Listen to Device Orchestra cover the Ghostbusters theme using electric toothbrushes and a steam iron

Ghostbusters device orchestra

An inspired musician can use pretty much anything as an instrument, but this just-in-time for Halloween cover of the Ghostbusters theme song goes in an unexpected direction. Device Orchestra is dedicated to posting music videos recorded solely with the sounds of common household devices. It's the work of a Finnish YouTuber who's been creating gadget-powered covers since 2014 (via Wikitubia). This time, Device Orchestra busted out 14 gadgets for its composition — including electric toothbrushes adorned with googly eyes.

One electric toothbrush with pipe cleaners for arms stands front and center, belting out the familiar chorus in a tone comparable to a musically-inclined bumblebee. It might be the star of the show, but it has plenty of...

Nikon recently announced its new flagship camera, the Z9. This camera represents Nikon's first mirrorless camera fully geared towards professional photographers and hybrid shooters, with a huge spec list designed for use in the demanding fields of photojournalism, sports, nature, birding, and any other use-cases that call for a camera that shoots incredibly fast at high resolution. The $5,500 Z9 is also Nikon's first camera to omit a traditional mechanical shutter, allowing it to achieve new levels of speed and autofocus performance.

Faster speed is great, especially for sports photographers. But it's interesting to think about where this technology could be used to take traditional-style cameras in the future. This might be the first...

Roblox has been down for more than two days, with the game and its related website offline for millions of players. The hugely popular game-creating platform first started having issues at around 7PM ET on October 28th. Roblox initially said it was "working hard to get things back to normal," and that it had identified "the root cause as [an] internal system issue."

In a statement to The Verge, Roblox confirms its platform isn't down due to an "external intrusion," and that the company is working "around the clock" to resolve the huge outage. "We believe we have identified an underlying internal cause of the outage with no evidence of an external intrusion," says a Roblox spokesperson. "We are in the process of performing the necessary...

Just as the FDA officially approved Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine for kids between the ages of five and 11, Meta, Facebook's brand new identity, announced that it's rolling out stricter policies for vaccine misinformation targeted at children (via Engadget). The platform previously put restrictions on COVID-19 vaccine misinformation in late 2020, but didn't have policies specific to kids.

Meta says in a new blog post that it's partnering with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to take down harmful content related to children and the COVID-19 vaccine. This includes any posts that imply the COVID-19 vaccine is unsafe, untested, or ineffective for children. Additionally, Meta will...

One of the most anticipated rounds of international climate negotiations this decade will go down at a United Nations summit in Glasgow over the next couple weeks. But many representatives from the frontlines of the climate crisis won't be there: people from islands that may be lost under rising seas, representatives of indigenous tribes, and activists who typically turn high-level negotiations into boisterous events with their demonstrations.

The 26th annual United Nations Conference of Parties, or COP26, is the five-year anniversary of the Paris climate accords. Signatories, which included nearly every country on Earth, agreed to limit global warming to a level that might be manageable for humanity. Those nations are not close to...
