"Hello this is Amish and I have here for you today a guide for setting up this random networking service for a specific linux distro"

Such a classic 😁

Thanks to the Indian guy who showed me how to replace the back of my smartphone. πŸ€—

shoutouts to the Indian guys who post niche programming algorithms tutorials.

[–] r_ffer23 24 points 2 years ago

Yeah. Back when I needed help with programming homework, there was always that reliable dude from India.

Luckily they started talking instead of having some Beat-Style music and an Editor Window they type into.

I was going to replace a top on a convertible but had never done something that involved before. I found two channels that showed top replacement for the specific year an model. The first with several thousand subs was in English and had instructions like "OK, remove the valence panel", then skip to the panel lying on the ground..... Where are the bolts and clip points so I don't break them?!?!?!? Second channel had one or two subs and spoke no English but he took the camera and pointed at every bolt and clip location and communicated everything I needed to get it done.

I accidentally factory reset a VFD, which has hundreds of configurable options, and only by the grace of potato-quality tech youtubers, I was able to find a small handful of configs to make it work again.

Bless you Pradesh and your obscure ebike battery teardown, you are a credit to humanity.

A lovely southern USA gentleman showed me how to rejigger the video cable in my laptop (it had gotten pinched and was flickering intermittently). He also gently chidded the other video showing how to take apart the same laptop for doing it the hard way. The other video was a wonderful descent into cursing.

had to replace the motor on my very old washer, found 1 video filmed but a retired guy and he made his wife hold the camera the whole time.

Sounds like the same guy who taught me how to tear-down and clean my lawnmower's carburetor. Appreciate that man

Sometimes not even a accent. There is always that dude who keeps alt tabbing to the text document where he types things out for you.

β€œI want to get into amateur radio, I sure wish there was a video that intuitively explained the fundamental workings of frequency modulation and RF transmission”

Idk why but I can't really follow YouTube tutorials. Written ones are much much better for me.

[–] JohnDClay 2 points 2 years ago

I'm sure there will be an AI that converts from video to instructions. For me it's really hard to find the part that I'm having difficulty with. I'm fine with most of it, there's just one step I need clarified

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I find these videos so relaxing, like ASMR

Double bonus, I learn something!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Thank you to the 2 minute video that helped me prove to my boyfriend that tidepods do not belong in the washing machine’s soap container. …. And for informing me that I should have been putting them in first and not on top. πŸ˜…

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Solved networking issues and many more things this way, bless those tiny channels that no one uses!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I owe my thanks to all the indian tutorials on math and algorythms, that were still better at explaining the problem than my proffesor, even though half of the tutorial was in hindy.

Sometimes it’s a YouTuber who makes windows movie maker style tutorials using every transition effect they can find

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I always make sure to award those videos if they have it set up

This was me today trying to figure out how to set up a dedicated server for Sons of the Forest. Busted mic man blew threw everything but that 6min tutorial was immensely helpful in helping me install everything before I broke my modem by tweaking the static ipv4 settings πŸ‘

For me, chatgpt replaced them.
