GTC 2026 brought some news that caught a lot of people off guard. Three major automakers have signed on to work with NVIDIA to bring autonomous driving to their vehicles in defined conditions, and sooner than most would have expected. BYD, Nissan, and Isuzu are all on board, each bringing their own strengths to the table as the technology edges closer to becoming an everyday reality on public roads.”.
This morning, word traveled quickly over the social media that a group of dedicated fans had obtained a complete copy of the Myrient Video Game Archive just in time. With 385TB and thousands of games spanning dozens of platforms, these fans faced a daunting task. Atari ST classics, PS3 and Xbox 360 games, Nintendo Wii U games, and much more are now safely stored on hard drives, due to a small group of people who refused to let it all fade to black.
Old laptops have a habit of ending up in a drawer the moment manufacturers stop supporting them, left to gather dust while modern software demands more than they can comfortably give. PearOS exists to change that. It’s a free operating system that breathes new life into neglected hardware, bringing a Mac-like experience complete with a familiar menu bar, a clean dock, and smooth gestures to machines that most people had written off. The latest release, built on Arch Linux and going by the name NiceC0re, is designed to make everyday tasks feel effortless on exactly the kind of hardware that usually gets left behind.
If you spend your days at a desk and your evenings on the couch, chances are you have two completely separate sets of gear to show for it. Pixelpaw Labs thinks that’s one too many, and the Phase is their answer to the problem, a single wireless device that handles both without asking you to compromise on either
When EA confirmed there were no plans for a Sims 5, most fans were disappointed and moved on. Tytar decided to do something about it instead. With no background in game development whatsoever, he opened up Unreal Engine 5, gave himself a brutally tight 14 day deadline, and got to work building a playable version from scratch. Remarkably, he pulled it off. The result is a familiar top down experience where you guide your Sims through their daily lives, complete with a few pointed jabs at EA for leaving fans out in the cold in the first place.
Edwin Olding’s approach to building his own theme park began with an unlikely discovery on Temu, a two seater spin ride with three independently rotating rings, an electric motor, and basic safety features, all for a surprisingly reasonable $2,500. Most people would have scrolled straight past it, but Edwin saw exactly what it could become, another worthy addition to the 1,000 square foot storage unit that already housed a loop roller coaster and a pair of go-karts.
Security cameras flood store shelves, but good 4K options are few and far between, especially if you’re on a tight budget. Wyze changed that with the Cam Pan v4, priced at $46 (was $60), the first of their cameras to record in Ultra HD (3840 x 2160 quality). This update makes a significant impact; the footage is significantly crisper than what you get with most inexpensive pans. Zooming in on details such as a face or a license plate creates a completely different image. That is especially true in retrospect.

Apple’s MacBook Neo has clearly struck a nerve, and it isn’t hard to see why people are already wondering what those same ideas might look like in a desktop form. Designer Sarang Sheth had exactly that thought, and the result is the Mac Neo concept, a compact desktop that takes everything that makes the laptop so compelling and reimagines it for the desk
Tomasz Patan took off from his own driveway in a Jetson ONE eVTOL, heading straight out to sea. Soon, he was flying low over the cliffs of Pismo Beach, following the coastline and headed directly over the pier, and the view most certainly stole his breath away as he made his way down the shoreline, passing a beach restaurant he’d flown over many times before.
