FunnyPlaying's FPGB Mini plays Game Boy cartridges at a fraction of Analogue Pocket's price

Chinese hardware maker FunnyPlaying has announced the FPGB Mini, a compact handheld that supports original Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges as well as ROMs. The device is notably smaller than rivals, with a width only slightly greater than a standard Game Boy cartridge. While it lacks the broader cartridge compatibility of the Analogue Pocket, which also supports GBA and Sega Game Gear titles, its price is a major differentiator. The FPGB Mini is currently on sale for $69, down from $89.99, compared to the Analogue Pocket's recently hiked price of $239.99.

Iran, China and Israel Deploy AI Agents in Novel Influence Campaigns

Iran, China, and Israeli firms have launched what researchers describe as the first-of-their-kind autonomous AI-driven influence campaigns. The operations combined Chinese open-source AI models with AI agents to conduct online manipulation at scale. These campaigns mark a significant evolution in state-linked and commercial influence operations, moving beyond manual content creation. Experts warn the tactics foreshadow a new era of harder-to-detect digital propaganda and disinformation efforts.

New Technology Aims to Provide Earlier Warnings for Deadly Flash Floods

Flash floods can develop within hours, often catching residents off guard before official warnings are issued. On June 9th, Laura Lin of Lanesville, Indiana, narrowly escaped with her family after more than 8 inches of rain fell in just a few hours, flooding her property with little notice. Her experience highlights the dangerous gap between when flooding begins and when people receive alerts. Researchers are now developing new technology designed to detect flash flood conditions earlier and give communities more time to respond. The innovation could prove critical in rural and low-lying areas that are especially vulnerable to sudden, severe flooding.

Hollywood Films Increasingly Portray Silicon Valley Founders in a Critical Light

A new wave of Hollywood films, including 'The Social Reckoning', is reflecting widespread public disillusionment with Big Tech founders and Silicon Valley culture. These productions signal a growing willingness in the entertainment industry to scrutinize the power and influence of technology companies. However, a significant tension exists in this trend, as many major studios and streaming platforms are now owned or influenced by the very tech giants being depicted critically. This raises questions about how freely filmmakers can tell unflattering stories about Silicon Valley when their financiers may have vested interests in the sector. The dynamic highlights a broader conflict between creative independence and corporate ownership in modern Hollywood.

Waymo Plans Robotaxi Launch in Singapore by 2028

Alphabet-owned Waymo has announced plans to expand its autonomous ride-hailing service to Singapore, marking its next major international market. The company says its vehicles will begin arriving in Singapore within the coming months to start mapping the city. Human-supervised autonomous testing is expected to follow in 2027, ahead of a targeted fully driverless public service launch in 2028. Before carrying passengers, Waymo must obtain approval from Singapore's Land Transport Authority, which requires all autonomous vehicles to pass a formal safety assessment.

Mazama Energy raises $135M to develop superhot rock geothermal power

Geothermal startup Mazama Energy has secured $135 million in funding, backed by prominent venture firm Khosla Ventures. The company is pursuing an ambitious approach to geothermal energy by drilling approximately three miles beneath the Earth's surface to reach superhot rock formations. A single well using this technology has the potential to generate 15 megawatts of electricity on a continuous, round-the-clock basis. The funding will support Mazama's efforts to scale this deep-drilling method as demand grows for reliable, clean baseload energy sources.

Robot Training Simulations Grow More Advanced and Realistic

Developers are building increasingly sophisticated virtual environments to train robots for real-world navigation. These simulated worlds allow robots to learn complex tasks and movements before being deployed in physical settings. The approach helps reduce the cost and risk associated with training robots directly in real environments. As the technology matures, robots trained in virtual spaces are becoming better equipped to handle the unpredictability of the real world.
