I would watch a channel where someone is dedicated to reviewing like low-end budget products like from Dollar Tree, Dollar General .etc In the same vein as Project Farm.

Heists.

Drilling into bank vaults from the sewer system and escaping undetected type things. Not violent ones with hostages or smash and grabs.

Planning, preparation and execution videos would be awesome!

"alright guys, (puts on ski mask) today we've partnered up with the lockpicking lawyer to break into this gated community."

I mean the man is a lawyer. Surely that makes it legal, right?

[โ€“] tetris11@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

...right?

meanwhile: "Hiroki tumblelock, use the pryer and rake the pins, and its open, onto the CCTV, they're using an esp32-based system, overload gpio pin 23, and its down, onto the armed guards, that's a knockoff glock variant, hand to throat, body shield, pop those two off, and a quick immolation here and here, and they're down...."

Let me do that again to show it wasn't a fluke.

A channel that is all about how to fuck big corpos. Private healthcare? 6 easy steps to pay 1 dollar a month and never be denied anything! Banks? How to get a credit card with NEGATIVE INTEREST they can't cancel!

Dude that's Ashens. It's not all he reviews but he has a ton, been watching him for over 10 years.

I like his personality but his content is too varied for my taste, and I'm not really interested in the super random stuff he reviews like weird 80s toys, or other cheap plastic toys.

Also him reviewing food on top of his couch gives me anxiety.

While there are channels that do some hardware hacking like breaking the firmware on Alarmo or Car Thing. I wish there were less laws on sponsorship and it was normalized to show hardware hacks and firmware bugs and open sourcing some exploits and so we would see it more often rather than hearing about it as a talk at a conference and that companies would partner or work with the extremely intelligent people capable of figuring such things out to improve the security of their products for average citizens.

Seeing a channel that could show you a regular every day smart product, console, or just a kids toy being hacked would be a regular in my book.

Low level explanations for high level PC hardware knowledge.

I appreciate channels like Gamers Nexus, but a good chunk of the information they put out, are just funny words to me.

Hmm. One aspect should be a cozy and calm voice. I enjoy a nice voice and tone, doesn't have to be a storyteller.

I recently found a channel with one, it's mildly asmr. Since I can feel you wondering, the name is Seppรค Taalasmaa, it's of course spoken in finnish but I'm sure you'll get the idea.

If you like coffee, you're talking about James Hoffman.

Big Clive has a voice to sleep to. If you are not familiar, he does electronics teardowns and reverse engineering. While I usually just watch his videos to actually learn things, his voice will knock me right out if I need a nap.

Never done a sudoku in my life but that's exactly the reason I watch cracking the cryptic, especially at night.

HLC habitual line crosser

He talks about world events and adds a good level of humor to it. He is quite knowledgeable.
