This entry is a summary of what I built for my dad's 50th birthday, in 2017. The plan was to get a vintage TV to play some shows from the 70s-80s, and operation should be seamless. The sacrificial lamb, found in the flea market: The tiny sticker says "It works" With the lid off The tuner The attack plan: Getting the raspberry pi to output video to the TV Because the raspberry only outputs composite video, I needed a 'composite RF modulator' that'd convert the signal to a format that this

We’ve Seen ‘Primate,’ the First Big Horror Movie of 2026

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-09-21 03:00:29

We’ve seen into the future. Each January, Hollywood provides a few horror movies to kick off the new year and, in 2026, one of those movies is Primate. It’s a down-and-dirty, sub-90-minute horror movie about a killer chimpanzee starring Oscar winner Troy Kotsur, which just had its world premiere at Fantastic Fest 2025. And, we think, slotting it in early January is perfect because the film meets, but doesn’t quite exceed, expectations. Directed by Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down, Resident Evil

Nvidia Wants in on the Robotaxi Race

Nvidia is in talks to invest $500 million in the London-based self-driving car startup Wayve Technologies. Nvidia’s interest comes as the sci-fi dream of driverless cars inches closer to reality. Alphabet’s Waymo robotaxis already roam several U.S. cities, Tesla is testing its own service in Austin, and Amazon’s Zoox taxis—which have no steering wheels or pedals—just started offering rides in Las Vegas this month.

Ouch. Two flying cars collided with each other during an airshow rehearsal in Changchun, a city in northeastern China. Videos on social media show emergency response vehicles at the scene as a big plume of dark smoke billows from one of the wrecks. Fortunately, it doesn't sound like anybody involved in the crash between the two electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles, developed by the Xpeng AeroHT subsidiary of EV giant Xpeng, was seriously hurt.

The US Securities and Exchange Comission (SEC) has dropped its fraud case against Nikola‘s founder and former CEO Trevor Milton, after Trump’s pardon six months ago. Trevor Milton, who had been convicted of securities fraud, received a pardon from the US President Donald Trump in March, a month after the Phoenix-based electric and hydrogen truck maker Nikola filed for bankrupcy.

Trump’s Golden Dome Projected to Cost Exponentially More Than the Manhattan Project

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-09-21 06:35:27

Donald Trump has many grand plans for America, one of the more ambitious of which is to create a giant invisible space shield that theoretically protects the country from rockets. In January, Trump announced, via executive order, the creation of a “Golden Dome,” designed to protect Americans from the “threat of attack by ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, and other advanced aerial attacks.” The project, Trump said, would use a network of satellites to detect and repel aerial attacks on

Google figured out early on that video would be a great addition to its search business, so in 2005 it launched Google Video. Focused on making deals with the entertainment industry for second-rate content, and overly cautious on what users could upload, it flopped. Meanwhile, a tiny startup run by a handful of employees working above a San Mateo, California, pizzeria was exploding, simply by letting anyone upload their goofy videos and not worrying too much about who held copyrights to the clip

Apple CEO Tim Cook says iPhone price hikes are not tied to tariffs

The new iPhone 17 Pro aluminum body may be more prone to scuffs and scratches

It’s iPhone 17 release day, and that means the internet is ready to start the next drama about the redesigned phones. One early concern is about the superficial durability of the iPhone 17 Pro aluminum chassis, especially on the darker color Deep Blue model. If this worries you, it’s a good time to buy a case. Because anodized aluminum still has the raw silver metal color underneath, any light nicks or scratches are much more visible to the eye, compared to similar wear and tear to the iPhone 1
