    All I want for Christmas is this dart-shooting Game Boy.

    The pop-up “sights” are the best part.

    It’s called the Lame Boy, it’s by BoBoInnovation, and you can 3D print your own! It’s $20 for the files, though you’ll also need a bunch of different filament colors, plus a fistful of springs and M3 hardware, superglue, and a bit of red fiber optic for the LED. Build guide here.

    BTW, Skydio’s new HQ shares a parking lot with GoPro.

    Skydio CEO Adam Bry wouldn’t dish on it beyond “We really liked the office.” On potential partnerships, “nothing to announce.” But the drone company and the action cam company whose drone epically flopped are always within sight now.

    Bry also wouldn’t confirm or deny if Skydio worked with Snap on its discontinued Pixy drone, or whether it’ll ever build a smaller drone of its own.

    I checked out a *real* self-flying drone — here’s the video.

    Sorry to keep you waiting! Fresh off the presses, here’s our TikTok about the new Skydio Dock I told you about this AM.

    The AI-surrounded kids will (probably) be all right.

    Worried about the future of education now kids can copy their homework from a ChatGPT bot? Ben Thompson has an idea that already makes me feel a bit better: Zero Trust Homework.

    You intentionally give kids AI that spits out wrong answers, and their job is to figure out what’s wrong and why — a key skill they need to thrive in a misinformation-filled world. Educators can start now: ChatGPT and co already get a lot wrong.

    Pssst Verizon users... you might have a great deal on a killer gamepad waiting in your account.

    Even if you don’t have an Xbox, the Bluetooth + USB-C equipped Xbox Elite 2 Core is one of the most comfortable, capable pads you can buy. If you’ve got the magic coupon in your Verizon Up— I didn’t — you can snag it for half-off at $64.99.

    You can use our affiliate link if you want to tip us for the find.

    Elon Musk wants you to know his monkey is happy.

    Here’s some proof of life!

    (Never mind about those other monkeys that died.)

    Musk claims Neuralink is “like replacing a piece of skull with a smartwatch, for lack of a better analogy.”
