Solo video work often means juggling a phone, a gimbal, and constant checks on the screen. DJI built the Osmo Mobile 8P to fix exactly that problem by adding a small detachable monitor called the FrameTap. Snap it off the handle and the screen mirrors the phone’s live view while staying connected over Bluetooth. Creators can step back ten meters, tap to select a subject, or nudge a joystick to adjust framing and zoom without ever touching the phone itself.

Last month at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway a team of BYU engineers sent their hand-built machine around a ten-mile course and recorded a result that still seems impossible on paper. Their vehicle covered the distance using barely a thimbleful of ethanol and returned 2,145 miles per gallon, enough to carry the same amount of fuel from Provo, Utah, all the way to New York City.
Long journeys highlight how quickly your phone can drain, with all those maps, images, and texts eating away at the battery like there’s no tomorrow. The INIU power bank, priced at $19.79 after coupon is automatically applied at checkout (was $33), comes to the rescue, packing 20,000mAh into a body measuring 2.8 x 4.1 x 1.2 inches and weighing only 11.1 ounces. Tuck it into a jacket pocket or side compartment, and it will sit quietly until you need it.
People type questions into Google dozens of times a day, often in short bursts that barely scratch the surface of what they want to know. Starting today, that simple white box on the homepage looks and behaves differently, and the change feels long overdue after twenty-five years of almost no movement.
Huy Vector turned a childhood obsession with the Fallout games into a working smartwatch that looks and feels like it came straight from the vaults. The finished piece sits comfortably on the wrist with a simple leather strap, yet every detail echoes the classic Pip-Boy design from the series. Green text scrolls across a small screen against a black background, vital signs appear in the familiar retro font, and the whole thing runs on everyday parts anyone can order online.
Nintendo just dropped a new mobile game called Pictonico, and it turns everyday photos into a nonstop stream of short, goofy challenges built around the faces staring back at you. Available on iOS and Android starting May 28, the title comes from the same studio behind the WarioWare series, and that shows in every quick burst of action. You open the app, grab shots from your phone library or fire up the camera for fresh ones, and the game spins them into dozens of tiny experiences where your friends and family take center stage. No photos leave your device. Nintendo never sees them.

Months after paying a deposit and chasing down answers through repeated calls and emails, NBC News opened the box on the Trump Mobile T1 smartphone. Inside waited a gold-colored device that turns heads the moment it leaves the packaging. An American flag covers the back, though it carries only eleven stripes instead of the standard thirteen. Trump branding appears in four separate spots across the body, making the origin unmistakable from the first glance.
Screwdrivers sit quietly in toolboxes around the world, and most people reach for one without ever wondering about the handle. Yet that handle carries a design story that stretches back more than 150 years and explains every curve, flute, and flat surface on the tool you use today.
Lenovo quietly launched the G02 into online marketplaces a few weeks ago, and it has already piqued the interest of retro gaming fans. Aside from being lightweight (around half a pound), you can get it in black, white, or, if you’re feeling daring, a bright red and black combination. The packing is entirely Lenovo, and when you boot it up, the splash screen matches.
Travelers stepping into Terminal B at LaGuardia Airport now spot a full-size hologram waiting near the food hall. She stands there in crisp professional clothes, smiling slightly, looking so real that people often pause for a second before realizing she is made of light. Her name is Bridget, and she exists to answer questions on the spot.
