    The best price yet on Lego’s awesome Back to the Future DeLorean set.

    Lego did the DeLorean right in 2022 — with light-up flux capacitor, wheels that flip into hover mode, a tiny Mr. Fusion with a banana to throw inside, and much much more.

    It’s $160 at Amazon and Walmart, the best price I’ve seen — $10 cheaper than its pre-inflation pricetag. $170 at Target, too.

    Razer’s first hitbox is now on sale.

    The Razer Kitsune is the very first arcade controller to use lightning-fast optical switches underneath its domed keys, the company claims. It’s also Razer’s first stab at a stickless arcade stick, colloquially referred to as a “hitbox” by the fighting game community. (Razer prefers to say “leverless.”)

    It’s sleek, just 0.75 inches thick, has RGB lighting, and costs $300 for PC and PS5 — or $330 if you choose its optional Chun-Li and Cammy designs.

    Just how many times did Musk tell on himself in one video?

    In addition to nearly running a red light, doxxing Zuck, and flouting Tesla’s own driver-assist rules, Elon Musk probably broke the law.

    Did you know it’s illegal in California to hold and operate a phone while driving? The fine starts at $20, but if you do it twice in three years, you get a point on your license too. We’ve asked Palo Alto PD what they’ll do with the evidence Musk uploaded.

    Zuck says he can type 100WPM inside a VR headset.

    He says Meta can turn “any flat surface” into a virtual keyboard capable of 120WPM speeds. That’s fast! Meta’s 2020 “PinchType” averaged just 12WPM, though the company’s “surface touch typing” averaged 73WPM that same year. I’m not seeing a research paper for today’s brag yet.

    My question: does this work without the fiducial (QR-code like thingy on the table) as a frame of reference?

    I have never wanted a PDP gamepad until this very moment.

    I’m a sucker for transparent tech. But PDP’s new Switch and Xbox gamepads aren’t just see-through — as Verge alum Alice writes at Polygon, they’re dioramas. Sega, Nintendo, and Hasbro are all helping put figurines and graphics inside. Wired start at $40, wireless at $60, arriving as soon as September.

    AMD announces Radeon RX 7800 XT and 7700 XT, starting at $449

    Plus FSR 3 with frame generation and ‘native anti-aliasing.’
