Collaboration between LEGO and Koenigsegg built a vehicle that turns heads for all the right reasons. The two companies created a full-scale version of the Sadair’s Spear using LEGO Technic pieces, and the finished machine drives under its own power on real roads and courses. Over 327,906 unique components went into this massive effort, which resulted in an automobile weighing a whopping 1800 kilos, despite the fact that the bricks themselves only accounted for about 400 kg. The long and laborious procedure came to a conclusion after almost 9,400 hours of work, when the team gave their approval and declared

Logitech teamed up with the Genshin Impact team for a special edition of its slim wireless keyboard, and the result feels more thoughtful than most licensed gear. The G515 Kamisato Ayaka special edition model, priced at $69.99 (was $170), takes the standard low-profile TKL hardware and wraps it in a clean white design that nods to the character without turning the whole thing into a billboard. It stays subtle enough for daily use while still giving fans something distinctive to look at every time they sit down. The keyboard itself measures only 22 millimeters at its tallest point, giving it

original PlayStation consoles have watched their disc drives age for decades. Lasers fade. Games start to skip or fail to load altogether. Replacement drives grow scarce and expensive. A new device called ArcStation steps in with a direct solution. It replaces the entire optical drive assembly inside the console with a compact circuit board that loads games from an SD card instead. No discs stay necessary after setup. The change keeps the original hardware intact and authentic while removing the most common point of failure.

minivans that still catches people off guard decades later. Between the front seats sat a console box that could chill drinks and freeze real ice cubes while the vehicle moved down the road. Most minivans from that era focused on basic space and reliability. This one added a practical touch few competitors matched.

Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film has already sparked plenty of conversation, but one of the quickest sellouts tied to it did not involve tickets or posters. Instead, it was a limited-run popcorn container modeled directly after the large-format film camera Nolan has long praised as his go-to tool. On June 18, the IMAX web store launched their limited edition item, which quickly sold out. This thing originally cost $50, but it's currently available on resale sites for two or three times that price. What they came up with was far more than a conventional bucket with a logo on the side.

Japanese engineering and Italian coachbuilding meet in a single car that carries the GT-R name into new territory. Only nineteen examples of the GT-R50 by Italdesign left the workshop. One of them, finished with blue accents and carrying serial number seventeen on its engine plate, sits ready for bids this weekend at the Bingo Auction in Tokyo. The project began as a celebration of the GT-R and Italdesign's 50th anniversary. Nissan offered the base GT-R NISMO platform, while Italdesign seized the reins and handled the lot, development, engineering as well as final assembly in Italy. Nissan's design teams in London

Movie studios keep hunting for ways to make a trip to the theater feel essential again. Sony Pictures landed on one clear path with its next Spider-Man film. The studio worked directly with CJ 4DPLEX to present Spider-Man: Brand New Day in SCREENX, a format built to spread the action beyond the front screen and across the side walls of specially equipped auditoriums. Audiences who choose this version enter rooms where specific scenes continue to play out on the walls next to them. The primary story remains front and center on the enormous screen in front, but there are supplementary

Mosquitoes turn pleasant summer nights into itchy ordeals for anyone spending time outdoors. One inventor refused to accept the usual sprays, candles, and frantic swatting as the only options. Instead he created a full-body electric grid that delivers a direct shock to any insect that gets too close. Russian maker Dani Cruster, who runs the DiWHY YouTube channel, drew inspiration from ordinary bug zappers. Those devices use two layers of mesh or grid with high voltage running between them. When a mosquito flies into the space, it completes the circuit and ends its life with a sharp crack. Cruster simply

Professional car thieves have leaned on a quiet radio trick for years to slip past keyless entry systems. Mark Rober, the former NASA engineer known for his glitter bomb videos and hands-on builds, wanted to see exactly how that trick works and whether regular people could defend against it. His latest experiment delivers a clear answer on both fronts. Rober started by buying a customized relay attack device from a dark net seller accessed through Tor for $12,000 in Bitcoin. Rober believed the risk was worthwhile and put the expensive gadget through a series of preliminary tests after the source

Forza Horizon 6 with an enthusiast-grade Direct Drive (DD) wheel setup, triple screen monitor rig, and a digital Ford Mustang Mach-E 1400. She is most likely using dialed in custom force feedback values, before threading the car through narrow mountain roads, tunnels, and tight corners with pro racer precision.
