I could listen to an hour of him telling me how terrible I am and I'd still love it

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Love this channel, love that you guys over here love it as well. Thanks for being cool, beehaw.
I fucking love technology connections. Their videos are perfect to have on in the background and it’s super interesting to learn about the tiny details of things that just work in our everyday lives.
This is the kind of content I enjoy
Typical response from new visitors to his channel: "Why would I be interested in that?" followed by "Stayed for the whole fascinating video."
He has some serious skill when it comes to making absolutely anything interesting. 3 years ago I had no idea what a CED was, but after watching his 2 hour long 5-part documentary on this failed media format and its history, I now have a small collection of them.
An hour long video on a fridge, huh
Opening line. Okaaaaay. I'll check it out. Not like I don't need another video-essayist to add to my collection of Hbomberguy, Folding Ideas, etc.
Enjoy the backlog if you get a chance! He's got some good stuff.
His video on the "colour" brown is absolutely worth a watch!

I love this channel! There’s just something about going very in-depth on random appliances and things like that that’s just so entertaining to me lol
I love these videos!
I started watching his channel back when he did the turn signal video a few years ago. I was skeptical at first because I had seen his videos pop up in my recommended a few times and wasn't interested in them, but after giving it a chance I love his content and watch most of his videos all the way through.
The only videos I haven't watched in their entirety are the ones on subjects I'm already pretty familiar with. It's hard to sit through 40 minutes of information you already know, but they're excellent for learning about new topics.
The turn signal video is what got me too! After that one I’ve watched videos on so many things I didn’t think I’d care about at all. His chest freezer and heat pump ones have also directly influenced my life.
Haha I never knew a fridge video could be so engaging!
Hah was super excited to watch this, we have the mini version for storing drinks/frozen snacks in, they also make a microwave so we got it to match. They are pretty mediocre but they work and look great! I wouldn't advise using them as your primary appliances though lol.
