Charlie Chaplin famously rereleased his 1925 silent classic The Gold Rush in 1942 with new narration and edits, believing it would connect better with modern audiences. Now, thanks to film archivists and AI, the silent masterpiece has been painstakingly restored. The 4K version just premiered at Cannes and hit 250 theaters worldwide.
Best dashcams
ChatGPT
The Fourth of July is coming in hot, and so is some absolutely bonkers traffic. And while fireworks light up the sky, accidents and road rage are lighting up our highways.
You need a dashcam
An Oklahoma City driver laid on his horn when an SUV started drifting in his lane. Things escalated quickly. The SUV driver swerved to block the honking driver, then pulled a gun and shot him.
Thankfully, the victim made a full recovery, and his dashcam recorded it all. Police identified and arrested the gunman thanks to that footage.
Key cam specs
Let’s start with the obvious. If you’re in an accident and not at fault, it’s easier to prove if you have it on tape. But cameras don’t just record crashes.
Good dashcams can also detect collisions, alert emergency services and even beep if you start drifting lanes like you’re in a slow-motion Fast & Furious audition. Nice upgrade for an older car!
Some also have parking mode with break-in sensors that sound an alarm and record the whole thing.
My picks
I always like to give you three options, but if you want a dashcam, get the Redtiger one. It’s a great one at a great price!
- Nexar Pro ($145, 27% off): This records HD video, has GPS data tracking and anti-theft alerts. It also auto-records short clips.
- Pruveeo 360-degree cam ($139.99): It has dual front and rear cameras, night vision and automatically saves footage of a crash.

That’s how many “immersive” movies exist for Apple’s $3,499 Vision Pro. How awful. Turns out filming in 3D isn’t cheap (paywall link). Until Apple figures out how to mass-produce this stuff, you’re basically buying a 4K souvenir from the future. Wait until 2027 for the cheaper model and more movies.

One of the saddest things about following tech is how transient everything is. Today’s hot commodity can become yesterday’s garbage in a matter of weeks, and the cycle is inevitable for any kind of device once enough time has passed.
