Automotive designer Ugur Sahin has a habit of drawing cars that Porsche executives wish they had thought of sooner. From his workshop in the Netherlands, this digital artist turns idle what-ifs into sparkling visions, and his latest creation, the Porsche 960 GT RS, is not an official idea, but a secret challenge.
Zack Nelson, the mastermind behind JerryRigEverything, has a reputation for putting smartphones through their paces, and Apple’s new iPhone Air—its slimmest design ever at 5.6mm—just got put to the test. Fans of Nelson’s YouTube channel know what to expect: scratches, flames, and bends that test equipment to their limits.
Mark Rumsey eases the collective lever forward, and the Mirocopter SCH-2A takes flight from a cleared spot in La Cresta, a quiet neighborhood nestled in the hills near Murrieta, California. The rotors above him—two sets piled one on top of the other, whirling in opposite directions—hum steadily as he steers the nose northward. With only 6.5 miles to his destination, Lake Elsinore, this isn’t a long journey.
Labubu monsters, those little toothy creatures from Pop Mart, are taking over and we can’t get enough of them. One maker chose a different approach: fire up the 3D printer and build one from scratch.
The iPhone Air has a super thin frame, 5.6mm to be exact, and manages to fit a 3,149mAh battery in there. But for power hungry users, the battery barely lasts a day. Enter Apple’s $99 MagSafe battery pack, a magnetic companion that claims to add 65% more battery life, extending video playback to 44 hours. It’s 0.3 inches thicker than the phone, so what’s inside?
Murena has long intended to provide consumers with smartphones that are not constantly monitored by big tech. Their most recent project, the HIROH, takes things to the next level by creating a gadget from the ground up. No more reliance on repurposed models from other brands. This one has genuine hardware and a method that eliminates traditional data collection.
Just a few short months ago, purchasing a Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle from Amazon meant crossing your fingers for an email invite that might never arrive. Today, anyone can add it to their cart without any hassle.
Microsoft has raised the prices of its Xbox Series consoles again, and this time it’s U.S. gamers who will feel the pinch starting October 3. This isn’t the first price increase this year, but it’s a big one, with prices going up $20 to $70 across the board. Let’s break it down, model by model, and what it means for anyone looking to buy a new Xbox.
