The Icemag (video below) is almost obsolete. Next month, Sharge will intro an Icemag 2 that doubles the MagSafe / Qi2 wireless charging speed to 15W, adds a folding kickstand, and reportedly improves the cooling!
Speaking of obsolete: In my tests, the recent Shargeek 140 is better than the old Shargeek 130 in my video. No more overheating, better display, same capacity.
We’ve seen the first Thunderbolt 5 port, the first cable, and the first dock to theoretically offer its blistering 120Gbps speeds. Now, behold the first TBT5 cards from Gigabyte and from Asus.
Neither one magically adds Thunderbolt to your PC — to create two do-it-all Thunderbolt 5 connectors, you need to plug power, USB, mini-DP video and your motherboard’s existing internal Thunderbolt header into this thing.
Redherring32 says they spent four months figuring out how to trim the motherboard, build 12 custom PCBs (and custom flex ribbon cables, it seems!), put it all together, and open source it.
My dumb question: can I get a full-fat version based on the chonky original Duke instead of the superior but boring Controller S?
The court order just came in, and I’ve corrected our story. Bolding mine:
The Court grants a partial stay of the permanent injunction pending the circuit court’s resolution of the stay requests Google filed there, with the exception of ¶ 8 of the injunction, which is not stayed.
Paragraph 8 says:
Robosen, maker of self-transforming Transformers, has teamed up with Disney to bring its Space Ranger toy to life.
It’s got 23 servo motors, working buttons (save the laser, weirdly!) and even has Buzz’s Spanish mode — plus new “first-of-its-kind micro-servos” to move its eyes and mouth. Mine has a bit of a lazy eye, though! 3.7 pounds, 14.6 inches tall, on sale today.
Will Google begin opening up its store on November 1st, or will it get to delay for years on appeal? We’ll find out tomorrow; in the meanwhile, you can read Epic’s opposition at the link below.
Epic argues Google’s already had plenty of time to change things — since the jury’s verdict was 10 months ago.
The $199 DJI Neo wasn’t the affordable FPV drone it could have been, because the goggles were too expensive! But DJI’s apparently about to change that — with budget goggles that swap out per-eye Micro-OLED luxury for a cheaper single screen.
Today, DJI’s least expensive goggles cost $349, and even those don’t work with the Neo. Hoping for sub-$200 here.
Remember the Dbrand Darkplates that pissed off Sony and eventually let you make your PS5 retro-translucent? You can now buy a $60 black version for PS5 Slim that unifies the original split panels — and for $70, it’ll come with a self-aligning magnetic stand.
Stand doesn’t work without panels; panels don’t work with Sony’s tiny stand.
