Lincoln has placed a compact portable structure on Manhattan’s High Line at the 14th Street section. Anyone walking the elevated park between June 12 and 14 can step inside for a five or ten minute session built around coordinated sound, scent, lighting, and touch.
Late one night the machine made a sound. Its builder checked the logs and found a trace of its inner state. The robot had been wondering when its person would return. It did not want to be alone. That moment sits at the center of a project called GrowBot. The creator, who runs the YouTube channel Art of the Problem, set out to build the simplest possible robot that could learn movement, perception, and even a kind of personality from the ground up. The result cost roughly $80 in parts, ran on a single Raspberry Pi Zero 2, and ended up revealing something unexpected about how fast physical action and slower thought can work together.
Microsoft shared a 30-minute gameplay video for Fable right after the latest Xbox showcase. The footage offers the most detailed look yet at how Playground Games plans to handle the return to Albion. Players step into the role of a hero who begins as a child discovering unusual powers in the village of Briar Hill. A time jump then moves the story forward to adult life, where decisions start to shape both the character and the surrounding world.
Frequent flyers and road warriors often rely on over-ear headphones to carve out personal space amid engine noise, terminal chatter, and crowded gates. Apple’s second-generation AirPods Max 2, priced at $499 (was $549), deliver a focused set of refinements that address several everyday frustrations from the first model, particularly for people who spend serious time in motion. The updates center on stronger noise blocking, modern connectivity, and software features that respond to real travel moments without demanding extra effort.
Right on the red carpet at the Toy Story 5 world premiere in Los Angeles, Porsche presented three fully functional one-of-a-kind 911s. Each emerged from the Sonderwunsch special wishes program as a rolling embodiment of a main character from the upcoming film. Porsche worked closely with Pixar designers Bob Pauley and Jay Ward to translate the characters into metal, paint, and leather. This project follows their earlier collaboration on a Sally-themed 911 from the Cars movies.
