This is a video made from film footage taken around Tokyo, Japan from 1913-1915 that has been upscaled to 4K resolution and 60 frames/second, with deflickering, colorization, and facial restoration. It’s amazing to say the least. I feel like I just stepped out of my time machine, which was shocking
This is a video from a Tesla Model 3 on Interstate 605 in Los Angeles of a rogue tire that the car helps avoid. In the driver’s own words, who wants to make it clear he’s the real hero here, but the car did help a litle, like a mediocre

Theis is a video of Sand Drawing Robot 2.0, a robot built by Ivan Miranda that crawls along the beach leaving pre-programmed text in its wake. It “uses 50 mini servos to doodle, two mini tanks to drive, and Arduino Mega controllers for its digital brains.” That’s cool. Obviously, if
This is a video from Youtuber Art Of Engineering discussing at length how both electromagnetic and pneumatic drop towers work, and how they operate safely. I didn’t actually bother watching the whole video but I assume the answer is they don’t, and every time you ride one you’re risking it
