Johnzoid, the YouTube collector who spends his time hunting down the strangest electronics you can find, recently scored something that used to require a prison sentence. He ordered a JPay JP Mini 5 tablet on eBay, the same small device handed out free to inmates in multiple state systems. When the package arrived, it still carried the full institutional paperwork and a device ID that looks an awful lot like an inmate number.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, a 1998 Nintendo 64 adventure, is now available as a native app for iPhones and iPads. Full screen resolution, sixty frames per second, widescreen perspective, usable touch overlays, Bluetooth controllers that simply work, plus keyboard and mouse capabilities for good measure. There is no blurry 240p image, no stuttering twenty-frame limit from the original hardware, and no remote streaming via PC. The game has been recreated and is now running on the device itself.
Night falls over a quiet industrial yard or a sprawling campus. Most security systems wait for something to happen. 1ROLLO does not. This tall, single-wheeled machine from Estonian startup Rollo Robotics rolls along preset routes under its own power, scanning everything around it while balancing on one fat tire.
Anbernic just pulled the cover off its newest handheld, and the shape alone will stop anyone who grew up with a Game Boy Advance SP. The RG SP closes flat into a compact clamshell that sits almost exactly where the original did in a backpack or jacket pocket. Closed dimensions come in at 83 by 82 by 24 millimeters and the whole unit weighs about 168 grams. That is roughly ten percent thinner than Anbernic’s earlier clamshells and noticeably more pocket-friendly than most modern Linux handhelds.
Summer temperatures keep pushing higher across the map, and grids feel the pressure. Air conditioners run nonstop, transformers strain, and outages arrive with little warning. In those hours a reliable backup power station stops being a nice-to-have and becomes the difference between a minor inconvenience and a real problem. The DJI Power 1000, priced at $349 (was $699), steps into that role with a combination of capacity, output, and practical design that matches the needs of actual emergencies.
