As much as we love or LEGO sets, these building blocks are made of plastics, which are byproducts of crude oil and natural gases. And while we’re not tossing LEGO bricks in the trash like drinking straws, making them still isn’t great for the environment. That said, LEGO wants to be more sustainable, and it is starting with this set called the LEGO 10268 Creator Expert Vestas Wind Turbine.

The set is based on Vestas’ wind turbine which is installed in over 80 countries. What makes this set unique is its use of plant-based plastic. The tiny trees in the set are made from all-new sustainably sourced plant-based plastic. The plastic used to make the spruce trees are made from sugarcane. The rest of the plastic elements of this set still uses plastics from conventional sources, but I guess LEGO needed to start small to see how this goes before ramping up.

The 826-piece set has a Vestas Wind Turbine that stands 3.3 feet tall, and comes with the ‘Plants from Plants’ spruce trees, along with a house with a working porch light. You also get three LEGO Vestas servicemen minifigures and a LEGO dog. This is one pretty cool and innovative LEGO set. I’d really like to own this one. You can order yours for $199.99 starting on November 23, 2018 in the LEGO Shop.

The ability to put our clothes on each day is something most of us take for granted, but as computer scientists from Georgia Institute of Technology recently found out, it’s a surprisingly complicated task—even for artificial intelligence.

OnePlus recently launched a new color option for its latest smartphone, the OnePlus 6T. The striking color option is called Thunder Purple. It’s only available in the company’s home market of China right now. It was believed that perhaps OnePlus may offer this color option in other markets later but that may not be the case.

The 8GB/128GB variant of the OnePlus 6T is only available in China for about $520. OnePlus didn’t say when it was announced if it would be selling the device in this colorway in any other markets across the globe.

There has certainly been a lot of interest from customers in this color option. Why wouldn’t there be, it does look really good. However, there’s bad news for those who have been holding out for this option as the company has confirmed that the Thunder Purple OnePlus 6T will remain exclusive to China.

The company’s fans would certainly be hoping that it reconsiders this decision. It would net the company more sales if it decided to release this color option in other markets across the globe such as the United States. Whether or not the company decides to do that at some point down the road remains to be seen.

Corgis are very cool dogs. They are super short, have big fluffy butts, and can run really fast. If you are a fan of the corgi and ever thought what you really need to keep warm in the office is a toasty corgi butt to sit on, here is your chance.

This is a Corgi Butt Heated Pillow that you can plug into your USB port to keep your back or butt warm. It’s a great way to warm yourself in the office without turning up the heat, making your co-workers want you dead.

The heating element doesn’t run directly from the USB port, it runs from a battery that charges via USB. A full 2 hour charge is good for 4-6 hours of toasty corgi sitting. ThinkGeek has the Corgi Butt Heated Pillow for $24.99.
