RISC-V Video Editing & 500th Episode

[@terrydaktyllus1320]

Congratulations on video number 500. You are a credit to the hobbyist computing community and the fight to get youngsters across the Western World to start taking computer science seriously, especially at degree level, is a good one. Keep up the fight, I doff my cap to you - and fingers crossed for the big one million!

[@ExplainingComputers]

Thanks.

[@aladdin8623]

Not only in the western world ; ) Salam

[@terrydaktyllus1320]

@@aladdin8623 Yes, accepted. It seems there are a lot of IT people coming from Argentina and Hungary these days, as well as India - so perhaps the rest of the world is having the same problems. I believe, for example, there are something like a million vacancies to be filled in cybersecurity across the globe at the moment. Salam.

[@СергейД-ч4ь]

Across planet Earth to be exact!

[@ElmerFuddGun]

​@@terrydaktyllus1320 - Is there really a shortage of IT people in India?! Seems I hear every time someone here in Canada calls about their internet, etc. it is someone in India they are talking to! Don't get me wrong I have Indian friends and co-workers. Although sometimes the calls go to the Philippines lately. And it is funny how many of them have common Canadian English names! ;-) Never would have guessed those "English" names would be popular in those countries that speak a different language. 8-)

[@largewallofbeans9812]

Congratulations, Chris! This channel has always been my go-to for SBC information and the quality of every video has been the best I’ve seen on KZbin.

[@rysterstech]

Not gonna lie I was a bit concerned when you said you were updating the website that you were going to make it like most modern text websites, not based on text anymore and being ridiculously heavy pages for what they are, glad to see that you have kept it simple and lightweight. There are way too many websites that are impossible to feasibly access on older hardware for no reason at all. Congratulations on 500 videos, here's to 500 more.

[@ExplainingComputers]

Thanks for this, most appreciated. I have updated the website in the same way that in the past I have updated books -- same style and design, just re-writing the words. :)

[@ahmad-murery]

I felt the same, but I think Chris was a smart enough to keep it simple, and yes these so called modern design pages focus on the look but not on the content besides they take ages to load on slow connection.

[@SuperSpecies]

Surely someone would like pop up dialog boxes asking for your email address, or some little auto playing video ads??

[@freeculture]

I actually hate "web 2.0" (script and tracker invasion) to this day i use uMatrix in the browser so everything needs to be whitelisted to be allowed. I don't trust web pages by default, they send too much garbage.

[@JeffGeerling]

And here's to the next 500! 🎉

[@PeteC62]

Hearty congratulations, Chris! Your work is an example and an inspiration to anyone who strives for consistent excellence in whatever endeavor they take on! Please treat yourself to a celebratory slap-up meal at Mrs Miggins' Pie Shoppe!

[@ElmerFuddGun]

Nicely done Peter! I don't think I've seen a YT "Thanks" of $100 before. Chris surely deserves it. But now I wonder how much KZbin will take of that to pass that along to Chris? How much do they tax it?

[@r0galik]

​@@ElmerFuddGunprobably the same percentage as any other super thanks, so chill.

[@ElmerFuddGun]

​@@r0galik - Actually I was "chill" when I asked. Sorry I'm not in the loop and don't know what YT charges for that service.

[@ExplainingComputers]

Thanks for your support Peter, most appreciated. :)

[@PeteC62]

​@@ElmerFuddGunYeah, I'm not sure either. I know they definitely take a percentage, but hopefully Chris will be left with enough to get a cup of coffee!

[@FelicianoTech]

I wasn’t here from the beginning but I’ve been watching for years. Congratulations 🎉

[@MichelMorinMontreal]

It is with both honour and happiness that I celebrate this 500th video. Explaining Computer remains - as far as I'm concerned - the most relevant channel when it comes to the essential digital literacy we all need. Thank you for all the work you've done over the last few years.

[@kevincaulkett9358]

Sincere thanks and congratulations from Japan Chris, your work has helped many of us here. Looking forward to your 600th!

[@d.barnette2687]

Greetings from across the pond near Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. We have a saying in my home state of Texas for hard working successful people that seldom sleep, and it goes like this: "Time after time, Prof Barnatt keeps bringing home the bacon." Amen! Always great content, each and every video. Today's was another super-max groovy video -- RGB shirt (with remote) and all. I take it that this item will not be found in your Amazon store front. :( When I first heard about the Pi 5, I went to your channel straight away hoping to find an EC review and was not disappointed. Thanks for all your hard work to keep us informed. :) 500 videos -- what an achievement!

[@ExplainingComputers]

Thanks for your very generous support and kind comments. I fear that Amazon will indeed not be stocking the shirt. :(

[@richym81]

Congratulations and thank you for all the hard work over the years. Great to see a cameo from Mr Scissors at the end.

[@alanthornton3530]

Thanks Chris for all your hard work that goes into producing this channel & congratulations on the 500th video, looking forward to many more!! The website update looks really good & is easy to navigate, I have to say that I enjoyed your RGB colour shifting shirt, very neat.

[@ExplainingComputers]

Thanks for your support Alan, and for watching so long. :)

[@arxaaron]

Congratulations on creating one one the most comprehensive catalogs of computer tech information on the internet! Looking forward to visiting the updated website to explore the reorganized and categorized videos list to find some classics that I may have missed.

[@gerrytemple5044]

Thank you Chris for 500 brilliant videos that made my Sundays and even my life better ❤️ Wishing you all the best personally, and I hope to celebrate 1000 videos with you in the years to come!

[@SchoolforHackers]

Chris, I’ve loved your channel for years. You are my favorite SBC hacker. Long may you reign, our Timelord friend.

[@musicalneptunian]

Mr Scissors was an integral part of 500 episodes. Never take Mr Scissors for granted! ✂✂✂

[@johnvirgin405]

CoNgRaTuLaTiOnS! My favourite channel by far. Thanks for all the content over the years. I'm looking forward to the next 500 episodes.

[@MarcosCodas]

Nobody’s talking as much, or as well, about RISK-V as you, Chris. Thank you for your dedication.

[@PsiQ]

Always love hearing about cutting edge technologies in a non bloated way. Keep us posted on RISC, Stanley and Mr Scissors..

[@DylanWilsonYT]

Congrats on your 500th video Chris! You've come such a long way, onwards to 1 Million Subscribers :D

[@ohrun3106]

its crazy that i was literally watching the 100th video setup tour the other week, now hes on 500.

[@ercjcraft4679]

Great Job Keep up The Good Work 👍

[@ExpellerYT]

awesome Chris! As a femboy I experienced a lot of troubles purchasing thigh highs on my PC; I watched a few tech tutorials from you and effortless ordered myself a new pair, and have been watching you since! Huge congratulations on 500 videos, and I look forward to the next one 🎉

[@Dante-420]

Congrats on 500 episodes! It's great to see your channel grow, which parallels nicely with the growing viability of RISC-V!

[@rutkowskir]

500 Videos! Thanks and congratulations Chris for the many years of great technical content, one of the best libraries available on KZbin! Being a long time technologist, I have to say I did learn a lot from your videos. Keep up the great work you've been doing and a big thank you for everything! You're on your way to 1 Million subscribers which I think will occur before the end of 2023!!! I wish you the best and stay well... Rich

[@ExplainingComputers]

Hi Rich, thanks for your support. Most appreciated. :)

[@CCoburn3]

Happy 500! Good to see the ducks. I guess we have to be satisfied with icons of Stanley and Mr. Scissors. Perhaps they will appear in person in video 1000. I have been pondering what sort of video you can do featuring the Pi-5. (And yes, I think about the channel fairly often.) It occurs to me that the Pi-5's two camera inputs can be used to make a 3D digitizer. These are extremely popular with people who own 3D printers, but they are more than a little pricey. In addition to using the two cameras, you could control a servo to turn a turntable in precise increments. The model you wanted to digitize would go on the turntable, and the Pi would take a series of pictures. The pictures could then be assembled into a 3D model in Blender or some other appropriate software. You could even get ChatGPT to write the code needed to drive the servo and the cameras.

[@ExplainingComputers]

A 3D digitizer is a great idea. I will muse on this. :)

[@azlandpilotcar4450]

As we all know from Star Trek, unless one is a Canadian playing a Scot, wearers of red shirts have a high mortality rate. Best block out that option. Congratulations on 500 episodes!

[@ExplainingComputers]

Made me smile. :) I'll stick to the black.

[@justinsheppherd1806]

Congratulations on your quincentennial, Chris! Watching the new EC video has become an important part of my Sunday afternoons, to the point where they'd leave a hole if they ever stopped. Here's to at least 500 more.

[@ExplainingComputers]

Thanks for watching. :)

[@freckhard]

Congratulations from me as well! I showed your "building a PC series" to my wife as she wants to switch careers to IT and it helped a lot! Now next up more Pi5 content and hopefully very soon one million subscribers! Best wishes!

[@mikefinn2101]

Great video remembered some past videos wow time has gone by, Thanks Peter.

[@superangrybrit]

Thank you Stanley and mister scissors for helping the professor! 😉😉

[@ahmad-murery]

Congrats Chris on the 500th episode. I really like the new website update. I liked your RGB shirt, I tried to connect my shirt to 220V but it changes my skin color instead 🤔😁 Thanks Chris!

[@AntonioCosta-jd6fg]

Congratulations, Chris!! One thing we noticed all over these videos is that you always manteins a high quality standard, and brings us very usefull content! Let's hope for you to keep going and brings us more hundreds and hundreds of nice videos!

[@AZREDFERN]

Happy 500 my dude! Keep them coming! I’ve learned so much from you so far.

[@qg786]

Congratulations Chris! I was introduced to your channel by a guy at my old job. Three years ago and even now I wish I knew about your channel sooner! You have the best quality content I've seen. Keep the videos coming! 👍

[@martifingers]

Looking forward to the next 500!

[@adrianwiuk]

Congratulations on the very big 5-0-0! You've managed to educate and entertain in equal measure, and I can't imagine anyone has watched one of your videos without learning something new. Here's to another 500...

[@MaxGoof]

Literally every video he makes I learn something new, even subjects that I have a long history with. Chris is a true educator.

[@perrymcclusky4695]

Awesome! 500 videos! At the end of the video, I’ll looks like Stanley the Knife and Mister Scissors were hovering in great expectations to remove you from your color changing wrapper. Looking forward to seeing your next 500 videos!

[@resrussia]

Congratulations on 500 episodes! I can't believe I have been watching your channel faithfully for 8 years, and look forward to each episode. Keep up the good work!

500th episod!!! Best congratulations!!! As I have been watching your videos for about 4 years at least 200 of them I have watched. And it never absolutely never failed to please me. What I relly like and admire is when the real scientist popularizes the subject of his research. Long live Chris! And remember 500 is only the begining!!!

[@daveac]

Congratulations on reaching 500 episodes!

[@ExplainingComputers]

I'm still not quite sure how it happened . . .

[@daveac]

@@ExplainingComputers I think I know what you mean - but more with audio (podcasts) I've done or co-hosted on well over a thousand plus episodes - usually with longer running lengths of 1 to 2 hours each - although admittedly much, much easier to to produce and edit than your well crafted 'technical/educational videos -so again Bravo! :-)

[@Mor5ives]

Huge congrats to 500 videos! Thank you for so much great content over the years. It's a good day when you sit down on Sunday with a drink to watch. Two top marks for me are the videos on Libreoffice Base and Blender. The best introductions to these programs bar none. The channel is an underrated gem on KZbin. On the subject, RISC-V sure has come far in a short time. It reminds me of running some desktop programs on the Raspberry Pi 1 Model B+ plucky 700mhz single core. It sure wasn't fast but back then but still, impressive for what it was.

[@NewHampshireJack]

Congratulations are certainly in order. May I say thank you big time for teaching an old dog new tricks? I am learning bits and pieces of subjects I never before thought I would be comfortable with. For a fact, my workstation where I trade US markets at night at my retirement location on Luzon Island in the Philippines has benefitted from this KZbin channel. A get-a-way camper truck is next on the list. I now feel confident enough to build the workstation for the mobile setup. Markets never sleep but I do want to monitor and occasionally trade when on a trip. Thank you Chris for the great work you do.

[@rv6amark]

Congratulations on the 500th video. I have see ALL of them at least once, and many of them several times. They are a great resource for information from connectors to entire computer builds. You replaced "Computer Chronicles", a program on early computing that ended production in the 80's (???). Old episodes of that show are available here on KZbin, but I find your content is much richer with its "how to", "why", and "how to" information rather than just reporting on what the industry is doing. I was glad to see Mr. Scissors and Stanley the Knife make an appearance in the upper right corner!!!

[@ExplainingComputers]

Thanks for watching. :)

[@ronkemperful]

500!!! I will have to try a marathon watch of all your videos. Love seeing another single board computer, especially with new technology.

[@inkysteve]

Congratulations. I started watching when I got my first Raspberry Pi and haven't missed an episode, thankyou. To be honest I started watching because your videos remind me of the Open University programmes in the 70s and 80s.

I've learned a lot I'd never otherwise know about REALLY SMALL systems from these videos, some about PC's, and NOTHING about Mainframes, where I spent 46 years as a software developer. Retired, I'm having fun tinkering with smallish systems... Great to have a reliable source of info from a fascinating host. Cheers...

Congratulations on the milestone. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour down memory lane and that RGB shirt is pretty wild! I first started watching this channel in 2018 when I first got my Raspberry Pi (3B+) and needed some tips and pointers on using it for assignments. Your channel was one of the first ones to come up in my search and it was a big help in getting to know the Pi. Still watching and each new video is anticipated. Well done and thank you.

Most honest content that has not changed at all. Even a TV channel can't give the same level of consistency. You really do amazing work and actually care for your content Chris and it just shows up here. I am pretty sure you even responded to my comment when I said it, but I remember my first videos from you was of assembling a small PC with just 40GB of storage, and that of the Rasp Pi Model B. You were probably one of the core reasons I have my interest in I.T that I do today, and I thank you sincerely for that. Hope I can excel my career in this field.

Will it be renamed to 'Cobra'? I sincerely hope that we are all still "keeping safe & well" to find out. When will you start selling those 'magic remote controlled' shirts in your shop? How about a model with smooth PWM color mixing? 💡MOOD SHIRTS! (dibs on the royalties) Give her a flash of pink and say no more, if ya catch my drift, Gov. Just imagine, sitting in a crowded West End club, with all the blokes, wearing your 'magic shirts', connected to the DJ via bluetooth, flashing colors like a synchronized drone swarm. We'll be filthy rich in no time! 😜 Cheers! 😎
