We are back with a new selection of videos to tickle your fancy. These videos are not all from this week, but they all made us laugh or caused our jaws to drop recently. Enjoy!

In the video below, a man confronts the one of the most common problems that a golfer faces: what to do when a giant alligator climbs up onto the fairway and gets in the way of an otherwise impressive lie. It has happened to us all. Check out the somewhat unorthodox, but effective solution.


Kilian Martin dominates his skateboards

There have been a ton of skate videos on the intertubes over the last few years, which makes sense—after all, what better medium to share a series of short, but impressive movements than the internet, which loves short, impressive things.

Whiskey tango horse trailer

As a native of Kansas I can only shake my head in shame at this ridiculous video from my home state of people being idiots and jamming a horse into a car. It’s a horse!

Now, horse trailers are expensive and all, but there is a point where practicality just can’t justify pure stupidity. Although the video below seems to disagree.

macOS Tahoe 26 public beta running on the M4 MacBook Air 15

If you've been putting off that macOS update sitting in your notifications, this is the week to stop and install it. 

Apple quietly patched a serious screen sharing flaw in macOS earlier this month. While that usually means the issue is resolved, new evidence shows hackers already broke into unpatched Macs, hijacked them, and used them for cryptocurrency mining before the fix shipped.

Building a robot supply chain from scratch takes years that Washington isn't giving anyone.
LG CLOiD Home Robot

The FCC has a track record of using its Covered List to squeeze Chinese tech out of American markets, and robots just became its newest target. Foreign-made humanoids, quadrupeds, and even robot vacuums now need to be mostly built in the U.S. to sell here (via Rest of World). 

So what does the new rule actually require?

Acer just dropped a MacBook Neo rival with a better display, memory, and ports
MacBook Neo’s latest Windows rival brings more RAM, more storage, and 120Hz display
Acer Go Air is the new MacBook Neo rival from Windows

Apple’s MacBook Neo has quickly become the laptop that inexpensive Windows machines have to answer. Acer’s latest Go Air has apparently decided that the best response is to start ticking off some of the hardware Apple left behind.

Acer has launched a new Go Air configuration in China powered by Intel’s recently released Core 5 320 processor. It comes with 12GB of LPDDR5 memory and a 512GB SSD for CNY 5,499, which converts to roughly $815. Global availability for this specific configuration hasn’t been announced, though it appears to be practically identical to the Acer Swift 14 that was showcased during Computex 2026.
