AMC Theatres is backtracking on increasing its prices for some seating options after the company realized it didn’t make a difference for customers. The company launched a price upcharge at select theaters earlier this year, charging customers more money for “preferred” seating.“Dungeons & Dragons is My Nerdy Obsession” | First FandomsAt the time, AMC said preferred seats would be located in the middle of the theater, costing customers a “slight premium” fee in contrast to its least costly “value” tier for seats in…

Working doors provide easier access to the Corvette’s interior for those not wanting to ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ their way inside, where you’ll find additional details like clutch, brake, and gas pedals (sorry, there’s no automatic option), a gear shift, a radio, a rear view mirror, and a pair of seatbelt-less seats.

There are many advantages to using electric motors in tools, including high-levels of torque, lightweight designs, and relatively quiet operation. But if you miss the deafening roar of a gas-powered engine, it turns out you can upgrade a battery-powered drill with a tiny V8 engine and make it sound like you’re wielding a chainsaw instead.How Can You Be a Steward of Good Tech in 2023? | Gizmodo InterviewThis unorthodox upgrade by Tim of the YouTube channel TimWelds is somehow both absolutely pointless and surprisingly…

Over the past few years, a lot has happened in the EV space. While only a few short years ago, the Tesla Model 3 was considered the go-to for those who wanted a premium EV “on a budget,” since then we’ve seen a number of high-quality competitors, like the Kia EV6. To be clear, neither the Tesla Model 3 nor the Kia EV6 are cheap cars. But we’re still somewhat in the early adopted phase of electric cars, and while we will get cheaper and cheaper electric cars over time, for now, you’ll need to spend the cash if you…

Everyone has their favorite pop culture vehicle, but for me, few are as cool as the DeLorean from Back to the Future Part II. Sure, the original one is awesome, and the Western flair of the third one is slick, but we’re talking the flying, Mr. Fusion-having, neon-lights-buzzing version that takes Marty, Doc, and Jennifer back to the future of 2015. It’s iconic.Which is certainly why Bottleneck Gallery and Vice Press are teaming up with one of io9's favorite artists, Tom Whalen, to pay homage to the best time machine in…

The Tesla Model Y is one of the most popular EVs on the market, thanks to its generous size, support for Tesla’s excellent charging infrastructure, and great interior tech. But while other carmakers have traditionally played catchup with Tesla, these days there are plenty of alternatives to the Model Y — like the Kia EV6. The EV6 isn’t as immediately recognizable as the Model Y, but it still sports a sleek design and solid range. Like the Model Y, it’s also available in a few different variants, so you can find the…

Hyundai Motor Group has undergone a complete renaissance. Led by the likes of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the Kia EV6, the company has successfully reinvented itself as a world leader in the EV market, setting itself up for the future in a pretty serious way. But Kia and Hyundai are joined by a third brand. Genesis is less-known than its sister companies, but like its parent, it’s facing explosive growth. Genesis was conceived as a luxury brand of Hyundai Motor Group — and as such, you might expect its EVs to take the…

Image: AMC/TitmouseTV shows getting canceled are nothing new, but the last two or three years have seen shows get abruptly killed off, even as they were already locked in for another season. In some cases, like with GLOW over on Netflix, it was because of the COVID pandemic. But more recently, other series (like The Minx at HBO Max) were gutted to cut costs, even as those shows were basically in the can, production wise.Sadly, that trend looks to continue again in 2023, as Deadline reports that AMC is pulling the plug on…

Lego Technic models might not be as pretty as standard Lego models when built, but they make up for it with lots of functionality, which is what makes this 1,466-piece, 1:12-scale model of the 2022 Ford GT so tempting. It’s got working steering, independent suspension on all four wheels, front axle steering, a differential in the back, opening doors, and adjustable spoiler, and an accessible hood revealing a V6 engine inside with moving pistons. Lego Technic models might not be as pretty as standard Lego models when…

If you prefer your home theater and audio gear to be invisible and out of sight in a room, you’ll want to move along, because the 911 Soundbar 2.0 Pro is for those who want everyone to know they’ve spent $12,000 on a soundbar. It has Porsche written all over it—both literally and figuratively.Even if you lack the need for speed and find the idea of a car going repeatedly around a track immensely boring, the sound of a $100,000+ sports car’s revving engine is still both impressive, and maybe a bit intimidating. For the…
