For once ads saved me
Ah I would've gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling ads.
XcQ not for you
Hardware Canucks for other Canadian tech news
Hardware Canucks is very good for peripheral reviews. Haven’t watched them in a hot minute since I’ve been happy with my audio and mouse/keyboard setup, but they go the extra step of doing things like showing recordings from different headsets and how well a mouse glides.
Something Canadian, that's refreshing. It always annoyed me the LTT was Canadian but always put prices in American..
Cathode Ray Dude
Second this
Digital Foundry does really great deep-dives on the software side of things. A channel like GamersNexus is great for getting a sense for how a new CPU or GPU stacks up to other models. DF is great for looking at game performance in a specific title, and which settings to tweak for optimized performance with various graphics cards.
I second this recommendation. The level of detail they go into is insane. I also like their retrospective vids they do from time to time.
I love Derbauer.
For more of the entertainment cool shit side of LTT, I love DIY Perks. He does a lot of really cool techy builds
My two absolute favourites right now
Bringus Studios - this is pretty close to classic LTT episodes (he did "I bought a SEGA PC?!?!?!!" before Linus did) and often involves trying to upgrade hardware that wasn't designed to be upgraded or installing software on systems not meant for it (turning a PS4 into a steam deck for example) all with a delightful layer of jank to it So kinda like the videos with Jake
A little more different but equally brilliant channel is
MattKC - his most popular video is him trying to get a game to fit into a qr code (brilliant) but also extends to him buying and fixing a Wii he bought for 1$ in Japan or trying to build the fastest Windows 98 compatible PC and modding old consoles So kinda like the videos with Alex
RandomGamingInHD is pretty neat. Like seeing people push real budget stuff to its absolute limits. LowSpecGamer used to be my go to for that, but it seems he completely changed thr channels directions and purged the old videos.
LGR and 8-bit Guy both do a lot of cool stuff with old and obsolete hardware.
+1 for RGiHD
Not the most in depth performance metrics, but gives a good look at what kind of performance you can get out of older/cheaper hardware.
I can't believe no one mentioned MrMobile. I really enjoy his format and editing style. He mostly does phone and watch reviews, but sometimes sprinkle in laptops, and his When Phones were Fun series were awesome.
LowSpecGamer originally does what the channel name suggests, low spec hardware reviews and game on them with jank methods. However, he has since privated his previous videos, and transitioned to history and stories behind tech products.
One other channel that is more to the side of tech "explanation" is Technology Connections. The subjects of his videos are not necessarily "tech" we see in tech channels, but more appliance tech and the history or how it works. His channel is caption friendly too!
You have the two best already… GN for quality reviews and Jayz for “We’re making a thing today, let’s see what happens.”
Cathode Ray Dude and Techmoan if you want to see retro tech.
It's crazy how much artistry went into mechanical engineering of tape decks and stuff like that before circuit boards and components were small enough that everything is uncreative.
Level1techs, Chris Titus, Servethehome, Craft computing, Lawrence systems, 8-bit guy, look mom no computer, Mark Rober, Austin Evans, mkbhd, ijustine, jerryrigeverything, technology connections.
Those I could come up with relatively fast without checking my subscriptions in freetube.
Also some rocket tech because rockets are cool:
Pbs space, Xyla Foxlin, air command rockets, everyday astronaut, Scott Manley, Marcus House
i can't express how much i love technology connections
Technology connections is literally the best YouTube channel ever.
Tech Iceberg and RandomGaminginHD
(What can I say, the British accent adds like 50 points to my rubric
TechMoan is always a fun watch
Same with the 8-Bit Guy and LGR.
TechAltar is the best one
Phil’s Computer Lab if you want to see someone reviewing DOS, Win9x and XP era hardware.
TheLinuxExperiment does really nice video about tech news, better than TechLinked in every ways.
+1 for TheLinuxExperiment, most other linux channels have a paranoid vibe to them but this guy's cool
I'll recommend Power Cert Animated Videos, it's really good to grasp the basics on some topics in my opinion.
I love OptimumTech. Mostly focused on SFF builds and peripherals and setup-minimalism. However Ali has a very relaxing voice and entirely drama free
thank you all for the recommendations. i have a lot to watch now :)
Here's a small Brazilian tech channel that I really like
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2r9ork83kGjXp5uP9cu71Q
Hacksmith is pretty cool, I dont know if you consider them "tech".
2kliksphilip, RandomGaminginHD, DIY Perks, der8auer, and KrisFix-Germany are all neat tech/gaming oriented channels, but obviously none of them cover gaming/tech as a whole like LTT does.
Mental Outlaw for Linux/privacy stuff for sure. Dude has some hot takes and has been focusing a bit more on his farm at the moment but he's got some good topics
