Two years after its release, the PlayStation Portal receives an update that makes it far more useful. Cloud Streaming is now available for PlayStation Plus Premium customers, allowing you to play games directly from Sony’s servers. No more being tethered to a PlayStation 5 at home. Select digital titles from your collection, as well as hundreds from the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog and Classics Catalog, appear instantly on the 8-inch screen.
Mina Fahmi takes the silver band that is holding his index finger hostage, pushes the flat glass display, and speaks a single line in the nearly silent room: “Buy oat milk, the blue carton.” A faint buzzing against his skin informs him that the message has been saved. Thirty seconds later, it’s on his phone, typed down and ready to go on tomorrow’s shopping list. There’s no need to unlock the screen or yell “wake up” across the coffee shop. Just Stream Ring – a whisper, a thought, and it’s saved.

Folded up, DJI’s new Osmo Mobile 8 fits neatly into a coat pocket like a thick paperback, neither too big nor too little. But when unfolded, that dark gray arm of its predecessor, the 7P, swings open with a satisfying snap – except now there’s a smart little swivel joint you can’t see that allows the camera to revolve in a full 360-degree circle. Simply point your phone at whatever and press the record button; the horizon will remain visible with no shaking.
Six astronauts float inside a metal tube traveling 17,500 miles per hour around the planet, and the loudest sound heard is the click of a folding grill cage closing. On October 31, the Shenzhou-21 capsule delivered more than just three new crew members; it also delivered a 30-pound hot air oven, which is currently fastened to the wall of the Tiangong space station’s core module. Four days later, the station smelled like Sunday barbecue.
Honda has launched the new ADV Edition of the Elevate SUV in India. At first glance, it looks like a beast, with orange stripes, blacked out trim and decals that scream adventure. But when you open the door, you’ll see a familiar face. Same old front-wheel drive, 119 horsepower engine and practical city friendly attitude that will never get you into trouble on a muddy track.
SignalRGB just proved that a real microwave can be transformed into a Battlefield 6 gaming beast capable of running at 120 frames per second – but only if you open the door of your white countertop microwave and discover a 16-inch monitor gazing back at you, framed by the original glass window. Close it up, hit the “Start” button, and watch as the turntable spins the entire motherboard around like a lazy Susan for silicon – you can transform a $40 thrift store microwave into a $2,000 gaming system with a single move.
Google’s Pixel 9 has flat sides that sort of hug your palm, like a well-worn paperback you’ve read a dozen times. The back is all glossy glass and it catches the light like a spark when you’re on the subway. But at 198 grams, this phone is light enough that you barely feel it when it disappears into the pocket of your jeans. Its matte aluminum rails and rounded corners are pretty familiar, yeah, they do kind of echo an iPhone – but then there’s that floating camera island that screams ‘this is a Pixel’.
The lights of the Las Vegas convention center floor were ablaze as Toyota pulled the covers off a machine nobody saw coming: Scion is back and this time it’s on a four seat off-road beast designed to take a beating in the sand, rocks and stillness of the wilderness. Make way for the Scion 01, a side-by-side that takes the Tacoma heart, wraps it in super tough steel and dares you to leave the pavement behind.
Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman sent a Tuesday newsletter, and the entire internet caught fire. Apple, the corporation that once offered an absurdly pricey $10,000 gold watch, is quietly working on a laptop that will cost far less than $1,000. Not a clearance sale Air or refurbished Pro, but the real deal: a brand-new MacBook with an iPhone brain inside.
