Today I learned about comparesffpc.com, which effortlessly lets you compare small-form-factor cases on a virtual 3D desk, in your browser, using this impressive public dataset. It isn’t the only comparo tool, but it’s the cleanest and easiest I’ve used yet. (I’m thinking about swapping my Ncase, any desk-friendly recommends?)
Bambu now sells electronics to drop into your creations — remember my floating light bulb and TARDIS? This time, I’m using the $135 “Motion-Activated Sound and Light Props Kit” with Joel He’s double-bladed saber files, but you can design anything you like. Should I try a Zelda Master Sword next?
Did you know it’s generally illegal to fly drones farther than you can see with your naked eye? That may be about to change — but the 731-page proposed rule doesn’t seem like blanket deregulation. Looks like it’ll cut red tape for drone delivery and automated inspection, but humans will still need to be in charge, it’ll require permits, and the more populated an area you want to fly over, the stricter the requirements.
Two credit agencies have downgraded Intel’s credit rating to “BBB,” two notches above junk status. (Once companies reach “BB,” they’re no longer considered “safe” investments.) One noted Intel needs “stronger end markets and successful product ramps” to recover.
But Intel appears to be losing market share to AMD, and a new Reuters report suggests it’s struggling to get its 18A process ready for next-gen Panther Lake. (Intel says it’s confident in Panther Lake, though.)
Meanwhile, Intel is shedding more employees and halting investments where it doesn’t have ready customers.
AMD just reported its Q2 2025 earnings, and it’s attributing a new quarterly revenue record of $7.7 billion to one particular thing: “record server and PC processor sales.” And while AMD doesn’t mention its flagging competitor Intel, it seems many are turning to Team Red: AMD just crossed 40 percent market share for the first time on the Steam Hardware Survey of PC gamers, and it may have 40 percent server market share soon too.
Bambu’s 3D printers started on Kickstarter; now, the company’s own MakerWorld Crowdfunding has 11 different 3D prints you can back, including DIY pinball tables, steampunk disc blasters, and this epic board game. Be warned you’re paying for the promise of 3D files, not final products. And you can’t just submit your own designs yet; that’s invitation only for now.
