Stern Pinball officially released their latest masterpiece last week, and Pokémon fans can’t get enough of it. There are three variants available: the Pro for $6,999, the Premium for $9,699, and a super-rare Limited Edition with a run of 750 units for $12,999. This full-sized machine packs the excitement of catching critters into every flipper flick.
Unitree Robotics returned to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, this time with a performance that broke new ground for humanoid machines in territory traditionally reserved for human athletes. For the third year in a row, the Hangzhou-based company was an official partner, this time bringing a slew of its top-of-the-line G1 humanoid robots to center stage in a display that somehow managed to marry ancient Chinese martial arts with the precision engineering found in a modern sports car.

Denis Aminev, a Russian photographer, has spent years attempting to recreate the look of those magical film days that digital photography couldn’t quite replicate. It all started with movies shot on film, and how the stretched aspect ratio immediately draws your attention to them. Standard lenses and anamorphic adapters fell short, so he turned to something more direct: building his own camera from scratch.
GTA 5 typically requires around 120GB of space, however some modders have managed to reduce that figure to a mere 2.5GB. To be fair, you can still do almost everything you used to do, such as drive automobiles around Los Santos, fire firearms, jump off of planes, and so on. It’s just that the controls are a little goofy now, especially while driving, because they tend to lag.
The DJI Neo, priced at $149 (was $199), stands out as an entry-level flying drone that’s surprisingly simple to use, especially if you’re just getting started or looking for something to keep in your carry-on. People call it the ideal starter or travel companion for a reason: it’s small (just 135 grams), simple to use, and inexpensive.
Lots of people cruise past brand new GMC Hummer EVs every single day without even giving it a second glance. This massive electric pickup fits in with traffic; its boxy design and silent functioning barely raise an eyebrow on the street. That is, until you place it up against a slew of exotic, high-end supercars, at which point everyone turns around and whips out their smartphones.
Gamer Dorison Hugo has been working on a crazy concept for seven years: squeezing four GameCube controller ports onto a normal Nintendo Switch dock, and he’s finally done it. Players can now just plug in their hefty purple GameCube controllers without having to clutter up their TV stand with additional boxes. The end result appears polished enough to pass as a factory-made accessory.
A spool of filament rests calmly on a shelf, looking exactly like the usual orange Prusament roll found in numerous 3D printers, yet it hides a little secret. Prusa wanted a one-of-a-kind gift and asked Matt Denton to transform a regular 2kg spool of filament into an out-of-the-ordinary remote-controlled robot dubbed SpoolBot, which you’d be hard-pressed to tell is actually a robot going for a little roll on its own power.
Mobile phones had long been an integral part of our daily lives when April 2000 arrived. People took them everywhere because they were a must-have for younger users. Reporter Lindsey Fallow looked closely at how these phones were on the verge of becoming something major, such as having continual access to email and the internet right in the palm of your hand.
Mori3, a modular robot developed by the bright minds at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland, is made up of four triangular modules stacked in an origami-inspired pattern that is actually pretty ingenious. Each module communicates with its neighbors, establishing a little team that can change shape, move about, and be useful in a variety of ways.
