Nate Scovill decided the Red Bull slogan needed a proper test. He bought cans of the stuff, cleared space in his workshop, and set out to see whether an energy drink could actually launch something into the air. His recent video walks through three attempts, each more serious than the last, until one of them finally left the ground under its own power.
Michael MJD picked up a decommissioned MoneyGram self-service kiosk PC that once sat in places like pharmacies, ready for customers to start money transfers or bill payments before heading to the counter. The unit arrived as a solid metal enclosure weighing around 60 pounds, built more like industrial equipment than a regular computer. An Elo DuraTouch resistive screen sat in front of a Dell monitor, with a card reader, speakers, wireless antenna, and a Belkin power strip riding along for the various ports. Power, USB, audio, ethernet, and display connections filled the back. It powered on by itself once electricity reached it, with no obvious external button needed.
Ferrari rolled a completely unique coupe onto the Monterey Car Week stage this week and called it CZ26. Built through the Special Projects programme for a single American client, the car started life as an SF90 Stradale and left Maranello two years later looking like something else entirely. Flavio Manzoni’s design team treated the SF90’s hard points as a fixed foundation and then drew a new body around them, one that leans hard into the clean geometry of 1970s Italian industrial objects while still delivering the performance numbers the donor car made famous.
Flipping the two-inch screen open is all it takes to start recording with the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, priced at $399 (was $499). That simple motion turns the camera on and gets you rolling in about two seconds, whether you hold it upright for vertical clips or keep it horizontal for wider scenes. The screen itself rotates freely and stays bright enough to read outdoors at 700 nits, so framing a quick walk-and-talk or a family moment never feels like a chore.
After long evenings spent designing mechanisms and calibrating movement, a New Zealand engineer named Bruce finished a system that mounts directly onto an ordinary acoustic guitar and turns digital tablature into live string vibration. He calls it MegCell Pulse. Two coordinated robots handle the work of human hands. One presses the strings against the frets. The other plucks them with six individual plectrums. The sound that reaches the room is the actual instrument speaking, complete with the body resonance and the space around it.
