Amazing video by Technology Connections. It's a long one, but don't miss his 30 minute angry rant at the end.

Ooh nice! Does he have other videos like this or is it all computers and stuff?

[–] Subtracty@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago

He has a lot of videos focused on home appliances. Some that come to mind are toasters, dishwashers, heat pumps, and an entire series on Christmas lights. Breaks everything down with lots of tips for better home use (because no one reads the manuals on thise things).

Lots of great stuff, lots of retro tech and common how it works stuff. His dishwasher video makes it so there is no reason to wash things by hand pretty much ever.

As someone on reddit said, "I could disappear bodies in my dishwasher."

If you ever wanted to learn about latent heat of transformation, your cup runneth over.

He hasn't done any videos on computers, AFAIK. His channel covers a wide range of topics, from washing machines, car blinkers, heaters, refrigerators, to christmas lights. You can see his backlog here.

I highly recommend the series on the CED and the downfall of RCA. He's also got a number of videos about various cameras which are also great!
