Liel Farhat enjoyed a sailing trip with friends near Athens when her iPhone 16 Pro ended up in the sea during a swimming stop. She had set the device down to take a photo. It slid into a net on the yacht and disappeared beneath the surface.

Over the weekend, visitors wandering along Australia’s Forrest Beach, just north of Townsville, came across something pretty unusual. A host of shining, metallic spheres began washing up on the beach, attracting attention due to their unique shapes and fittings in an area of the coastline where little else happens. Six of these appeared on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, each almost twice the size of a basketball.
Vertu has positioned its new Alpha Fold as a true ultra-luxury folding phone. The neon green version arrives wrapped in what the company describes as real alligator skin and carries a price near nine thousand dollars. JerryRigEverything acquired one and ran it through the full sequence of scratch, flame, bend, and teardown trials to see where the money actually goes and how the device performs under stress.
Current Concept, a maker who tackles ambitious mechanical builds, decided the classic potato cannon needed an upgrade. Single-shot models require constant reloading by hand. His version adds a belt that carries multiple potatoes forward one at a time, paired with sliding seals and a stepper-driven feeder. The result edges closer to the automatic fire many enthusiasts dream about, even if real-world limits keep it from true full-auto speed right now.
Car owners who park on the street or in communal parking spaces are all too familiar with this scenario. The normal ritual of dragging a hose across the pavement, looking high and low for a drain that won’t flood a neighbor’s place, or lugging out various buckets and tools from the trunk, all converts what should be a fast maintenance activity into a tedious weekend project. Linyo Technology designed the H1 to eliminate all of the hassle.
