    NASA’s Apollo missions inspired this $800 calculator watch.

    A British startup has miniaturized the interfaces Apollo astronauts used aboard the command and lunar modules to create the DSKY Moonwatch. In addition to basic calculator functions the watch has GPS waypoint navigation and a battery good for 24 hours of use between charges with a USB cable.

    You can preorder it now for £649 (around $814) and delivery is expected sometime in Q1 of 2025.

    After seven years there’s a new way to play with the Switch’s Joy-Cons.

    Takahiro Miyazawa has released a new mini golf game for the Switch that’s played by swinging a Joy-Con that hangs from two others using their wrist straps, as spotted by Nintendo Life.

    The unique setup mimics the movements of a putter, increasing the challenge of controlling your shot power. Mini Golf Simulator is available now for $5.50.

    Lasers connect this custom wireless surround sound system.

    Most wireless speaker systems compromise sound quality for convenience, but Matthew Perks’ custom setup cuts the cords without any audio compression. It upgrades an optical S/PDIF connection, which typically relies on LEDs and fiber optic cables, with lasers and mirrors that bounce digital audio signals around a room from transmitters to receivers connected to each satellite speaker.
