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

[-] Dettweiler42@lemmyonline.com 76 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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

His dishwasher video changed my life.

[-] Geek_King@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago

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

[-] SkippingRelax@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

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.

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

[-] DillyDaily@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

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!

[-] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 22 points 7 months ago

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

[-] ook_the_librarian@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

I upvote it twice. By magic!

I’d let him press my popcorn button.

[-] Mighty@lemmy.world 19 points 7 months ago

ha you did see the video? :D

[-] BrandonMatrick@lemmy.world 27 points 7 months ago

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

Seriously he's one of my favorite YouTubers

[-] Aeonx21@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

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

[-] ieightpi@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago

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

[-] DillyDaily@lemmy.world 7 points 7 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.

[-] ProvableGecko@lemmy.world 28 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 27 points 7 months ago

Hey @TechConnectify@mas.to , you're a meme now.

(Come on fediverse, do your stuff!)

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

Aw, it doesn't work.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 12 points 7 months ago

Hmm, this works…

https://mas.to/@TechConnectify

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.

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 35 points 7 months ago

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

[-] waka@feddit.de 11 points 7 months ago

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

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 24 points 7 months ago

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

It was like six months ago. The first videos from him that I saw were the ones about Sony Trinitron TVs. That was a few years ago.

[-] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 7 months ago

The dishwasher video is from December of 2020

3 years ago aaaaaaaaaaaaa

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

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 37 points 7 months ago

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

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

And damned if I wasn't.

[-] victron@programming.dev 6 points 7 months ago

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

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

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 11 points 7 months ago

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

[-] somenonewho@feddit.de 16 points 7 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.
