    Victrola’s Sonos-compatible turntables can now wirelessly stream to other speakers.

    Through an upcoming automatic software update, Victrola is expanding the wireless compatibility of its Works With Sonos turntables to include Bluetooth, Roon, and UPnP, allowing them to connect to other speakers and audio gear.

    This functionality was already introduced in 2024 with the premium Victrola Stream Sapphire, but is now being added to its Stream Carbon, Stream Pearl, and Stream Onyx turntables, as spotted by Engadget.

    Photographing the inside of a particle accelerator sounds complicated.

    Photographer Charles Brooks is known for his captivating photos inside musical instruments, so Australia’s ANSTO invited him to capture the inside of a new part being installed on its synchotron particle accelerator.

    Brooks told PetaPixel that engineers had to test his Storz endoscopic lens for magnetism so it wouldn’t get sucked into the machine. He used a focus stacking technique that merged 120 images to create a final composite photo that seems to go on forever.

    Shark’s new tower fan blasts air in two directions.

    The $249.99 Shark TurboBlade fan has a feature you won’t find on Dyson’s bladeless tower fans. Its design features a pair of vents that can be independently adjusted to send air to both sides of a room.

    The oscillating vents can also be oriented horizontally or vertically, but the best feature might be a sleep mode that dims status lights, mutes chimes, and reduces the fan speed for quieter operation over night.

    <em>The TurboBlade can also be used as a slim tower fan, while the height of the vents can be adjusted using a telescoping pole.</em>

    Bang & Olufsen has resurrected an iconic ‘70s turntable for $35,000.

    The Beogram 4000 series turntable is an iconic piece of ‘70s hardware that’s available once again through another collaboration between Bang & Olufsen and Saint Laurent. But while the B&O Beogram 4000C comes in a fancy case made from ziricote wood, your $35,000 isn’t getting you entirely new hardware.

    These are original ‘70s units that have been hand-picked, restored, and updated by B&O with new cartridges and preamps. Only 10 of them will be available.

    <em>Just 10 units of the Bang & Olufsen Beogram 4000c Saint Laurent Rive Droite Edition by Anthony Vaccarello turntable are available.</em>

    The Escura InstantSnap camera looks like an instant photo.

    Arriving sometime in April 2025 for around $45, the InstantSnap features a fun design resembling a photo that just popped out of a Polaroid camera. Inside its white frame is a transparent viewfinder with framing guides, but there’s no screen, and images and videos are saved to a microSD card.

    Even if you’re into a lo-fi aesthetic, the 1.3-megapixel InstantSnap’s image quality might disappoint, based on sample images the company shared with Digital Camera World.

    <em>There’s a shutter button hidden on the front of the InstantSnap camera below the viewfinder, and a slider switch on the side for selecting video or photo modes.</em>
    <em>The camera has a fixed focus and is locked to a 1/125 shutter speed so you’ll potentially want to stick to taking photos with lots of light to get usable shots.</em>
