Fujifilm revealed the Instax Mini Evo 2 as a hybrid instant camera that pairs digital capture with printing on classic mini film, letting users review shots and print only the ones they want while keeping digital copies of everything. Available at the end of November for $289.95 in black only, it upgrades the original model with a larger sensor, a much bigger rear display, and two new shooting tools that expand how people frame and record moments. The body keeps the retro silver-and-black look with textured panels, analog-style dials, and a film-advance lever for printing, so the hands-on feel stays familiar even as the back changes completely.

Apple introduced the 14-inch MacBook Pro with the M6 chip on October 27, placing a 2-nanometer processor inside the same portable aluminum body that has defined the line for years. The M6 uses a 12-core CPU that includes what Apple calls the world’s fastest CPU core, paired with a 12-core GPU that embeds a Neural Accelerator in every graphics core. A dual 16-core Neural Engine handles the AI work, while unified memory starts at 16GB and can be ordered up to 32GB, with bandwidth reaching 170GB per second on the higher configurations.

Charging a smartphone with marbles sounds impossible until you watch Engineezy spend weeks turning steel balls into a working power source. He called the finished machine a Sphero electric battery, a playful nod to the way pumped hydro plants store energy by lifting water high and letting it fall through turbines later.

Richard Browning took off from the grassy stretch outside the Eden Project’s famed biomes on a beautiful late March morning, the engines roaring to life as they have every time he has flown one of these. This time, he was demonstrating the Jet Suit at Anthropy UK, a gathering of movers and shakers in Cornwall. As the creator of Gravity Industries and the suit’s chief pilot, he intended to give everyone a taste of what personal flight is like when the engines roar, movement is instinctive, and the crowd feels the blast of exhaust in their face.

Michael Pick wanted a small electric pickup without paying forty thousand dollars or waiting for something like the Slate to reach the market. High gas prices made his old V6 Ranger feel expensive to run, so he bought a high-mileage 2017 BMW i3 REx sight unseen from an online auction for fifty-eight hundred dollars and set out to convert it himself.
