Zack Nelson of JerryRigEverything has put the new Google Pixel 10 Pro XL through his signature durability tests. This $1,200 phone is supposed to get 7 years of software updates, so can its hardware live up to the promise?
A robot walks into a UFC arena, its shiny body glistening under the lights. This isn’t a pay-per-view fight; it’s Unitree Robotics’ G1, a 4.6-foot, 77-pound robot making its debut in a promotional exhibition sanctioned by UFC president Dana White.

Lenovo has a history of making laptops that look like they just stepped out of the set of Prime Video’s upcoming Blade Runner 2099 series. From see-through panels to scrollable displays, the company’s experimental streak is clear. Lenovo is going to show off its new creation at IFA 2025: the VertiFlex (courtesy of Evan Blass), also known as Project Pivo internally, a concept laptop with a screen that rotates 90 degrees from landscape to portrait.
Sony’s BRAVIA Theater U, a wireless wearable speaker, is $198 (down from $299.99) and feels like a quiet revolution in how we experience sound at home. It sits lightly on your shoulders and delivers surround sound that rivals a full home theater without cutting you off from the world around you.

They released AI-generated videos showing a catastrophic eruption and plunging Tokyo’s 37 million people into an ash-choked hell.
In the heart of Colorado’s Chaffee County, where wildfires threaten nearly half the state’s population, two homes have risen as an experiment in homebuilding. The VeroVistas, two 1,100 sqft homes in Buena Vista, were built with a giant 3D printer that lays down concrete walls layer by layer. One of these homes went from blueprints to finished home in 16 days.
The iMac G3 was a cultural icon in 1998, thanks to its Bondi Blue exterior, curved design and rejection of the floppy drive. Fast forward to 2025, and Terauma’s LEGO Ideas proposal has the same attitude in a 700 piece set that’s charming as unlikely it is to make the cut.
