Camping stoves can be awkward things to pack, especially when the burner and pot supports insist on keeping their cooking shape inside your bag. Easy Cooking approaches that problem with a folding stove concept that tucks its parts into an elongated, rounded case. Developed in 2023, it proposes a smaller package for the trip without making you assemble a kitchen from loose pieces.

The closed body has a sandy beige finish, interrupted by black details and a short fabric loop at one end. Concentric slots near the opposite end echo the circular burner hidden inside, while a field of smaller perforations breaks up the broad face. It’s a restrained way to give camping equipment some character without covering it in rugged-looking armor or oversized branding.

Opening it changes the relationship between those parts. The burner extends away from the housing, and three serrated pot supports spread around it to create a cooking position wider than the packed form. Folded inward, those supports nest alongside the burner. The proposal concentrates on rearranging what a stove needs, rather than giving a conventional rectangular cooktop a handle and calling it portable.

The fuel cartridge sits lengthwise inside the open housing, keeping the supply beside the burner rather than requiring a separate fuel hose. A large rotary dial occupies the side, and an OPEN label marks a separate control on top. Those familiar physical cues suggest where to begin, although the presentation doesn’t explain the ignition system or the cartridge’s locking and release mechanisms.

That arrangement would make sense for a quick outdoor meal, when you want to put a kettle on without unpacking a boxy tabletop appliance. The enclosure serves two jobs: concealing the burner for transport and accommodating the cartridge once the stove is deployed. Its usefulness would depend on how easily those parts move, especially after grit and food residue get into the joints.

There’s a precedent for this kind of transformation. Snow Peak’s Home & Camp Burner, released in 2019, also folds its burner into an enclosure that holds a butane cartridge during use. Easy Cooking explores that packing problem with a flatter, capsule-like outline. The shared idea makes the details of deployment more interesting than any suggestion that folding a stove is entirely new.

Easy Cooking remains a concept rather than an established retail product. There’s no mention of dimensions or weight figures to demonstrate how much space it saves, and material grades aren’t specified. The folding supports leave practical questions about how a full pot would be held above the ground, particularly when stirring or lifting it could shift the load across that narrow structure.

Heat management matters as much as the folding trick. Snow Peak warns that certain cookware can radiate enough heat toward its canister to create a hazard, a reminder of what’s at stake when fuel and flame share a small footprint. Making the stove disappear for travel is appealing; keeping its fuel from overheating once a pan goes on top demands more care.

Cordless table lamps let you move the whole fixture, but sometimes you only need to take the light. Studio Apure’s NOX makes that distinction with a magnetic head that lifts away from its stand and becomes a small flashlight. The stand can stay beside your chair while its illuminated tip follows you down a dark hallway, without carrying the base along for company.

The shape gives that arrangement a surprisingly tidy home. A slender upright rises from a flat circular foot, with a shorter cylinder attached near the top. There’s no broad shade or long articulated arm competing for space above a bedside table. Onyx Black, Nimbus Grey, and Dune Beige keep the finish choices subdued, letting the changing angle of the head supply most of the character.

That head rotates through 360 degrees, so you can redirect the beam without shifting everything else on the table. An adjustable lens changes its spread from a broad glow to a concentrated spot. You might keep the light wide during dinner, then narrow it toward a book afterward, giving the same small fixture two different jobs without changing where the stand sits.

Brightness gets its own adjustment, separate from the beam’s width. Tap the top of the head to switch the LED on or off, and hold to dim it between 5% and 100%. Its 140-lumen output has a warm 3000K color temperature. The touch control stays with the detachable head, so it remains accessible when you’re carrying the light without its supporting stand.

Taking it off the stand changes the scale of what you’re carrying. You can check behind a sofa or retrieve something from a dark closet without balancing an entire lamp in one hand. Return the head to its magnetic attachment, and its battery recharges from the stand. That gives the removable part a parking spot, which is useful for something so small.

Studio Apure estimates 12 to 14 hours of cordless operation for the complete lamp and up to an hour for the detached flashlight, both at full brightness. Recharging the lamp takes about seven hours using the supplied dock and adapter. The stand is therefore the longer-lasting arrangement, while the little light you pull away is better suited to shorter trips around home.

Outdoor trips still come with a few restrictions. NOX carries an IP54 rating, but Studio Apure restricts it to indoor or covered outdoor settings and advises avoiding direct water contact. A sheltered patio table fits that brief; leaving it exposed in the garden doesn’t. Cordless operation removes the outlet from the seating arrangement, not the need to bring the lamp under cover.

Listed at $385, NOX puts a substantial price on that flexibility. Its 2.03-pound weight still lets you carry the whole lamp when you want light somewhere else, while a flashing red ring warns you when it’s time to recharge. You’ll just need to return the head to its stand, since a magnetic connection can’t recharge something you’ve abandoned in a kitchen drawer.

Smartphones turned music into just another notification competing for attention, a song interrupted by a text, an album broken up by a calendar alert. RHYTHM exists to undo that arrangement entirely, building a dedicated listening device from real audio components instead of borrowing a phone’s guts and bolting on a headphone jack. It’s a from-scratch digital audio player designed around one job: playing music properly, without a screen demanding anything else from you.

That commitment starts with what’s actually driving the sound. Rather than leaning on an all-in-one audio codec chip the way most budget players do, RHYTHM routes music through a genuine ESS SABRE DAC, the same category of chip found in dedicated hi-fi gear, paired with a discrete amplifier stage rather than a shortcut solution. An ESP32-S3 handles the file parsing and processing, but the actual sound reproduction runs through hardware built specifically for that job alone.

Designer: Mithilesh Gupta Konda

The headphone output makes the clearest case for why any of this matters. Instead of splitting one internal signal across a single jack, RHYTHM runs two completely independent, actively buffered 3.5mm outputs, each driven by its own dedicated amplifier chip. Two people can plug in two entirely different pairs of headphones, and each gets a full, uncompromised signal, no shared circuit quietly degrading whichever connection came second.

Keeping that signal clean required rethinking the power supply as much as the audio path. RHYTHM physically separates its digital logic and high-frequency switching lines from the analog circuitry that actually shapes the sound, regulating each side through its own dedicated, ultra-low-noise power regulator. It’s an unglamorous decision that never shows up in a spec sheet screenshot, but it’s exactly the kind of choice that determines whether quiet passages in a recording stay quiet.

Physical control gets the same attention. A precision mechanical rotary encoder handles navigation alongside a set of tactile buttons, giving the whole interface a hands-on quality that a touchscreen simply can’t replicate. Paired with a compact 2-inch color display, the device reads less like a shrunken phone and more like a purpose-built instrument, something meant to be operated by feel in a pocket or a bag without needing to look at it.

A microSD slot rounds out the practical side, storing lossless files locally rather than depending on a streaming connection or app ecosystem. That local-first approach extends the project’s entire philosophy: RHYTHM isn’t trying to replace a phone’s convenience. Instead, it’s opting out of that convenience on purpose, trading constant connectivity for a listening experience built around a single, uninterrupted task.

Desks are overrated. So are the cables that come with them. The 4URPC is a 15.6-inch wireless touchscreen monitor built for people who’d rather not be chained to an outlet just to get a bigger screen. It’s slim, self-powered, and ready to mirror whatever’s on your phone, tablet, or laptop the moment you need more room to work, watch, or play.

Cutting the cord doesn’t mean cutting functionality. The monitor mirrors an iPhone or Android device through a peer-to-peer wireless connection, no home Wi-Fi or app required. For streaming platforms like YouTube, Netflix, or Hulu, connecting to Wi-Fi and tapping the built-in TV Cast icon sends video to the screen. Either way, there’s no dongle to lose or cable to untangle before the movie starts.

The more interesting trick happens after mirroring starts. The 10-point touchscreen can send input back to the connected phone, turning the monitor into a larger, shared control surface. Flip through photos with a friend, walk a colleague through a presentation, or hand someone the reins without handing over your phone. It’s a shift that makes shared screen time less awkward.

None of this would matter much if the monitor were bulky. At half an inch thick and just over 2 pounds, it’s built to disappear into a backpack rather than dominate it. The matte, textured shell keeps fingerprints and glare to a minimum, and a fold-out kickstand on the back means setup takes seconds on a desk, a kitchen counter, or the arm of a couch.

A built-in 4,000 mAh battery backs up that portability by taking the wall outlet out of the equation. Setting up on a train, in a hotel room, or on a patio doesn’t mean scouting for the nearest plug first. That same battery can lend a charge to a connected phone, turning the monitor into a backup power bank when the moment calls for it.

Plug it into a laptop with a USB-C cable, and the 4URPC switches roles, becoming an extended display rather than a wireless mirror. Dragging a browser tab, a chat window, or a reference document onto the second screen takes a second, and the touchscreen works over the wired connection. The laptop stays focused on the main task while the extra display handles everything else.

The screen also rotates between landscape and portrait without any fuss, which sounds minor until it changes how you use it day to day. Landscape suits video calls, games, and spreadsheets, while portrait mode fits scrolling through documents, reading long articles, or checking social feeds. Switching between the two takes a twist of the stand, not a trip through a settings menu.

Compatibility runs wide enough that most people won’t need to think twice before connecting. Wireless mirroring covers iPhones, Android phones running version 10 or later, MacBooks, and most Windows laptops, while the wired USB-C or HDMI input works with game consoles, streaming boxes, and the Nintendo Switch. There’s no software to install and nothing to configure; connecting the device and turning it on is the entire setup process.

Under the glass sits a 1920×1080 matte IPS panel running at 60 Hz, built more for comfortable, glare-free sessions than eye-popping color numbers. Dual USB-C ports split power delivery and video duties, small stereo speakers cover casual audio, and a VESA mount plus a standard camera screw thread add mounting options beyond the built-in stand. It’s a practical set of choices rather than a flashy one.

There’s something telling about a monitor that assumes you won’t always be sitting at the same desk tomorrow. Work has scattered across kitchen tables, coffee shops, and airport gates for a while now, and screens are only starting to catch up. The 4URPC doesn’t try to be the sharpest or brightest display around; it just tries to be wherever you happen to land next.

Alors celle-là, c'est la meilleure ! Conroyy Jenkinss en avait tellement marre que sa famille lui vide la batterie de sa Steam Deck sans jamais la recharger qu'il a fini par coller des pics et un taser dessus. Oui, un taser, le mec est fou !

Il a posté son truc hier sur r/SteamDeck en racontant comment il s'y est pris. "J'en avais marre que ma famille vide toujours la batterie de ma console sans la recharger", donc il a modélisé une coque hérissée de pointes dans Blender, l'a imprimée en 3D et l'a clipsée sur la bête. Plus moyen comme ça de la tenir en main confortablement.

Vous allez me dire qu'il exagère, sauf qu'une Steam Deck n'est plus vraiment l'objet qu'on prête à la légère. Le modèle OLED 1 To est passé de 649 à 949 dollars, du jour au lendemain, à cause de la flambée du prix des composants donc à ce tarif, je comprends qu'il y tienne plus qu'à ses propres gosses ^^/

Sauf que la coque à pointes ça ne lui suffisait pas. Il a donc branché un Raspberry Pi avec un petit haut-parleur, une caméra de détection d'objets et un servomoteur, puis écrit un script Python.
