Epic! 8-bitguy uses 1 weird trick to detroy rare prototypes!

From 8-bit Guy's latest video:

Prepare for bipartisan faggotry, we all know it's inevitable.
I don't understand why he wants to make a video about this. The solar stuff I could kinda get behind because it was DIY but there's literally nothing about fucking self-driving EVs (of any brand) that fits the retrocomputing schtick.

He's cripplingly autistic and one of his fixations is EVs. He was an early adopter of I think the Chevy Volt, and he's been an avid advocate of EVs ever since. They'd show up now again in his videos when he'd go on road trips or whatever, even made several dedicated videos about them, though it's been a long while. Guess he's got an itch that needs scratching.

I thought it's fucking impossible to convert any vehicle like that, what a madlad. Looks like I can continue using vintage cars once they get outlawed if it ever happens.
you can buy "plug and play" conversions for old vws now, i have been watching for a few years now as i have a similar sized old car, and even a basic electric motor would outperform the 40hp it had new.
in my case i would probably just get a motor and adapt it to the existing gearbox (leave it in top gear as you have all the torque anyway)
i have also been looking at motorbike conversions, i saw a neat one where you just cut the top half of the engine off and connect the motor using the camchain to the crank, and keep all the gears (but mounting the batteries always looks shit)
 
Techmoan just posted a Patreon update regarding his health.

He was recently referred to a hematologist, who sent him in for a full body CT scan over concerns that he may have blood cancer. During this scan, a shadow was detected on his liver, which suggests the possibility of liver cancer.

He'll be going in for more tests over the coming weeks, so if he stops uploading videos for a while or he stops putting out weekly videos, that's why.

Hopefully it's just a cancer scare, and not cancer itself.

I wouldn't normally share a paywalled Patreon video, but it would feel wrong to "trust me bro" this news.

There isn't much about Fran Blanche on the farms. My initial impressions before knowing about the troonery.... The hair. It always looked unnatural, sickly, and thin. Not attractive looking at all. Most woman would know when to switch to a shorter age appropriate hair style when their body can't support healthy looking long hair.

The show and tell level presentation of the videos are bit shallow and lacking in depth. EEVblog and bigclive go deep to theory and schematics, but most look beyond this because this is a "woman" talking electronics and part of the novelty of the channel.

Then in some videos I noticed "she" was going into full blown pity solicitation mode from time to time. Some women do this, but almost all stinkditches do.

After knowing about the troonery, it all made sense. Goes to show that an actual woman having any intermediate or above knowledge in computers or electronics doesn't actually exist in nature. If you find one there is 95% chance "she" had dick and balls at one point.
Immediately thought of this video, at one point they mention the guitar industry being dominated by white men and then they immediately mention two white men (fran and devi ever) as examples of women who made guitar pedals
 
Some dark humor....

Many years ago, the devil approached several retro tech related youtubers and made them an offer. "I will make your channel a success, but in exchange you must agree to allow me to destroy your house in a random natural disaster, or you must eventually cut off your cock and become a troon. Make your choice!"

8bitguy: "House!"
LGR: "House!"
Franlab: "I'm already a troon!"
Technology Connections: "Troon! But you should really be using heat pumps in hell instead of natural gas!"

Techmoan: "I'm very attached to my house and possessions whilst Mrs. Techmoan really likes my cock. Can't we come up with a 3rd option?"

See also: ncommander, a former firefighter and former Ubuntu dev who is also passionate about archival and who does archeology on actually interesting and uncommon stuff. Currently inactive but he'll probably be back sometime.
He's back again a few hours ago with a Minecraft stream. He's moved to Greece maybe to get away from Orange Man but he was looking rough.

Techmoan looks like a cancer patient.
The first video in his series about VHD from 8 years ago:


His Amstrad video from a couple of years ago:


His video about card-shaped FM radios, the first video he made after his recent illness:


The poor bloke looks like he's aged at least 30 years over the last decade.

Techmoan is currently in hospital for a blood transfusion and IV antibiotics. Sounds like he'll be there for the next few days. Patron update:

Currently staying in hospital. Had a blood transfusion and quite a few intravenous antibiotics from drips. Apparently my blood was ‘deranged’. Unbeknownst to me that’s an official medical term as a few different doctors have used it.

Since I’m very slow at typing on an iPhone and it’s also frustrating to do, it’s unlikely I’ll be able to respond to comments/questions for a while.

While all the staff are nice, being trapped in here on a ward of 8 (very mixed ability) people is a thoroughly miserable experience that apparently has quite a few more days to run.

Take care.
 
I get tran blanche mixed up with the guy who does 40s-50s heathkit tube stuff while wearing a sundress. Says he's perfectly secure in his sexuality and not a gay or a tranny or anything, but just "I wear skirts in the workshop because it's my god-given right as a man."

Wish I could find that dude's channel again but he's probably fully trooned by now.
Are you talking about Glasslinger, the schizo old man who makes vacuum tubes?
What an interesting YT channel-avatar...
