This week in Light Start, we explore some of the Marvel universe, check out some frikkin’ laserbeams, and witness an eldrich abomination made flesh.

We’ve been following rumours that Lenovo-owned Motorola is looking at cracking the folding phone market (such as it is) with its very own entry — a folding version of the iconic Motorola RAZR. We’ve found out what the specs are likely to be, and now we may have a pretty good idea what it looks like.
Okay, okay, we’re totally having a go at Samsung here. The Korean company has a new TV on the way, called the Sero. It’s not quite as apocalyptic as we’re making out, either. It’s just got one little feature that, honestly, makes it stand out. Or up.
It’s that time of the month again, where a new issue of Stuff Magazine hits shelves. And for the May 2019 issue of Stuff Magazine, we’re going to do things to your head. Or at least, you’re going to do things to your head. We’re just going to give you loads and loads of options.
This week on Light Start: multiple Will Smiths, William Gibson’s Alien script, Endgame shatters records, and Bill Nye the Science Podcast.
In a world filled with technology, it’s really easy to get caught up in messages, notifications, working from wherever, and just generally being busy. It’s difficult to remember to take some time for yourself but the Moment Pebble hopes to encourage you to do just that. This little gadget might look like the most pointless thing since the Pet Rock (Down Fluffy! Stop hitting the nice man!) but it could be just the break you need from your frantic modern life.
We might have first seen it around 1 April but upcoming DC series Swamp Thing is no joke. The first teaser video for the swamp monster-featuring show has dropped and it’s looking a whole lot like traditional horror fare. Suitably DC-flavoured, so there’s grit, grime, and (probably) mothers named Martha everywhere.
Dadabots is a musical project that uses a neural network to produce music. Heavy music. Death metal, if you want to put a label on it, though we’d add that there’s some grindcore and a whole mess of machine-gun bass.
As much as it hurts to see this P30 Pro teardown, that’s something that we — and you — should probably watch. Because Huawei’s put some pretty high-end stuff in there. Like its Periscope camera.
We’ve been expecting something to turn up for a while and now it looks as though the cat may be out of the bag. Images of what appears to be Microsoft’s disc-less console have turned up online, giving us some idea of what the console — known as the Xbox One S All Digital — could look like.
