Zac Builds was fed up with waiting for Valve to finally release their Steam Machine. So, he decided to do things the hard way and build his own version from the ground up, resulting in something that actually exceeded Valve’s official product in terms of speed and price. What started as a fun little competition to see who could be the first to market has grown into a full-featured gaming machine that anyone with basic tools can construct at home.
Compact size is rarely combined with so much capability in one device. Google designed the Pixel 10 Pro, priced at $749 (was $999), with everyday requirements in mind, rather than breaking records on paper, and that mindset has resulted in a phone that feels robust and ready to go day after day.
James from ProjectAir set out to build the world’s largest remote-controlled submarine. His finished machine was an impressive 2.7 meters (8.9 feet) long and made extensive use of 3D printing, with the body, fins, propeller, and structural pieces all created using it. You don’t have to be an expert in underwater boat construction to understand how much is at stake: one failure and that pricey toy is resting at the bottom of a lake, with no easy means to retrieve it. James was well aware of the risk, so he began with a much smaller prototype to test every single mechanism before going on to the final product.
Caviar has packed over two decades’ worth of technology into a single smartphone, the iPhone 2007 Edition, which is an extravagant custom version of the iPhone 17 Pro. This ultra-limited edition of the flagship smartphone incorporates an actual piece of the 2007 iPhone 2G directly into its frame, a part literally pulled from Apple’s first handset.
Carwow’s Mat Watson crossed the Atlantic to organize this unusual showdown on a California ranch. Two vehicles lined up for a day of flat-out racing, with little in common other than a price tag of roughly $120,000. On one side, there’s the Corvette Z06 designed for cornering, while on the other is Rivian’s full-size electric truck, which has four motors and enough power to move a home. Despite the comparable price tag, their approach to speed could not have been more different.
Sceye engineers have created a platform that can float in the stratosphere, similar to a portable cell tower that can be relocated as needed. The High-Altitude Platform System is a helium-filled balloon outfitted with solar panels, batteries, and some seriously useful electric motors, all of which allow it to hover in the same spot for days or weeks at a time, churning out a dependable internet connection that ordinary phones and tablets can pick up down below.
During the sub-venue of the 2026 China Media Group Spring Festival Gala, held at Luogang Park in Hefei, 22,580 drones took to the skies at the same time, setting a new Guinness World Record. Guangdong EHang Egret Media Technology Co set a record for the most drones airborne simultaneously from a single computer on February 3rd in Hefei, Anhui Province.
Engineers from a Turkish tuning shop recently built the world’s first twin-turbocharged Porsche 911 GT3 RS. This creature is poised to dominate the roads and has now extended its reach into the air with a direct challenge. The team behind OFFICIALLY GASSED set up a series of races on a private runway to pit the modified automobile against a helicopter.
A new video has just been released showcasing what it looks like when a gamer decides to rebuild pieces of Resident Evil Code Veronica, a 2000 Dreamcast classic, in Unreal Engine 5 from scratch. On April 11th, the creator, Yuri from Luli Studio, posted the brief concept demo. In it, Claire Redfield walks through a rain-soaked graveyard that feels real before entering the terrifying Ashford Mansion, where every element refers back to the original story.
Summer heat makes any travel difficult, especially if you’re transporting groceries and / or cold drinks. Drivers are frequently forced to rely on old, simple coolers with ice that melts faster than a popsicle on a hot day, leaving everything wet by the time they reach. That’s where the BougeRV 23-quart unit, priced at $159.97 (was $189.99), comes in, a more practical solution that plugs directly into your car’s normal 12V socket and keeps items perfectly chilled without any of the fuss.
