A Waveshare board built for reading pages now keeps up with running and jumping. InkBoy fits a full Game Boy emulator onto the ESP32-S3-ePaper-1.54 V2, a compact module with a 1.54-inch panel that measures 200 by 200 pixels. Stock software on that panel barely managed two updates each second. Custom driving code raises the rate to roughly thirty, enough for Super Mario Land and other original titles to feel responsive instead of frozen between frames.
Microsoft has rolled out the Xbox Nano Controller today as its smallest option yet, measuring a little over five inches in length and weighing just 3.5 ounces. That makes it shorter and lighter than most modern smartphones, and a clear step down in bulk from the standard Xbox Wireless Controller, which runs closer to six inches wide and roughly ten ounces once batteries go in. Pre-orders opened immediately at $49.99, with stock set to reach stores in November across the United States and more than thirty other countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, and several across Europe and Latin America.
Most people scanning store shelves for solid over-ear noise-canceling headphones still land on Bose QuietComfort models or Apple’s AirPods Max. Sony has quietly offered a strong alternative since the ULT Wear, priced at $148 (was $248), arrived a little while ago, packing many of the same processor tricks found in the brand’s more expensive WH-1000XM5 while adding a dedicated button that ramps up low-end punch on demand.
Drivers pull into a bay expecting the same spray pattern every time, yet modern vehicles keep changing shapes, sensors, and contours that older equipment never anticipated. Autowash founders Dennis and Erin Dreeszen recognized this mismatch years ago after building their Denver-based chain of touchless self-serve washes from a single site in 2013 to more than two dozen locations. Conventional machines relied on decades-old designs that struggled with electric vehicles and accessories, so the couple decided to rebuild the process around industrial arms rather than fixed nozzles.
Nintendo released a five-minute overview trailer today for the Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, giving a straightforward tour of the remake ahead of its November 5 launch. The video walks through Link’s early journey as the boy without a fairy, then moves into the broader kingdom of Hyrule with its people, monsters, and dungeons before settling on the tools and additions that reshape how the adventure plays.
