Steam Portable, Tito Fits a Steam Library Into a Sony PSP

By Bill Smith September 5, 2026

Handhelds keep getting larger, with Valve’s Steam Deck leading the charge, but one modder decided to go in the opposite direction. A PSP still slides into a jacket pocket. Tito from Macho Nacho Productions took that contrast and rebuilt an original Sony PSP-1000 as a device he calls Steam Portable, a pocket shell that can stream his Steam library and run retro emulation. Sony never sold anything like it. He used OtherMod’s latest PSPi 6 kit, a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, an 800×480 replacement screen, and a UV printer to stamp Steam branding onto the plastic.

Jensen Interceptor GTX Puts 960 Supercharged Horses on Track Before Any Road Car Exists

By Bill Smith September 5, 2026

Jensen International Automotive spent years restoring classic Interceptors in Oxfordshire. This week the company showed a completely new car instead. Called the Interceptor GTX, the two-seat coupe is a track-only prototype built to prove an all-new aluminum platform, a Texas-built V8, and the shape of future road cars. Around 80 percent of its exterior is meant to survive when those street versions arrive.

By Bill Smith September 5, 2026

Jackery first parked a wheeled solar generator on a CES floor in 2024 and called it Solar Mars Bot. Two years of work later, the same rover is back in public, this time at IFA Berlin 2026, still billed as a future product that can hunt sunlight, charge itself, then roll over to you with a few kilowatt-hours in tow.

In a hot attic on the Graz University of Technology campus, air next to one water-soaked ceramic block measured nearly seven degrees Celsius cooler than the space around it. Kristijan Ristoski, who built the water supply into a full cooling wall for his master’s thesis, said the drop was easy to feel across the room. That block is a cube about 23 centimeters on each side, printed from clay, fired at low heat so it stays open and thirsty, then loaded with water.

Fifty Cents Nearly Buried the Slow Mo Guys’ 168TB LaCie RAID Storage System

By Jackson Chung September 4, 2026

Gavin Free of the Slow Mo Guys bought the LaCie 12big Thunderbolt 3 in 2019 because twelve 14TB 7200-rpm enterprise drives packed 168 terabytes into one desktop tower and Thunderbolt 3 could shove footage across at up to 2600 megabytes per second. That kind of space and speed made sense for years of high-frame-rate video. Seven years later the tower simply would not stay on. Fans sat still. After about ten seconds the whole unit powered itself down. Warranty had expired, the model had been discontinued, and Seagate’s answer was to buy a new one.
