. Decades later, the brand lives on through licensing agreements with other companies. One result is the Qtab Pro, an 11-inch Android tablet now available on store shelves. The story behind it mixes history with everyday hardware in ways that keep drawing attention.
