If the video embed is as broken for you as it is for me, here are the videos in the post:

(seems fine on mobile but broken on desktop, if It gets fixed and I’m just cluttering up the thread let me know)

I can’t even imagine how much disk space such attempt would require. I took around 10 videos clips from a drag race event on Saturday (each lasting ~20 seconds) using my phone’s camera and now Google says that my storage space is full.

I was going to say that he didn’t seem to have done much with his life, given the huge amount of white space where I guess some videos were supposed to be. :wink:

Thanks! Same problem, here. Just a long stretch of blank screen on Chrome running on a Mac.

I’m on mobile and the embedded video wasn’t working for me, either. Thanks.

Laptop drives!?!?! JFC. (I do hope those were just props and now how he was dealing with the footage)

At this stage of my life I could do a lot of this just by recording with OBS as I spend a lot of time in social VR.
The few times I left the tap running and left things recording for a day the files were a bit large and hard to deal with.

So… It’s just a custom video player. Just going to watch first person videos in VR which you can already do. Apparently my Google photos library is a real life time machine.

Over 30 terabytes of data collected, with a good portion it recorded in the bathroom.

Welcome! Your observation is quite valid, of course. The reality and effectiveness of a ‘time machine’ varies by definitions of ‘time’ and ‘machine’. :wink:
