British World Rally Championship (WRC) driver Louise Cook recently climbed into Forza Horizon 6 with an enthusiast-grade Direct Drive (DD) wheel setup, triple screen monitor rig, and a digital 1986 Audi Quattro rally car. She is most likely using dialed in custom force feedback values, before threading the car through narrow mountain roads, tunnels, and tight corners with pro racer precision.
Professional car thieves have leaned on a quiet radio trick for years to slip past keyless entry systems. Mark Rober, the former NASA engineer known for his glitter bomb videos and hands-on builds, wanted to see exactly how that trick works and whether regular people could defend against it. His latest experiment delivers a clear answer on both fronts.
Mosquitoes turn pleasant summer nights into itchy ordeals for anyone spending time outdoors. One inventor refused to accept the usual sprays, candles, and frantic swatting as the only options. Instead he created a full-body electric grid that delivers a direct shock to any insect that gets too close. Russian maker Dani Cruster, who runs the DiWHY YouTube channel, drew inspiration from ordinary bug zappers. Those devices use two layers of mesh or grid with high voltage running between them. When a mosquito flies into the space, it completes the circuit and ends its life with a sharp crack. Cruster simply asked what would happen if someone wore that same grid.
Travel often turns charging into a small production. You reach for the phone cable, then hunt down the watch puck, then dig out the earbud case adapter. Before long the bag holds more power gear than clothes. Anker built the MagGo 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station, priced at $67.49 (was $90), to cut that routine down to one compact piece that actually fits in the corner of a carry-on.
Movie studios keep hunting for ways to make a trip to the theater feel essential again. Sony Pictures landed on one clear path with its next Spider-Man film. The studio worked directly with CJ 4DPLEX to present Spider-Man: Brand New Day in SCREENX, a format built to spread the action beyond the front screen and across the side walls of specially equipped auditoriums.
