Handheld Windows 98 PC Mod
Back in the late 1990s, people who spent their evenings fiddling with their motherboards and looking for the latest driver updates frequently fantasized about the day when a full-fledged PC could fit in a backpack. Laptops did exist, of course, but they were similar to carrying a little anvil and running hot enough to give you a warm glow, almost like a space heater. The goal was to create something far more portable, light enough to fit into an everyday carry without hesitation. Fast forward to 2025, and that dream has finally come true thanks to modder Changliang Li, who converted a surplus Pentium processor into a handheld system that boots directly into – you guessed it – Windows 98.

Xpeng IRON Humanoid Robot Reveal
At the 2025 AI Day in Guangzhou, Xpeng unveiled the latest version of IRON at a convention center. Engineers spent the last year refining every joint and circuit to turn a promising prototype into something that moves like a human walking on a crowded street. This second generation robot walks, talks and handles objects in ways that feel so familiar. It’s 178cm tall and 70kg, the same as a normal adult, but the real magic is in the seamless combination of hardware and software that allows it to do everyday tasks without a script.

Motorola Edge 70 Aims to be Featherweight Fighter That Punches Above Its Price

Motorola Edge 70 Smartphone
Take the Motorola Edge 70 out of its recycled-cardboard box and your fingers will notice first: 159 grams of phone that feels like a credit card in a nylon sweater. At 5.99 mm thick, this handset slips into a shirt pocket without a ripple, yet an aircraft-grade aluminum spine runs its length, ready to shrug off drops that would crumple lesser frames. Bronze Green, Lily Pad, or Gadget Grey—each color carries Pantone’s seal of approval for true-to-life color, while a subtle weave on the back keeps fingerprints at bay and adds grip no glass slab can match.

Sandbar Stream Ring is the First AI-Enhanced Smart Ring That Listens When You Whisper

Sandbar Stream Ring Smartring
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.
