ProfessorBoots has tons of experience 3D-printing remote excavators that can climb boxes, scoop dirt, and crush cans. His latest version parks a three-axis camera in the cab and wires a chair that copies the layout of a full size machine, so a look to the left turns the camera left and a pair of pedals drive the tracks. The result is a backyard digger you operate as if you were sitting in a Caterpillar, only without diesel and without twenty acres.
Minimunch opened Claude Opus 5.5 with a blunt claim and a harder job: make playable games from scratch, starting with Fortnite Battle Royale. About three and a half hours later, a browser build was running on very high settings, complete with a battle bus drop, loot boxes, building, a storm that actually kills people, and two wins in two matches. Character drawings and map pieces still look unfinished if you stare at them. Color and light do the rescue work. Gradation across the island is dense enough that the whole scene reads richer than the models deserve, which is exactly the gap you flagged.
American Toyota dealers sold 131,403 Corollas in the first six months of 2026, a 9.5 percent rise for a car that has been on the market nearly a decade. Industry analysts report that a replacement could reach showrooms sometime in 2027 as a 2028 model, which would put a new compact on lots while the current one is still moving in volume.
Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Washington this week for talks with President Donald Trump in the same custom state limousine that has followed him on foreign trips since 2022. Hongqi N701 is an internal project code more than a dealer name, and FAW Group’s Hongqi division built it for China’s top leadership rather than any public buyer. Hongqi means red flag, a name the brand has carried since 1958, when First Automobile Works first assembled luxury cars for senior officials.
VITURE Pro 2 ships as a $298.99 (was $380) pair of XR/AR display glasses that treat a private cinema as the whole job. Sony micro-OLED panels sit behind birdbath optics and throw a 1920 by 1080 image to each eye at up to 120Hz, with a 50-degree field of view that the company sells as a 146-inch screen viewed from about four meters. Peak perceived brightness climbs to 1,600 nits from the 1,000 nits on the first Pro, with nine brightness steps and contrast rated at 100,000:1 or higher. Color covers 108 percent of sRGB, and VITURE tunes that color at the panel itself rather than through an extra management chip.
