[sdiy] favorite Youtube genre - "old guys repairing electronics"

[Spiros Makris]

I'm a big fan of Big Clive, I especially love the low quality, (primarily)
Chinese junk that he hacks up. It's a very interesting dive into Chinese
engineering, and you know what? Some of that shit is genius! Also, some of
it is so incredibly dangerous you will be left there shocked for a while.

I recently found Ben Eater <https://www.youtube.com/c/BenEater>, who deals
with practical demonstrations of "old computing" hardware. Basically builds
microcomputers and related digital circuits on a breadboard, going through
every subsystem bit by bit, demonstrating functionality and explaining it
in depth.  Highly recommended watch.

There's also the signal path
<https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSignalPathBlog> who deals with RF stuff.
Way out of my league, I stopped watching long ago but the guy is very good
if you like this sort of thing.
