Denis Aminev, a Russian photographer, has spent years attempting to recreate the look of those magical film days that digital photography couldn’t quite replicate. It all started with movies shot on film, and how the stretched aspect ratio immediately draws your attention to them. Standard lenses and anamorphic adapters fell short, so he turned to something more direct: building his own camera from scratch.
GTA 5 typically requires around 120GB of space, however some modders have managed to reduce that figure to a mere 2.5GB. To be fair, you can still do almost everything you used to do, such as drive automobiles around Los Santos, fire firearms, jump off of planes, and so on. It’s just that the controls are a little goofy now, especially while driving, because they tend to lag.
The DJI Neo, priced at $149 (was $199), stands out as an entry-level flying drone that’s surprisingly simple to use, especially if you’re just getting started or looking for something to keep in your carry-on. People call it the ideal starter or travel companion for a reason: it’s small (just 135 grams), simple to use, and inexpensive.
Lots of people cruise past brand new GMC Hummer EVs every single day without even giving it a second glance. This massive electric pickup fits in with traffic; its boxy design and silent functioning barely raise an eyebrow on the street. That is, until you place it up against a slew of exotic, high-end supercars, at which point everyone turns around and whips out their smartphones.
Gamer Dorison Hugo has been working on a crazy concept for seven years: squeezing four GameCube controller ports onto a normal Nintendo Switch dock, and he’s finally done it. Players can now just plug in their hefty purple GameCube controllers without having to clutter up their TV stand with additional boxes. The end result appears polished enough to pass as a factory-made accessory.
A spool of filament rests calmly on a shelf, looking exactly like the usual orange Prusament roll found in numerous 3D printers, yet it hides a little secret. Prusa wanted a one-of-a-kind gift and asked Matt Denton to transform a regular 2kg spool of filament into an out-of-the-ordinary remote-controlled robot dubbed SpoolBot, which you’d be hard-pressed to tell is actually a robot going for a little roll on its own power.
Mobile phones had long been an integral part of our daily lives when April 2000 arrived. People took them everywhere because they were a must-have for younger users. Reporter Lindsey Fallow looked closely at how these phones were on the verge of becoming something major, such as having continual access to email and the internet right in the palm of your hand.
Mori3, a modular robot developed by the bright minds at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland, is made up of four triangular modules stacked in an origami-inspired pattern that is actually pretty ingenious. Each module communicates with its neighbors, establishing a little team that can change shape, move about, and be useful in a variety of ways.

A Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus production prototype appeared on Craigslist this week, and the seller is asking a whopping $1650 for it. It’s unusual that someone outside of Samsung would have access to it this early, given that Samsung plans to publicly announce the entire Galaxy S26 series, including the normal model, the Plus, and the Ultra, on February 25th at its next Unpacked event.
Portable monitors used to be a bit of a compromise, since you’d have to haul around some clunky device, deal with unstable connections, and cross your fingers that the picture would hold up under hotel lighting, but AOC has turned that experience on its head with the 16T20, priced at $49.99 (was $59.99). This 15.6-inch monitor easily fits into a backpack and has enough power to make working on it for hours or binge-watching TV shows a breeze.
