Imagine if Disney became a big video game company — by buying a big video game company.
It’s a genuine possibility, according to Thomas Buckley’s incredibly juicy reporting over at Bloomberg that’s so chock-full of details about Disney’s CEO we already linked to it earlier today:
Iger’s deputies are pushing him to consider a bolder transformation of Disney from gaming licensee to gaming giant through, say, an acquisition of Electronic Arts. But, as with everything else, he’s been noncommittal.

A Bag End worthy of your Lego Rivendell (and then some).
Thorston Bonsch has been building incredible Lego vignettes based on The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings for years, and he’s now capped it off with an incredibly detailed version of the famous Hobbit-house with the round green door where Bilbo and Frodo lived.
I particularly love the pantry and dining room — can easily imagine them full of singing dwarves! (via The Brothers Brick)

Bambu’s new 3D printer comes with killswitches.
Did you hear about Bambu’s brief 3D-printers-gone-rogue incident and think “never in my workplace”? The new $2,500 Bambu X1E has physical killswitches for its Wi-Fi and (brand-new) ethernet jack, works without Bambu’s cloud, and lets you remove the networking module entirely.
Oh, and it’s got a 4-stage air filter, 320-degree nozzle to print more carbon-fiber-laden filament, and a temp-controlled chamber. Otherwise, it’s an X1C.

Disney’s first film, Snow White, will stream October 16th in a new 4K restoration.
It’s not the first restoration for the 1937 movie — in 1993, long before the DVD, Cinesite did a 4.7TB digitization of the film alongside a special Kodak “dustbusting” technique. But Disney says it’s using new scans of the original negatives for a new 4K UHD version, coming October 10th to disc and hitting Disney Plus on October 16th.
