This has come up a few times before: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/automated-electronics-assembly-1940_s-style/msg162523/#msg162523 https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/who-loves-old-tech/msg679145/#msg679145 https://www.eevblog.com/forum/beginners/melting-solder-in-a-pot/msg3549894/#msg3549894 https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/(article)-solder-less-circuits-(apparently)/msg4564624/#msg4564624 As a general plea: Could we please make it forum etiquette to give a brief summary of what the video is about (beyond "it's amazing!") when posting a Youtube link? In this case I knew what to expect since I had seen the video before. But in general, I dislike having to spend time on a video only to figure out whether it is of interest to me. Thanks! |

Do they still teach "précis" at school? Maybe yoootooob talking heads were asleep? |

I flicked on the haunted fish tank and took a look at the selection of documentaries and I found nothing of interst and the one I did try was another one of those not a lot of content spread of 1hr. I made the mistake of starting a documentary about the McD scandal about the Monopoly winners. That was 5 or 6 hrs of TV that really felt like it was dragged out as much as they could. For a while YT was nice as there was informative stuff out there. But the algorithm seems to be pushing lots of crap. Some YTers have got into the habit of being as bad as the documentaries on TV. I miss the documentaries we used to watch as a kid. I wish there was more stuff by people like Adam Heart-Davies as the stuff he did back in the 2000s was interesting a informative. Oh +1 on supplying a little more than just a link to a vid with the comment cool vid. |
