Alfa Romeo’s Bottegafuoriserie division finished a single 33 Stradale for a collector who wanted the car finished in bare carbon and little else. He named it Perla Nera, Italian for black pearl, and stayed involved through the build. Cristiano Fiorio, who runs the division for both Alfa Romeo and Maserati, said every detail was worked out with the owner. The car sits on chassis 03 of the 33-car run and will stay at the Museo Alfa Romeo in Arese until October 18 before it leaves for delivery.
A pocket-sized adding machine that costs two dollars in filament and a dab of oil should not work. This one does. YouTuber 3D All Workshop spent two months designing, reprinting, and oiling a fully FDM mechanical calculator that uses no screws, no metal springs, and no electronics, then showed the whole fight in a video.

CAD files published this morning by Android Headlines, built with OnLeaks, give the first clear look at the Pixel 11a, Google’s next midrange phone, internally called Formosan. Anyone who has held a Pixel 10a will recognize the body almost immediately. Cameras sit flush with the back glass, the same flat treatment that arrived on last year’s A-series, and the frame stays within a hair of the old measurements.
Game of Tobi spent the last stretch of September proving that Super Mario 64 can move on a Super Nintendo if the cartridge carries a Super FX chip. His video, titled Fine, I made Super Mario FX, shows the result on original hardware, with Mario jumping through low, blocky versions of rooms that still read as Peach’s Castle, Bob-omb Battlefield, and Jolly Roger Bay.
Filip and Peter stood on the shore of a small lake and pressed the button that cut every link to the machine in the water. For the first time the submarine they have been building for more than a year had to find its own way home, with no radio, no tether, and no one steering. They could not see it. They could not hear it. A few minutes later it broke the surface near the spot where the mission was supposed to end.
