LEGO has just unveiled the Mario Kart – Luigi & Mach 8 set (72050), a large 2,234-piece build clearly aimed at adult fans, and the pricing of $179.99 doesn’t seem too bad at all. This thing will hit shelves on April 1st, 2026, though pre-orders opened on March 10, perfect timing for Mario Day. With this new set, the Mach 8 (Luigi’s hallmark ride in Mario Kart 8) receives its first large-scale LEGO makeover.
Apple released the PowerBook Duo 230 in October 1992 at a hefty $2,610 ($6,050 today), and what a powerhouse it was. This small laptop, weighing only 4.2 pounds and measuring 1.4 inches by 10.9 by 8.5 inches, fits neatly into a briefcase or bag, eliminating the bulk that made other portables of the time difficult to transport. The reason for its slim appearance is that the internal floppy drive had just been removed totally, and engineers went to town on reducing weight wherever possible, a move that reflected what they had done previously with the PowerBook 100, but on a whole new level.
DARPA and Bell Textron collaborate on an experimental aircraft that takes off and lands vertically, like a helicopter, but can cruise at jet speeds once airborne. This is known as the X-76 under DARPA’s SPRINT program, which stands for Speed and Runway Independent Technologies. It’s part of a long-standing military challenge: fixed-wing aircraft provide maximum speed, but only if you have a runway to land on; helicopters, on the other hand, can take off and land almost anywhere, but they can’t fly as fast. The X-76 seeks to address this.
Gordon Murray’s goal was to create a race car for the track that prioritizes driver connection above all else. This culminated in the GMA T.50s Niki Lauda, a beast of a car that recently demonstrated its capabilities at the Bahrain International Circuit by lapping it faster than any other GT3 race car has ever done.

Google’s Pixel Watch 3 (41mm) is the best non-flagship smartwatch you can buy right now, especially for $169.99. That’s a significant drop from the original $249.99 MSRP, and surprisingly, it packs more punch than you’d expect for the price.
Thirty-five years after Street Fighter II revolutionized arcade brawlers, a lone hacker named zxpresh has managed to ram the whole roster of characters into the ZX Spectrum 128K. Sweet Fightin’ +2 is a one-on-one battle game featuring all twelve famous characters, from Ryu hurling fireballs to M. Bison unleashing crazy crushers. It’s also free.
The Ulefone x RugOne Xsnap 7 Pro offers what you’d expect from a rugged smartphone and adds a game-changing feature: a detachable action camera that pops straight off the back and works independently. Most smartphones just lock everything in place, including screens, batteries, and cameras, but not this one.
Lenovo’s GT3 Max is a low-cost drone that aims to compete with models like the DJI Neo series, but without the high cost. It can be purchased on AliExpress for between €60 and €70, depending on shipping / taxes. Even while it’s unknown who is actually making this small quadcopter, which is likely just another example of the all-too-common third-party production in the world of low-cost electronics, it bears the full Lenovo name.
On February 4, 2026, a bright glow appeared in the sky over Florida that morning, and people were literally “stopped in their tracks” as they gazed upwards in an attempt to catch a glimpse of the gigantic and almost unearthly apparition hovering in the sky. These long tendrils were connected to a massive dome-shaped head, and they were all surrounded by a delicate cloud of pastel pink, blue, and gold colors.
