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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (4 children)

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

His dishwasher video changed my life.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

That was good, not in the US and my bosch dishwasher only has one dispenser I already moved from tablets to powder a while ago, now I'm going to experiment with a sprinkle of powder in the main compartment, to help with the pre wash.

This is why I love lemmy thanks everyone

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 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I upvote it twice. By magic!

I’d let him press my popcorn button.

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

ha you did see the video? :D

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (2 children)

Seriously he's one of my favorite YouTubers

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

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year 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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

(Come on fediverse, do your stuff!)

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] 34 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (5 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

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

And damned if I wasn't.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

This one came back up in my algorithm too!
