Tired of doomscrolling your way through social media but still in need of a distraction? YouTube’s Karakuri channel designed and built a custom iPhone case featuring a complex mechanical marble machine on the back. Its motorized mechanism runs as long as it can draw power from the phone’s own USB-C port.
If you’re brave enough to enable Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) in Microsoft Word and wade through its security warnings, you can now play Doom right inside your word processor.
To make this work you’ll need a recent copy of Word, a version of Windows “with an x64 CPU architecture,” and Wojciech Graj’s custom version of the game which they’ve made available through GitHub.
According to a behind the scenes look at its creation, it took eight days and 1,043 takes for the band to shoot the 64 one-shot videos used in the music video for “A Stone Only Rolls Downhill.”
The band is already well known for its creative music videos, but a sequence featuring 42 iPhones playing a mosaic of synchronized clips is especially mind-boggling.
