Somebody actually had the audacity to make a selfie stick for your MacBook

Add as a preferred source on Google

It’s official: The world has lost its mind. Despite all our efforts to stop it from happening, the selfie stick for MacBook now exists. Seriously.

Capitalizing upon our obsession with … ourselves, the same team that brought you the real-life Netflix and Chill Room has now outdone itself, creating a selfie stick capable of supporting a full-size MacBook. It’s being branded as an “art project” by the Moises, John Yuyi and Tom Galle team, who have created a whole website dedicated to their invention. And to be honest, seeing the expressions of those around the absurd device really does make the whole project worth it.

I mean, if you think really, really hard about it, you probably could come up with quite a few use cases for the MacBook selfie stick. Every once in awhile, the field of vision provided by an iPhone FaceTime just doesn’t cut it, so you’ve gotta bring out the big guns to really show off your surroundings. Or, maybe your phone has just broken, and the only alternative you have is to carry around a laptop … attached to a stick.

And if nothing else, it seems like a really great arm workout, you know? Who needs a gym when you can do bicep curls with your MacBook.

Of course, we laugh now, but we could soon be forced to eat our words if society really does find a good way to put these sticks to use. Because really, did anyone actually expect the selfie stick itself to take off the way it did?

So consider investing in this idea early, kids. Or better still, just make one of your own, and just maybe (like a strong, strong maybe), you’ll have tapped into the next million-dollar idea.

The FCC’s latest crackdown could put more than DJI drones at risk in the US
Robot, Person, Face

DJI may have found creative ways to keep some of its products flowing into the US, but those efforts are now drawing increased attention from regulators. According to The Verge, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has started cracking down on several companies it believes could be helping DJI continue selling products in the country. These businesses have been described by industry observers as "DJI front companies" because they market or import products that appear to be closely tied to the Chinese drone maker while operating under different brand names.

DJI's alleged back door may be closing

I bought Kodak’s viral keychain camera, and the bad photos are part of its charm
The Kodak Charmera is barely a camera, and I still keep using it
Machine, Wheel, Camera

I bought the Kodak Charmera partly because I wanted a portable digital camera, and partly because I wanted a pretty little collectible. The Charmera is sold as a blind box, so you do not know which version you are getting until the box is opened. There are multiple retro Kodak-style designs, plus a transparent secret edition that looks like the one everyone would want.

I had the shopkeeper pick my box for better luck, and it worked out. I got the yellow variant, which is inspired by Kodak's original 80s disposable camera. The transparent one is definitely the fun collector’s piece, but the yellow model feels like the proper Kodak version. It looks like a tiny toy camera that escaped from a souvenir shop, found a keyring, and now hangs around wherever you go.
