Tiny computers rarely feel this complete. Measuring just 117 by 112 by 34.2 millimeters and weighing around 450 grams, the GEEKOM Air12, priced at $298.99 (was $399), slips behind a monitor on its included VESA mount or sits quietly on a shelf without drawing attention. Its full-metal inner frame gives it a solid, durable feel that holds up to everyday handling while keeping the whole package remarkably thin.
A steel figure nearly seven feet tall stands in promotional images that exploded across the internet in late July. Four legs support a humanoid torso. Arms end in quick-connect mounts instead of hands. A goat-like skull with horns and glowing eyes sits on top. In one view it grips a gas-powered chainsaw. In another it stares through a glass door as if waiting for orders. Millions of people saw the photos and reacted with memes, jokes about movie monsters, and genuine unease. The inventor behind it calls the machine Threehalves. He built it to keep people out of places that can kill them.
Rubin Observatory just released its first major science image from the LSST Camera, and the frame is dense with distant light. Astronomers stacked hundreds of separate exposures of the COSMOS field and ended up with more than half a million galaxies plus more than 50,000 stars in a single deep view.
