Unwrapping Holiday Gifts: Playdate — the Console That’ll Make You Smile
Sometimes, a gadget comes along that makes you think: "How does this even exist?!" That’s exactly what Playdate is — small, quirky, and completely unlike any other console out there.
🎨 The Design? It’s an art piece. Designed by Teenage Engineering, masters of minimalistic genius, this bright yellow box with a crank (yes, a crank!) feels like it came from a more fun, alternate universe. No surprise it’s already scooped up a few design awards — it’s not just a gadget, it’s a conversation starter.
🎮 The Games? A whole new vibe. Don’t expect flashy AAA noscripts here. Instead, you get stylish indie games where the crank takes center stage. In Whitewater Wipeout, you’re literally "carving waves," and in Casual Birder, you’re wandering around snapping photos like the hero of a pixel-art movie. Plus, you can load games from itch.io, so creativity has no limits.
💸 The Price? Just take my money! At $199 (or $219 with a case), this isn’t about raw specs — it’s about the joy of owning something fun, unique, and unlike anything else.
Playdate isn’t just a console; it’s a little capsule of creativity. Would you add this to your collection?

if your butt’s on fire during a CS match — or freezing cold — Razer’s got your back 🎮🔥❄️
Meet Razer Project Arielle, a concept gaming chair with heating and cooling functions. Now you can keep your back and bottom warm in winter and cool in summer thanks to its built-in ventilation system.
🔧 How it works:
Temperature is adjustable via a touch panel.
RGB lighting changes color for each mode — stylish and functional.
It’s still just a concept with no release date, but let’s be honest: when this chair drops, people might spend more time sitting in it than playing games.
What do you think — the next big thing or just another flashy Razer flex?

Kiyosaki’s Back: Crash Prediction, Episode #357
Robert Kiyosaki, author of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and a professional prophet of economic doom, is at it again! This time, he’s declared that the “biggest stock market crash in history” has officially begun.
🔥 What’s he predicting now? Kiyosaki warns of a collapse in the markets for cars, housing, restaurants, retail, and even wine. Naturally, his advice is to seek salvation in gold, silver, and Bitcoin—the same assets he’s been championing for the past decade.
📉 Reality check or just lucky timing? It’s true that the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 have dropped 1.8% and 1.1%, with crypto markets following suit. But as analysts point out, the market is cyclical. The real question is: Can someone who predicts a crash every six months really be wrong forever? After all, eventually, he’ll be right.
Kiyosaki feels like that friend at a party who keeps whispering, “This is boring, someone’s definitely going to start a fight soon.” And when, hours later, someone accidentally drops a glass, he proudly shouts, “Told you so!”
So, what do you think? Another round of “I warned you” or is the prophet finally onto something?

The show’s over: McDonald’s and other giants drop diversity metrics 🎭🚫
McDonald’s has announced it will no longer set diversity or inclusion targets for employees or suppliers. And they’re not alone: Ford, Lowe’s, John Deere, Harley Davidson, and even Microsoft have also rolled back DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) initiatives in recent months.
Why does it matter?
Companies are trying to win back traditional markets and conservative audiences. CEOs, tired of playing the “woke” game, are shifting back to old strategies. This trend comes amid pressure from activists and lawmakers who view DEI as unnecessary.
📉 Example: In July, Microsoft disbanded its DEI team entirely, citing other priorities.
❄️ A new "thaw"?
It seems the corporate world is moving away from performative equality efforts. According to WSJ, companies in various industries are ditching these principles to avoid backlash and stay market-relevant.
What’s your take: a step backward or just business as usual?

Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6: a laptop that grows with your dreams
Some gadgets feel like they’ve escaped straight from a sci-fi movie. ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 is one of those rare concepts that’s now a reality. Press a button, and the screen starts rising upward, almost like it’s alive. The motors hum, the display stretches, and I can’t help but grin like a kid.

Flexible OLED display: what looks like a regular 14-inch screen transforms into 16.7 inches of workspace bliss. Perfect for spreadsheets, coding, or stacking two windows vertically.
Foldable mechanism: the screen “folds” back into the chassis, saving space and battery life.
💻 The hardware? Top-notch:
Intel Core Ultra 7, 32GB RAM, and 1TB SSD.
Sure, it’s light on ports, but who needs USB-A when your laptop grows?!
💰 The price of magic: starting at $3499. It’ll hit the shelves in Q1 2025, so get your wallets ready.
This isn’t just a laptop — it’s a portal to the future, where boring office tech becomes pure magic. Imagine it on your desk. Would you want one?

Swippitt’s Charging "Toaster" for Smartphones: Cool Idea, Not Quite Perfect 🔋📱
On paper, it sounds amazing: pop your phone into the slot, wait two seconds, and voilà — fully charged and ready to go ⚡. The gadget houses five internal batteries, always ready to keep you powered up, making it a dream for busy people on the move 🚶.
But here’s the catch: you’ll need to use a massive case with a bulky slot for the Power Bank 😬. It turns your sleek smartphone into a brick with a “chin,” killing its aesthetic. Sure, charging is lightning-fast ⚡, but carrying the phone becomes a chore.
Still, for anyone already juggling a Power Bank, this trade-off might not seem so bad 🤔. Swippitt’s idea isn’t perfect yet, but it’s a promising start! 🚀
