Bandai spent two years chopping down a Tamagotchi so that it could survive on one hand. The Tamagotchi Ring is the end result: a 28-millimeter egg with a color screen, two functional side buttons, and 30 characters taken from three decades of the same hungry little creatures that were formerly fastened to backpacks.

Official remote-control Cybertrucks have shown up for years, most of them licensed, most of them expensive, and almost none of them built to float.

Phone Repair Guru set out to answer a simple question that keeps coming up in repair circles: can you order every piece of a laptop from AliExpress, put them together on a bench, and end up with something that actually boots and works. He chose an M1 MacBook Air because the parts listings exist in volume and the board itself is compact. Packages started arriving in waves. Small bags held screws, antennas, a microphone, USB-C boards, speakers, and an audio board with its flex cable. Larger boxes contained the top case with keyboard, a trackpad, a battery, the bottom case, a display assembly, and the logic board that already carried 128 GB of storage plus a Touch ID module.

Aardman Animations and The Pokémon Company International premiered a new teaser trailer Friday during a packed behind-the-scenes panel at Pokémon XP in San Francisco, the fan event running alongside the 2026 Pokémon World Championships.
