Remember the a capella group that did the scary-good Windows and iPhone sound effects? They... never stopped, and somehow I’m just learning about it today.
Here are MayTree’s incredible renditions of Street Fighter II, Sonic the Hedgehog, PS1-PS4 startup sounds, Animal Crossing, a Persona 5 vid from just a few weeks ago... heck, here’s their entire “game & effect” YouTube playlist. I am now a subscriber.
The German Bionic Apogee+ is designed to protect backs of medical workers lifting patients out of beds and wheelchairs. It robotically lifts 66 pounds from lower back onto hips and legs, plus adds handles for patients to grab. Hours of use from a small Makita power tool battery!
It didn’t make me feel stronger or faster — except the new robotic spine automatically lifting me upright. It’s designed to be shared among a crew of workers for $9,900.
The service will soon support Nvidia-blessed VRR monitors, and — if your game’s running above 40fps but struggling to hit 60 — it helps! I saw a lil less tearing and visual weirdness as I moved around in Cyberpunk.
It’s less helpful if you’re not in the sweet spot, cuz Nvidia auto-lowers resolution when framerate goes too low. G-Sync is also exclusive to Nvidia’s Ultimate tier, but that’s the only flavor I recommend anyhow.
I’ve poked some fun at Razer’s me-too gaming chairs since the beginning, but the new Razer Iskur V2’s lumbar support is nice!
I tend to lean left and right in my seat, and the “6D” lumbar comfortably tilted with me at CES. The other “Ds” are how lumbar can adjust in/out/up/down with big dials on left and right. Does it stay this comfy after hours of sitting? Here’s hoping!
I’d like to know too! I’ve been told that in general Valve isn’t easy to get a hold of, and that it has contributed to some handheld makers’ decisions to launch on Windows.
But... Valve has clearly been working towards a SteamOS that works on more handhelds, as you can see if you launch the desktop Big Picture Mode on Windows handhelds. Also, Valve is a tiny company of roughly 300 employees.
Wheels that turn sideways to crab-walk into a parking spot. 360-degree spins so I don’t have to back up as often. Diagonal driving. I want this Ioniq 5 so bad.
The chief engineer tells us they haven’t tested the tech beyond 50MPH yet — but it should hit highway speeds by 2026, could make it into EVs by 2028, and he claims it shouldn’t cost much more than a car without.
