The just released Godzilla Minus Zero teaser contains a nice surprise near the end. There’s Godzilla, looking massive and standing tall next to the Statue of Liberty, his frame nicely set against the New York skyline as he prepares to delve deeper into the city. The story begins in 1949, two years after the events in the previous film.
Elliot Coll found a very beat-up Playstation on eBay, one that appeared to be on its final legs, filthy and damaged, with a slew of previous owners’ patch jobs tossed in. Despite this, the SCPH-5502, which is widely regarded as one of the best upgrade pathways, appeared to be a good location to begin constructing what he refers to as “the ultimate” version of this console.
Boston Dynamics’ Spot, a four-legged machine that has been making its way through factories, warehouses, and power plants on its own for years, can now connect to the Orbit platform and the AIVI-Learning tool. This Google Gemini-powered program uses the photos to provide reports on safety, equipment health, and cleanliness. The system has done well with easy tasks, but when scenarios become cluttered, things become a little hazy.
Porsche engineers have combined the ultra-focused machinery of the 911 GT3 with the lightweight convertible body of a roadster to produce this two-seater. The end result is the 911 GT3 S/C that weighs a slim 3,322 pounds while managing to fit in the components for a full automated fabric top that folds up in a mere twelve seconds. When you get into the driver’s seat, you immediately feel connected to the road, due to the six-speed manual transmission and a chassis that has been fine-tuned for quick reactions on winding roads.
GoPro unveiled its MISSION 1 series today, a trio of compact cinema cameras designed to tackle both extreme action and demanding film work in a single robust chassis. The lineup includes the regular MISSION 1, MISSION 1 PRO, and MISSION 1 PRO ILS, all of which share the same cutting-edge 50-megapixel one-inch sensor, as well as a new GP3 CPU that pushes resolution, performance, and battery life further than anything GoPro has done before.
People prefer to bring this portable speaker with them on weekend treks or to backyard gatherings, and before long, they’re using it almost daily. For $90 (was $140), it punches far below what many people expect to pay for portable audio. Anker engineered the Boom 2 to endure whatever life throws at it and still create a sound that’s a lot greater than you’d expect from a speaker of this size.
A band of wild boars broke onto the sidewalk and grass on the outskirts of Warsaw, as seen on video late one night. Barely a moment later, a Unitree G1 humanoid robot appears from the side, its legs pumping furiously as it fights to stay upright.
Mark Zuckerberg is pushing for his staff to communicate with him directly via a highly realistic digital copy of himself. Meta is developing an AI avatar that looks and sounds exactly like him, using a treasure trove of his images, voice recordings, personal habits, and even public remarks. One day, employees across the company’s massive workforce of over 79,000 people will be able to fire off queries, receive responses, and hear words of advice from the founder that sound exactly like the real thing.
Pro cycling is getting faster each season, crashes are becoming more common, and although riders accept the risks as part of the sport, one company is aiming to reduce the damage without slowing anyone down. Van Rysel has created a skinsuit with its own built-in airbag system, which is literally sewed directly into the cloth. This suit was developed in collaboration with In&motion, the same team that created airbags for skiers and bikers, and it looks and feels exactly like any other race-ready gear. Cyclists put it on, zip it up, and forget about the extra gear until it’s actually needed.
Anbernic’s new throwback handheld, the RG Rotate, is bringing swivel screens, which were once the hallmark of flip phones, right up to date. When closed, this device resembles a compact music player or a stylish small device that can hang off a backpack. The square display rotates 90 degrees on a specially made, incredibly thin metal hinge when you gently nudge it. You won’t have to worry about the hinge failing on you anytime soon because it is designed to endure years of regular use.
