Maingear has released a new series of gaming desktops known as the Retro98, which flawlessly matches the appearance and feel of those old 1990s PCs while packing a lot more power. Built to a 2026 specification with top-of-the-line hardware, each machine comes in a plain beige SilverStone FLP02 tower casing, complete with the boxy shape, rough plastic texture, and front-panel detailing that once dominated bedroom walls and basements.
DeepMind has been working on a new experimental tool called Project Genie, which is a fairly cool prototype that you can test in a web app via Google Labs. To gain access, you must first obtain a Google AI Ultra subscription, which is currently only available to anyone aged 18 and over in the United States. The system employs a general-purpose world model known as Genie 3, as well as some fancy tools such as Nano Banana Pro (for creating some very nice graphics) and Gemini (which is intended to function as the operation’s brain).
Garage Tinkering has transformed the Nissan 350Z car menu into something a lot more thrilling than your typical monotonous OEM interface. You know, those typical infotainment screens that always show the same old maps, radio stations, and climate controls? It’s like driving through Groundhog Day. This build flips the script on its head, putting a Need for Speed menu right in the driver’s seat, or rather, in a hidden location that only the most dedicated fans would be aware of.
The DJI Mic Mini (2 TX + 1 RX + Charging Case), priced at $79 (was $169), is a tiny wireless microphone device that is ideal for content creators who want to eliminate muffled or distant sounds from their phone or camera microphones. To be honest, there are occasions when you just need to capture clean voices in your videos, interviews, or streams, and this small setup does the job without breaking the bank or taking up too much room.

Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers are not cheap, and they often cost enough to make you think twice before purchasing a replacement or upgrade. So what if you could have it both ways? Builder Brux thought so too and decided to build one out of LEGO bricks, complete with all the bells and whistles, including working buttons, joysticks, and full console compatibility.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope continues to capture views that transport you far into the cosmos, and this latest look at Pismis 24 is particularly compelling. When you combine that with Chandra’s keen eye for high-energy bursts, you have an unmistakable depiction of chaos and creation. Pismis 24 is a young cluster of massive stars that are still in their prime, clustered together in a tight young group around 5,500 light years away in the constellation Scorpius, hidden within the expansive Lobster Nebula section of NGC 6357, one of the Milky Way’s most prolific star formation locations.
John Likens, a die-hard TMNT fan, has spent years developing short test animations for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, with each one moving him closer to his vision of the team as grungier and more realistic. He’s gone all out with his new test, a 2-minute action-packed frolic about the character Raphael that is the longest and most intricate test he’s ever created, easily outshining the ones he prepared for Donatello and Leonardo.
Tesla has announced that production of the Model S and Model X will conclude by the end of the second quarter of 2026. CEO Elon Musk revealed the news during the company’s Q4 2025 earnings call, stating that it is a fitting finale to programs that once characterized the brand. These two vehicles, which were once staples of the Tesla lineup, now account for only about 3% of the company’s overall sales. Clearing away space at the Fremont factory will be beneficial because the company’s next top priority is to ramp up manufacturing of Optimus humanoid robots in large numbers.
The Creative Channel showed us the jet bicycle they built, which is just a regular bike with a very unique makeover. Instead of a plain old electric motor, four high-speed ducted fans, sometimes known as EDF units among model enthusiasts, conduct the pushing. They are going at a blazing 75,000 RPM, which is quite fast to say the least.
