Bose QuietComfort Headphones

Bose QuietComfort Headphones are Escape Hatch for Noisy Skies at $199

Bose QuietComfort Headphones
Bose has spent years perfecting the art of quieting the world down and the QuietComfort Headphones, priced at $199 (was $349), are the latest result of that effort with an almost blissfully personal focus on comfort. These over-ear headphones arrive in a slim black box with a USB-C plug, a good old fashioned audio cable for when you need to go wired, and a compact travel case that’ll slip easily into your hand luggage. And the best bit is they weigh less than half a pound, fold up neatly when you need to stash them away and have earcups that swivel to fit snugly round your head – no more bulky gear here.

Joel’s Lap-Top Time Machine Combines the Switch 2 and CRT Screen Into One

Joel Creates Switch 2 CRT Screen Mod
Joel Creates spent his childhood staring at Nintendo 64 game displays, believing that the luminous box led to another world completely. Thirty years later, he was able to distill that universe into a handheld gadget that is a true trip back in time: a portable game system with a color CRT screen and a Nintendo Switch 2 that slides straight into the front, much like a tape does into a VCR. The end result is a beast that weighs more than a laptop, lasts approximately an hour on a single charge, and looks like it came directly from the 1996 assembly line (which most likely never existed).

Elon Musk has a talent for bringing far-fetched ideas down to earth. When word surfaced last month that two of the new generation of space companies were collaborating, he couldn’t help but share his thoughts, even if it was merely to make a simple point about SpaceX’s intentions to build data centers in orbit. There was no fanfare, no extensive explanation, just a deadpan remark to scaling up existing satellite technology. In a world where the demand for processing power is constantly increasing, that casual statement sent shockwaves across the IT community, drawing everyone’s attention to that untapped resource – literally the void where silicon meets sunlight.

Dycus started digging through a box of old electronics on a lazy afternoon and pulled out a dusty circuit board from an optical mouse that had long since been forgotten. That seemingly worthless bit, tucked away a few years ago on a hunch, ended up sparking 65 hours of late night modding and more soldered connections than he cares to count. By the end of it all, that old scrap had turned into something completely new: a tiny camera that snaps pretty terrible, yet somehow charming portraits and sweeps panoramic scenes that seem to capture the whole world in a single sweep.

TBK Intelligent Polishing Machine iPhone
Scratches on a smartphone screen reveal the story of drops, drags, and daily wear. For refurbishers, those marks have resulted in additional hours of disassembly, glass replacement, and reassembly, which has cost them time and money. This is where the TBK-938 Intelligent Polishing Machine comes in, a Shenzhen-made piece of machinery that completes the task in a single sealed, slurry-fed operation.

Modder Stopdesign needed a way to write code from his couch – or even the bathroom. Laptops just felt too bloated and phones too cramped. So he went ahead and built a clamshell computer the size of a PS5 controller. Flip open the lid and you’re greeted by a 5-inch screen – right below that sits a tiny keyboard that lets you fly across letters and symbols with both hands. Under the hood, a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W is sipping on a battery that’s capable of keeping it running for a whole day of typing – an 8000mAh battery to be exact.
