Disney has just released the first TRON Ares trailer, and it teases a massive Recognizer ship looming over San Francisco. It’s slated for release on October 10, 2025 in the US, likely with IMAX and Dolby options to maximize those visuals and sound.
Astronomers just spotted a huge spiral galaxy using James Webb Space Telescope data that they’re nicknaming a “Big Wheel’ because it’s so big and comes from way back in time. This galaxy is about five times heavier than our Milky Way and covers an area twice as wide, making it one of the biggest spiral galaxies they’ve ever seen in the distant universe.
The Video-Volley is an old home video game system from around 1980, probably made right at the end of the big Pong craze in the late 1970s. It was built by TD Manufacturing Company, a name you won’t find in big gaming books, so it was likely a small company or one that only sold stuff locally in Texas. They might have jumped into video games after seeing Atari’s Home Pong hit it big in 1975, but didn’t stick around long.
The Ulefone Armor 30 Pro is a rugged smartphone with two screens and super-fast 5G internet. It has a big 6.95-inch main screen that refreshes 120 times a second for smooth scrolling, plus a smaller 3.4-inch screen on the back. That back screen is great for stuff like taking selfies, checking videos before you record, or even helping with translations. Both are covered with tough Corning Gorilla Glass 5 to keep them from scratching or breaking.
The Car Zoo, a shop in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, England, came up with a fun idea. They took a small Japanese car called a Suzuki Twin Kei Car and turned it into a full-sized, working version of the famous Little Tikes Cozy Coupe—that red-and-yellow toy car lots of people remember from when they were kids.
Westwood Robotics’ brand-new THEMIS V2 is a life-sized robot that’s about 5 feet 3 inches tall, and it’s got 40 different ways it can move (called degrees of freedom, or DoF). That means it can bend and twist a lot, almost like a person. The biggest improvements in this version are its arms, capable of moving in 6 different ways, while its hands (called end-effectors), can move in 7 ways.

Windows 365 Link is a small, easy-to-use device made just for connecting to Windows 365, a service from Microsoft that lets you use a computer stored in the cloud (basically, on the internet). This little box—about the size of a sandwich (4.72 x 4.72 x 1.18 inches)—turns on super fast and brings your personal Windows setup straight to you from Microsoft’s cloud. It’s not a regular computer that works on its own; instead, it’s like a special doorway to your cloud-based PC.

Nintendo just shared some news that’s got Switch fans in the U.S. buzzing—and not in a good way. They were supposed to start taking pre-orders for the Switch 2 on April 9, 2025, but now that’s been put on hold. Why? Well, they’re trying to figure out how new tariffs and some shaky market stuff might mess with their plans.
Let me tell you about the Bear Blaster 5000, a custom-built zapper that appears to be from the Halo universe, by Jay from the Plasma Channel. This thing is designed to keep bears away, not with pepper spray or loud noises, but with a whopping 280,000 volts of electricity. It’s not about hurting the bear, but rather giving it a big, loud scare with crackling sparks so it runs off.
