Marques Brownlee (MKBHD) waited months to share what it feels like to drive Luce, Ferrari’s first fully electric car. The footage sat under embargo after he spent a day on a private Italian track with the company’s engineers and designers, piloting a heavily camouflaged prototype of the Luce. That wait ends now, and the video on his Auto Focus channel delivers the first real sense of how this five-seat, four-motor machine actually moves.
DoorDash spent years watching other companies fly its food. On July 29 the company announced it will now fly the orders itself. DoorDash Air is the new in-house program that received Federal Aviation Administration Part 135 air carrier certification, the same approval that lets a company legally operate commercial drone deliveries across the United States. DoorDash becomes only the eighth operator to clear that bar. The certification followed a five-stage review that checked aircraft airworthiness, maintenance systems, and safety procedures.
Johnzoid, the YouTube collector who spends his time hunting down the strangest electronics you can find, recently scored something that used to require a prison sentence. He ordered a JPay JP Mini 5 tablet on eBay, the same small device handed out free to inmates in multiple state systems.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, a 1998 Nintendo 64 adventure, is now available as a native app for iPhones and iPads. Full screen resolution, sixty frames per second, widescreen perspective, usable touch overlays, Bluetooth controllers that simply work, plus keyboard and mouse capabilities for good measure. There is no blurry 240p image, no stuttering twenty-frame limit from the original hardware, and no remote streaming via PC. The game has been recreated and is now running on the device itself.
