Retro fans know the pull of those pixelated battles from the NES era. The Mega Man My Play Watch gives exactly that in a wearable package for $80. The device is an officially licensed Capcom creation based on a rebuilt version of Mega Man 2, featuring original graphics, stages, bosses, and soundtrack.
Makers will always be chasing a dream, a wild concept, and few of those ideas come close to producing results as this one. The YapStopper 3000 is a device that can detect what someone is saying from across the room, add a tiny bit of delay, then fire that precise audio back at them, to the point that their brain can’t seem to put two meaningful sentences together.
Canon revealed the EOS R6 V today, and it arrives at exactly the right moment for people who film daily. This full-frame mirrorless body takes the solid sensor from the R6 III and shapes everything around video work, streaming, and quick social clips. The result feels purposeful rather than flashy, and once you start reading the specs, each choice makes the next one click into place.
A recent Figure AI tech showcase depicts two F.03 humanoid robots walking into a clean but lived-in environment. One robot goes straight to a coat thrown on a bed and hangs it neatly on a wall hook. At the same time, the second robot closes a laptop on the desk and places a pair of headphones back onto their stand. They keep progressing without pausing, each catching up on what the other has previously accomplished. When they approach the unmade bed, they naturally split off, one on each side, and begin manipulating the sheets and comforter together until everything is level and smooth.
The JP4x4 is a new take on two of the original Renault 4s: the Plein Air version, built in 1969 for open-air fun, and the JP4 from 1981, which seemed to channel carefree days by the sea. The name JP4 is derived from Journée à la Plage, which translates to “a day at the beach.” The new name JP4x4 incorporates the four-wheel drive feature, which is self-explanatory.
PhasedTech, a talented Apple enthusiast, had had enough of yearning for a Mac Studio. The compact beast of a computer had sleek lines, but let’s face it, the machine is pricey to say the least. So, rather than accepting a bad compromise and calling it a day, he loaded up all of his tools: a CNC machine and a 3D printer, and set out to make his own Mac Studio clone from the bottom up.
In the frame, NASA’s six-wheeled Perseverance rover is securely planted on a stretch of dirt far to the west of Jezero Crater. You can see its mast dipping down towards Arethusa, the rocky protrusion we’ve all become familiar with, before swinging back around to face the camera full on. Years of driving have created a fine layer of dust on the rover and its wheels, catching the light and creating a beautiful warm glow. Meanwhile, a new circular mark on Arethusa indicates where the rover dug in with its biters and removed a portion of the surface to examine what was hidden beneath. The robotic arm in front, with the WATSON camera attached to its end, is the one that took it all in.
Hours spent staring at a screen do stack up, when parts of your body begin to revolt, and Razer took all of this into account when designing the Iskur V2 X. They focused on day-to-day comfort and long workouts, and priced it all at $194.99 after clipping the on-page coupon (was $300).
