Samsung New Zealand found a property agent named Tim Cook in Palmerston North, handed him a Galaxy Z Fold 8, and filmed him like an Apple keynote. Glasses, quiet clothes, calm delivery. Caption on the post: “Tim Cook has an announcement. And for once, it’s about Galaxy.”

AOC’s 16T20, priced at $49.99 (was $70), is a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS panel built to ride along with a laptop instead of staying on a desk. Resolution is 1920 by 1080 at 60Hz, response time is listed at 4ms, and the viewing angles are 178 degrees in both directions, so documents and video still look even when you share the screen across a table.

Toyota Gazoo Racing put the GR KART on sale in Japan on September 10 for 385,000 yen, about $2,500 including tax, as a closed-course machine meant to get children and families onto a track without the usual pile of extra cost. Each unit comes from the small Gamagori GR KART Workshop in Aichi Prefecture, where staff apply Toyota Production System methods to a product far smaller than any passenger car. Official goals match a long-standing wish from chairman Akio Toyoda, who has said motorsports should be as easy to pick up as baseball or soccer.

Nintendo almost never hands another company the keys to its hardware. In July 1986 Sharp walked out of that arrangement with a Japan-only console that stuffed a Family Computer and a Family Computer Disk System into one box and charged ¥32,000 for the privilege, more than buying both Nintendo units separately. Sharp already had a working relationship with Nintendo through Game & Watch production and a Famicom built into a television, and Sharp even held an older “Famicon” trademark from a convection oven. That history, plus a license, produced the Twin Famicom: a 60-pin cartridge slot, a disk-card slot with a yellow eject button, and a switch under the cartridge bay that locked one format while the other ran.

Webb’s NIRCam and MIRI cameras filled a 2.5-by-1.8-arcminute frame with the inner parsec of the Milky Way, a packed star field 26,000 light-years away in Sagittarius. IRS 3 sits in that crowd, a cool, luminous asymptotic giant branch star only 0.55 light-years from Sagittarius A*, the four-million-solar-mass black hole at the center of the galaxy. NASA posted the composite on September 10, 2026, from data taken August 11. Mid-infrared light from the same field had already given astronomers something they had never measured cleanly for this object: oxygen-rich silicate dust and water molecules in the star’s own envelope.
