This is the cozy blanket the Nikon Z9 will wear to the moon.

I was about to complain about the lack of cameras at Nikon’s CES booth when I came across this display. It’s a modified Z9 inside a special thermal blanket, and it will accompany astronauts to the moon as part of the Artemis III mission. The big, simplified buttons will be easier to press with massive gloves on. Super cool!

ShiftCam’s tiny 2TB SSD upgrades your iPhone’s recording capabilities.

The Planck SSD is drop-proof, IP65 water-resistant, and weighs just 10 grams, meaning you’ll barely feel it attached to your smartphone.

With transfer speeds up to 1,050MB/s it’s fast enough to unlock ProRes 4K 60fps recording on the iPhone 15 and 16. ShiftCam will launch the Planck through a Kickstarter in February in 1TB and 2TB capacities, according to 9to5Mac.

Full retail pricing for the Planck SSD is expected to be $189 for the 1TB version and $299 for the 2TB. It will be discounted as part of the Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to $125 and $199.

The only thing more terrifying than a spider router: a spider router with AI.

They’ve been haunting CES since 2015, and there’s no end in sight.

The Asus ROG Rapture GT-BE19000AI claims to be the first with a built-in NPU for AI-powered ad, tracker, and malicious site blocking, AI-powered noise detection to improve Wi-Fi stability, AI-powered “triple-level game acceleration,” and allegedly, AI power savings, too. Dong Knows Tech says it’ll cost $800.

A better look at the zany ergo keyboard with Wolverine claw action.

I showed you the AutoKeybo right after I tried it, but here’s a video that gives you a better idea of how it works!

I think they need to build a proper cyberdeck out of this, something a bit more Ghost in the Shell. Maybe an Angry Miao collab?

TIL Samsung Display makes screens that stretch — not just wider or taller, but in three dimensions.

The company’s been working on them since 2017, and they’re now beginning to impress — as you’ll see, I witnessed a miniature Las Vegas Sphere bulge from the panel, as well as a tiny virtual shark attack. But I’ll admit the company’s own video is even more impressive.

My video, however, also contains other awesome flexes!

Look who’s Sphere.

Delta’s about to host a big, splashy CES keynote in Vegas’ biggest, roundest screen. And really, what’s more CES than a big spectacle and a giant screen? We’re going to hear from CEO Ed Bastian, and in the meantime, there are experiences to experience. How very Vegas.

Want an RTX 5090 for your small form factor PC?

It will have to be Nvidia’s Founder’s Edition model, according to an update to Nvidia’s small form factor PC compatibility list spotted by VideoCardz.

That’s a lens of a different color.

Chamelo’s color-changing and tint-adjusting sunglass lenses are back — only now, they support prescriptions.

That AI-powered livestreaming assistant I wrote about yesterday? I’d be skeptical of it.

It looked vaguely interesting (and weird) in a video from Streamlabs. Then I watched this new Nvidia video where the assistant says almost the exact same script but to help out a different streamer. So right now, it seems like total marketing.

At least Nvidia’s video shows a cool virtual key light effect that’s possible with RTX 50-series GPUs.

I finally touched the MSI Claw 8 AI Plus.

The Intel Lunar Lake handheld, on sale now, looks and feels SO much better than the original, and I hear it performs far better, too.
