On May 20, 2026, Amazon cut off Kindle Store access for Kindle e-readers and Kindle Fire devices released in 2012 or earlier. Amazon told The Verge that affected devices would no longer be able to "purchase, borrow, or download new content" from the Kindle Store, though owners can still read books already downloaded to the device.

Short answer: This works only on disc-based PS5 consoles running firmware 3.xx or 4.xx, by booting Ubuntu through an exploit published today. If your console doesn't match those two conditions, nothing in this guide applies to you yet.

When you hear about someone successfully upgrading a MacBook's storage, your first thought might be "that's not so hard—just swap out an SSD, right?"

The Nintendo Switch is a fantastic portable gaming console, but sometimes you want a bigger screen without being tethered to your TV. What if I told you that your iPad could serve as that perfect middle-ground display? With a simple USB-C setup and the right capture adapter, you can transform your tablet into a portable gaming monitor that's larger than the Switch's built-in screen but more flexible than your living room setup.

Firmware analysis published last week reveals that the Flipper One hacking tool is a pocketable Debian Linux workstation aimed at security professionals and network engineers a fundamentally different product category from the radio gadget that made Flipper famous. That distinction matters because the audience, the use cases, and the commercial risks are all different. So is the likelihood it ever ships.

The world of retro computing has always fascinated tech enthusiasts, but what happens when you take that nostalgia and squeeze it into something impossibly small? DIY makers across communities like Reddit's r/RetroBattlestations and Hackaday have been pushing the boundaries of miniaturization, with projects transforming everything from mint tins to alarm clock chassis into fully functional classic Mac emulators. This isn't just another novelty build – it's a masterclass in creative engineering...

Let's face it – Ryobi makes solid tools, but sometimes you need that one specific accessory that doesn't exist in their catalog. That's where the magic of 3D printing comes in. The DIY community has created some incredibly clever solutions that'll make you wonder why these weren't included from the factory.

The M1 MacBook Air has always been Apple's entry point into their laptop ecosystem, but one limitation has consistently frustrated users: the soldered storage that can't be upgraded after purchase. However, a recent breakthrough in DIY modification has opened up possibilities that seemed impossible just months ago, challenging our assumptions about what's truly "non-upgradeable" in modern Apple hardware.

You know how we're drowning in disposable tech? Well, some New York-based makers just found a surprisingly musical solution to one of our fastest-growing e-waste problems. Kari Love and David Rios from New York University, working alongside Shuang Cai from Cornell University, have created something called the "Vape Synth"—taking dead Elf Bar vapes and converting them into breath-controlled synthesizers (according to The Cool Down).

Let's face it – nobody enjoys that moment when your phone screen cracks or your battery starts draining faster than your patience. But here's the thing: you don't have to fork over $100+ to some repair shop every time your device throws a tantrum. With Black Friday rolling around, there's never been a better opportunity to build your own arsenal of professional-grade repair tools.

Spoiler: it's not all bad news, but if you were counting on using your favorite travel dock or AR glasses with the Switch 2, you're about to be disappointed. Nintendo pulled a classic Nintendo move—they've essentially encrypted their way out of universal compatibility.

Back in the '80s, I was just a kid with a LEGO hobby. I remember building castles and floating boats, spaceships and monster trucks, even a working LEGO train powered by battery, lights and all.

In the 1940's (1946/1947) Popular Science magazine printed a DIY diagram of a high impedance microphone using an old battery carbon core and a headphone to listen (rather than speakers). It used a simple wood base and was very sensitive; you could hear a cock-a-roach walking on the wood or a fly's buzz if it landed on the base. ANYONE WHO MIGHT HAVE A COLLECTION OF THESE MAGAZINES AND CAN PROVIDE A COPY OF THE DIAGRAM WOULD GREATLY HELP ME WITH MY PROJECT.

So I ripped a microphone and controller out of a pair of Skull Candy inkd's, and I want to fit the mic to a transmitter inside a wide bodied pen. The pen doesn't have to work (the ink cartridge bust anyway), but I have no idea about how to power the mic. Any ideas?
