Photomath: The App That Does Your Math For You

I look at the Photomath app, and I get very sad. Not that it will make future generations stupid or any such nonsense. No, I am mad that it didn’t exist while I struggled through algebra.

Check Out This Millennium Falcon Converted To A Record Player

Though it took nine months of work, this Millennium Falcon modded into a record player is one of the coolest things ever.
