You've missed a perfect opportunity for "through the magic of making two of them"

Nice brown square you got there, it'd be a shame if someone was using light mode right now

I'm a simple man

I see Technology Connections - I upvote

[–] [email protected] 76 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (4 children)

I see people talking about upvoting Technology Connections, I upvote.

His dishwasher video changed my life.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

Hah, same here. The dishwasher video was my beginning with his channel. I adore is dry humor, and informative nature!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

It has made my dishes cleaner and my grocery trips more frustrating

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

alright, never heard of him. everyone on this thread seems to love his channel. Blindly subscribed so I'll watch the dishwasher video later, I'm intrigued now.

Had a lamp in the garage I was planning to donate when I could. It had been sitting there for 4 years unused because it was incompatible with a lamp shade and too damn bright no matter what bulb I used.

Saw the technology conextras (his second channel) video on DIY milk glass, now that lamp is the only light I use in the office, I love it!

[–] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago

This was literally my internal monologue coming into this comment section. I love Technology Connections!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I upvote it twice. By magic!

I’d let him press my popcorn button.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

ha you did see the video? :D

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago

I may have started looking for a 2004 Sharp Carousel Multi due to this video.

Through the power of buying two of them!

[–] [email protected] 31 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Seriously he's one of my favorite YouTubers

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Got turned on to his channel about a month ago, been watching non stop

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

His vinyl record episode was great. As an audiophile I truly appreciated learning how it works.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

I've got a playlist of all the videos I've already seen and I play it for background noise when I'm doing a task that I don't want silence for but also don't want music. Something about the pacing and cadence of his videos is strangely relaxing.

I'm far from the target audience, I never thought I'd be interested in learning the difference between DVD+R and DVD-R, but he had me and my history loving arse with gas lamps, and I got hooked.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I heard that and I was like thank god for the day the algorithm suggested this channel to me. What a gem!

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Hey @[email protected] , you're a meme now.

(Come on fediverse, do your stuff!)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (6 children)

Hmm, this works…

But had to use DuckDuckGo from a browser - Memmy (iOS) was no help searching. More testing needed on my end.

In the spirit of Alec's pedentry, I must mention that lube does not work by making things moist, instead it works by reducing friction and preventing direct contact between solids. Oil based lubes are a prime example of this as they contain very little water and therefore is ineffective at making things moist but is still effective at reducing friction. Water by itself is actually a pretty bad lube.

Also we're talking about machine lube right? ...right?

Did you get this suggestion on YouTube 2 days ago?!?? It was so random and I like popcorn so I watched all the way through. Seeing this as a meme now is an odd coincidence.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 11 months ago

I mean, I subscribe to his channel so I didn't find it that weird. I do love popcorn too though.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (5 children)

Well, he made that dishwasher video a few years ago, sooo...

[–] [email protected] 24 points 11 months ago (1 children)

But to understand dishwashers, let’s first discuss heat pumps.

IDK this guy, but I've watched this video 😂

[–] [email protected] 37 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Technology Connections, and all his videos are as good as that one

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago

"you're gonna be mad at your toaster!"

And damned if I wasn't.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Since this is lemmy, I'll take your recommendation blindly.

I love his stuff. Each video I've watched has always started with "why the crap would I even care about this subject, but what the hell [play]", and ended with me sitting at the edge of my seat, after laughter and intrigue. I love his stuff.

Alec Watson! Nice to see him getting memed. He lives like an hour from me in Lombard. I love Technology Connections.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Still got his channel in my youtube backlog so to speak.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

Oof I envy you. I've seen my first video 1-2 years ago (the rice cooker one) and ever since I've watched all of his Videos (some three times) I'd love to get to experience all of them anew.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Lucky you. I've run out of his videos to watch.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

This one came back up in my algorithm too!
