Daniel Riley set out to tackle an issue that had been plaguing him: what if you built a drone with propeller blades a mile longer than regular models? His design features 41-inch blades that reach from tip to tip and spin at a steady 350 to 500 revolutions per minute, a far cry from the tiny, high-speed propellers seen on nearly every commercial drone on the market.
Software is being rolled out to Samsung Galaxy XR devices beginning April 7th, and one of the new features is an experimental setting that adds a new dimension to 2D material inside the headset. Auto Spatialization handles the translation from 2D to 3D so you don’t have to edit a single web page’s code or modify any apps, allowing you to continue watching YouTube or browsing the web while seeing the sites come to life in 3D with layers that provide a sense of depth and space.
Skoda started as a bike manufacturer in 1896 and later expanded into vehicles and trucks. Over a century later, the company is revisiting an early item of riding gear. Standard bike bells are just not loud enough to catch the attention of anyone using noise-canceling headphones, which is a big problem in this situation.
Smartphones are constantly improving their rear cameras, but the front cameras are falling behind in terms of quality and detail. Insta360 chose to address this issue square on with the Snap, a thin, magnetic display that hooks onto the back of your phone and provides a live view directly from those far better rear cameras. Creators and casual photographers can now frame, modify, and capture selfies or short videos without having to guess which lens is which or rotate the phone around in the middle of the shoot.
Product designer Matty Benedetto discovered some clips of passengers stranded in airport security lines and clogged airport terminals. He determined that his next trip needed to be less of a nightmare, so he set out to design a carry-on suitcase that would make the entire experience a little less stressful. More specifically, he decided to create one from scratch using his 3D printers.
Tesla owners with HW4 hardware awoke today to get a lot more out of their automobiles. The most recent FSD (Full Self-Driving) version 14.3 was released with the recently released software update 2026.2.9.6, and it’s impossible not to get the impression that some significant progress has been achieved since the first drive. The team basically ditched the existing AI compiler / runtime and started over, using a new method called MLIR.

On April 6, four Artemis II astronauts in the Orion spacecraft sailed past the moon, and the photographs they brought back home revealed how familiar and yet completely unfamiliar the moon can appear. The closest they got to the surface was roughly 4,000 miles, but that doesn’t include the hours later when the crew sailed out to a record-breaking 252,756 miles from Earth, surpassing Apollo 13’s mark from back in the day.
8849’s Tank Pad Ultra is a rugged beast, weighing over three pounds and measuring 10.6 x 6.7 x 0.9 inches. On the other hand, it has a lot going for it, including a screw-on handle that hooks securely in the rear and swings out to provide a very sturdy stand for watching or projecting videos. Plus, it’s quite water resistant, so you can take it outside or throw it in a backpack without fear of it breaking.
Airline tickets continue to rise as summer approaches, and more families are opting to road trips for the impromptu stops and vast open spaces they love. Often there is a cooler full of delicacies and various devices that require a constant supply of electricity to function and keep food fresh along the road. Jackery kept all of this in mind when designing the Solar Generator 1000 v2 bundle, priced at $699 (was $1299), which includes a 1070 watt-hour battery and a 200 watt solar panel, allowing drivers to enjoy their freedom without the added weight or noise of a generator.
Japanese musicians commemorated Wikipedia’s 25th anniversary with a unique composition made up entirely of Wikipedia entries. Open Reel Ensemble produced the song as part of a virtual birthday celebration, and it’s a true journey because it’s totally made up of ancient reel-to-reel equipment that also function as instruments. Every sound is produced by physically moving the tape over the heads, with no artificial samples added after the fact.
