Is this the future of social media or just another piece of digital junk? Let’s dive into this surreal mess and see if it inspires us or forces us to fast-forward in search of a piece of reality.

Almost a decade on the scene and still a gentleman in the front row. The Volvo XC90 Recharge T8 is facelifted, electrified and clearly in top form: quiet, fast and above all – calmly confident. After 1,250 km with it, I can say: I felt like a real gentleman.
Oris has unveiled the Oris x Bamford ProPilot Altimeter 'Mission Control', a collaboration with Bamford Watch Department, at Geneva Watch Days.

Every year, Hisense releases a new version of its flagship TV – the U8 series (55U8Q). In 2025, the TV got more brightness, a higher refresh rate and some small but important improvements. Is this enough to replace last year's version? Let's see!
Imagine a tiny house that beckons you with two round windows that look like eyes. This is not a fairy tale, but a reality created in Brittany in 2024 by the company Tiny Binocles. Behind the playful facade lies thoughtful architecture, natural materials and a philosophy of minimalist living. Is this a home or an art installation? Maybe both.
YouTube Music is experimenting with AI DJs, promising an "enriched" music experience with interstitial commentary and trivia. But users are far from enthusiastic — complaints are rife online that no one asked for a digital chatterbox to interrupt a perfect playlist. Is this the future of music streaming, or just another Google idea that will end up in oblivion?
The new Raspberry Pi 500+ is an all-in-one mini computer that brings a mechanical keyboard with RGB lighting, 16 GB of RAM, and a built-in SSD. Price? Around $200
At first glance, you might think that the Urbanoid Booba is just another futuristic robot vacuum cleaner. Its lines, rounded shell, and compact appearance really do remind you of a device from a smart home catalog. But Booba is actually nothing of the sort – it's a travel trailer that Urbanoid describes as the smallest and one of the lightest in the world.
Picture this: the narrow roads of the Czech Republic, the sun setting, and you're sitting behind the wheel of an elegant coupe that combines the charm of the 1970s with the technology of the future. The Škoda 110 R Concept is just that – a digital masterpiece that revives the legendary name, but instead of the rumble of a four-cylinder from the past, it offers the quiet power of electricity. But before you get too excited, let me warn you: this car only exists on screens. A shame, right?
Imagine a bike that looks like it just rolled out of Francesco Bagnaia's MotoGP pits, but with a license plate and turn signals. That's the 2026 Ducati Panigale V4 R - a machine that combines raw power, racing technology and just enough road-going refinement to keep you from being pulled over by the police at the first intersection. With aerodynamic sidepods, a gearbox that Pecco himself would approve of, and 235 horsepower waiting at your command, this bike doesn't just promise - it threatens.
With the Atelier Marine M1A, Timex proves that it is no longer just an affordable watch brand, but a serious player in the world of dive watches. With an enamel dial, Swiss movement, and sophisticated design for under a thousand dollars, this watch is a game changer in the affordable luxury category.
Imagine a Jeep imbued with electric magic and enclosed in a spaceship-like cabin. That’s the Vanderhall Brawley GTS—the creation of the only Utah-based automotive company known for its sleek three-wheelers, now taking to the wilderness with 404 electric horsepower. If you think this is just another UTV, think again.
