Unitree’s New Superman Robot Claims to Outjump and Outrun Every Human, Usain Bolt Included

By Jackson Chung August 21, 2026

Unitree Robotics just posted a thirty-second clip of a bipedal machine labeled Superman rises from a still stance, clears a two-meter mark with both feet, lands, and accelerates into a sprint that the company measures at 12.66 meters per second. That figure converts to roughly 28.3 miles per hour, a peak that edges past the 12.42 meters per second recorded for Usain Bolt during the fastest segment of his 2009 world-record 100-meter run. The same machine stands 170 centimeters tall, weighs 45 kilograms, and carries legs only 0.85 meters long.

Turning the LEGO Game Boy Into a Cartridge-Playing Handheld is Possible, Just Not Easy

By Bill Smith August 21, 2026

In October 2025, LEGO released its 421-piece Game Boy kit, which is an almost full-size plastic tribute to Nintendo’s 1989 handheld. It’s near enough to the actual thing that the familiar gray shell, pink A and B buttons, cross-shaped control pad, volume wheel, and cartridge slot feel perfect in your hand. Two brick-built carts for Super Mario Land and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening slide into the back, with lenticular screens displaying the Nintendo logo or brief animated images from both games. Buttons click, but nothing powers on or plays.

Huawei just showed the first non-folding phone built around a deliberately wide screen.

Reservations opened the same day, with in-store experiences and full details set for August 28.

How a Decade-Old Samsung Laser Printer Became a Minecraft Host Server

By Bill Smith August 21, 2026

Office printers usually sit there doing their quiet job of putting toner on paper. One Samsung C410W now spends part of its time generating infinite blocky terrain and letting players dig, build, and chat across a local network. The project belongs to a maker known as vimpo, the same person who previously convinced a Wi-Fi light bulb to host a Minecraft world.

Upside Down at 80 mph, Voyah Passion S EV Completes a Full 360-Degree Tunnel Loop

By Bill Smith August 20, 2026

In a closed test tunnel in Wuhan, a production Voyah Passion S electric crossover entered a curved section at roughly 130 kilometers per hour and stayed on the surface until it was driving across the ceiling. Drivers held about 16 degrees of steering lock the entire way, generating the continuous force that pressed the tires into the wall and then the roof before bringing the vehicle back down the opposite side in one unbroken run.
