Is this 656-foot AirYacht the luxury transportation of the future?
The AirYacht, a revolutionary concept by Swiss company AirYacht, is set to redefine luxury travel by offering an unparalleled aerial experience.
Originally envisioned as a detachable superyacht and blimp combination, the design has evolved into a single nondetachable airship with a spacious lounge area.

Unparalleled aerial sightseeing
Imagine taking off from Geneva, soaring over the French Alps and gliding above the picturesque Loire Valley, all while enjoying the luxurious comforts of the AirYacht. With a maximum altitude of 10,000 feet and a top speed of 50 knots, the airship will offer unparalleled aerial sightseeing opportunities, allowing guests to explore the world from a unique perspective. The company tells us that the cost is under $10,000 dollars per night for a three-day trip.

Sustainable and emission-free
One of the key highlights of the AirYacht is its commitment to sustainability. Powered by hybrid propulsion, with plans to run on emissions-free hydrogen by 2030, the airship will have a minimal environmental impact.
WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?

It can embark or disembark passengers with the help of an elevator. During this process, the airship remains in the air without the need for infrastructure, such as airports or roads, further reducing its ecological footprint.

Competition and future prospects
While the AirYacht faces competition from other airship projects like Airlander 10 and Atlant 30, its innovative design and commitment to luxury set it apart. Additionally, the success of projects like Google co-founder Sergey Brin’s Pathfinder could pave the way for increased investment in the airship sector, benefiting start-ups like AirYacht.
We reached out to AirYacht, and CEO Guillaume Hoddé told us, “Flying and living in the sky in an airship is a dream that I want to live and give the opportunity to the maximum amount of people I can.”

Amid public backlash over its smart glasses, Meta announced that it will be updating its glasses with a new feature that will disable the camera when it detects that someone has tampered with or destroyed the glasses’ privacy LED light. The update is meant to address modders who have taken actions such as physically drilling into the LED light.
Meta has previously tried to discourage tampering with the LED light. For example, starting with its second generation glasses, blocking the light with tape or other objects will trigger a prompt asking users to uncover the recording light. However, many modders have found various workarounds for that particular measure.
Meta’s VP of wearables Alex Himel told The Verge that the privacy-focused update was on the way a few weeks ago after launching cheaper Meta Glasses without Ray-Ban branding. At the time, Himel acknowledged that the company was aware of increasing misuse alongside wider adoption of the devices.

Discord accidentally banned over 8,000 people for posting grids and other ‘benign’ images
Stanislav Vishnevskiy, Discord co-founder and chief technology officer, writes that the bug impacted around 200 users who posted “grid-like” pictures, in addition to about 8,000 people who posted “other benign images” since May 2026. “Everyone affected has now been unbanned,” Vishnevskiy says.
In a thread on X, Discord writes that its safety system is designed to flag content by “matching it against known harmful material.” This system can produce “false positives,” Discord explains, which is when an employee would step in to review the flagged content. But instead of just temporarily preventing the account from uploading content during the review, a glitch led its system to ban users entirely.
“When our staff reviewed and cleared those accounts, the same bug prevented the ban from being lifted automatically, so it just stayed in place,” Discord says.
If your Prime Day purchases included a new desk, TV stand, bookshelf, or other furniture you still haven’t assembled, Hoto’s PixelDrive cordless screwdriver can help speed up the process. It’s currently on sale for $59.99 ($20 off) at Amazon, matching its best price to date.
From tightening loose screws on furniture to repairing electronics, the PixelDrive is designed to handle a wide range of household projects. Hoto includes 30 screwdriver bits that cover many of the most common screw types, all neatly organized in a small cylindrical case. It also offers six adjustable torque settings, allowing you to use less power when working with fragile electronics or increase it when putting together a desk, bookshelf, TV stand, or other furniture. You can also switch between a slower 80RPM mode for more precise work and a faster 200RPM mode with the press of a button.
Hoto also added several features that make assembling projects a little easier. A built-in display lets you quickly check your current torque setting and remaining battery life, while an integrated LED light helps illuminate dim spaces, whether you’re working under a desk or inside a cabinet. The rechargeable 2,000mAh battery also charges over USB-C, so you won’t need to keep buying disposable batteries.
