A YouTuber has gutted all the consoles to create the definitive machine: the Ningtendo PXBOX 5

by

Although the PC is the almost perfect cross-platform machineuntil not so long ago, if you wanted to enjoy all the video games you had to have a PS5a Switch 2 and one Xbox Series. The problem, apart from many others, is space: they take up an awful lot and They are not the most “aesthetic” machines.. A Chinese YouTuber has the solution: the Ningtendo PXBOX 5. It is the perfect fusion between the three, and the secret of how it works is in a 2013 Mac. As Jack the Ripper said. Let’s go in parts. We have seen many projects that change the functionality of a console or even turn a PC into a coffee makerbut what the YouTuber has proposed is much more ambitious. To address the space problem, it has united the three consoles into a single tower that, on top of that, is no more bulky than a small PC case. And the first thing is to gut the machines. Image | 小宁子 XNZ At this point, the YouTuber realized the most important thing: without the case, the key parts of the three machines are the fan, the power supply, the aluminum and copper heatsink… and the board, obviously. All components are soldered on the board, so you don’t have to worry about GPU, CPU or RAM memory. Switch 2 is on the sidelines for the moment. For PS5 and Xbox Series X, the essential thing is each one’s board and the rest can be shared. A single supply for both, a single heatsink and a single fan. But… how? The key? Apple. Well, precisely, one of Apple’s most famous computers has the answer. The Mac Pro ‘Trash’ is the 2013 model that has gone down in history for being a complete disaster. I still find its design beautiful, but Apple went overboard with a triple PCB and dual GPU configuration. Precisely, it is the idea he has in his head, so it comes in handy. Inspiration in the Apple heatsink Because? Because Apple designed a double PCB system on a central aluminum heatsink. This way, you can inject fresh air through the heatsink, expelling heat through the top and keeping the plates cool. The question now is how to make an aluminum heatsink that cannot be bought on the market and that would not be viable to print directly on metal (due to costs). Ancient 3D printing technique. Inspired by a wax casting technique from hundreds of years ago, the YouTuber created a heatsink model on a 3D printer. To do this, he used a material called PLA that vaporizes when it reaches a certain temperature. With the PLA “sink” in hand, he wrapped it in plaster and burned it in a 700-degree oven. The PLA mold. Image | 小宁子 XNZ Thus, the plaster remains while the PLA dissolves, allowing an internal structure to remain that can be filled with aluminum. It sounds simple, but he had to remove the air from the plaster with a vacuum machine, melt the aluminum and have an oven that carries out a complex process of dehydration, pyrolysis and combustion for 12 hours to achieve the result. The first attempt at a heatsink turned out okay. Image | 小宁子 XNZ The heatsink already polished. Image | 小宁子 XNZ Then, he “simply” added the aluminum and… the first try didn’t work. Unlike Chinese artisans centuries ago who if they lost a piece they had to re-carve the wax mold, here they simply 3D printed another one and repeated the process. After filing the aluminum, the heatsink was ready. Switch 2 not so much. Place the PS5 Pro and Xbox Series Wi-Fi and Bluetooth of each one (for Internet and connection with accessories) and you connect the only power supply that gives life to both consoles in the base. Switch 2 is a little more complicated. It doesn’t need as much food, so opt for a USB-Cbut also for printing a module that does not sacrifice the mobility of the console. The dock of the new Switch 2 dock. Image | 小宁子 XNZ Here the challenge is to provide connection HDMI for a TV (so the dock hardware is also included inside the console), but also allows you to easily grab the console in case you want to play away from the TV. To do this, he devised a module similar to the dock, but to be placed vertically. The button that ejects the Switch 2. Image | 小宁子 XNZ After trying several conventional springs, the YouTuber printed some in 3D to ensure that, by pressing a button, the console slides as if it were toast so that it appears from the side. It sounds dangerous, but seeing the result, the truth is that the movement is quite smooth. Arduino to the rescue. With all the machines connected to the power, the most important thing remained: program a brain to control the HDMI output and the power. To do this, he used a plate Arduino Conveniently programmed so that, by pressing a button on the top, the signal switches between platforms in less than five seconds. The aluminum heatsink and the copper ones that go directly to the APU of the two consoles with the thermal paste. Image | 小宁子 XNZ Mounting the plates on the heatsink. Image | 小宁子 XNZ It’s not the only thing it does: it also has a front LED connected that changes color (red, blue and green) depending on the console it is running (Switch 2, PS5 or Xbox Series X). Connecting the Arduino board and the Image LED strip. | 小宁子 XNZ THE console. And that’s it, let’s play. The speed at which it changes between the HDMIs is impressive and the creator herself is surprised by the heat it expels through the upper area. Obviously, there are two ‘large’ consoles dissipating the heat and having an aluminum heatsink that, no matter how apparent it may be, has somewhat thick tabs for what is usually … Read more

A YouTuber fed up that the mobiles were bored and theirs was built. The result is gloriously absurd

by

An American youtuber named Marcin Plaza, boring from the lack of innovation in the design of our mobile phones, wanted to prove to create one that adapted to their needs. He succeeded, of course, although the final result has raised some controversy because more than innovative what he has achieved is a “retroinnovator” mobile. What happened. This youtuber is known for its “Frankenstein” device experiments, and a few months ago he published a video in which he explained how he managed to replace the keyboard of his Lenovo Yoga laptop for a mechanical onecreating a unique combination. Now he has returned to the streets, but with a singular experiment: to take advantage of his Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 To create your own mobile. That physical keyboards live. Plaza decided that he would take advantage of the outer display of Z Flip 5 and combine it with the physical keyboard of an old Blackberry Q10 of 2013. The idea was simple to get that keyboard to become a sliding keyboard that is hidden under the screen of its Z Flip 5 broken. But of course, one thing was to say it, and another to do it. An infernal process. In the video in which the entire Plaza process begins, it begins by destroying the Z Flip 5 and checking which components could save. He then designed a housing to print it on a CNC machine – only numerous tests with a 3D printer – and also created a small circuit using an Arduino Pro micro controller that allowed him to adapt the old blackberry keyboard. Looking for solutions. The difficulties did not end there, and to allow the opening of all applications on the small front screen Plaza ended up using Samsung’s Good Lock application and its multistar module. This unique user even ended up adding a magnetic ring for wireless load. This mobile sounds to me. After numerous additional digital DIY tests and operations, Plaza managed to create what he expected: a “Frankenstein” mobile with a small frontal screen and a sliding keyboard underneath. The curious thing – or maybe not – is that this mobile had already been invented 15 years ago. It did the same company from which he took his keyboard, because we are talking about The BlackBerry Torch that first launched in 2010. A hardly replicable experiment. The creator of this curious mobile has shared Some of the project detailsbut it is difficult to replicate it because the only guide to do so is the video he has published on YouTube. Be that as it may, the final result is surprising – especially, because it works – but also paradoxical: the title of the video is “I built my own mobile … because at present innovation is sad”, but its mobile has little innovative. That doesn’t really matter too much: achieving something like that is certainly remarkable. In Xataka | Telephone cabins are disappearing from the world.

There is a youtuber broadcasting the Soterration works of the A-5 in Madrid. And there are thousands of people hooked

by

The phenomenon popularly known as “Retirees looking at the works“A recurring image in urban environments has been for decades. But new technologies have redefined that passer -by: a YouTube channel that broadcasts comments the advances of the megaobras of the A5 is the last incarnation of a phenomenon as old as the same cities. And this is its most recent plasma. Look at YouTube works. Travel is my thing It is the name this channel that contemplates in detail works, especially from Madrid. It started like A travel channelbut it has ended up focusing on different works in the capital: MADRINGthe Puerta del Sol awningsthe stations of Atocha and Chamartínthe new Castellana Park… And of course, that controversial mastodon and that is turning the south of the capital into chaos, which is the underground of the A-5, which has already dedicated A fortnight of videos. Many of this theme are around 25,000 views and already have almost 20,000 subscribers. A-5, in detail. It is not strange that the account focuses on the works of SOTERRATION OF THE A-5that affect Neighborhoods like Lucero, Aluche, Camp and Casa de Campo: The works began in October last year but it is from January when they have started Generate problems. Its objectives, among other things, are to reduce surface traffic by 90%, improve air quality and reduce noise. However, the problems follow each other as they are dodged The original planning: The capacity has been reduced by half in a three -kilometer stretch, generating large bottles, and specific closures and deviations are being enabled, which is giving rise to tremendous chaos. Why interests. All this gives as fruit A horrible summer to move around Madrid Due to the problems that are also generating the works by Metro, Cercanías, Metro Light and some of the aforementioned above. It is a problem that literally affects millions of people who move daily for the capital by public or private transport, so it has every sense of the world that they want to be informed. Accounts such as traveling is mine provide valuable information beyond official sources. The cliché of the retirees. Beyond the service that these accounts give, the truth is that the topic of retirees looking at works, thanks to accounts like this, acquires a renewed sense, but without limitations of age or free time. We are the digital version of That passerby that in his day Manuel Delgado defined as “he Flâuneur contemporary“. Only now we have Short videos with specific reflections On the layout or incidents of a work, or live broadcasts that document minute large projects such as eThis follows the Camp Nou reconditioning or this detailed chronicle of Those of the Romareda. Children of #Pormishuevism. Those who want warm up with the nth jam of the A-5 They have their content, and the fans of superconstructions, too. It is a trend of digital content consumption that reflects interest, not lacking criticism, for urban transformation, and that derives from legendary accounts in networks such as Broken nation. In more recent times, he has gained great follow -up Erik Harley coining the term #PorMishuevismo, with which he invented a false artistic movement to denounce speculative architecture, urban corruption and waste in public and private projects. The success of satirical or openly critical accounts with urban transformation is what has generated interest in the excesses in construction in large cities. Now, with one more eye put in the detailed analysis of the evolution of the works, this interest is exploited as traveling is mine. Header | Travel is my thing

A youtuber has a car that is worth four million euros. To drive it you have to pay 7,000 every 60 kilometers

by

If there is a brand that has understood that maxim of whether you can put a price on exclusivity, that is Bugatti. Luxury brands play with the lists of people Millionaires who aspire to have the object in question to their credit, and part of that exclusiveness It is achieved both with the price and with the very scarce units. Of the Chins Super Sport? Just 30 units. What do you want Centodieci? Too bad, s10th 10th were manufactured. Even with their very high prices, Volkswagen every bugatti sold It cost him moneyso they had an idea: make the difficult thing not to buy the car, but to maintain it. Also Sell ​​customization packages with which customers They invest 500,000 euros on averagebut that is another topic. And within the exclusivity of Bugatti, there is a specific model that is not the most expensive of the concessionaire, but yes It costs a kidney and part of the other as you want to do kilometers. The reason? Their wheels cost a money and you have to change them every 60 kilometers. This is the very exclusive Bugatti Bolidewhich is also not made for roads. You’re going to remember every time you want to change the wheels The Bolide was presented as a concept in 2020 and began to be delivered in the middle of last year. It costs about four million euros and we return to the issue of exclusivity: there are only 40 units worldwide. It is a car that is very similar to the rest of his family, but with a peculiarity: he is not approved to circulate by road. It is a luxury hyperdeportivo, yes, but its natural atmosphere is the circuit. Changing anything in Bolide costs a moneyas in any bugatti and the rest of the supercar. The reason is that it is not as simple as lifting the hood, loosening a couple of nuts and making the change: you have to disassemble part of the car to, for example, make an oil change. And this is something that must be done frequently because the engine consumes more oil than that of a normal car. But Bolide’s issue are, as we say, the wheels, because in this case it is like a Formula 1. When you buy the car, the manufacturer includes four very fine tires that only serve to transport the car of the circuit asphalt. Once there, the main tires are mounted, Michelin specials who are like the slicks (without drawing) of those of competition cars. There is also rain version. These tires should be preheated before starting the car (again, as in the maximum engine competition) and degradation is bestial. The Bolide weighs about 1,300 kilos, but generates A suction force of more than 1,800 kilos. This makes the car stick to the ground, Like a vacuumto face the curves better, but also degrades the tires. Acceleration of 0 to 300 km/h in 7.37 seconds, 1,850 hp and total traction You eat some wheels that have to be changed every 60 kilometers. And what does that translate? The YouTuber Manny Khoshbin, a car lover, collector and who does not mind informing about the money that each of them costs him, Comment In one of its last videos that these changes at 60 kilometers cost about 7,000 euros. In the end, these extreme benefits entail the very short life of the tires in a car that is absolutely brutal. You just have to listen to how the engine roots when many lights it (just turning it on sure it costs more than filling the tank of my car). And the comfort that we have left is that … that of Lego costs less than 50 euros. Something is something.

of television star to YouTuber entered into misfortune by animal abuse

by

For a while, Frank Cuesta, better known on his television journey as Frank de la Jungla, was one of the best known and loved television faces in the early last decade. When their programs stopped being issued, it was installed on the Internet, and from its animal sanctuary in Thailand, a drift that has culminated in a disastrous way began. It has been with audios that reveal a face as an animal abuse that has definitely put a public image that had been awakening doubts for years. Conflictive audios. Earlier this week some audios were leaked in which he referred to animals of the sanctuary aggressively (“we must have delicatas, which people like Suricatas whores.”), Among other animals that he acknowledged having bought for sale. I also talked about poisoning cats (“I’m going to make a mix of cat food with poison to eat the son of a bitch and burst inside. (…) If you have a cat, you keep it at home”) Already dogs (“I will put poison every fucking days until all the fucking dogs die (…) I will load them all”) that entered the sanctuary. The audios have been Filrated by his exsocio chi wildlifewith the purpose of uncovering little ethical behaviors of Cuesta. He also spread images in which the bad state in which animals such as pig or otter were seen, or told stories about the replacement of dead animals with similar ones to maintain the attention of their YouTube followers. The defense. His team has defended the audios talking about a passenger anger in the context of audios for a friend. Frank Cuesta has defended himself in a video in which he cries before the camera and that he has already retired from his networks stating that all he did was put laxative for dogs and cats not to approach the sanctuary. But as They have pointed out several of His criticsit is not only an improper behavior of an owner of an animal sanctuary, but also adds to a long trajectory of controversies and conflicts. The tip of the iceberg. The filtration of these audios is the last episode of the fall in disgrace of Cuesta in recent months, but it has not been the most serious event that has had to happen: it was recently bitten by a spit copperwhich put him on the verge of death. Before that, in 2024 He had suffered the onslaught of a deer that broke two ribs and contact with a poisonous frog. But his most controversial moments are those that imply problems with justice: he has to respond to Three demands of his ex -wife and was arrested by the Possession of protected animals. The Internet reaction. Frank Cuesta has established in recent years an active relationship with various youtubers and Influencersin order to get Collection for your sanctuary. Some of them have reacted to Frank Cuesta Audios: The Grefg has criticized it publicly And he has asked for explanations, while Plex has defended itstating that everything seen in videos is true. Other content creators, such as Rome Gallardo either Hetero white uncle They have also positioned themselves against Cuest Dalas Review. Success on television. The success came to Frank Cuesta after the program ‘Callejeros Travelers’ interviewed it for a delivery set in Thailand. His knowledge about reptiles gave him the opportunity to drive his own space, ‘Frank de la Jungla’. With him he obtained a wave, and continuity with the program ‘La Jungal at home’, shot this time in Spain. He would still make a third series with four, ‘Natural Frank’, before moving on to Discovery Max with ‘Wild Frank’, which he recorded 17 seasons. A presence on YouTube. Although Frank Cuesta has obtained his fame primarily from the almighty television, it has been with the YouTube accounts that he has managed since the late last decade where he has shaped a peculiar Fandom. The first construction of an animal shelter and after a Sanctuary away from Thailand For animals that do not belong to that same environment, it has kept their followers hooked on materials on animals, although it currently costs only the channel dedicated to the Libertad Sanctuary. The accounts of your channel. Frank Cuesta de YouTube channel has 4,150,000 subscribers. Virtually all its content is paid: direct, streamings and private webcams that reflect the day to day in the sanctuary. The controversy, without a doubt, It has fallen well In terms of figures: it is estimated that there could be 60,000 subscribers in the last month and a half, and with more than 12 million views of their videos at that same time, have entered between 3 and 16,000 euros for their videos in the last month. Political positions. Meanwhile, their political positions have been radicalized: He aligned with Vox In 2022, launching inconvenience statements, although later It was distanced from the game behind him Violent behavior of Ortega Smith. This positioning, which has intensified Over the yearsthe opposition of progressive sectors won him, also very critical of his peculiar way to face animal care. An uncertain end. All this (mainstream success, problematic channels on YouTube, radical political positioning, abundance scandals) are the ingredients of a cocktail that seems to have ended up exploding with the publication of the audios. It is significant that many of the creators of content that criticize him, as some of those mentioned above, usually invoice content aligned with conservative positions: they are the same as months ago they defended their content for that same reason. A true polvorín that still smooths: we will continue to talk about Frank de la Jungla. In Xataka | Disinformation circulates more freedom than ever on the Internet.

A youtuber has wondered why movies always improve in black and white. The answer: “Less distractions”

by

The tendency to move black and white some successful films looks like a fashion more than a hollywood desperate for repairing and selling our favorite films several times. In some cases, however, the results are surprising, and there is an explanation for this: why in virtually all cases the black and white versions of films that were shot in color are so interesting, when they do not directly improve the original? Blanquinegros dinosaurs. It is the question that Youtuber Midday Reviews was asked when he checked for the umpteenth time one of his favorite films, ‘Jurassic Park’, This time in black and white. He discovered in her, thanks to an experiment that did not believe that he was going to take him to any interesting conclusion, a completely new film, one that returned to the terror to the saurios he experienced when he first saw the film, in the cinema and being a kid. The reason: less distractions. According to the author of the channel, this improvement is summarized in one point: the absence of color distracts less, and the viewer focuses unconsciously on planning, textures, lighting, microgest of interpretations. In aspects more linked to film creation, and therefore in black and white movies have a more “cinematographic” appearance. Not only because they are backward for times when films were less naturalistic and more focused on cinematographic language, but because the absence of color makes the spectator more aware that he is watching a fiction. Other examples. Midday Reviews reviews multiple examples of recent films that have received this treatment commercially, such as’Mad Max: Fury on the road‘(that George Miller himself considers The best version of the movie) either ‘Logan‘ (that He was born as an experimentbut that fans and director think that it is the definitive version of the film). Also mentions a case of which We have talked here‘In search of the lost ark’, a completely unofficial experiment, but that reaches the same conclusions as ‘Jurassic Park’: without distractions derived from color, background aspects such as edition or planning shine throughout its glory. You try. Midday Reviews recommends experiencing with your favorite films, ensuring that you will always find some interest with these colorless versions. And to demonstrate it, it puts some unusual examples: ‘Ninja turtles’ has almost expressionist lighting and planning details; And ‘Solo at home’ becomes an absolutely sinister dyes film thanks to its use of contrasts and that make it a film close to the horror genre. We have done it. Of course we have done it. We have tried an absolute icon of horror cinema: the first ‘nightmare in Elm Street’, overflowing with chiaroscuros, contrasted colors and games with lighting and colors. The result is not only a much more rough film, but completely loses the low -budget air of the Wes Craven classic, acquiring a very classic elegance. Apart from the fact that, as the video says, the lack of color allows you to repair in aspects such as the very detailed and terrifying texture of the special effects or makeup. Is it used for all cases? It will be a matter of testing, but the fun does not take away from you.
