GameCube hardware already delivers strong value for fans of its original game library. Loaders such as Swiss open the door to region-free play, disc backups from SD cards or USB drives, and emulators that reach back to earlier Nintendo systems and beyond. Homebrew keeps the console active long after its commercial peak. A separate project now layers something unexpected onto that foundation by bringing a full PowerPC build of Windows NT to the same machine.
A software update recently delivered to BYD Denza Z9GT owners in China added a striking new ability. Drivers draw any shape they want on the central touchscreen, then sit back while the car executes a controlled drift that traces that exact path. Videos from the demonstrations show the vehicle holding steady powerslides through circles and more complex patterns, laying down thick ribbons of rubber while tire smoke rises around it.
A wiry black cat and a hulking grey one lean in on a smaller suspect. The topic is missing tuna. The setting feels like a back room somewhere in Venice. Mark Ruffalo gives the smaller cat, Nero, a scrappy edge. Laurence Fishburne supplies the larger one, Rocco, with a voice that fills the space. Then a lightbulb on a cord begins to swing overhead. Both interrogators forget the tuna. Their eyes lock onto the movement. The scene dissolves into swats, leaps, and a final crunch as Rocco bites the bulb clean off its cord.
Apple’s AirPods Pro 3, priced at $179 (was $249), has taken an already great design and given it a bit of an upgrade, addressing some of the issues with noise cancellation, battery life, fit, and even throwing in some health tracking and a tougher build quality to boot, and as a result, the buds will remain a top choice for a lot of people with busy lives in 2026.
Many mid range phones stick to familiar shapes and modest power reserves, yet Tecno stepped forward with the Pova 8 5G carrying both a giant battery and an unexpected visual flourish on the rear. That flourish takes the form of a small dot matrix panel tucked into the camera module. What looks like a third lens from a distance actually serves as a compact LED grid capable of displaying simple animations and patterns. Tecno named it the Alive Matrix Display, and it activates for incoming calls, new notifications, charging progress, or even active gaming moments. Around 49 different animations come preloaded, with options to personalize the behavior and appearance.
