Or the one on the mud run.  ::)
Keysight DanielBogdanoff:
Thanks @newbrain for the PM

My thoughts & admissions of guilt:

1. I am 100% and solely the one that is behind this @Keysight

2. My personal opinion is that Zack does a great job with his channel and does some spectacular builds. The channel overall is not for everybody, and that's fine. If you don't like it, it's not for you. It has a very clear brand. I also do things with electroBOOM (and Dave, for that matter), and people have the same woes with all these channels.

3. I really like the build & the video.
- Is the scope as precise as before? Probably not (it's untested). Also he's not going to need the full bandwidth so it's ok if his is a bit detuned.
- Do I love it? Yes.
- Is 1 GHz overkill? 100% yes, but that's kind of the point. Also, it's what I had lying around so it's what he got.

4. Even though Zack may not be doing bleeding edge circuit work, I enjoy the channel for what it is. I know not everyone feels that way, so go support the channels you DO appreciate!

Yes. I'm always looking for new channels / options, and want to support the community overall. Part of doing this type of thing is that it also allows me to spend budget to get equipment into the hands of the content creators in the community. From a "teach & build up the global community" standpoint, one scope in the hands of Dave is worth 20 scopes in the hands of non-video makers. Channels are working hard to both educate and entertain, and I love that I can use events like this to support those efforts. Of course there's a business perk as well, but that's what pays the bills. I'm here typing this at 12:30 AM because I want the community to be supported and grow, not because I want to push more scopes. That's a 9-5 thing.

OG. I learned a lot from that! It was not a functional/usable scope so there was no real loss, but I still wouldn't do that again after the community response.

Edit: I've gotten more emails from Keysight folks about this video than every other promo video I've worked out, combined. Everyone that reached out to me loved it.
Ice-Tea:
Cudos to Daniel for replying to what is not a sympathetic crowd  :-+

That said, maybe next time give him a 100MHz scope or something. Might hurt a bit less ;)

I don't mind crazy and over the top. For instance I like watching Electroboom. And I am really happy Keysight sponsored him with instruments. He is respectful towards what is expensive and good quality stuff...And he shows respect towards Keysight every time he speaks about it..

And in addition to that, I wouldn't even speak up about it if this guy made some really cool looking steampunk or something artistic, with real and proper artistic and manufacturing skills. What he did is cheap, below average 3D printing, cheesy colours...etc. It literally looks like it was done by 5 year old. The rest of his projects are also  :palm:

This video of his starts with sentence: "I had one weekend to build professional quality video controller..."



Nuff said... In my mind he was not worthy...  ^-^ That's all... I realize it wasn't my choice to make, but, hey free speech and such..
