Shaggar posted:idk if i posted this already but i like watching this guy fix pinball machines: lol, yeah this guy rules and got me into electronics again. total hick (not a bad thing) and seems to actually respect people and have self awareness. hope he doesn’t turn out to be a closet rear end in a top hat. I like the technical videos but the ones of him playing “big buck hunter” us all rolling in laughter. confirmed!

Good Sphere posted:this is cool af. original, 1978 Midway Space Invaders being debugged because there's a sound that it isn't playing. i always forget much of this stuff is built right into the hardware. just a mini spoiler: he opens up the machine, starts a game and triggers the sound effects by grounding different pins on a few different chips. around 17:54 he goes onto explain he needs to start a game first, and then triggers the pins, but if you're inclined, it's worth watching the whole thing big agree joes classic video games is a pro click. he’s funny as hell a lot of the time and explains stuff pretty darn well from a troubleshooting standpoint. he doesn’t know how half the stuff works and doesn’t care. just wants to fix it. he’s like CuriousMarc’s opposite but in a good way. both of them are awesome. I want a pinball machine or arcade game so bad now

This is sort of a double post from the electronics thread, but thought people might not mind I've been learning electronics in earnest for the past year or so and started a cheat sheet with a bunch of youtube channels. I hate google, but you really can't beat youtube for this kind of stuff. I like it so much I actually subscribed to premium recently. With the family plan it's not such a bad deal. Anyway, here's a list I made, might be helpful if you're looking for something new. If I'm missing some great educational ones, let me know. also, If anyone you see on the list is a complete rear end in a top hat, let me know so I can unsubscribe and take them off the list Electronics CuriousMarc literally got me back into studying electronics https://www.youtube.com/c/CuriousMarc Electroboom is so entertaining... and if you keep up with what he says, I'm pretty sure he knows his stuff and/or you'll learn a lot. I know I did. https://www.youtube.com/c/Electroboom I have to put this here... not only are some of the vids really helpful to understanding the physics behind electricity, but some others are bat-poo poo insane like check this poo poo out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Tm2c6NJH4Y&t=85s https://www.youtube.com/user/EugeneKhutoryansky So good... maker of the breadboard 6502 thing https://www.youtube.com/c/BenEater Holy crap is this guy really good to learn from. https://www.youtube.com/user/w2aew Notes for each of his videos can be found here: https://www.qsl.net/w/w2aew/youtube/ unsubscribe from EEVBLOG, Dave's a racist shithead https://www.youtube.com/c/EevblogDave Big Clive rules... mostly teardowns and reverse engineering https://www.youtube.com/c/Bigclive Necroware: watch a guy bring old retro computer hardware back to life and design stuff to help do just that. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKU5nwSWYXa3xfXGBlKyvdw Epictronics: same as above, but does a lot more test and lab equipment https://www.youtube.com/c/Epictronics1 iz8dwf: Vintage electronics, amateur radio, etc. https://www.youtube.com/c/iz8dwf Andre Spiess: The guy with the swiss accent.

Sweevo posted:I cannot listen to the EEVBlog guy. His voice is super irritating and his videos are 3x longer than they need to be because he can't stop waffling. Some of the teardowns are interesting if they're old gear, but often it's modern five-figure test equipment so the video is just him pointing at black rectangular ASICs for 30 minutes. spankmeister posted:I unfollowed EEVBlog Dave a long time ago, because of the things you mentioned. He has interesting content but waffles on and on and on, and also he's a chud. Thanks to you both for letting me know. I've put a note on the original post to unsubscribe from him and I'm removing him from my cheat sheet that I copy paste. Also of course, I'm personally unsubscribing. gently caress racists

Jim Silly-Balls posted:I'm sure that this has been posted, but this guy and a team of nerds are fixing, rebuilding, powering on and attempting to use the comms equipment from an Apollo spaceship oh yeah, CuriousMarc is one of the channels that got me into watching YouTube for content. Got me into electronics as a hobby as well. Defining moments that blew my mind: while he was getting the network card on a xerox alto working, he had the inventor of Ethernet stop by to take a look. in another episode, he was working on some ancient HP plotter/printer. there was an issue with a dip switch, so he took the thing apart and cleaned it/fixed it. had to be at most a 50-cent part but he kept it original he definitely lives up to his name

polyester concept posted:is there a reliable way to block youtube ads on my phone or tv yet? it seems like people are using pi hole for this but it a lot of the guides are from several years ago, and people claim that certain methods don't work anymore, plus it looks like you still have to do a lot of manual janitoring to maintain a bespoke block list. I just want to set it and forget it, and have somebody else do the hard work of playing cat and mouse with google. subscribe to YouTube premium is the only way I know how

this might be the right thread to ask to any Physicists out there who understand relativity, space time and gravity: this video calls out a bunch of other YouTube videos about the cause of gravity. I’m not sure I understand it all but is it correct? https://youtu.be/PjT85AxTmI0 I’d really like to know

Dijkstracula posted:same, but it probably isn't as good as Sean Carroll's pandemic lockdown lecture on the subject thanks for this, I’ll take a look for sure BlankSystemDaemon posted:It's "fine" to say that other YouTube videos of understanding of gravity is lacking, because unless there's been a pretty radical change in the scientific community - which we would almost certainly have heard about, given the big impact it'd have had - it's pretty fair to say that nobody understands gravity. this is what I thought… I (somewhat) understand the concept of action at a distance and how gravity doesn’t fit into any current unification theory. I’ve read “In search of Schrödinger’s Cat” and “the God Particle”, lol recently I watched a couple of those other vids and was surprised they seemed able to explain it. their argument seems to boil down to: Gravity is caused by differing time dilation with respect to the observer the video I linked says that’s not it, and fair enough. I just thought maybe our understanding had changed and I hadn’t been notified in accordance with the physics phone tree we all agreed to

similar to the loudness wars, an older guy once told me that radio stations would turn up the speed on records they were playing ever so slightly in order to make the music feel peppier anyway, have an educational YouTube I found recently: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8i-4EpLBXMzekETNXwcZjA/videos

super stoked to watch it… if anyone has any more high quality video essayists that are good, speak up. they don’t have to be tech. I feel like I’ve been living under a rock because I recently found Dan Olsen at FoldingIdeas and HBomberguy and Sarah7… binge watched a lot of that and now I’m looking for more!

YT is almost all i watch if it’s just me nowadays. wish there were other platforms. are any of the ones that do exist any good? for content, just found this channel. his hydrogen bomb video drew me in, hopefully the rest are pretty good too. it’s hard to differentiate physics from magic sometimes: https://youtube.com/@ArvinAsh

posting on “the answer” page hope these aren’t reposts AES encryption explained: https://youtu.be/C4ATDMIz5wc?si=SZ4NdB6sliDUHsPj kind of oversells it but interesting: https://youtu.be/fFoYPj3Ntzc?si=nkiasaXXoT4i5jqZ above reminds me of an episode of a British show that did a similar thing with a moped for a city delivery service. I think the show was called Planet Mechanics or something? two mechanics solving problems in a somewhat sustainable way, mostly from scratch. I liked it

cant watch more than a few seconds right now… but is it the Gaussian copula? there was a wired(?) article right after 2008 that did an awesome job of explaining the significance of it and how it played a part in the crisis. I’ll have to check it out later.
