This vid on segmented character displays turned up on my Youtube recommendations today.

As a result, I rapidly came to the conclusion that I have a long way to go in my life-long quest to become a certified Fixated Nerd.

As the title of the thread suggests, it answers questions that were so left field they'd never cross my mind, but equally I consider myself more educated afterwards than I was before.

The content is solid nerd entertainment and education, and as a side point the production standard is way above what I could ever hope to achieve.

This guy has me curious, about video production, and what kind of hours this video took, a comprehensive and artistic summary, obviously.
   What kinds of image processing, associated 'team', and video production?  Like, to superimpose a hypothetical display fragment, over an existing Casio watch, etc.  Almost makes me forget, original topic.  But, topic itself, especially the historic telegraph links, is a 10.0 in my opinion. Straight up perfect.

FYI, watch his 3 part series on LCDs. It’s also fascinating.

He has a great production standard and covers interesting nerdy topics.  Quite amazing he has so few subscribers.

It looks like the algorithm (and some social media mentions) has lead to his subscriber count more than doubling in just the last day from 5.42k to 12.2k ... no 12.3k and climbing.

Edit: Up to 16.5k subscribers and still climbing...

Now 77k subs and a million views on a video about 7 segment displays. That's a lot of nerds!

This is a fantastic video.  His other video on mouse cursors is great too.
