Skill Make spent most of his latest video doing the unglamorous part of high-voltage work: counting wire. A ferrite core got measured, a layered cylinder got designed around it, and a Formlabs printer laid that form down in clear resin. Hair-thin 0.1 mm wire then went on in sections of about 800 turns, tracked with a modified tally counter, until the secondary reached 12,000 turns.
Hyundai parked the fifth-generation Tucson against the Manhattan skyline today, and the shape alone explains why the company is calling this its boldest SUV. Soft curves from the last model give way to flat door skins, squared fender flares, and a stance that reads closer to a trail rig than a mall crossover. Hyundai labels the look Art of Steel. Full-width light bars run across the nose and tail, the daytime lamps sit low in a darkened cluster, and the rear lamps are prism-shaped pieces that stick out from the body. An optional Micro Pixel setup packs 25,600 individual LEDs for sharper beams and simple light animations.
Nintendo shipped the original Game Boy in 1989 with a sound chip small enough to live on batteries for hours, and that same chip is now running a full drum machine. Drum Machina Go!, shortened to DMGo!, treats those four voices as a step sequencer you can carry in a coat pocket. Two of them are pulse waves, the square tones behind so many early game soundtracks. One is a programmable waveform. The last is noise, the hiss and crackle that usually stands in for explosions and static.
Tesla Charging posted a brief demo today and a short line under it. Emergency Drive Away lets you shift into Drive while still plugged into a Supercharger. For anyone who has sat in a stall with the cable locked into the port, that sentence rewrites a rule the cars have enforced for years.
Keys vanish between couch cushions with a regularity that feels personal. Wallets slide into jacket pockets that later get hung in the wrong closet. Backpacks get set down at a coffee shop and stay there. AirTag 2, priced at $89 for the 4-pack (was $99), the second-generation tracker Apple released earlier this year, is built for those ordinary losses, and for the larger ones that start at an airport counter.
