For the first time ever, NASA has tested its next generation of Mars helicopters in two different worlds. A new rotor for helicopters that will be used in future missions was tested recently at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Southern California, while real-life flight simulation was conducted on Mars through the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter, which broke altitude and airspeed records during an experimental flight. The NASA team was surprised by the performance of the new Mars helicopter while conducting the test. Know the details.
A new Evangelion anime tribute motherboard from Asus is getting plenty of attention but not quite for the right reasons
14.11.2023 - 12:42 / pcgamer.com
The new ROG Maximus Z790 Hero Eva-02 Edition motherboard from Asus isn't notable for its wealth of hardware features or even the fact that it's been customised with a full blown tribute to the 1990's anime Neon Genesis Evangelion. It's garnered more news than most motherboards do thanks to one simple typo.
As reported by our chums at Tom's Hardware, the latest model in Asus' anime-themed motherboards is festooned with colours and images for fans of the influential mid-90s mecha anime Neon Genesis Evangelion or just Eva, for short. However, critical eyes around the Internet soon spotted a wee mistake on the I/O cover.
Instead of saying Evangelion Production Model -02, the main image on the product's page clearly shows Evangenlion. However, other shots of the motherboard don't show this mistake, so you'd be forgiven for thinking it's just a tiny design error on the picture. Except it's not, as proved by one YouTuber who bought the product and made an unboxing video of it.
At around the 2:30 minute mark, you can clearly see the typo which suggests that it isn't just a mistake on a webpage but a boo-boo running through the entire production run of the board. Sure, it's not a massive issue but if I was a huge Eva fan and wanted this motherboard to be the front and centre of my PC tribute, I'd be more than a bit miffed.
While we were musing on this typo in the office, Jacob drew our attention to another new motherboard, this time from Colorful. In the official PR material, there's a somewhat blurry image of the iGame Z790D5 Ultra board. Just cast your eyes over it in the gallery below. You might want to take an extra glance or two at the M.2 SSD covers in the middle of the board.
I know what it's meant to say and I dare say the low resolution picture really isn't helping, but you can't tell me that it doesn't read as 'love shat you play' at first glance. The main page for the motherboard has a better image for it, of course, but even then the choice of font isn't a great one.
So not a typo in this case, just a combination of a bad design choice and poor quality press images. That said, I do kind of want a new line of Shat signature PC components. Hell, who wouldn't want a Shat Radeon RX 7900 XTX Obliterator or a Shat Master 9000 case? The possibilities for infantile comedy would be endless.
The mistake by Asus may just give the new Eva-02 Edition a bit of a sales boost, just because of a few extra people wanting one for posterity, but if I wasn't poor, I'd be ordering that Colorful Z790D5 Ultra board right now, just for that M.2 cover. Yeah, I know how juvenile I am.

Walmart Seemingly Getting Smash Ultimate Switch OLED Bundles For The Holidays
The holiday season is almost upon us, and it's set to be a big one for Nintendo. Almost definitely the final holiday season during which the Switch is Nintendo's newest console - even though there has still been no official confirmation that a replacement is coming - sales of the juggernaut console still refuse to slow down all that much. The success of Super Mario Bros. Wonder will ensure that continues through the end of the year, and Nintendo appears to have a couple of Switch OLED models ready to go just to make sure sales remain high.
