Nokia announced the 8110 on 9 September 1996 as the first handset in its high-end 8000 series, a business-oriented model that measured 141 by 48 by 25 millimetres and weighed around 152 grams. Sliding covers defined its form from the start, protecting the keypad in a pocket and extending downward so the microphone sat closer to the mouth while the same motion answered an incoming call.
Rolling garbage bins out to the curb on a hot afternoon often means accepting a sharp vinegar smell that drifts across the driveway by evening. Food scraps left in wheeled outdoor containers break down faster once temperatures climb, releasing acetic acid that carries the familiar sharp odor associated with rotting waste. Standard charcoal filters can trap some of those molecules for a while, yet they lose effectiveness once heat and humidity rise together, leaving the smell free to escape whenever the lid is lifted.
Xbox Series X owners can now boot certain PlayStation 5 titles on Microsoft’s console through an experimental port called PS5X. Developer Devran Cosmo Uenal built the project by adapting the open-source KytyPS5 emulator, which normally runs on Windows and Linux PCs, into a UWP application that operates exclusively inside Xbox Developer Mode. His September video showed the PS5 build of Quake II running with an Xbox controller, and three additional titles soon followed.
Drivers of electric trucks could soon keep rolling without pulling over for a plug if a new system from Honda works as planned. The company has spent the past several years on dynamic wireless power transfer, the idea of sending electricity from the pavement into a moving vehicle. In early October 2026 Honda R&D said it had finished the underlying technology with two construction firms, Taisei Corporation and Taisei Rotec. Together they built a magnetic coupling road system that places transmitter units under the surface so a matching receiver on the vehicle can pick up power while the wheels turn.
Amazon refreshed the eight-inch Fire HD 8 for the 12th-generation model, priced at $79.99 (was $130), while keeping the same compact body that has defined the line for years. Measuring 7.94 by 5.40 by 0.37 inches and weighing 11.88 ounces, the tablet stays easy to hold in one hand or slip into a bag for travel. Four gigabytes of RAM pair with 64 gigabytes of storage in this configuration, a clear step up from the 2-gigabyte memory found on earlier base models. A dedicated microSD slot accepts cards up to 1 terabyte, so libraries of books, music, or video can grow without forcing a higher internal capacity from the start.
