Evan Monsma spent a few days in Indianapolis turning a broken iPhone 13 into something he calls CMOUNTIPHONE2, a phone that can take Canon EF lenses meant for a full-size DSLR. His earlier attempt had already put cinema glass on a wrecked iPhone. That mount was wood, a modified C-to-CS ring, and a bead of super glue. The glue let go. A heavier lens was always going to finish the job, so this round starts with metal.
Jaguar stopped building cars at the end of 2025 and spent the quiet months turning a polarizing concept into something a customer can order. On Tuesday in New York the covers came off the Type 01, a four-door grand tourer and the first production car on a platform Jaguar built only for itself. The name is a small piece of branding arithmetic. Type points back at older Jaguars, the zero stands for zero tailpipe emissions, and the one marks the first car of the new run.
Silk bends, slips, and changes shape the moment a fingertip presses a little too hard. In Suzhou, master embroiderer Fu Xianghong spent a session teaching AGILINK’s OmniHand 3 Ultra the opening moves of a craft that runs back more than 2,500 years: separating a main silk thread into 16 finer strands, threading a needle, stretching fabric across a hoop, and putting in the first stitches. One finger teases the strands apart while the others hold tension so the thread does not collapse. For a twist, opposing fingertips stay in contact and let the silk turn without losing their grip.
Jake Laser has been trying to stick a person to a building for years. On his JLaservideo channel the earlier versions used compact vacuum pumps, and with those he once raced a Spider-Man stunt double up a glass skyscraper. For the suit in his latest video, he dropped the pumps and copied the foot of a gecko instead.
SEGA shipped its first handheld in Japan on October 6, 1990, priced at ¥19,800 ($320 today) and built under the internal name Project Mercury. Hayao Nakayama had pushed the company to answer the Game Boy, which Nintendo had put on shelves the year before. Engineers reused the Master System’s Zilog Z80 running at about 3.5 MHz and the same Texas Instruments sound chip, then widened the color palette from 64 shades to 4,096. A 3.2-inch backlit screen, 160 by 144 pixels and able to show 32 colors at once, sat between grips shaped like a shrunken Genesis pad. Six AA batteries fed a cold-cathode fluorescent lamp behind the glass. Playtime landed between three and five hours. A Game Boy on four AAs could run past thirty.
