Italian hardware firm Telsey and software maker TVBlob just made it—the BlobBox—a reality. https://gizmodo.com/fantasy-gadget-the-ultimate-next-generation-connected-5022106 It’s not exactly a TiVo, and it’s only capable of storing over-the-air TV (and in its current form, just European…

M1-Pro Turns MacBook Pro into Stubby, Mechanical Beast

The M1-Pro is magnificent in its own right—a laptop stand carved out of a block of aluminum. But we like the M1-Pro anthropomorphizes the MacBook Pro into a strange, four-legged bug.

Sorry to already shatter your expectations. An exception to the mostly mainstream camera gear we’re scoping today is this working prototype of Leica’s super-high-end S2 DSLR, a spartan tank of a 37-megapixel camera. https://gizmodo.com/were-looking-at-tomorrows-cameras-today-and-tomorrow-5162928 It’s heavy, like a piece of war equipment, and feels like its built to withstand aerial bombardment—though it’s supposedly a bit…
