AN ENGINEER BUILT A WEBSITE WHERE YOU CAN SIT AT ELIZABETH HOLMES' DESK

An engineer named Bo Lau built a website that sits you down at Elizabeth Holmes' desk circa 2016, back when Theranos was worth billions and the blood machine only worked if nobody watched. You can open her MacBook Air, scroll her iPhone and run a simulated Edison, with more than 1,000 emails, texts, slides and court documents from United States v. Elizabeth Holmes loaded in. The period detail is where it gets uncomfortable. The phone has a home button, you swipe across the screen to get in, and the laptop is running OS X El Capitan. It is a museum exhibit for a crime scene that mostly consisted of PowerPoints. Then comes the heel turn. Lau works at Extend, and the whole thing promotes a watch party the company is hosting for Nathan Fielder's upcoming Holmes documentary, "You Can See Everything," plus Extend's own document-parsing software. A startup built a monument to the most famous fraud in Silicon Valley history to move units of a PDF tool. Holmes would respect the hustle. The annoying part is that it genuinely works. Clicking around a fake 2016 desktop is an easier way through the trial record than digging thousands of separate files out of court websites.

Why you should give a shit: A marketing stunt turned the entire Theranos evidence pile into something a normal person can actually read, and the fake Edison on that desk already runs better than the real one ever did.
