Pack Smarter, Travel Easier with the Ultimate Modular Luggage Solution

Posted on by

Traveling light is often not as easy as it sounds. Navigating a narrow aisle on a regional jet or waiting on the tarmac in a snowstorm for your gate-checked bag can make even the simplest of trips cumbersome. That’s the challenge that led to the creation of Onli Travel and the Trilogy Modular Travel System—born from a firsthand experience with air travel frustrations and a powerful question: Why couldn’t luggage adapt to these challenges?

Onli Travel’s latest release, the Trilogy Modular Travel System, is built on versatility, adaptability, and convenience. It’s not just another travel bag; it’s a modular luggage system designed to adapt to meet the needs of a wide range of travelers, from weekenders to globetrotters. Built from years of iteration and user feedback, the Trilogy represents Onli Travel’s quest for a better way to carry what matters.

This system gives you three different bags that come together—or apart—as needed. Unlike traditional luggage that must be either fully checked or fully carried, the Trilogy breaks down into separate components that fit under airplane seats or in crowded compartments, avoiding gate checks and streamlining your travel experience. It’s three bags in one: a compact, expandable tote, a spinner that fits under an airplane seat, and a larger, expandable rear backpack unit.

The Expandable Tote Pack front unit features a redesigned strapping system that lets you carry it as a backpack, shoulder bag, or tote. The middle unit, an expandable spinner, is stronger and more stable and designed to support smaller bags on top without toppling over. The rear unit has also been redesigned with accessibility in mind—a larger panel allows access even when combined with the middle section, and a hidden pocket provides secure storage.

Onli Travel’s Penta 5-in-1 Packable Duffel, a related modular new product, enhances the Trilogy system. The Penta Duffel supports those unexpected needs—a market run, a last-minute detour, or just a day out. It functions as a duffel, backpack, shoulder bag, belt bag, or crossbody, adding lightweight capacity right when needed.

The Trilogy aims to eliminate the need to check a bag. Each piece is designed to be stowed under a seat or into a tight overhead compartment, making gate-checking as obsolete as possible. Since Onli Travel’s inception, this concept has been tested and refined across dozens of flights, leading to over 20 engineering and design improvements. The Expandable Tote, Spinner, and Weekender Daypack are easy to open—clamshell-style for organized packing or top-loading for casual trips.

Over the past two years, Onli Travel has worked with real travelers, sending beta testers across Japan, Spain, Poland, and Ukraine, among other places, to test the Trilogy. This field testing validated the design and guided many changes. Travelers asked, and Onli listened—redesigning everything from the strapping system to reinforcements for stability, making this the most advanced modular spinner the company has produced.

Onli Travel understands that travel means freedom—freedom to move smoothly from a business meeting to an adventure without swapping bags. The Trilogy offers that freedom, making travel a seamless experience. Each detail has been refined to serve a purpose—even the packing cubes, designed to fit the bags perfectly, help reduce stress, and keep everything organized.

The purpose is clear—to take the hassle out of travel and replace it with flexibility. Fitting your bag into a tight cabin or walking hands-free through crowded streets, the Trilogy has you covered. With its versatile, expandable components and thoughtful features, the Trilogy redefines traveling light, traveling smart, and traveling with peace of mind. After all, travel should focus on what you’re seeing and doing—not worrying about your luggage.

With the Trilogy Modular System, Onli Travel has created something beyond just luggage—they’ve created a travel companion. One that adjusts to your needs, grows when you need extra space, and simplifies the entire traveling experience. And that’s something every traveler could use.

This Little Timber Home Showcases The Traditional Japanese Charring Technique Beautifully

Posted on by

Madeiguincho is a Portuguese woodworking specialist, and they recently created a new model called the Morena. The model is equipped with a stunning timber exterior made utilizing a traditional Japanese charring technique. The tiny home is a fine specimen of the firm’s expertise in woodwork, and it also features an open interior that can accommodate two people with ease.

It is based on a double-axle trailer and features a length of 24 feet and a width of 8.2 feet. The wooden exterior showcases a black aesthetic, on account of being burnt using the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban method of charring wood. This method provides protection from insects and rotting.

Designer: Madeiguincho

The tiny house is equipped with two doors. The main entrance is made up of double glass doors, and they are protected by outer wooden doors. These doors connect the interior to the outside. The decor is made up of different types of wood. Plywood is applied on the walls, and CLT on the ceiling. Italian cherry wood is utilized for the countertops and other elements. The main entrance leads you to the living room, which contains a day bed with integrated storage, some shelving, and a huge porthole-style circular window to allow natural light into the home.

The home also includes a compact desk that functions as a home office. A wood-burning stove provides sufficient heat to warm up the entire home. The kitchen is located closely, and it features an electric cooktop, a sink, shelving, and some cabinetry. There must be a fridge/freezer stored away somewhere, although it isn’t visible in the pics. The kitchen is connected to the bathroom, and it is finished in wood. Like other homes by Madeiguincho, this tiny house also includes a second door to enter and exit.

The Morena only includes one bedroom. This bedroom can be accessed via a large storage-integrated staircase that occupies much of the floor space available on the ground floor. The bedroom is like most loft bedrooms found in typical tiny homes. It includes a low ceiling and space for a double bed.

Canada orders TikTok to shut down its business operations in the country due to ‘national security risks’

Posted on by

Canada has ordered TikTok to shut down its operations in the country, citing unspecified “national security risks” posed by the company and its parent ByteDance. With the move, TikTok will be forced to “wind up” all business in the country, though the Canadian government stopped short of banning the app.

“The government is taking action to address the specific national security risks related to ByteDance Ltd.’s operations in Canada through the establishment of TikTok Technology Canada, Inc,” Canada’s Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry François-Philippe Champagne said in a statement. “The decision was based on the information and evidence collected over the course of the review and on the advice of Canada’s security and intelligence community and other government partners.”

Canada’s crackdown on TikTok follows a “multi-step national security review process” by its intelligence agencies, the government said in a statement. As the CBC points out, the country previously banned the app from official government devices. It also comes several months after the United States passed a law that could ban the app stateside. US lawmakers have also cited national security concerns and the app’s ties to China. TikTok has mounted an extensive legal challenge to the law.

In a statement, a TikTok spokesperson said the company would challenge Canada’s order as well. "Shutting down TikTok’s Canadian offices and destroying hundreds of well-paying local jobs is not in anyone's best interest, and today's shutdown order will do just that,” the spokesperson said. “We will challenge this order in court. The TikTok platform will remain available for creators to find an audience, explore new interests and for businesses to thrive."

Sega apparently has a new Virtua Fighter game in the works

Posted on by

Virtua Fighter may soon be punching its way back into the public eye. Justin Scarpone, Sega's global head of transmedia, casually dropped the news about a new game in the franchise during an interview with VGC. "We have a suite of titles in development right now that fall into that legacy bucket, which we announced last year at The Game Awards," he said. "Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Streets of Rage, Shinobi, and we have another Virtua Fighter being developed. And so all that’s very exciting."

Exciting indeed. Most of those titles were indeed showcased during The Game Awards as part of a new era for Sega, but Scarpone's mention of Virtua Fighter is a new revelation. The last numbered entry in the series was Virtua Fighter 5 all the way back in 2006. That's not to say the fighting game franchise has been static since then; there have been riffs and redos such as Virtual Fighter 5: Final Showdown in 2015 and 2021's Virtua Fighter Ultimate Showdown. But it has been nearly 20 years since fans have gotten an all new game.

Beyond this offhand confirmation that Sega is working on a follow-up, we know nothing about what the future might hold for a possible Virtua Fighter 6. It seems likely that Akira Yuki and other familiar faces will return, but anything's possible for the characters and mechanics.

Cooking range concept lets you share your kitchen space with other people

Posted on by

I live alone so I can cook whenever I want (which is almost never) and move around freely in my kitchen. But I’ve also experienced living with several people and manoeuvring around everyone during meal times can be a challenge. There are a lot of people who share their living spaces with other people but most kitchen appliances are meant to be used by one person at a time. When you’re living with other people, that’s not always the realistic scenario.

Designer: Anil Ramesh

This concept developed for Electrolux is designed for such a situation. The Peninsular free-standing cooking range can be accessed from 3 sides so that a couple of people can prepare and cook their food simultaneously. The range can be operated by 1 or more users since it has a rotatable inferface for the oven and the hob. The sliding over door opens to the left but it can also be opened from the front.

The cooking range also has other features to help not just with the cooking but also the preparation and even the eventual service once you’re done cooking. There are borders that can protect you and also to attach accessories to store cutting boards and other kitchen utensils. There are also rotatable drawers that can be accessed from the front and the right side.

There is also an upper storage shelf so you can put your spices and other ingredients. It even has an LED lamp for when you need some extra light. There’s also an option to have a modular hood. It’s a pretty nifty thing to have in your kitchen, especially if you’re sharing it with family members or roomates.

Roblox details two new safety policies for protecting children

Posted on by

Roblox is implementing new safety policies intended to better protect the platform's young users. We learned last month that changes were in the works for the game, and a post on the Roblox developer forum today detailed more about those rules. The big takeaway is that a greater section of Roblox content will not be available to players under age 13.

The first part of the new Roblox policy is that starting December 3, users younger than 13 will not be able to play, search or discover any unrated experiences on the platform. However, they can still view information on the experience detail page via a direct link. Roblox is thus requiring creators to confirm that the information on their experience detail pages — such as the thumbnail, title and description — meets the company's criteria for either all ages or for ages 9 and up.

The second part of the policy will restrict access to Roblox's Social Hangouts and Free-form User Creation experiences to users who are over 13. This rule will take effect on November 18.

Roblox has a rocky history when it comes to safety for youth and preteen users. Since 2018, at least two dozen people have been arrested by US policy on accusations of abducting or abusing child victims met through Roblox.

Update, November 6, 2024, 6:27PM ET: Article has been updated to fix an incorrect date.

Even Microsoft Notepad is getting infused with AI

Posted on by

A new AI feature is coming to Microsoft’s Notepad called Rewrite. The Verge reports that Microsoft is rolling out a preview of Rewrite to Windows Insiders that will allow AI to rewrite sentences, change the tone and alter the length of text in Notepad.

Windows Insiders can access Rewrite by highlighting text in a Notepad window and right-clicking it in the menu or pushing the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+I. A dialogue box will open showing the AI’s suggested rewrites of the highlighted text and the adjustable features menus including “Longer,” “Tone” and “Format” above the “Replace” button. If you prefer to write with just your fingers and brain, you can turn off the AI feature in the app settings menu, according to the official Windows blog.

Even Microsoft’s Paint app is getting its own AI features called Generative Fill and Generative Erase. The new “fill” feature can edit and add visual features to your photos and drawings by drawing a selection box and using the text box to describe the image you wish to add to the selected area. The “erase” feature for Paint can remove images in photos or drawings by selecting them with the “generative erase brush” while using the eraser tool, according to the Windows blog.

So it took more than four decades just to get spell check in Notepad but it only took a couple of months to get an AI that can paint and rewrite for us?
