Sometimes you need a keyboard, and you need it now. That was where I found myself a couple months ago during local AI testing with one of the Nvidia GB10 boxes on my bench. Those systems are incredibly picky about which wired keyboards they’ll work with for some reason, and moving the one known-good board I have on hand between systems under test was becoming a massive headache.

The Olight imini 2 is a keychain-sized rechargeable flashlight currently selling for $11.99, which represents a 40% discount from its previous price. This device measures just 2.17 x 0.59 inches and weighs only 0.69 ounces, making it small enough to fit in the palm of a hand or attach to a keychain. Its aluminum alloy body can withstand drops from up to five feet, and its IPX6 rating protects it against water splashes and rain.

Nvidia’s RTX 5090 graphics card is now priced near $7,000, making it difficult to build a custom PC without going over budget. Alienware offers a pre-built gaming computer featuring this GPU and an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor for $7,499. This specific configuration includes 32GB of DDR5 RAM, a 2TB SSD, a 1500W power supply, Wi-Fi 7, and liquid cooling. According to the article, this total cost is less than buying the RTX 5090 and the $690 AMD CPU separately, presenting better value than building the system yourself.

Nintendo Switch 2 owners can now upgrade their storage using two specific deals from Walmart’s onn brand. The 256GB microSD Express card is priced at $49.50, while the larger 512GB version costs $84.77. These are currently the lowest prices available for these models in the market. Although a 128GB card might suffice temporarily, experts suggest the 256GB option offers the best balance of capacity and cost.

Researchers from the Swarmchasers group report that a fleet of AI agents, likely using Tencent’s Hy models, has been scraping data from Alibaba’s Amap mapping service for over a week. The operation ran on Tencent Cloud behind a proxy named hysandbox-ats and reached a peak of 1,810 URL query scans on October 4 alone. While some scans were labeled "claude," referencing Anthropic’s models, the code analyzed by the researchers matched Chinese models rather than Claude.

The Fanttik T1 Max soldering iron kit is currently available at a record-low price of $52.99, down from its usual cost of $79.99. This sale represents a 34% discount compared to the standard price. The kit includes everything necessary for beginners to start soldering, such as a C210 type tip and various tips included in the base of the stand for both precision and larger jobs. It also features a spot for a damp sponge to help clean leftover solder from the iron’s tip.

An international team of physicists has developed a new method to determine the precise color of laser light using a single rotating image. Led by Professor Sonja Franke-Arnold at the University of Glasgow, the researchers published their findings in the journal Optica. Their approach involves passing two types of laser beams through a gas of rubidium atoms held in a glass cell. One beam is a standard laser with uniform polarization, while the second uses structured light known as a vector beam, which has a ring-shaped intensity profile and changing polarization around the ring.

Researchers have discovered that the spacing between atoms in certain alloys predicts magnetic states more accurately than the traditional electron-per-atom ratio. While scientists often use the number of electrons to classify magnetic properties in materials like Heusler alloys, this method has limitations when applied to complex quasicrystal-based compounds known as Tsai-type approximant crystals. These structures contain rare-earth elements arranged in specific geometric patterns within clusters.
