Why is this outdoor kitchen? | Image: Sonos An unannounced Sonos speaker called Play has been spotted on the Canadian Best Buy site. The Sonos Play looks like a slightly shrunk-down version of the Move 2 with a loop on the back for toting it around. While nothing is confirmed yet, it's listed at CAD $399.99 with a release date of March 31st, 2026. In addition to Wi-Fi for multi-room Sonos setups with up to 32 speakers, there's support for AirPlay 2 and Bluetooth 5.3. There's even an aux in for hooking up to a turntable or other audio equipment.
The Best Buy listing mentions Trueplay, which automatically tunes sound to your environment. Unlike the Move, the Play says it's IP67 rated f …

In a statement on X, Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour said his company would pay out positions on "Ali Khamenei out as Supreme Leader?" at the last trading price before his death. Mansour said that Kalshi doesn't "list markets directly tied to death" and that its rules are designed to "prevent people from profiting from death." In addition, Kalshi is refunding fees related to the market and reimbursing anyone who purchased shares after Khamenei's death. Some users have voiced anger at how the situation was handled, claiming that either Kalshi's rules should have been communicated more clearly, or that its markets should have been more narrowly wor …

Fish are popular animals to keep as pets, and for good reason. They’re relatively low maintenance, relaxing to watch, and have a high aesthetic appeal. But for all their upsides, they aren’t quite as companionable as a dog or a cat. Although some fish can do limited walking or flying, these aren’t generally kept as pets and would still need considerable help navigating the terrestrial world. To that end, [Everything is Hacked] built a fish tank that allows his fish to move around on their own. We presume he’s heard the old joke about two fish in a tank. One says, “Do you know how to drive this thing?”
The first prototype of this “fish tank” is actually built on a tracked vehicle with...

This week, I set up a Booklore instance to allow me to wirelessly sync ebooks to my Kobo e-reader.
However, in the (short) time since, I've run into a bit of a limitation: Booklore's Kobo sync doesn't support PDF files (which seems to be a limitation of the way that Kobo fetches files from its store rather than Booklore specific).
Most of the books that I read are in EPUB format, but I've also got various user manuals and technical reference docs in PDF that I'd like to be able to fetch onto the reader, on demand.
Although I could use a USB cable to sync PDFs over, it'd somewhat undermine the point in running Booklore in the first place.
So, I decided to install KOReader onto my Kobo. KOReader is a document...

La mort d’Ali Khamenei rapproche le Moyen-Orient d’un remodelage de toute la région, écrit cet éditorialiste du quotidien israélien “Yediot Aharonot”. Si le régime s’effondre, ce sera un succès retentissant pour les États-Unis et Israël, moins de trois ans après les attaques du 7 Octobre. Cela rappellera au monde entier “la puissance israélienne et la superpuissance américaine” mais ce ne sera pas sans risque.

Lego's new Smart Brick is a pretty big deal. It packs a miniature computer, a microphone, and NFC tech into a classic 2×4 Lego brick, which can power all sorts of new experiences with select sets. It has so much promise that we awarded it "best in show" at CES 2026, and now, eight Star Wars-themed sets that support the Smart Brick (and include it, in some cases) are now available.
Three of them include at least one Smart Brick, along with a charging cradle and cable, while the rest are merely "Smart Play compatible," meaning they're BYOB (bring your own brick). The interactivity of the NFC tags and the smart minifigurs won't be possible unl …

For a late-1990s engineer with good soldering skills, many a free pint of beer could be earned by installing modchips on the game consoles of the day. Modchips were usually a small microcontroller connected with a few wires to selected pins on the chips or pads on the board that masked or overrode the copy protection and region locking. This scene was brought back for us by a recent [Modern vintage gamer] video looking at the history of console hardware mods, and it’s worth a watch (see the video, below).
The story starts in 1996 with the original PlayStation, largely the source of those free pints for a nascent Hackaday scribe back in the day. Along the way, as he expands the story, we find other memories,...

We finally have an update to the Soundcore Space One that launched two and a half years ago. At MWC 2026, Soundcore has announced the Space 2, which will be available in the US on April 21st in three colors - linen white, jet black, and seafoam green - for $129.99. That's $30 more than the Space One's original price.
According to Soundcore, the Space 2 have had a full-band noise cancellation upgrade with the focus of those improvements on the low-frequency sounds we all generally use ANC headphones to block - things like airplane, train, and bus engine sounds while traveling. The Space 2 use the same number of microphones as the Space One f …

I saw the camera arm unfold from this demo phone, though it didn’t do much else. Honor has revealed more details of its so-called Robot Phone at MWC 2026, and finally showed a working unit in action alongside a dancing humanoid robot. Specs are still thin on the ground, but the company has confirmed it plans to release the phone in the second half of this year - though I've been told that will only be in China.
The Robot Phone doesn't quite live up to the name - really it's a smartphone with a gimbal-stabilized camera arm crammed into the back. Honor has now revealed that the main camera will have a 200-megapixel sensor, and is built into what it says is the smallest 4DoF gimbal system in the industry,...

One of the problems with being a graffiti artist is that you have to carry around a different spray can for each color you intend to use. [Sandesh Manik] decided to solve this problem by building a rig that can produce a wider range of colors by mixing the paint from several cans at once. Check it out in the video below.
The project is called Spectrum. It uses four off-the-shelf spray paint cans—colored red, blue, yellow, and white—and mixes them to create a wider range of colors. All four cans are hooked up to a single output nozzle via a nest of tubing and a four-to-one tube manifold.  Key to controlling the flow of paint is a custom device which [Sandesh] calls the “rotary pinch valve,” with one...

Not so long ago, most computer users didn’t own their own machines. Instead, they shared time on mainframes or servers, interacting with this new technology through remote terminals. While the rise of cloud computing and AI might feel like a modern, more dystopian echo of that era, some look back on those early days with genuine fondness. If you agree, check out this 70s-era terminal replica from [David Green].

These machines had no local computing resources and were only connected to their host computer via a serial connection.
