There's a good Linus video where he tours around iJustine's house/mansion and he finds that her data backup solution is just a shitload of external hard drives and none of it is organized. He builds her some NAS thing.

I like Linus's "TechQuickie" videos because they're pretty loving simple explanations about standards and poo poo that I use everyday but chalk up to magic, like PCI-E, USB, etc. I absolutely can not stand his main channel and that's because he's so heavily involved with Intel that I think it handcuffs his ability to tell them off at a time when they desperately need it. I watch another channel sometimes called TechSource which is basically a dude investing his wealth in computer aesthetics judging people's computer rooms (fortunately he never calls them "battlestations" which is the worst loving aauuugh). I started watching Setup Wars because an IKEA opened in my city and it's basically like IKEA Pornography for people who spend a lot of time at a keyboard.

Yeah TechQuickie is great. A couple little issues here or there, but genuinely informative. Linus apparently also has a channel about just his cats, which is a treat. I liked these two videos of Tech Jesus exploring Tech Heaven Market: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgNirAOLRDQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPTfhqKHg3s

A sense of humour is required unless of course you think the height of humour is "there are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who dont" but then again this is SH/SC soooo.... Linus may not be the smartest you tuber out there and his personality is a bit annoying at times, but he does at least produce informative videos with good production quality. I would love to see Linus play with real enterprise hardware or not make lovely RAID arrays, but aside from the annoying personality I like Linus' videos.

Not bad Youtube, only took me 5 times of flagging not interested and 5 page refreshes to get rid of Linus in my recommendations just because I subbed a retro PC channel. ...and now he's back again in the list.

Linus is pretty good though I do hate that he went the clickbait type thumbnail route. If you want some nostelgia tv type shows there is tekthing hosted by Patrick Norton https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6sWaC11f4mxnizvOroOvkQ/videos As well as The New Screen Savers with Leo Laporte https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFP9Euhwi3GqbQmWS-M-0hA/videos Though both of these get under 10k views per video so not really sure how they stay afloat.

I find his video interesting since I used to work as a test engineer and it's very education how he debugs various macbook problems using tools like circuit diagram tracing. He did a joint video with Linus on BGA rework https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Shn7LdIrViQ

Kreez posted:I like a lot of Linus videos because he shows an awful lot of his fuckups and how he fixes them on camera, and I find that the best way to really learn about something. Similarly, I find industrial/enterprise stuff more interesting than consumer stuff, and he's the only guy I know of on YT who dips into enterprise stuff every now and then from the perspective of someone who doesn't deal with the stuff all day, and it makes those videos far more approachable and interesting to me, someone who doesn't touch computers for a living. Strange Parts is a great series for people more interested into things like manufacturing and also the hilarity of his Iphone improvement projects like adding back in the headphone jack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHP-OPXK2ig

Linus managed to find a YouTuber even dumber and cringier than himself to do a collaboration with, which resulted in the fire department being called after they set off a smoke grenade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCZWT0BLqAA In cringe-free news, vintage technology YouTuber CuriousMarc has completed a full restoration of his vintage 1950s Teletype. Despite being built in the 1950s the design is virtually unchanged from the 1930s and is dieselpunk as gently caress (it decodes the Baudot code using only a single electromagnet and a complex arrangement of mechanical linkages). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NuvwndwYSY

I know it seems like I rag on Linus a lot in this thread, but I do genuinely enjoy most of his content. That said, his latest video about RISC-V gets pretty much every technical detail about CPUs and operating systems so wrong I'm not sure if you could be more wrong on purpose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8jqGOgCy5M
