I have been collecting blank disc a few years now. I get em cheap. No idea if they are usable,, but I love the old tech as it was always a project to me when something new came out. Back in a day when instant gratification and cell phones were not distraction. You have a lot of time to do things.

16 hours and then some more. What is the wattage of this contraption..?

Yooo you have the same Commercial Pass vhs player that I have! 😄

35mm film has an 8k resolution as a minimum. If it has a good optical set up the image will be clear. TV did not look blurry in the 1980s as the CRT sets had amazing colour processing and the pixels were small enough that they could not be seen at viewing distances.

lowkey i dont think those cheap sanyo players can play much of anything lol

Have you tried the battery bounce test? If you drop it onto its negative side from a height of two or three inches and it lands and sticks upright it's good. If it bounces and falls over it's bad.

Lame old person here, we were building what you use todey.

I had one of these kinds of bulbs in the late 70s or early 80s. Mine was blue and didn't have the mirrored finished. I do not remember where I got it from, and it might have been a gift. I wouldn't be surprised if it came from Spencer Gifts.

In my family we started having Kerosene lamps around after the Mexico City earthquake of 85. Bank then battery lamps were not as reliable as Kerosene, and no practical in a situation like that, where you could be without electricity for days, maybe weeks. If properly store fuel will be ready to work at any time, and will last way longer than the batteries we had back then. I know technology has evolve a lot, and there are better options now. But I still have two kerosene lamps arounds for emergency use just in case.

Great video. The only incorrect part is that they existed long ago. I found one from several years ago, fully charged even. Great research!

7:00 continuous n-word pressure is what I feel when I play ball with the dudes at the public park

My LED light sets never last.

I had no idea this was even possible.. wow I feel stupid.

[16:37] is nearly as alarming a statement as saying : the sweet smell of gasoline

The wacky inflatable arm-waving guy of the light bulb world! 😂🎉

I used to hold these against my cheek as a kid to feel the warmth.

10:30 ah yes, these bleepers. We had two of those in the bathroom of my childhood home and we disabled both of them because when they slammed, they rattled the whole house. Good riddance.

Hey, I love your videos. A bit of nagging from what you said around 13:38. We have 240V in Germany neutral-to-phase, and differential protection is mandatory and must cover EVERYTHING inside the house by regulation. It will disconnect power if more than 30mA goes outside of the circuit, like when you touch a live wire. If you hold a live 240V here you'll probably be fine. Would you be fine if you hold a 120V in US? I think not. The "split phase" solution makes it very hard to have differential projection in US. Buildings and houses here can have 2 phases at 120 degrees apart plus neutral, which gives us 415V (240*sqrt(3)), or we can have 3 phases plus neutral which gives us 240V triphase in star configuration or 415V triphase in triangle configuration. Defending the american electrical system is a exercise in futility.

And to be even more efficient. Switch the swing temp setting to 2 or 3. Furnace will run longer, but less often. And be more efficient

A heat pump needs to run longer to be more efficient. All furnaces are more efficient once ducts and everything else is up to temps.

Isn't a 'regular' oven actually a 'convection' oven and these are 'forced air' ovens? Asking for a friend.

I used to want one of these. Now I don’t. You showed me that it would make more sense to get a mini fridge or one like the red one instead. The little blue one is so inefficient that you would be better off drinking your drink at room temperature.

We had an oil furnace growing up in MA. I personally wouldn't buy a house with a gas furnace, stove, or even gas line on the property. You listed a whole lot of safety mechanisms to make sure the furnace doesn't blow itself up.... and I hate that style of engineering. I want systems where success at each step is required for the process to continue It's like those nuclear reactors that require constant inflows of cooling water to remain stable vs the ones that require constant inflows of fuel to remain opertational

I tried a coffee machine but there was no point. It makes lukewarm coffee (if you're used to boiling water from the kettle) and the instant coffee you can get here is very good. There are lots of specialty instants to choose from, some with ground coffee blended in. No need for less than hot machines.

Good God

if you want actual no effort this november, drop the teleprompter and go unscripted. go wild

"Even the most skeptical tech influencer calls our freeze dryer a perfect instant coffee maker, get yours today!" --smart freeze dryer salesman who makes clips.

So to put it simple. They are just better convection ovens. I use one of the mid range ones that has a few extra settings and a double basket. It’s great for cooking things especially when you don’t want the oven heating up the house on a hot day. It also tends to cook a little faster and more evenly compared to a traditional oven.

it's better than an oven because you can easily check on your food and it scratches a bbq itch as well I think. The bucket with handle makes all the difference it does rightly deserve it's own name.

Fun fact, this isn't even the only radiation-measurement-device-turned-toy invented by William Crookes. Crookes also invented the Spinthariscope, a device that used a lens and phosphor coating with a minuscule amount of a radioactive substance, to allow people to 'see' individual atoms decay. It was replaced by more quantitative measurement devices, by has popped up as an educational toy since then.

That Sienna make horror movie background music when moving, it must be nice to be surprised by one at night.

@edisonmotors you may have already know this. Just in case tagging you here. Thanks for great work.

here in NL we use E-Ink tech in store price tags so we can update the price without having to manually replace the paper price tag.

Hey hey, why don't you do a video about remote desktops? I cam back from the video about docking stations and I remembered my own "work optimization". So basically you know the typical RDP remote desktop you can use on windows. Which is great at times but sucks to set up and make use of your GPU fully. And it doesn't work in games or other applications where you have to move your camera around when the mouse is captured. And then there's another way of doing remote desktop: using Sunshine/Moonlight or Parsec. I personally use a sunshine setup on my now about nine year old desktop with a 2013 xeon cpu and two random quadro GPUs from 2016+ 32GB DDR4. And wow this thing is a beast when it comes to rendering/working in video editing tools etc. And yeah games run great on it too. Anyway that's not the point, the point is that even using my tablet when im away from home. I can just connect to my home pc and basically work on it as if the tablet were just the screen of it. The delay is actually so little that when the internet is good you can't even tell that there's a delay. So basically the portability of a tablet + power of a beast desktop. But that's only given if the internet infrastructure is good in your place. (But preferably use light laptops cuz when you use tablets, at least android ones, they have the non disablable(good english) keyboard shortcuts which are so annoying when you just want to use windows shortcuts and your tablet just closes the app for some reason). Anyway i think it would be a fun idea to do a video about

dang man. why is taco bell catching strays???

In Eastern Europe shutting your water heater off during peak prices is standard. Also standard practice is to run a special circuit for this purpose. Our electric meters have special contacts which operate a relay that switches that circuit on when electricity is cheap. This has been standard practice since 1950s.

Yes yes, we all had that grandpa that when in a Electrical store with his own Volt meter and checked every single battery for it's Voltage before he both them.

Not here to knock the video. I enjoy using retro tech and leaning about it. I am confused though, as why we care which retro tech is better when both are long since outdated, by multiple generations of technology. Most people stream now.

Great information, thank you. And you kept your video straight to the point that was great. A lot of videos over explain and exaggerate and just talk to much.

Lol sound thru cable is simple once in car i took rear reproductors wiring from radio and connected it with leds. and put it into dashboard Let's see what it looks like. Btw, everybody asked me just: How? 😂

"Remember when your computers were old and lame?" Nope, they were awesome. This guy is lame

I'll just say, if taking away ~1 gram of material is optional and OK to do. And it also provides me with a latching hole to manufacture millions of these plugs more easily. I would put that hole 100% of the time to save costs and time.

why not a cylinder instead?

That poor Fargo laserdisc has seen better days.

Another stellar no effort november video. Would love to leave tips on your videos, just post a Bitcoin lighting address in your video description. Not everybody can join patreon!

I hate electric cars but I would 100% buy that Nvision

This all assumes that the roads are lit. Once you go from safe and efficiemt retinal bleaching 5000K LEDs to an unlit road, youre screwed.

And now I want to put a magnet up to a filament bulb and watch what happens.
