Fans can now step into the world of Final Fantasy 16 exactly as it might have appeared on the Super Nintendo in 1991. A single developer named xvibit has turned the modern action game into a full turn-based role-playing experience complete with 16-bit graphics and fresh music. The result sits on itch.io as a free download that runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux machines.
Apple utilized the A18 CPU from its phones in its low-cost MacBook Neo laptop, but its cooling system is only capable of handling light duties. As soon as something demanding occurs, the heat rises, the processor throttles down, and you see your computer struggle to achieve what its hardware is capable of.
Stern Pinball released its newest game yesterday, and it captures the spirit of the original 1984 Transformers series in ways that feel fresh and hands-on. Players step right into the long-running fight between Optimus Prime’s Autobots and Megatron’s Decepticons, with the machine using moving robot figures, familiar voice lines, and story beats pulled straight from the old TV episodes. Every flipper shot and ball lock pulls you deeper into that world, and the details keep coming the longer you play.
Over the Hollywood Forever Cemetery last night, sixteen hundred drones turned the night into a living tribute to Eternia. The display followed the world premiere of Amazon MGM Studios’ new Masters of the Universe film and lasted exactly ten minutes. Every formation glowed with a clarity and intensity that earned the event an official Guinness World Record for the brightest aerial image formed by drones.

Fresh details emerged today about the smartphone OpenAI has under development. The company wants this device to let AI agents handle daily tasks directly instead of forcing users to navigate grids of apps. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo updated his findings on the project. Mass production now looks set for the first half of 2027. OpenAI hopes to move 30 million units between 2027 and 2028. That volume would position the phone as a serious option in the premium market alongside devices like the iPhone 18 Pro and the Galaxy S27 series.
SpaceX filed paperwork today that opens its books to the public for the first time and sets the stage for what could become the largest stock offering in history.

Mercedes-AMG just revealed its most powerful vehicle ever, and this time the GT 4-Door Coupe runs purely on electricity. Available in two versions, the GT 55 and the flagship GT 63, the new model swaps out any combustion engine for three axial flux motors that sit low and deliver instant force without any lag. The top version hits 1,153 horsepower when conditions line up, enough to push it from zero to 60 miles per hour in about two seconds. Even the milder GT 55 produces 805 horsepower and covers the same sprint in roughly 2.4 seconds. Both models share the same long, low body that stretches just over 200 inches from nose to tail, yet they weigh around 5,423 pounds thanks to a mix of aluminum, steel, and carbon-fiber pieces that keep everything stiff.
Anyone who scans store shelves for headphones quickly realizes that low prices usually indicate significant tradeoffs in noise reduction or listening time. Anker’s Soundcore Q20i, priced at $39.99 (was $70), disrupts this pattern by including features that continue to provide long after the first listen. Hybrid active noise cancellation is fundamental to the user experience. Four microphones inside and outside the ear cups detect ambient noise and reduce it up to 90% in real time.
Viewers get their clearest look yet at the live-action Spider-Noir series that places the web-slinger in a rain-soaked 1930s New York.
