Fixed it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlgWsFJScU8I was able to rescue it entirely with editing! Rejoice.This is the final version which I'll be releasing tomorrow. The two edits begin at about 1:16:25 and 1:28:00; I essentially just cut out the conjecture about color increasing the complexity/bandwidt...
Oops
Thanks to an attentive viewer, I have been informed that I got the entire explanation of Bayer color filters wrong in the gray scanner video. This does a tremendous amount of damage to the narrative and I will probably have to reshoot a big chunk of it. Just wanted to let you know, in case anybody e...
Video: The Grey Scanner For Computer (Or: A Long And Incomplete History Of Scanning)
I absolutely did not intend for this to be an hour and forty minutes long but once I got to a certain point it just didn't make sense for it to be any shorter. It's basically two videos, but the thing doesn't make sense without the history and the history isn't meaningful without the...
Side channel: OPS module vlog
Haven't really done vlog style stuff in eons, didn't know if anyone would be interested, but I had a project to do yesterday and I figured it was a chance to talk at length about the whole OPS situation. That's been developing positively - I now have four of the modules and a fifth on th...
Video & update
Hey everyone, this is the finished version of little guys 8 which I'll be releasing tomorrow; I made a few adjustments and reshot a couple segments.Mostly I just wanted to let you know that it might be a bit before I make another "proper" video. Daria is dealing with a minor health probl...
Video: Little Guys Episode 6
This one was a slog; I find the topic absolutely fascinating, but perhaps as a result I struggled really hard to make it come out right. I shot this episode two monthsago, then proceeded to shoot two more littles guy after that (hence why I uploaded episodes 7 and 8 without a 6; this was 6) but it j...
Side video: Microscope machine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWROEp3GHp4Another side channel video. Hopefully nobody minds the Patreon notifications; these are definitely lower quality than my typical output but idk, I figure a lot of people just like hearing me talk.
Side channel video: Famiclone fire risk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZVcLDsDi0wThis one didn't go the way I wanted it to so it's not fit for a main channel video but I figured it was fit for a side channel release. gl;hf!
Video: Niveus Part 3: Hacking The Edge
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbDgSgHfcZwThis took SO MUCH LONGER THAN I EXPECTED and I made SO MANY MISTAKES.Let it be known that I almost screwed up incredibly badby trying to squeeze this whole process in at the end of the previous video. I was convinced, for some reason, that it would take lik...
Video: Niveus, Part 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjrcB2qMbYUI'll give this a proper title later, but: at long last, part two of the NiveusMedia saga arrives! And it's not quite the end, either; there will be a third video a bit later, but that one's a surprise. :)
Video: Little Guys Ep 4, Supplemental
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YbZNu0wasAThis one pretty much speaks for itself - I had a bunch of corrections and additions in re: the last video, enough for a whole video on its own. It actually ended up being pretty fun!
Video: The Best "Laptop" Ever Made
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OO5hYhdxIukI'd be lying if I said I didn't make this in response to another video but I'll take the specifics to my grave.This computer is genuinely incredibly cool and I love it. It was also backbreaking to produce, so: please enjoy!
Video: Little Guys Ep 7
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFSlkQS31n8In which I disassemble a cop-puter. Not the loveliest subject but the machine has a few interesting qualities. There's one significant correction I have to add before release, which is that the spring mechanism is clearly meant to press the CPU against ...
Video: Quick Start: Episode 7
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssob-7sGVWsComing up with a thumbnail or title for this one is gonna be fun. I have no idea how to foreshadow any of this nonsense concisely, this computer has two egregious hacks that defy most brief explanations. I'll figure it out after the weekend I guess.I...
Videos: Two (more) of them
Little Guys: Ep 4 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOEz3E0k9F8Little Guys: Ep 5 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEHKo8M_FMgBonus "Purr Edit" of ep5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1gfl2HS1qAI am a little concerned about posting too many of these but, you know, I shot em, so I should pos...
Video(s): Three Of Them
So here's something new, or rather, three new things:Li'l Guys ep 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kldj_NmR7ooLi'l Guys ep 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2_X0FS2e4oChecking out a Vaio C1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6257z3lui8Okay, so, so, let me explain. It's complicated...
Video: Little Guys, Episode 1
This is a new series I'm starting that's intended to be cozy, unscripted and low effort. I'm not planning on retiring the studio or anything, but I really need to do more videos that don't require all that setup and prep or I'm gonna burn out, plus it's actually harder to use...
Video: yet-untitled DVD player teardown
Haven't named this one yet but I'm so tired of editing it - I just want to release it, I'll name it later. I bought a DVD player basically sight-unseen, mostly because it had a silly name, then sat down to shoot a video about it that was basically just... "here's this thing with ...
Video: Quick Start Gaiden: Episode 2
This was honestly one of the more fun episodes I've made in a while. That's kinda just the size of it. Enjoy!
The Crab Rave Edit 🦀
Completely forgot to upload this after the last thrift store video (though the response to that one was so mixed I kinda just wanted to forget it, I guess.) This is not a cinematic masterpiece but I said I was gonna share it so here it is. 🦀
Scrapped: Thrift Store Kit
There's a category of video I thought would be a lot more common when I set up my Patreon tiers, and that's "finished, perfectly watchable, but just not what I wanted, so it's going in the trash." As it's turned out however, when I'm not satisfied with a video, it's u...
Video: Niveus Media Center
I was going to come up with a better name for this and a thumbnail and stuff and maybe even release it publicly today but then my power went out. Here's a video everyone lmk what you thinkhttps://youtu.be/Y2OPrGBxkD0
Video: Two Thrifts And A Computer Store
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4HAqGrJFCUAs noted in the video this was just intended as an exercise to test a new camera, but I ended up with enough footage to make a video. I was a little uncertain whether I'd get any weird looks walking into stores with a camera around my neck, though that&...
Video: System Commander: Paying $60 For GRUB
This one took me an astonishing length of time to create since I just kept having to reshoot things, partly because I kept finding new dimensions to this program's limitations. I hope you enjoy it. Below is an essay about why I haven't done more videos on software.Every time someone tells me...
Video: Thriftmas 2023
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGbHD65z4AkHey everyone. I have been completely overwhelmed by the support you've all shown me, and I was going to the thrift store anyway, so here's a video about that to help you burn 40 minutes of dreary family gathering time. Here's hoping you remember...
Health updates
Hey everyone, just wanted to check in and let you know how I'm doing. I don't want to post gruesome details here, but suffice to say, I spoke to my surgeon's office today and, phew, I was proper sick as it turns out. But they say my recovery is perfectly on track... Except that I misunde...
And we're back
Will update when I'm feeling better but I made it.
Health situation
So, the last month has been very difficult, and progress on my next video has been very slow, and partly that's due to some weird health issues I've been experiencing. In a definitely unrelated event, I am currently waiting to get an appendectomy. It's not clear if this could be the caus...
Toasting in progress
There's probably not going to be a video for another week at least, because I have decided to start tackling the Video Toaster. Please pray for me.I have the feeling I'm going to end up producing over four hours of material on this subject spread across several videos, because it is tremendo...
Video: Weird Processors
Workshopping the name etc on this one. I've been having a really rough time the last few weeks with health issues and other stuff, hopefully things will get better soon, but I decided I couldn't put everything on hold indefinitely so I went ahead and wrote and shot this video entirely while ...
