    Lego has recreated Leonardo da Vinci’s flying machine.

    Following a buildable Mona Lisa, Lego has tackled another da Vinci creation with a 493-piece replica of the renaissance polymath’s flying machine. It still can’t actually fly, but a system of strings, hinges, and pulleys makes its fabric covered wings flap when you pull a trigger. It will be available starting on January 1, 2025, for $49.99, and will include a da Vinci minifigure.

    TCL put a projector in a party speaker.

    A pulsing light show isn’t a feature high on anyone’s projector wish list, but that didn’t stop TCL from including one on its new A1. Just 360 ISO lumens of brightness limits the 1080P projector’s use to dark rooms or nighttime showings, but for $499.99 it doubles as a 16W Bluetooth speaker with RGB lights that sync to your beats.

    Amazon Kindle Colorsoft review: good color is a good start

    7

    Verge Score

    The Colorsoft is essentially a Paperwhite with a color screen. It might be worth waiting for a color Kindle Scribe instead.
