The sleek 2-seater prototype, which made its debut yesterday at the nifty Smart Global Brand Event in Beijing, provides us with the clearest glimpse yet of where the company believes it will go in the future. Smart has always been about cars that glide effortlessly through congested streets, and the Concept #2 captures that same vibe, but this time switching to electric power and adding a few new touches that give it individuality.
Pre-orders opened today for the ASUS Zenbook DUO model UX8407, a laptop built around two full-size touchscreens that work side by side without forcing you to carry extra weight or bulk. Engineers trimmed the chassis by five percent from the earlier model and wrapped it in a material called Ceraluminum that feels solid yet stays light at 3.64 pounds total with the keyboard attached. The whole package slips easily into most bags at just over twelve inches wide and less than an inch thick at its slimmest.
Nintendo released an overview trailer earlier today, providing a glimpse at what Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is all about. The clip immediately sets the tone for some laid-back fun with Yoshi and his island companions, who are enjoying themselves on a calm little island until a talking book named Mr E appears out of nowhere and crashes into the scene. The impact manages to wipe all memory of the weird little creatures that lived within the pages of the book.
DJI has just released not one, but two new camera drones that will be particularly appealing to users who are new to quadcopter flying. The Lito 1 and Lito X1 are two new additions to the company’s beginning drone inventory, succeeding the Neo models that many new users have been flying in recent years. These are still light enough (249 grams) to fly without registration in most areas, and they have undergone some significant improvements in terms of video quality and crash protection.
Excessive Overkill designed a camera system that seemingly freezes quickly moving parts in mid-air during video capture, allowing you to observe a spinning fan blade hanging motionless in mid-air. Put simply, that’s stroboscopy applied to video, a technique for examining moving objects by flashing a light at the appropriate time. However, this technique has now been enhanced so that it can handle entire video sequences.
Mega Man 64, a 3D version of the PlayStation original, rocked up the Nintendo 64 scene in 2000. As players put on Mega Man’s boots and explore 3D realms of wrecked towns, underground dungeons, and mechanical monsters, the game managed to combine a flurry of shooting action with light puzzle solving and a story entwined with ancient technology and a mysterious lady named Roll. Nowadays, one solo developer known as RaieFox has taken this same game under their wing, naming it the MegaMan64Recomp project, and it now runs as a native application on modern PCs.
On the first full test run, success was the order of the day as that amphibious car rolled down the bank, splashed into the water, and simply continued trucking. The foam blocks kept it afloat, and the back motor gradually slipped into place, propelling it across the lake. Minutes passed, and before you knew it, the animal had reached the far shore and climbed back out by itself. The project’s inventor, RCLifeOn, has a reputation for transforming common parts into some interesting creations.
Makers are constantly coming up with innovative methods to transform everyday objects into automated displays, and Terence Grover has just added another to the list. His robot flips a rare €1000 Monaco commemorative coin repeatedly, with a live audience cheering and calling the shots the entire time. People watching his YouTube livestream give commands to choose when to flip the coin next, and the robot just does its job without troubling its inventor.
Roku Select Smart TV screen sizes range from 43 to 85 inches, which is large enough to fit almost any living room or apartment without requiring a compromise. When it’s on sale, like today, you can get the 55-inch model for roughly $250 (was $350), and it arrives ready to use without the need to plug in any additional devices. Everything is plugged in and set up right out of the box using the familiar Roku system, which quickly launches the apps and remains out of the way.
Elite athletes took to the court in Tokyo to face a beast of speed and precision, Ace, a robot designed by Sony AI to run rings around the world’s top table tennis players. In April 2025, the robot won three of five bouts against the elite bunch. In later sessions, the team really showed off; between December 2025 and March 2026, they defeated pros like Miyuu Kihara, who is ranked in the top twenty-five internationally.
