  1. too bad, I've always wondered what the +/- thing was all about but never cared quite enough to look it up.

  2. I never had one of these things... but the sounds still remind me of the 90s.

  3. lol what? the ipod wasn't popular because of itunes... it was popular because it had enormous storage for the time... like GB compared to MB. it was like a portable hard drive before portable hard drives were popular.

  4. does 10% really matter to the average person though? does humidity really matter to the average person for that matter?

  5. looks like a red plasma bulb...

  6. now hold your horses... are you tellin me that little disk contains both sounds AND pictures?!

  7. I hate waking up cold >.<

  8. I was excited about fiber optic audio until I realized it was limited to digitally encoded signals... and lol, gold plated connectors.

  9. you forgot the rest of the laws regarding the operation of a motor vehicle that requires you to maintain a distance between yourself and the vehicle in front of you that would allow you to react to things such as them slowing down...

  10. so... why didn't they just skip red lasers and do straight to blue?

  11. I actually wasn't going to... people have managed to dry things for thousand of years without one. I'll give you this though; you've certainly made a name for yourself talking about pretentious crap no one actually cares about!

  12. heh, that's clever.

  13. oh ya, that's what truck drivers want... a bunch of idiots in little EVs pulling out in front of them at the truck stops >.>

  14. ya, film masters are like 1000k (if analog medium had such measurements)... imax is like 1000x that.

  15. we all know VHS won because it had all the porn...

  16. idk how far I'd trust chinese vermiculite... could easily see someone deciding it's a good place to hide vermiculite with high asbestos content...

  17. I mean... if you care that much about your toast you can just use a toaster oven and watch your bread brown.

  18. who needs 4k security footage? really...

  19. WHY ARE LIGHTS ORANGE?! WHY DOES YOUTUBE RECOMMEND THIS TO ME 3 YEARS LATER?! BECAUSE IT'S SODIUM!!!!!!! SODIUM IS A LIE!!!

  20. who the hell watches youtube blind?! not to mention how?! like an amputee in a marathon...

  21. and the stove is almost definitely on 240v power... so I guess it's not all about the voltage. that being said, you'd think they could easily make an oven with a 240v outlet built into it for kettles...

  22. what do you mean not that far off? the laser disk is so washed out :S
    1
  23. how do blind people find the videos then?
    1
  24. I'd assumed it was some outdated legacy thing... manufacturing is even less interesting.
    1
  25. so... are these things fast enough to actually prevent a fatal shock? like... the current would have to flow through you for them to activate so you've already got a shock?

  26. whoever said they were digital doesn't know what digital means...
    1
  27. didn't think you were supposed to touch HID bulbs with your bare hands...
    1
  28. totally agree you don't need 4k or slow motion shots... most people are watching this on a phone and can't even perceive that resolution and slow motion shots for the sake of slow motion shots are just pretentious. also look into a cooling dock... "there's a dock for that". (then next thing you know it's a modular desktop)

  29. 47:30 I was just thinking about this randomly(as I do) and realized how stupid of an idea this actually is... if I'm unfortunate enough to have an electric car and the power goes out I'd be saving 100% of the power in that thing in case I need to do something important with it like say... go get good, or go to the hospital >.> or maybe where you are the power never goes out for more than 10 minutes at a time? cuz here it can last days.

  30. you point out another big problem with EVs... unlike gas stations which generally have staff there to ensure things are working and they can sell gas they just stick these EV charging stations at malls and such where no one has any idea or interest in keeping them working.

  31. well played. you have won the favor of the internet.

  32. should do a video about EM fields... it can be fun to just wander around the house with an out of tune radio and pick up what's putting off massive fields of radiation... especially things like monitors and air contitioners. also amend it with a definition of radiation.

  33. up next on technology connections: how you can reduce your power bill by hooking a bicycle up to a generator

  34. being eccentric... good for you.

  35. really? it's amazing that people are making videos accessable to blind people? maybe just make a podcast...

  36. if you microwave bacon you deserve to have your house burn down...

  37. heh, one of my highschool shop teachers had a vintage one of these. sometimes just out of nowhere you'd hear "AOOOGA!!!" :P his was about 8" around though and therefore the pitch was slightly lower. yours is just a little sharp.  they also had piston rings out of a ship that were like 2' around, a small engine with a section cut out of the casing, and a bunch of other interesting mechanical things. great class.

  38. longer lasting? isn't the oldest light bulb that's been lit for like 100 years a carbon filament? wait what? the sodium tube is made from space windows?

  39. it's just the mechanism engaging... idk why this is a question. and get outta here with your enormous european plugs.

  40. first off... who cares about sharp edges? are you reaching into cans of soup to grab out some sort of prize? I've never had an issue. nor with the lip other than on pull-tab cans which isn't a can opener so not really a point. I always found these type of can openers silly. they offer no significant advantage over traditional can openers while being more complicated, harder to clean and any I've seen use a lot more plastic in their construction so less durable.

  41. well the type ball seems to be spring loaded to return to a defined starting position after each character, so it's not like it needs to actually track it's position or anything... it's just like a table of rotation values and probably a stepper motor.

  42. I'll stick with my radioactive smoke detector and mercury tilt switch themostat thanks.

  43. except I have a fan that goes 0,1,2,3... so obviously the can be made that way... for no other reason than to confuse me.

  44. ya... this is the sort of video you'd make... even before watching it I know.

  45. good ol days playing GBC huddled around the light in the car or something...

  46. when did this channel turn into just ranting about how you can't find the tech that fits your pedantic needs?
    1
  47. og the multiple possible ways it could work I'm not actually sure which one is used TBH! I'm just repeatedly amazed by the mechanical solutions people came up with before they just programmed a computer to do it...
    1
  48. so the problem is people plug too much shit into extension cords? they've been telling people not to do that for years... but you could plug like 10 25w lightbulbs into that and it'd be fine if you had 10 tiny lamps... so don't be stupid stupid! edit: besides there's nothing at all stopping people from daisy-chaining extension cords... so there's no point in trying to make extension cords with thicker wire.

  49. so what's the difference between dishwasher detergent and laundry detergent?

  50. lol don't tell people they can just remove the screws from door closers with an alan wrench and ruin them...
