Fender Rockster Cross ZDNET's key takeaways The Fender x Teufel Rockster Cross speaker is available now on Amazon for $250 (currently $200). With massive sound and an immersive option to punch up the highs and lows, this speaker is a brilliant option for those who love it loud. The Rockster Cross immersive option might be a bit harsh for some listeners. $179.99 at Amazon Bluetooth speakers are a dime a dozen.

Authorities described the milestone as exceptional and credited long-term planning, targeted infrastructure changes, and lower speed limits.

Scientists are sending several strains of disease-causing bacteria to the International Space Station as part of the Crew-11 mission. This experiment isn't the plot to some cheesy horror film, but a scientific investigation from the Sheba Medical Center in Israel and the US-based company Space Tango with the goal of better understanding how bacteria spread and behave under extreme conditions.

This dock transforms the Mac mini into a retro classic Mac

9to5mac.com Fernando Silva 2025-12-16 12:00:00

It’s becoming increasingly rare to find a tech accessory in 2025 that’s both functional and fun to use. As so many of these accessories become more commoditized, they begin to function and look the same, making them fade into the background. So when I saw the Wokyis Retro Docking Station for the M4 Mac mini, I was immediately intrigued. It transforms the Mac mini into something straight out of 1984. On paper, it had all the functions I needed out of a dock, but it was also such a cool-looking pr

Tom Holland Just Gave Us a Proper Look at the ‘Brand New Day’ Spider Suit

Friday was Spider-Man Day (maybe), and to mark the occasion, Sony teased the hero’s new suit for his next movie, Brand New Day. Now, Tom Holland’s gone and shown the full thing. Most of it, at least. On his Instagram, the actor released a video this morning of him walking into a room, stepping into the light to display the new costume in its full glory as a new version of Michael Giacchinno’s Spider-Man theme plays. “We ready?” he asks to someone offscreen, before going off to shoot the movie.
