Bitmo Lab’s much-anticipated GameBaby, a protective iPhone case that also serves as a retro gaming controller, has finally been released. First, attach it to your iPhone 15 Pro Max, 16 Pro Max, or the newer 17 series by sliding the top portion over your phone, making sure the volume buttons on the side are secure, and then snap the bottom part on from the bottom up.
Clicks, the company behind those awesome smartphone keyboard cases, just debuted its own phone, and it’s a game changer. Called the Communicator, this Android device was designed primarily to make texting, email, and quick responses easier.
The Meta Quest 3S 128GB was released not too long ago, and it is still selling well because people can’t get enough of it. Price is obviously an important consideration here; Meta has kept the Quest 3S reasonably priced, cutting it from $299.99 to $249.99, and if you act quickly, you can get a free $50 Amazon gift card as well with promotion code: QUEST50.
Pebble fans can finally catch their breath now that the wait is over. It’s official…the Round 2, a brand-new version of their beloved circular smartwatch that debuted in 2015. This redesigned model retains the distinctive slim, elegant shape while, more crucially, addressing all of the flaws that let the original down.
Columbia University researchers are collaborating with Stanford, the University of Pennsylvania, and New York Presbyterian Hospital to create a revolutionary new brain-computer interface. This chip fits snuggly on a single square of silicon that is hardly thicker than a human hair.
ACEMAGIC has just teased the Retro X5, a mini PC that flawlessly matches the nostalgic look of the original Nintendo Entertainment System from the 1980s. The first thing you notice is the grey plastic casing and front-loading cartridge door, which are similar to the original; even the controller ports have been reduced down to fit on your desk.

KaijuBuilds has created a new take on Portal 2 for LEGO Ideas, transforming Portal’s apparently infinite test rooms into a hands-on LEGO build with approximately 1280 pieces. Builders start with a large orange base plate covered in little connection points. Tiles snap on securely using short and long connectors held by technic pins and axles. These keep everything stable no matter how often someone rearranges the layout.
Commodore Amiga computers from the mid-80s had a serious issue with rendering moving images on the screen: their hardware could only handle a maximum of 8 sprites at any given moment. These sprites were the characters, enemies and special effects that made games seem alive. Developers found a way around this limitation, and the finished product was as spectacular as what the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) accomplished a few years later.
