holy shit they finally fixed the file copy window in dark mode. Didn't think this would ever happen.

Probably a hot take but this is all the tech news you need.

I’ve always noticed on fresh installations of Windows the default volume level is 67.

I guess we have Microsoft to blame for the Gen Z/Gen Alpha jokes.

I’m a bit late but I got myself a Christmas tree for my apartment (part 1)

why have 67 when if you just add two more you can have a 69

Is there a reason why the view counters in YouTube Studio are inaccurate? My latest video has two completely different view counts.

NEW VIDEO!

Part 2 of the Main PC 2025 Upgrade is now live! In this video I go over the new parts for my PC, disassemble the old machine, clean the parts I'll re-use and then rebuild the machine with the new parts. Enjoy!

I probably won't be on anybody's top 5 watched channels this year, but I do have a new video coming.

Part 2 of the main PC 2025 rebuild is exporting, this time we're actually building the PC. This is actually my longest video yet at nearly 2 hours. I hope you will all enjoy it.

Rockstar Games: “How should we name our game
a) Name it after some Shakespearean Latin shit or
b) Name it the thing kids do when they beat the fuck out of each other?”

Also Rockstar: “why not both”

Does anybody else also prefer the look of older CCFL LCDs to newer LED backlit LCDs? I know the newer type are better and more efficient but I prefer the warmer look of an older LCD panel that uses CCFLs.

People don’t appreciate that this is a good thing, I’d rather wait a little longer and get a better quality product over a rushed one sooner.

I picked these up from marketplace today for $20, these are a set of Gateway 2000 2.1 computer speakers from sometime in the mid to late ‘90s, these are awesome sounding and a perfect fit for my new retro PC setup.

Windows 11, such quality amirite?

No wonder why they didn’t admit anything, this was this the sign you’d see when entering Epstein’s island.

This is the first time in the history of Windows that the only supported version is the latest one. Previously when a version has gone EOL, the supported versions are at least two versions or more (e.g Win7 EOL still had both 8.1 & 10 in support, 8.1 EOL had 10 & 11 supported).

10 years ago today I uploaded my most viewed video ever, an unboxing and setup of a 1TB Xbox One. It's my only video to ever reach a million views and generated enough revenue to cover the cost of the Xbox.

Windows XP Service Pack 2 is actually Windows XP Second Edition.

Change my mind.

So I'm now on MakerTube. Here's my channel.

I'm still figuring out how it works, and when I'll upload my content to it. I'll announce when I'll start putting some things there.

I make videos about my hobbies, mostly tech related and gaming, with the odd vlog or two here and there. If you enjoy laid back content about my weird obsession with tech you might want to consider...

y’all like my new rack?

I haven’t had a proper place to store my computer collection until now, they’ve all been sitting in boxes in my living room since I moved. Very glad to have this now.

So the next video on the main PC upgrades is coming. This will be Part 1 of either two or three, haven't figured that out yet.

Export is done, just need to run through Handbrake and then upload. I had even more issues with the export last night, guess this project is cursed lol.
September 8, 2025 at 12:20 PM
So what's with the delay? Well, I know I say this a lot, but if I'm honest between my job, some life circumstances like moving to my new place, and my own mental health issues lately, I've been sitting on this for a while. I also had to re-do the entire edit twice.
I think pigs are flying because a new video is coming!

I did some upgrades to my main PC earlier this year and have a lot of footage of it for more than one video.

It's exporting now so it should be up soon. Stay tuned.
