If you ever are in Paris, I can't recommend the Musee des Arts et Metiers enough.
I believe they have the several reference platinum kilograms that are now out of spec. [1]
they also have the original actual Foucault pendulum that was used to demonstrate Earth's rotation. (and a replica doing a live demo, of course)
They have so many incredible artifacts (for weights and measures but also so much more: engineering, physics, civil engineering, machining,...)

On the topic of tricking the automated phone usage detection cameras this youtuber had an entertaining video where he built a car phone holder by molding his hand and making a replica.

I suspect hiding the manufacturer/model was very much on purpose, they blurred the markings on the PCB and hid the domain name for the manufacturer's API calls (and in the console logs as well).

H.I. Sutton did a great video [1] about it that also explains how it was beneficial due to the way enemy submarines had to estimate speed and heading and could get fooled.

This article has good background, context, and explanations [1] They skipped CUDA and instead used PTX which is a lower level instruction set where they were able to implement more performant cross-chip comms to make up for the less-performant H800 chips.

the "World's longest song" is from John Cage, called As Slow As Possible and is played continuously on an organ in a church in Germany.
It will be completed in the year 2640.

It's been a big pain for Tesla as well, where their tiny 8GB emmc on the center screen would fail since they logged to it too much... 134,000 vehicles recalled eventually after they denied it was an issue.
