Analog phones have a certain weight to them because they feel good in your hand, with a satisfying mechanical click of the dial or buttons and the distinctive ringing sound that can be heard across a room. In a world dominated by screens and applications, these noises can be almost nostalgic. But there’s a clever approach that brings them back to life without using an external service or an internet connection.
The Bigme B10 proudly claims to be the world’s most powerful 10-inch color E-ink phone-tablet, and it has every right to do so. It packs a MediaTek Dimensity 1020 chipset, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage into a frame that remains very compact. It ships with Android 14 out of the box, allowing you to access all of those millions of apps while still providing all of the benefits of E-ink, such as a reading experience as near to paper as possible.
For many old-school platformer fans, the wait for a good remake of the legendary Nintendo 64 title from 1998, “Banjo-Kazooie,” has been an interminably long time, and yet, even after thirty years, the game still holds a special place in the hearts of many. It has kind of languished away on old hardware or within the Nintendo 64 emulation scene, and this has all come to an end with the release of a PC port, titled “Banjo: Recompiled,” courtesy of several dedicated modders.
This Intel prototype from 2006 is an early engineering sample for the Ultra-Mobile PC category. Believe it or not, the device was found at a flea market for $20. This unique piece bears markings indicating that it is Intel proprietary property and is not for sale or leasing. It serves as a software development platform designed to assist developers in building programs for the forthcoming UMPC standard.
The DJI Mini 4K Fly More Combo, priced at $289 (was $389), remains the best option for anyone starting out in 2026 or seeking for a little drone that gets the job done without being overly difficult. People continue to rave about it as the go-to solution regardless of skill level, and with good reason: it truly stands out.
A bicycle wheel with ropes instead of spokes seems like a prescription for catastrophe, but someone has managed to design one that rolls, retains tension, and can support the weight of a rider touring over rugged terrain. The end effect is stunning, halfway between the DIY inventiveness of a backyard shed and a genuinely innovative rethinking of how wheels work.
A Korean auto collector was inspired to make a one-of-a-kind Ferrari 12Cilindri, combining the Italian company’s speed and style with his homeland’s rich workmanship. Through Ferrari’s bespoke Tailor Made program, the car was crafted on both sides of the world for nearly two years, with a team from Cool Hunting, co-founders Josh Rubin and Evan Orensten, collaborating with Ferrari’s design team and a group of South Korean artists to put their own stamp on every single detail.
Microsoft has recently launched its latest custom AI processor, the Maia 200, and the timing, or should I say circumstances, of its release could not be more coincidental. Inference, the stage where a trained AI model generates responses and other outputs, has become the most expensive part of running AI systems at scale. To address that issue square on, Microsoft designed the Maia 200 from the ground up with the sole purpose of making inference more efficient and cost-effective, and the results are very evident.
Apple quietly launches the second-generation AirTag, also known as AirTag 2, an enhanced model of this compact tracking device, which was first introduced in 2021. For those of us who use these tiny discs for our keys, wallets, bags, or luggage, there is now greater range and a much louder ping.
The typewriter you see in front of you is not the official LEGO Ideas set 21327 from 2021, which puts on a nice display with moving pieces that simulate typing but fails to produce any genuine text. Meanwhile, this design goes much beyond that, with real letters appearing on the surface intended to imitate paper.
