Kevin Cate created Open Door, a 3-minute horror short that has went viral. A couple of coworkers get into an elevator for a typical ride, but then it just stops and dips, and you start hearing whispers and getting the impression that something is lurking down in the darkness. Nearly 15 million people have watched it on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, and they’re still going crazy trying to figure out what happens next.
A compact bag holds a complete workstation that needs only a power outlet and a table. The Mac Mini M4 sits inside alongside its cable, a slim keyboard, a trackpad, and one pair of VITURE Beast XR glasses. No separate monitor travels with it. The glasses supply the display once the user arrives and plugs in.
Marshall designed the Stanmore III, priced at $249.99 (was $400), to capture the look and feel of its famous amplifiers while giving people a straightforward way to fill a room with music. The result sits in that sweet spot between lifestyle speaker and serious audio hardware, and it earns plenty of praise as one of the stronger home Bluetooth options available. A cloth grille stretches across the front with the gold Marshall script logo front and center. Leatherette sides and top give it a durable, premium texture that feels good to the touch. Brass-finished knobs and switches on the upper panel complete the vintage amplifier impression without looking like a costume piece.

Construction crews will soon start work on a remote valley floor in Nevada. Caltech astronomers intend to place 1,650 radio dishes across a rectangle roughly 20 kilometers long and 16 kilometers wide. The finished array will sweep the visible sky several times during its first five years of operation and move 100 times faster than any radio telescope now in use.
Google rolled out an experimental flight simulator inside its web-based Earth viewer this week. The addition revives a tool long present in the desktop software and opens it to anyone who opens a browser tab. People have been able to access a version of this tool in the desktop software for years, though it stayed mostly out of sight. The web edition brings it to anyone with a browser and an internet connection without extra software.
