Kind of tired watching trash from YT.

Edit: Thanks for all the replies. It's good to see that there are still gems in YouTube.

Ben Eater. He’s been explaining the low level details of how computers work. Literally building a functioning computer from nothing but a cpu and a breadboard. Incredibly good explanations.

I learned more from that guy than I did from the "intro to computer engineering" class I took for my CS degree.

I started in the industry doing 6502 assembly language programming and I’m still learning a ton from him!

I mean, he also built a functioning CPU on breadboards.

One of my favorite video series on youtube

And for those who have watched all Ben Eater's videos, I highly recommend James Sharman's 8 Bit CPU from scratch playlist. I'ts a bit less step-by-step-tutorial, but it covers more ground than Ben.

In the same vein, check out CuriousMarc, especially the series about restoring an Apollo Guidance Computer to working order. (They actually finish up by simulating a moon landing.)
