Keep scrolling to find a story about an arcade cabinet that plays modern games, a piece about a car that can fly, and a review of two TVs that take display technology to a whole new level. Enjoy! ARCADE GAMES by Giovanni Colantonio Finally, an arcade cabinet for the 21st century You probably have never heard of iiRcade, but the home arcade machine company has come up with a really interesting concept. Rather than offering nostalgia-focused reproductions of classic cabinets, it takes a more modern approach. The machine integrates with a digital storefront where players can buy games à la carte and instantly download them to their machine. Basically, it's an arcade machine with an app store. It's a smart business model, and fans of home arcade machines seemed to agree. The company launched a successful Kickstarter campaign that brought in more than $600,000. Now that it's been on the market for a few months, we have a clearer picture of how the service works and whether or not it lives up to its potential.  Is it worth buying? Check out our full review to find out! READ MORE Advertisement TOP-TIER TVs by Caleb Denison Battle of the best OLEDs: LG G1 OLED Evo vs. Sony XR A90J OLED I'm excited. You're excited. And if you aren't, you really should be. Welcome to the most epic TV battle of 2021. This comparison pits the LG G1 OLED Evo against the Sony Bravia XR A90J OLED, the two best 4K OLEDs from each brand, with both representing the next generation of OLED and offering more brightness than any OLED TV we've seen before. Very exciting, if you ask me! We'll take a quick look at design and user experience, talk about how each TV achieves that new brightness, figure out which TV is actually brighter, as well as when and if that brightness matters, and look at picture quality as a whole before getting to some gaming stuff, all to determine which OLED TV deserves a coveted spot in your home.   Before we dive in, be aware that the Sony A90J can cost as much as $1,000 more than the LG (the Sony 65-inch TV is $4,000, while the LG G1 is $3,000). Prices always come down over time, but a key question to answer in this comparison is whether there can really be a $1,000 difference between these two advanced OLED TVs.

German firm Lilium is one of a growing number of companies that are developing such an eVTOL aircraft, and this week it unveiled its latest design. The super-sleek piloted aircraft has seven seats and a cruising speed of 175 mph. A range of around 150 miles means it can be used not only for short trips within urban areas, but also for much longer trips between cities.  Indeed, Lilium is eyeing 14 cities in Florida for its first air taxi service that could launch as early as 2024. It's also in talks to launch a service connecting cities across Europe. The company told Digital Trends last year that to use the service, "customers would book a shuttle flight much like they would book a ridesharing taxi ride today."
