hey you. yeah, you! you wanna see an in-depth three-part video series about one very cool product, one bizarre product that's very cool in concept but incredibly poorly executed, and that same bizarre product but improved by a passionate nerd? yeah you do!

Getting to use my Maryland visor in the garden today thanks to the kind and lovely @gilmourtheapatosaur as part of our annual swap box type thing!

if you're interested in old tech, esp retrocomputing, watch Cathode Ray Dude. He's probably the best on yt. His videos are always thoroughly researched, present unique devices, and the complex topics are broken down so everyone could understand. Also he's extremely funny. The videos are mostly about the wild west era of computer tech innovations, when everyone tried to impress both consumers and investors. The end results are often... Really questionable.

This is prob my fav video. Simply insane:

I feel like since my linux post that blew up, a lot of people in that circle i now follow so i guess I'll post a bit more about tech. If you want longer form content of some guy talking about hardware (and a little software) for 40 minutes to 1 and a half hour i reccomend Cathode Ray Dude on youtube. I barely know what's being talked about but it's great as background noise if you're doing something else

The moment Windows 95 came out, people immediately knew what to do with it. They treated it like their living space, and that's why Windows 95 had such an indelible effect on culture. The reason so many people have this powerful brain bug about Windows 95 is [that] it was the first time that PCs felt like an old worn couch that you had gotten just the way you wanted it. We remember windows 95 as this house that we all once lived in. Yes, we moved out, but it was the first place that was ours.
