Gecco’s silly statue may be riding on the coattails of the Silent Hill 2 remake, but we think it can stand on its own. This functional collectible depicts the game’s famous joke ending, where it’s revealed that a cute and cheerful Shiba Inu was orchestrating the horrors all along. The console doubles as a coin bank, and the dog can be displayed separately.

The Motorola ThinkPhone 25 has an impact- and temperature-resistant Aramid case and is rated IP68 for water- and dust-resistance. It also has robust software security features such as a built-in malware detector. It’s positioned mainly for enterprise deployment, but we hope more phones become tough enough to be used without a case or skin.

Time to hit up your favorite Japanese import site. Exclusive to Casio Japan, the unceremoniously named DQD-851J-8JF is a bedside alarm clock that looks like the company’s famous A158WA digital watch from the late ’80s. It has a radio function to keep its time in sync (though the clock can work without the feature). It also has a thermometer and hygrometer.

We love the look of those wood tables that incorporate epoxy to create a river effect. Burls Art thought it would be cool to try filling those gaps with copper instead of resin. As you’ll see from the video, it’s not as simple as pouring molten copper into the wood. The heat would set it on fire. Instead, he had to create molds from the wood and then cast copper in those.

In the latest installment of Awesome Reminders That Time Has Passed, we have this sweet double vinyl record bundle of the music from the original Transformers animated series. Exclusive to Amazon, the bundle features art by Matt Ferguson, two previously unreleased tracks, and a remix of the theme song. It also comes with a 12″ x 12″ card print of the cover art.

The original Apple Macintosh arrived before web browsers existed. That didn’t stop Hunter Irving from teaching the old Mac some new tricks. After picking up a 1986 Macintosh Plus, he helped create MacProxy Plus, an open-source app that lets vintage Macs browse the modern web. The clean black-and-white UI is a pleasantly minimalist way to surf the web.

The second season of the Apple TV+ science fiction series Silo picks up with Juliette’s shocking discovery. As she attempts to survive outside of the Silo, a revolution is brewing at home. If it sticks to the storyline of Hugh Howey’s Wool trilogy, we expect more big secrets and lies to be uncovered and an essential new character’s big debut. Premieres 11.15.24.

Building construction often requires the assembly of scaffolding. Depending on the height and complexity of the installation, scaffolding work can be one of the most dangerous and awe-inspiring jobs. Ajit Pyrrhic posted this reel showcasing some of the men and women who spend their workdays climbing and hanging in precarious positions.

Add a splash of ambient light and color to your campsite or backyard with this waterproof string lighting from Nite Ize. It has a light source at one end and a 10-foot-long fiber-optic strand, along with ties for stringing up the light. Its rechargeable battery lasts for up to six hours per charge. Comes in blue, white, and lime green.

The SolidPixels Tetra is a desktop gadget that can display colorful animated images and data on a 64×32 RGB LED grid. It connects via wi-fi to update real-time information like stocks, news, sports scores, weather, and more. It works with a companion mobile app to select and configure its apps. Launches 10.15.24 on Kickstarter with three sizes available.

Recently, Red Side created an animation comparing the speeds of vehicles and other fast-moving objects. This new video switches up the perspective, letting us see how quickly they move from a first- or third-person view. While we love to go fast, a lazy cruise in that Apollo lunar rover looks like a nice way to spend the day.

Keep your bathroom and shower organized with the grippy Groomy organizer. Its storage features include holders for a razor and toothbrush, a cup for toothpaste or a tube of shaving cream, and hangers at its bottom for a washcloth or sponge. The Groomy sticks onto smooth surfaces like tile, marble, or glass and has built-in drainage holes.

It’s amazing that anyone can use an inexpensive 3D printer to generate physical objects on their desktop. Jared Owen uses his 3D animation talents to show precisely how these machines work. Rather than carve away materials, 3D printers use additive manufacturing to build up objects layer by layer. The focus of the video is a BambuLab A1 FDM printer.

Those Laowa probe lenses capture unique macro perspectives, but they only work with standalone cameras. Sandmarc’s version is made for iPhones. The 12-inch-long lens can squeeze into tight spaces, offers a much wider depth of field than ordinary macro lenses, and has built-in LED lighting. For smooth shots, pair it with their Cinema Slider.

Alex from Maker Dad DIY created a tool cart inspired by the ones Adam Savage built but thought the design could use some upgrades. After making a sturdier cart, he built version 2.0 with drawers and bins in its sides. You can find the full build guide on Instructables, and purchase the plans on his website or Etsy.
