Always enjoy this dude’s videos

He's on the Fediverse now, give him a follow! He's @TechConnectify

[–] ShootBANGdang@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

He should do a video on the Fediverse (if he hasn’t already)

[–] Taringano@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

The video of a toaster is like 60 min long. One about thhe fediverse and how convoluted it is would be at least 5 days worth of video

[–] Junkers_Klunker@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Well he'll just have to wait until no effort november is over.

Each of his normal videos is basically an extremely niche documentary.

I've got a feeling it would've be a raving review, if he does. He's recently posted about having a bad time on Mastodon due to poor interactions he's had with users.

He ends up bringing up an important topic, which is that the "mainstream" platforms all have some level of "celebrity protection" for popular accounts, which filter out negative/hateful replies to your posts. Fedi currently has no such feature, so whether you have 10 followers or 10,000, you will still be inundated with all the garbage replies to your posts since there's no algorithm in place that is grading posts before presenting them to them user.

Watched this earlier today. Was a good episode. Most of his November eps have been great.

I'm impressed with his kitchen aid microwave

except for the 2x5 numberpad :p

[–] marx2k@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Ooh didn't catch that. wtf

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 3 points 11 months ago

Gotta have that no effort November

[–] Lenggo@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

This was cool but it made me a little sad to finally know that my 15 year old microwave is just as dumb as I always knew and the button just starts a timer, nothing fancy.

[–] PottedPlant@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

I purchased that Sharp microwave in the 90s, don't know, lost track of it, moved across country into a house with a built-in microwave that is also a Sharp.

Ever since I saw his videos I feel like I somehow won the microwave feature lottery.

It's a good unit, weird they aren't all as good or better.

Hoe much microwave popcorn is consumed in USA families generally?

I've never seen a microwave with that setting. I can't even think of anyone that would need it, let alone over engineer an appliance over.

[–] EssentialCoffee@midwest.social 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I haven't seen many microwaves without a popcorn button since the 90s. We usually skip over the few that don't when we need to shop for a new microwave (which I've bought two microwaves in the last twenty years, so not a common expense). I'd consider it a basic function, not over-engineering.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 1 points 11 months ago

I'd consider it a basic function, not over-engineering.

If there's a microphone installed specifically for that it kind of is, though.

[–] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

It is common enough here. I go through periods of buying microwave popcorn every once in a while and stop. I use the microwave button every time.

[–] poopsmith@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Personally, 1-2x/month.

This video inspired me to try out the sensor reheat setting on my microwave today and it worked pretty well at reheating chili!

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Thanks ill check it out

[–] sagrotan@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I thought it was the button to distill your own moonshine. Didn't work. 1 star.
