Ça va, pas trop chaud ? Alors tant mieux, parce que je vais vous faire avoir une petite suée tellement ce truc est cool ! Ça s’appelle Memflix et c’est une bibliothèque JavaScript qui transforme vos documents texte en… fichiers vidéo MP4 ! Oui, vous avez bien lu. Et le plus fou, c’est que vous pouvez ensuite faire des recherches sémantiques ultra-rapides dans ces vidéos.

L’idée est tellement simple qu’elle en devient géniale car au lieu de stocker vos données dans une base de données traditionnelle, Memflix encode tout dans des QR codes qui sont ensuite intégrés frame par frame dans une vidéo. Résultat ? Un stockage 10 fois plus efficace qu’une base de données classique et des recherches qui prennent moins d’une seconde, même sur des millions de chunks de texte.

Attention les nostalgiques ! Si vous avez grandi dans les années 90 avec un PC sous Windows 95 et que vous étiez fan de LEGO, y’a de fortes chances que vous ayez passé des heures sur LEGO Island. Ce jeu culte de 1997 où on incarnait Pepper Roni, le livreur de pizzas le plus cool de l’île, vient de recevoir une seconde jeunesse grâce au projet isle-portable.

Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas, LEGO Island c’était LE jeu en monde ouvert avant l’heure. On pouvait se balader librement sur une île peuplée de personnages loufoques qui se démontaient dans tous les sens pour nous faire marrer. Entre les courses de jet-ski, les missions de dépannage et la fameuse poursuite en hélicoptère où on balançait des pizzas sur le méchant Brickster (oui, des pizzas, le truc qui l’avait aidé à s’échapper), c’était du grand n’importe quoi mais qu’est-ce qu’on adorait ça !

Why this Android + Apple Trackable Wallet Could Change Your EDC Game Forever

As someone who just bought an Apple Watch not too long ago, I can’t begin to tell you what a heaven-sent it is to be able to ‘summon’ your phone through the watch. I’m decently organized, but I do tend to leave my phone, wallet, keys around the house sometimes, and I just wish there was a way to track or summon your wallet the way you would your phone – WITHOUT fitting a godawful AirTag inside it. Sure, there are cards that help you track your wallet too – until you switch from iOS to Android, and then suddenly you need a new tracker. By that metric, Seinxon has accomplished something genuinely clever: creating the first wallet that plays nice with both Apple Find My and Google Find My Device simultaneously. For those of us living in mixed-device households (or who might switch platforms someday), this dual-ecosystem approach solves a real problem rather than creating another walled garden.

The wallet launched at $65 for early backers (34% off the planned $99 retail), which initially seemed steep until you dig into the technical details. Most tracking wallets are essentially leather pouches with a slot for an AirTag or a Chipolo card. The Seinxon integrates both tracking systems natively, eliminating bulk while tapping into Apple’s network of nearly a billion devices and Google’s massive Android ecosystem. Honestly, this is genuinely smart engineering that acknowledges how people actually use technology across multiple platforms and devices.

Designer: Seinxon

The tracking capability alone would make this interesting, but Seinxon packed in five additional features without creating a bulky monstrosity. The detachable magnetic cardholder serves double duty as a phone stand, addressing the awkward “prop your phone against a water glass during lunch” problem we’ve all experienced. The magnetic attachment feels substantial in a satisfying, Apple-accessory kind of way – strong enough to stay put but not so powerful that it requires a wrestling match to separate components.

The wallet’s somewhat modular design means you can detach the card holder and have it hooked to your phone, while the bifold remains in your pant pocket. It’s a nice way to separate elements based on where you need them. The card holder, however, has all the tracking tech, so it’s best placed back in the wallet when you’re not using its phone-stand feature.

The built-in NFC business card functionality transforms the wallet from passive storage into an active networking tool. Tap your wallet against someone’s phone, and your contact details transfer instantly. This feature has existed in various forms for years, but integration into something you already carry eliminates the need for yet another gadget. The implementation here matters – the NFC chip remains powered even when the wallet battery runs low, ensuring your digital business card works even if tracking temporarily doesn’t.

This might be the first wallet with an IP rating, but it doesn’t hurt that the Seinxon Trackable Wallet+ is IP68 certified. This specification means the wallet can survive submersion in 1.5 meters of water for 30 minutes – plenty of protection for rain, spills, or the occasional accidental washing machine trip. Achieving this level of water resistance with multiple electronic components requires careful gasket design and material selection. The company apparently tested prototypes through 200 submersion cycles to validate the waterproofing claims. It just means the wallet’s durable against water and splashes, I don’t recommend jumping into a pool with it.

Battery life typically becomes the Achilles heel of smart accessories, especially those running multiple radios. Seinxon addressed this potential weakness by incorporating wireless charging, eliminating fiddly ports that could compromise waterproofing. The Qi-compatible charging coil works with standard charging pads, though the company recommends their own charging mat for optimal alignment. According to their testing data, a full charge powers the wallet for approximately three weeks of normal use. The battery itself is a custom 400mAh lithium polymer cell rated for 500+ charge cycles before capacity degradation becomes even slightly noticeable.

The physical design balances tech integration with wallet fundamentals. At just 14mm thin, it maintains a reasonably slim profile while accommodating up to eight cards plus cash. The exterior uses vegetable-tanned leather from an Italian tannery that meets environmental certification standards, while also boasting RFID-blocking features that prevent your cards from digital theft and unwarranted scanning. The stitching pattern cleverly conceals antenna placement while maintaining signal strength, showing attention to both aesthetics and functionality.

The interface handles both Apple and Google tracking setups through a unified process rather than forcing users through separate workflows. Location history, battery status, and NFC card customization all live within a clean interface that doesn’t require a computer science degree to navigate. The company promises three years of software updates, addressing the common concern that crowdfunded products become abandonware shortly after delivery.

The Seinxon Trackable Wallet+ represents what crowdfunding platforms do best: enabling innovative solutions that larger companies overlook because they’re too invested in their ecosystems. By bridging the Apple-Google divide while adding genuinely useful features, Seinxon has created something that solves actual problems rather than inventing new ones. The wallet starts at a rather impressive $65, which definitely undercuts most wallets, let alone paying for a wallet, a phone stand, an AirTag, and an Android tracker. The 6-in-1 Seinxon Trackable Wallet+ ships globally starting July 2025.

LEGO’s ‘Tricky Traps’ Promises a Hands-On Experience That Will Captivate All Ages

Par : Sarang Sheth
28 juin 2025 à 00:30

The clacking of marbles against plastic, the agonizing wait as your ball teeters on the edge of a trap, the trash talk between friends gathered around a tabletop game. Remember that? The “Tricky Traps” LEGO Ideas project bottled that exact feeling, transporting us back to the days when entertainment didn’t require a charging cable. Created by LEGO enthusiasts BRICKUP and JodyPad, this 600-piece recreation of the classic 80s Tomy game has already captured over 1,000 supporters on the LEGO Ideas platform. Nostalgia sells, but this project goes beyond mere sentimentality. The creators have meticulously designed each piece to function exactly like the original, resulting in a LEGO set you’ll actually play with long after building it.

I’ve always had a soft spot for LEGO sets that do something after you’ve snapped the last brick into place. The company has quietly built an impressive portfolio of interactive builds over the years. The playable chess sets let you stage epic battles between minifigures. The LEGO Mario sets transform your living room floor into a real-world platformer with electronic sensors and sound effects. Even the Ideas Maze set from 2016 brought genuine gameplay to the LEGO experience, with a tilting labyrinth that challenged your steady hand. “Tricky Traps” continues this tradition, blending the satisfaction of construction with the thrill of competition.

Designers: BRICKUP & JodyPad

The original Tricky Traps captured 80s kids’ hearts with its devilish obstacle course for marbles. Players navigated through moving platforms, sudden drops, and precarious pathways, all while racing against opponents and the clock. This LEGO recreation maintains that essence while adding the unmistakable texture of brick-built design. Each of the approximately 600 pieces serves a purpose, creating a 1:1 scale model that doubles as a fully functional game. The designers incorporated Technic elements to recreate the motorized aspects of the original, ensuring that this isn’t just a static display piece. The attention to mechanical detail shows a deep understanding of both LEGO engineering and what made the original game so addictive.

LEGO shines brightest when it pushes beyond static models. The grand piano that actually plays, the Nintendo Entertainment System with its scrolling TV screen, the functioning typewriter with its satisfying key action. “Tricky Traps” belongs in this category of builds that reward you twice: first during construction, then every time you play with it. For a generation raised on instant digital gratification, there’s something revolutionary about a toy that demands patience, skill, and physical presence. If this set makes it through the LEGO review process, expect to see adults hogging it at family gatherings, reliving their youth one marble at a time, while introducing a new generation to the analog joys of mechanical gaming.

The project still has 589 days to gather the 5,000 supporters needed to reach the next review milestone, but its early momentum suggests a hunger for tactile, interactive play experiences. With enough support, it could potentially become a retail box set that all of us can assemble and play with. If you want to see that happen, i.e., if you love tactile games over doomscrolling displays, go ahead and give the Tricky Traps your vote on the LEGO Ideas website here!

Spacious Single-Level Tiny House With A Porch Offers Elevated Modern Comfort & Minimalist Style

27 juin 2025 à 23:30

The Rowan Tiny Home is the latest offering from Tiny House Listings, and it takes a fresh attitude to small-space living. At first glance, it’s the clarity of its single-level layout and the inviting front porch that set the tone. The house stretches 34 feet in length and is slightly wider than most, measuring 10 feet across, which immediately gives the interior a more open and relaxed feel. Finished in engineered wood with a durable metal roof, the Rowan balances minimalist lines with a sense of solidity and comfort that’s rare among park model tiny homes.

The interior experience of the home is all about spaciousness and thoughtful functionality. The 340-square-foot interior unfolds in a way that feels purposeful and uncluttered, with each zone flowing effortlessly into the next. The living room greets you first—bright, comfortable, and anchored by a sofa and built-in cabinetry, it’s a space that easily accommodates lounging, conversation, or a quiet evening with a book. Natural light pours in from generous windows, reinforcing the home’s sense of calm and connection to its surroundings.

Designer: Tiny House Listings

The kitchen serves as the center of the home, and it is designed with everyday living in mind. There’s an induction cooktop, plenty of counter space, and room for additional appliances—unusual flexibility for a home of this size. Storage is handled with efficiency, with clever cabinetry and nooks that keep everything close at hand but out of sight. The dining area, just steps away, makes the most of the open plan, creating a seamless transition between meal prep, dining, and relaxation.

The bedroom is quite impressive, amped with a full double bed and built-in closet that offer comfort and practicality, while the single-level design means there’s no need for ladders or lofts. Ample headroom and easy circulation make this space feel like a true retreat, rather than a compromise. The bathroom, too, is generously sized for a tiny home, with a modern shower, vanity, and enough space to move around without feeling boxed in. Every detail has been chosen to support full-time living, from the fixtures to the layout.

One of Rowan’s strongest assets is its versatility. The covered front porch extends the living space outdoors, perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The Rowan functions well as a primary residence or a weekend escape; its proportions and features adapt easily to different lifestyles. It’s a home that encourages you to slow down, focus on essentials, and enjoy the daily rituals of living.

The design language throughout is minimalist but never cold, with subtle Scandinavian influences that emphasize light, warmth, and natural materials. There’s a sense of permanence here—the Rowan isn’t just about squeezing life into a smaller footprint, but about expanding what’s possible in a compact home. It challenges assumptions about tiny living, offering an experience that feels grounded, comfortable, and genuinely livable.

World’s Narrowest Fiat Panda is one anorexic 19-inch-wide EV destined for the record books

Classic cars often become platforms for bold customization, but few reimaginings are as visually striking (or ugly, I have to admit) as this one. Italian mechanic Andrea Marazzi has transformed a 1993 Fiat Panda into what is now being described as the world’s narrowest functioning car. At just 19.6 inches wide, the one-seater electric vehicle looks more like a cartoon sketch brought to life than a road-ready hatchback. Yet it can move, steer, stop, and drive like any other car. That said, I would never imagine myself driving this one-eyed Cyclops in this lifetime.

Marazzi, who works at his family’s scrapyard and mechanical workshop in Bagnolo Cremasco, spent over a year building the vehicle as a tribute to the original Fiat Panda. Nearly every original part of the 1993 car has been reused in the process—doors, lights, roof, and wheels—but the body has been split vertically and rebuilt to shrink the vehicle’s width down to a comically slim profile. What was once a compact city car is now a sculptural slice of steel with just enough room to accommodate a single person, seated at the exact center.

Designer: Andrea Marazzi

Powering this narrow Panda is a small electric motor borrowed from an e-scooter, paired with a 24V battery that gives the car a modest top speed of about 15 kilometers per hour and a driving range of approximately 25 kilometers. It’s not built for real-world commuting, nor is it legally road-registered. But it functions exactly as a basic car should: offering forward and reverse drive, braking, turning, and a working headlight and turn signals. While Marazzi originally created it as a showpiece, the vehicle is fully operational and was recently driven in public at an enthusiast gathering in Pandino, Italy.

The car made its debut at “Panda a Pandino,” a festival celebrating 45 years of the Fiat Panda. Surrounded by thousands of conventionally sized Pandas, Marazzi’s single-seater stood out immediately. Videos and images from the event quickly went viral online, leaving viewers fascinated by its proportions and mobility. Many were amused by how the Panda looks almost flattened, as if it had been squeezed into a 2D shape while retaining its ability to move. Others praised the engineering behind it, describing it as a brilliant blend of creativity, nostalgia, and humor.

Though it’s not street-legal, Marazzi is in the process of submitting the car for a Guinness World Record as the slimmest functioning vehicle ever made. At just a third of the width of the original Fiat Panda, it’s an extreme but fascinating reinterpretation of automotive form. More art installation than transport solution, the narrow Panda invites viewers to rethink proportions, functionality, and playfulness in mechanical design. It’s a rolling experiment—part engineering challenge, part tribute, and part public spectacle.

This Terminator T-800 Headphone Stand Is A Must-Have for Sci-Fi Audiophiles

Few cinematic antiheros have captured our collective techno-anxiety quite like the T-800 Terminator. That chrome skull with piercing red eyes has haunted our dreams since 1984 when Arnold first uttered those now-legendary words: “I’ll be back.” Four decades later, the endoskeleton design remains a masterclass in mechanical menace, a perfect fusion of human anatomy and cold machine precision. The exposed pistons, hydraulic jaw detail, and that unwavering death stare somehow manage to be both familiar and utterly alien. James Cameron’s creation tapped into something primal about our relationship with technology – the fear that one day our creations might look back at us with those same emotionless eyes.

Now that iconic design has found a brilliantly practical new purpose on your desktop. Someone has finally answered the question nobody thought to ask: what if the relentless killing machine from the future could hold your Sennheisers? The result is this meticulously crafted 3D-printed Terminator Endoskeleton Headphone Stand, and I’m absolutely here for this unexpected fusion of 80s sci-fi nostalgia and modern desktop organization. Standing at approximately 8.5 inches tall, this menacing little skull transforms the mundane act of storing your headphones into something with far more cult weight than your minimalist wood or metal stand. Etsy seller by the name of ‘ProperCrafts’ offers it in two finishes, and judging by the photos, both capture the weathered metallic sheen that made the original so compelling.

Designer: ProperCrafts

The true showstopper here is undoubtedly the glowing red LED eyes, powered via USB. They cast an ominous glow across your desk that hits the perfect balance between practical lighting and nostalgic fan service. The lights activate when plugged in, bathing your workspace in that signature Skynet red that instantly communicates “cybernetic organism” rather than “plastic headphone stand.” This feature transforms what could have been a simple novelty into something genuinely atmospheric. The wiring is cleverly concealed within the stand itself, maintaining the clean aesthetic while providing that essential touch of authenticity.

The side of the cranium features detailed mechanical elements that would make Industrial Light & Magic’s original model makers nod in approval. Even the base has been thoughtfully designed with enough stability to prevent toppling when supporting even the heaviest audiophile-grade headphones.

For the 3D printing enthusiasts looking to take this piece to the next level, an acetone bath can smooth out the visible layer lines for an even more screen-accurate finish. Fair warning, though: this finishing technique requires significant experience with 3D printing materials and can easily ruin the entire piece if performed incorrectly. The standard finish looks fantastic out of the box, so novices should resist the urge to experiment unless they’re comfortable potentially sacrificing their new cybernetic desktop companion to the gods of DIY finishing. A little masking, a little spray paint, and you can actually turn this plastic piece into a shimmering chrome skull that should have the average mother fervently whispering “Santa Maria” every time she enters your room.

While modern CGI has given us more elaborate killer robots, nothing has quite replaced the primal fear of that chrome skull with glowing red eyes. Priced between $121-151 depending on finish options, it’s on the expensive side for sure, but feels reasonable once you consider that it also serves as a detailed movie prop with a fair bit of functionality (just like this Sauron headphone stand). For anyone who grew up watching the Terminator films or simply appreciates retrofuturistic design, this headphone stand delivers both nostalgia and utility in equal measure. Your headphones finally have a resting place worthy of Judgment Day.

LEGO creations have long blurred the line between toy and art, with builders recreating everything from classic cars to full-scale architectural icons. For Richard Paules, it was a childhood passion that turned into an extraordinary pursuit of miniature realism. After winning attention for his detailed LEGO model of Dulles International Airport, Paules has now unveiled his most ambitious build yet: a stunning replica of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, constructed from approximately 150,000 LEGO bricks.

The massive model is set to go on display in the ticketing area of Terminal 2 next week, just before the TSA checkpoint. Weighing nearly 120 pounds, the replica showcases the airport’s unique architecture, from the domed ceilings and expansive skylights to the multi-level arrivals and departures layout. It even includes a realistic baggage claim area, gate seating, jet bridges, and signature airfield markings. Every detail, down to the exact floor patterning, has been meticulously replicated with plastic bricks.

Designer: Richard Paules

Paules spent nine months designing and assembling the model, calling it the most challenging project he had ever undertaken. Compared to his previous Dulles build, this one pushed his skills further due to Reagan National’s complex structural features and curved rooflines. As a solo builder, Paules had to manage both the creative vision and the physical logistics, including how to transport such a large and fragile piece safely to the airport. The project, now complete, reflects not only his technical skill but his deep fascination with aviation and public spaces.

The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority worked closely with Paules throughout the process, helping coordinate installation and display logistics. Airport staff were reportedly stunned by the model’s accuracy, with one operations manager noting how the LEGO version captured the character of the terminal almost perfectly. The model is currently hidden behind a curtain on the ticketing level between doors three and four, and will be unveiled to the public next Monday.

This installation continues a growing trend of using public art and interactive displays in transit hubs to enhance the traveler experience. Instead of rushing past generic hallways, passengers at Reagan National will now encounter an unexpected moment of creativity—one that offers both nostalgia and inspiration. The display also serves as a conversation piece for both aviation buffs and casual travelers, giving them a chance to appreciate the complexity of the airport in miniature.

Following the success of his Dulles model, Paules has again demonstrated how LEGO can transform familiar infrastructure into works of art. His Reagan National build is not just a tribute to architecture or transportation, it’s a celebration of patience, precision, and play. For many who pass through Terminal 2, this impressive creation will likely become an unexpected highlight of their journey. For LEGO enthusiasts, well… it’ll be another build to take inspiration from and come up with something equally stunning.
