This is some home security cam footage of a charging iPhone 4 spontaneously combusting. Now I know what you’re thinking, “An iPhone 4, really? Those came out way back in 2010 — they probably aren’t even compatible with today’s electricity.” And I’d be inclined to agree with you if I
This is a video highlighting all the real OSHA violations spotted in Boston Dynamics’ latest video of its ATLAS humanoid robot doing some construction work. Unsurprisingly, the robot does NOT follow proper safety guidelines. Like, at all. I wish I could say I’m surprised. I also wish I could say

This is a video of the entirely robotic One Hacker Band performing a rendition of Nirvana’s 1991 banger ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’. Even without watching the video, you can tell it’s a robot band playing it. It sounds robotic. Like I’ve often been accused of, it has no soul. Also,
