Old Rusty. I wonder how long it has been since a smiling laughing little kid sat behind Old Rusty's wheel?

Found in a dumpster. Sloppy Chinese assembly, some Celeron N series, 4GB RAM, 64GB eMMC on board. Windows is broken, but #devuan works just fine from an USB stick. Need to find a power connector and test it thoroughly.
If it had 8GB RAM at least and 17" display it would be a laptop of my dream.

The euphoria surrounding Labubu toys is starting to resemble the boom-and-bust cycle that ended in the collapse of Beanie Babies in the 1990s, a warning sign for investors, a bearish analyst says. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/11/16/markets/pop-mart-labubu-beanie-baby/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #markets #popmart #labubu #beaniebabies #toys

AI-powered toys? What could go wrong? “After testing three different toys powered by AI,” Frank Landymore writes, “researchers from the US Public Interest Research Group found that the playthings can easily verge into risky conversational territory for children, including telling them where to find knives in a kitchen and how to start a fire with matches.” It actually gets worse in one case.

Imagine this being a Christmas present in 1914! This 'British Dolls' Field Hospital' is both charming and a little eerie. What do you think of this vintage toy?

Asher has fully sniffed out & assessed the foam rocket launcher toy. He isn't as scared of it. That took 2 hours.

My latest sock toy is finally complete: three headed hydra, imagined by 7yo and made by me. He's got six arms and three legs, which was a real pain to construct.
Entirely made from old clothes and scraps! Most of his decorations came from a pair of bejeweled gloves (the fingers are his legs). He has a pipe cleaner skeleton which makes him poseable. This was my first attempt at armature and I learned a lot!

A red, three headed hydra seen from the side. Each head has a red frill on either side and pointy teeth. He has six black and white striped arms and a long tail with a furry black and white ridge on top.
The hydra seen at an angle from the back. His back has a kind of patchwork, reptilian effect with a central patch covered in small black rhinestones.
The hydra seen from the front. It is mostly black, red, and white. You can really get a good view of the heads' slightly goofy expressions. Each limb has little felt claws.
The president of a company in Hokkaido has developed a children's toy resembling an automated external defibrillator, or AED, to reduce the fear associated with using the lifesaving device. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/10/07/companies/hokkaido-company-aed-toy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #hokkaido #toys #children #aed #health #heartdisease

So. My friend has made a product that any LEGO-loving family needs YESTERDAY. And you can buy one!
The Brick Hero Case is a lightweight travel case for Legos. Great details like a no-spill mesh pocket, an integrated baseplate, a 2-way zipper.
Seriously, this thing fills such a gap in any LEGO family's life. She has 500 of them sitting in her apartment in Berlin, go grab yours!
