Porsche’s 911 GT3 has long been known for straddling the line between everyday usability and track-ready performance. Now, with the latest Manthey kit, designed specifically for the new 992.2 model, that delicate balance has moved substantially in favor of the track.
If you find yourself staring longingly at an old floppy disk and wondering where all the charm has gone in modern gadgets, the Pocket8086 might just be the ticket to bring you back to the warm light of a CRT. This compact device from Chinese manufacturer 8086YES! manages to compress the essence of an 80s IBM PC XT into a clamshell that’s smaller than the typical tablet, which is quite a squeeze to say the least.
Holiday shopping season typically means crowded stores, but buying a console online flips that script.

Robots that look and move like us are proving their worth on city streets, or at least in Shanghai. AgiBot’s A2 recently made history by walking 65-miles without stopping. This Guinness World Records-certified event took place over three days in November 2025.

Engineers at MIT created a flat device that hums with sound waves too rapid for human ears to detect. These waves rattle water droplets from materials absorbed from the air, converting humidity into a constant stream of clean liquid. In areas where taps run empty and rivers remain far, this system offers a quiet revolution. There are no large factories or endless pipes necessary. Just air, a little vibration, and a few ingenious bits operating in tandem.
Hot dogs have always been about simplicity. Slap one on a bun, add some ketchup / mustard / relish, and you’re ready for a quick bite. But Joel Creates took that concept and wired it for actual electricity. His most recent creation transforms the basic frankfurter into its own heat source, all housed in a device tiny enough to fit in your jacket pocket.
Edwin Olding stood in his garage, his Facebook Marketplace-sourced forklift buzzing like a 1960s monster, ready to open a container that had just crossed the ocean. He spotted the item on Alibaba months before: a full motion racing simulator that spun 360 degrees in all directions. It was a gamble to say the least at $7,000 (plus $3,500 for shipping and customs).
A pair of robots stand seven meters apart on an indoor court, their hands outstretched in the same way that outfielders do. One robot throws a baseball at its partner at 70 mph, which is a pretty good high school fastball, while the other’s receiving arm springs forward in a blur to catch the ball mid-air with a quiet thud against a bespoke glove. Without missing a beat, the glove flicks back, and the robot whips the ball back, creating a flawless arc through the air. All of this was captured on camera in a brief tech demo by RAI Institute researchers last week.
Late-fall walks through muddy trails and early-winter sprints along fog-shrouded coasts both require one thing: a buddy who can keep up without leaving you behind. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is that companion, a tough titanium slab that confidently enters the harsh stuff. For the everyday person who values endurance over having the latest bells and whistles on their watch, the Ultra 2 provides a seamless marriage of toughness as well as brains for a price that is a steal to say the least, or more specifically $599 (was $799).
