Let's face it, nostalgia is a drug. And no one sells it better than Fujifilm. Just when I thought we had reached the peak of hipster absurdity with $500 cassette players, the Japanese said, "Hold my beer." They introduced a camera that looks like a 1960s gun, records video like a digital camera, and then prints it out. Yes, you read that right. It prints video. If that's not the definition of technological hedonism, then I don't know what is. But you know what? I fucking love it.

Jan Macarol is the responsible editor of the printed and online editions of City Magazine Slovenia. Together with his two assistants, he strives to offer readers the most unique and fresh information about urban culture, technological innovations, fashion and everything an urban nomad needs to survive in a fast-paced world.
If you've been watching the news lately and gotten the feeling that the world is going to hell, you're not alone. But instead of digging a hole in your garden and stockpiling cans of beans, Ferris Rezvani is offering something a little more... proactive. It's the new 2026 Rezvani Tank. A vehicle that screams "get out of the way" even when parked in front of the opera house.
Xiaomi has launched the Mijia Washing Machine Pro, a 12kg capacity monster that uses super electrolysis to destroy stains and connects to HyperOS. It's not just a washing machine, it's a technological statement.
At CES 2026, Satechi introduced something that is becoming a refreshing anomaly in the tech world: aesthetically pleasing aluminum devices where changing the battery doesn't require an engineering degree or a trip to the service center.
Samsung is raising the bar again. Not with flashy revolutions, but with a quiet but deadly effective evolution. The Samsung Galaxy S26 series, which will see the light of day in late February, promises a return to what really matters in a smartphone: a premium user experience wrapped in a body that is a pleasure to hold in your hand.
Klipsch is back in the game. After years of silence, when we thought headphones had been left to the soulless tech giants, they dropped a bombshell at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. The new Klipsch Atlas series brings three models that promise to finally let your ears hear music the way it was recorded – with balls, detail, and that signature American arrogance that we love so much about Klipsch.
Let's face it. Nobody—and I mean nobody, except maybe those weirdos who enjoy ironing shirts on Sunday nights—loves housework. Doing laundry is a 21st-century Sisyphean task; you're barely done before the basket is full again. And don't even get me started on the dishes. But LG says that's the end of that. It's called CLOiD, and it's probably the first thing on four wheels in a long time that's excited me more than the new Porsche 911. Why? Because you can't send a Porsche into the kitchen to make you a sandwich, and the LG CLOiD apparently can.
Speakers tend to be boring. They're black boxes that we try to hide behind potted plants or shove on a shelf where they collect dust. And then there's Harman Kardon. In 2000, they created the iconic SoundSticks with Jony Ive, which found a place in the MoMA museum. Now, a quarter of a century later, the fifth generation is upon us. The Harman Kardon SoundSticks 5 are no longer just "computer speakers." With an HDMI ARC input and a serious audio upgrade, they've become a legitimate (and much sexier) alternative to your soundbar.
If you follow the automotive industry, you know that solid-state batteries have been a holy grail for a decade. Toyota has been promising them "next year" since 2015. Volkswagen has been pouring billions into QuantumScape and showing us beautifully designed PowerPoint presentations. We've all been waiting for a technological messiah to solve the range and fire safety problems. And while the giants were meeting, the guys from cold Finland - Verge Motorcycles - simply did their homework. No fanfare, no empty promises, just pure engineering "sissy" approach. And the result? A motorcycle - the Verge TS Pro, which you can actually buy. Now.
Gaming on the go has long been a compromise. You've either been staring at a tiny screen that required an eye doctor, or you've been lugging around a laptop that weighs as much as a sack of cement. ASUS and Xreal have just said, "Enough!" and offered us a third way. A way that makes you look like a cyborg but feel like a king. They are - ASUS ROG Xreal R1.
The year is 2026. While DARS and government buildings are still sweating with excitement over the drawing of a third lane on the Styrian motorway and dreaming of hectoliters of new asphalt on the same route, which has already been dug up a hundred times, I have the unpleasant feeling that I am watching a repeat of a very bad historical drama. This national enthusiasm of ours for the expansion of the motorway at a time when technology is redefining the very essence of movement is exactly as if in 2007, just a day after Steve Jobs showed the world the first iPhone, the Nokia board of directors had called a crisis meeting, at which they would have decided with all seriousness and strategic enthusiasm how to squeeze two additional keys onto the physical keyboard for faster typing. A completely missed point that will serve as an example of expensive myopia in economics textbooks. The third lane of the motorway is a way back in time. Let me explain why!
History will judge us by one simple fact: were we the last generation to die of stupidity, or the first to cheat death? Science is finally "hacking" aging. And not with cannabis ointments or meditation on Šmarna gora, but with the brute power of artificial intelligence, genetic scissors and - you won't believe it - crypto financing. Will artificial intelligence defeat death?!
