⚙️ Tesla Gets Its Missing Gauge
Hi, Hardwirers!
Gadgets got impossibly small, strangely ergonomic, and expensive enough to blame the AI boom.
Tesla Gets Its Missing Gauge
What is it: NeuroHUD is a $379 heads-up display built for Tesla Model 3 and Model Y owners who want driving data back in front of them. The aftermarket module projects speed, navigation, battery, blind-spot alerts, and Autopilot status near the windshield, filling the dashboard gap Tesla left when it moved most controls to the center screen.

Switch 2 Hits $500
What is it: Gizmodo reports Nintendo will raise Switch 2 pricing in the U.S. from $449.99 to $499.99 on September 1, with Canada and Europe also moving higher. The article frames the hike around the RAMpocalypse, as AI data-center demand redirects memory supply and pushes up RAM and storage costs across gaming hardware. Japan also faces earlier increases on May 25. Read more →
Old Steam Box Still Boots
What is it: VideoCardz follows ETA Prime testing a nearly decade-old ZOTAC NEN Steam Machine, a small 2015 living-room PC with an Intel Core i5-6400T, GTX 960, 8GB DDR3, and 1TB SATA drive. Upgraded with 16GB RAM, an SSD, Bazzite, and Steam Big Picture, it still plays lighter games, but 3GB VRAM limits modern titles. Read more →
Pocket 4P Gets Two Cameras
What is it: Engadget reports DJI has teased the Osmo Pocket 4P, a pocket gimbal with dual cameras for wide and portrait shooting. DJI says the 2026 model targets advanced creators, while leaks point to a 1-inch wide camera, 3x zoom, 4K/240fps, 10-bit D-Log, Hasselblad tuning, 128GB storage, ActiveTrack, and a flip-out touchscreen.

Egg Mouse Fights Wrist Strain
What is it: NextAxis Design's Ovo is an egg-shaped wireless mouse built to reduce wrist strain by changing how the hand rests on a desk. Instead of forcing a flat palm grip, the rounded body supports a more vertical posture, with left and right buttons, a scroll wheel, USB-C charging, and a travel-friendly shape aimed at long work sessions.

TrackPoint Escapes the Laptop
What is it: Ploopy's Bean turns the classic laptop TrackPoint into a standalone desktop pointer. The $52 open-source device puts the tiny red nub inside a small bean-shaped shell, letting users move a cursor without pushing a mouse around. It targets keyboard-first workers, accessibility setups, and people who never stopped loving ThinkPad-style navigation. Read more →
Kindle Gets a Tiny Remote
What is it: BOOX's Tappy is a $26 Bluetooth remote made for e-readers and tablets, giving Kindle-style reading a physical page-turn button Amazon never built. The pebble-like controller clips onto a finger or sits in the hand, letting readers flip pages, scroll, and control compatible devices without reaching for the screen in bed or on a commute.

Computer Becomes a Card
What is it: Muxcard is a fully working Linux computer squeezed into a credit-card-sized board only 1mm thick. Built around a Raspberry Pi RP2350A microcontroller, it includes a tiny display, buttons, USB-C, storage, and exposed contacts, turning the idea of a computer into something closer to a wallet card, badge, or hacker business card.

Flashlight Learns Four Tricks
What is it: SparkO is a 4-in-1 hands-free flashlight that clips to clothing, snaps magnetically to a phone, stands on its own, or works as a tiny desk light. The compact gadget combines a COB LED, adjustable brightness, USB-C charging, and a rotating mount, aiming to replace the small lights people usually scatter across bags, drawers, and toolkits.

GaN Charger Goes Full Octopus
What is it: MUITAVY's 300W 7-port GaN charger turns one wall plug into a compact charging station for laptops, phones, tablets, earbuds, and travel gear. It combines four USB-C ports, three USB-A ports, smart power distribution, and a small display, delivering enough output to charge multiple high-drain devices without packing a nest of separate bricks.

Ruler Becomes Tiny Geometry Kit
What is it: UnioArc is a 7-in-1 titanium ruler that folds measurement tools into one pocketable strip of metal. The tool works as a straight ruler, angle gauge, circle drawer, caliper, protractor, compass, and marking guide, giving designers, makers, and stationery obsessives a small precision object that feels closer to engineering jewelry than school supplies.

Camera Turns Photos Into Glitches
What is it: This DIY Raspberry Pi camera deliberately turns photos into glitch art instead of chasing clean images. Built with a Pi board, small display, camera module, and custom software, the project lets users capture distorted, broken-looking pictures directly in hardware, turning digital errors into the point rather than something to fix later in editing.

Water Filter Builds Its Own Stack
What is it: Katadyn's Explorer series is a modular piston water filter system that lets hikers stack different cleaning stages depending on how questionable the water looks. The Swiss survival tool can combine microfiltration, activated carbon, and purifier modules, giving campers a field system that scales from simple stream filtering to more serious backcountry water treatment.
