    Anbernic refreshed and slimmed its Game Boy Advance SP.

    Last year’s RG34XXSP added a pair of thumbsticks but Anbernic’s new RG SP looks like an update to 2024’s RG35XXSP that more closely matched the GBA SP. The new model has a “refined tactile button feel,” a smaller screen bezel, and a body that’s about 10 percent thinner

    Mulder and Scully get the minifigure treatment in Lego’s first X-Files set.

    Launching on August 4th for $199.99 the 1,478-piece modular set features Mulder’s messy office and a close encounter of the third kind with an alien and a hovering UFO. It’s yet another set that could be worth it for the minifigures alone with tiny versions of Skinner, Krycek, Mr. X, Carl Busch, and the Flukeman.

    Edelkrone’s new robotic camera system folds down small enough to carry in a backpack.

    The $5,579 kit bundles three of the company’s motorized camera control units including its DollyOne v2 that can autonomously roll around a studio, a JibOne v3 that can raise and lower, and Edelkrone’s HeadPlus v3 mount that can pan, tilt, and roll a camera.

    Turn Valve’s Steam Machine into a Companion Cube with your 3D printer.

    Dbrand’s Companion Cube case is not going to happen, but you can 3D print a detailed replica of it for your Steam Machine using files shared by Printables user Jaron. A multicolor printer will make the process much easier, and they’ve shared a list of all the additional parts you’ll need like screws and magnets to assemble it.

    Samsung’s brighter Freestyle Plus projector is now available.

    First announced at CES, the latest version of Samsung’s all-in-one home theater solution is finally available through Samsung’s online store for $1,199.99. That’s a bit steep for 430 ISO lumens and a 1080P resolution when Xgimi’s latest portable does 1,600 ISO lumens for $799, but Samsung’s can correct for distortions on uneven projection surfaces like curtains.

    It’s Ayaneo’s turn to resurrect and upgrade the Game Boy Advance.

    Following the release of Anbernic’s RG34XX handheld last December, Ayaneo has revealed its own updated take on Nintendo’s Game Boy Advance. The company didn’t share any specs for its upcoming Konkr Pocket Advance, but like Anbernic’s it will include four action buttons and potentially rely on emulation instead of a cartridge slot.
