oh hey, unironic thanks for making this thread. i was thinking of making one myself but i couldnt figure out how to not make a super-bloated pyf-style op.  anyways, one of the cool electronics youtubers i follow, Fran Blanche, recently figured out that she's been effectively shadowbanned by youtube so her videos never get recommended/suggested and only her subscribers see them (probably because she refuses to monetize her channel but it's youtube so who the gently caress knows). you should definitely check her out if you're into vintage 60s-80s electronics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmWg7CtN0Ac https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yusrrOPM43o i can also recommend Matthias Burger, a German carpenter who restored his 15th-century house using mostly period-accurate carpentry techniques (though with modern tools): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-k0InKTP3Q0 he's basically a carpentry wizard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AS7BY4MNRb0

i think yospos can appreciate GameHut, a channel run by a 90s game programmer (who is still in the industry, though on the creative/design side) explaining the tricks he used in the games he worked on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXKs1ZSgMic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgjQzD8NI48

if you guys like Technology Connections you should make sure to watch the pre-Youtube version of that, The Secret Life of Machines which is available in full on Youtube. here's an episode that's relevant to the LED printer video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2NIAD5qn7E

GameHut has a new video on how crazy it was to program the Sega Saturn, with 2 CPUs, 2 GPUs, and a programmable DSP to juggle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvRG_v8XpC0 Druaga1 takes a look at two different beta versions of Windows 95. They work surprisingly well! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpajSsmxk7A

Nasty Old Randy posted:Itd be nice if Ben Heck didnt get fired or whatever. If you like rad women tinkering with electronics (and software) check out Scanlime (a.k.a. Micah Elizabeth Scott): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU6omrP2iFU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naA4G-VHo5c Her current big project is making a robotic camera that will follow her cat around her workshop while she streams using computer vision. She streams semi-regularly on her live channel. If you like vintage electronics give Mr. Carlson's Lab a try: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEFdADrU9MA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWXbdCz-AiY He mainly does in-depth (hours-long) restoration videos on vintage radios, audio amplifiers and test equipment.

GameHut theorizes what it would take to build a 2D PUBG-alike for vintage 16-bit consoles. It's actually really insightful into the kind of thinking you need to have in order to program for those systems. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Osju4QEuqOA Also Fran is getting evicted  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLBhwR_WWB4 Mr.Radar fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Oct 5, 2018 |

Youtube recently recommended me this video about some very early audio recordings from the 1880s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OD3ZmD_t5I Notably, it contains what is (most likely) the earliest recording of the work "gently caress" (14:00), the only known recording of Otto Von Bismark (29:20), and the only known recording of a person born in the 18th century (31:30). Clickspring is also back to embarrass the rest of us by effortlessly creating a masterpiece (while he takes a break from his project to recreate the Antikythera Mechanism using only techniques that would have been available to the ancient Greeks): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PwAQZNLy0I

The guy that brought you reverse-emulating the NES wrote a whole bunch of terrible chess AIs and played them against each other (and some actual chess engines) to see which ones are more and less terrible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpXy041BIlA (The comments are actually worth reading as they suggest additional interesting terrible strategies.)

Fran Blanche of Franlab gets a load of documents on the development of the IEE NIMO display tube she previously featured on her channel from a former employee who worked on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvN0t9yZds8 The prices adjusted for inflation are: 25:00 $20 = $147.05 $5 = $36.76 $6.75 = $49.63 $25 = $183.81 $4.17 = $30.66 $35 = $257.34 $3.50 = $25.73 28:30 $76.50 = $562.47 $96.50 = $709.52 $110 = $808.78 50:20 $205.05 = $1,507.64 $222.50 = $1635.94 It really makes you appreciate living in the age of ubiquitous and cheap high-resolution displays. (At the start of the pandemic I picked up a refurbished 1080p LCD for $60 which would have been $8.60 in 1968 dollars.)

The guy that was designing his own RISC-V CPU from scratch is back at it after his previous attempt failed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgXJf8c5PLo If you enjoyed Ben Eater's series on building a toy CPU from scratch and his series on building a toy 6502-based computer you will probably enjoy this series as well, assuming Robert can stick to it this time, since it will take pretty much all of those concepts and apply them to a "real" CPU that can run a real OS and real software (probably similar to the Magic-1 in functionality).

Normally I would not recommend Shango066's channel because he is prone to randomly (like once every 20 videos or so) making racist or transphobic "jokes" despite his excellent technical skills otherwise making him very good viewing. In this case, however, he's only in this video for the first minute and the rest of it is about as good a look as you can get at how independent (non-Clear Channel/iHeartRadio/Sinclair) commercial radio stations operate in the current day so please watch this one but be cautious about the rest of his channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4qgdRQjaoQ
