Proposing a new prompt for horror stories. "So it all started when I ran an idea by Chatgpt..."

Picked up a taco kit at Meijer yesterday and made it today. It tasted like poison. Checked the box and it’s expired by over a year. What the heck Meijer?

Man I can't wait... to put that iPhone Air in a case.

On the more political side of things: I'm proud to share that I've been officially endorsed by the Cincinnati AFL-CIO Labor Council. If you want to support change for Symmes, consider donating here: secure.actblue.com/donate/josh-...

Hardly a day goes by that someone doesn't let me know they used this video to fix their Vector robot. I consider it one of my most successful videos, not because of how many views it has... but because of how many people it helps. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWmP...

Dear every "YouTube growth expert" spammer ever. We too know how to use the VidIQ extension, which means not only are you offering me absolutely nothing of worth... we can also tell when you fudge the numbers to make them look worse in your screenshot. Signed, every YouTuber. P.S. nobody likes you.

New video! I thought, maybe it's time to show my desk. Because honestly it's pretty epic. At least I think it's epic. Feel free to ask questions about it! Happy to talk about how I made the desktop, or how I'm going to fix warping issues, etc. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEks...

Proud of this endorsement, because yes local elections do matter. If you want to see change in our country that starts from the ground up, would you consider donating to a good cause? secure.actblue.com/donate/josh-...

Latest video is out! This is a product I wanted to like, smart rings really intrigue me. But sometimes ... things just aren't worth the price. No matter how affordable they are. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ax0i...

Hello @pimoroni.com! I have a popular video about the last gen Inky Impression that's been covered in several news outlets (www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kniu...) but obviously those are discontinued in favor of the new models. What's the chances the new models will "just work" ?

Two parades, 14,000 steps (most of them running), six miles, 300 water bottles handed out. This campaign for Symmes Township Trustee is only getting started. Happy Fourth of July everyone!

Ok, I know a lot of you follow me for YouTube or Star Wars, but here’s something new: I’m officially on the ballot for Symmes Township Trustee. The world’s changed, and I couldn’t sit on the sidelines anymore. We can do better. Help me get started: secure.actblue.com/donate/josh-...

New video! This was a blast, as I got to visit Detroit and try out a Mustang Mach-E running the brand new BlueCruise 1.5 software: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYDS...

@arstechnica.com is doing a free trial, brought in part by a sponsor, of its subscription program right now, which includes a minimalist view called Neutron Star. That sounds like a great idea to drum up subscriptions. But... this isn't going to convince me at all. I can't see one single article.

Seeing my @pimoroni.com project covered at XDA, Hackster, and elsewhere is still a really cool moment for my YouTube channel. Pretty happy with it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kniu... I see Pimoroni is working on updated (and bigger!) versions of the display. Maybe I should do a second project.

I still have a Car Thing around, and while I like a lot of projects (shout out to DeskThing), I had a particular need and an unused display seemed like the perfect solution. The need? I wanted to easily monitor my headless Plex Server. Introducing PlexThing! www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbtk...

YouTube Members get a 1-minute Preview for this week's upcoming video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUgA... This is something new I'm experimenting with to provide Members a benefit while not taking anything away from everyone else.

Wasn't sure how I'd feel about one more "notification device" on my body... but the UltraHuman Ring Air surprised me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nm5H...

..oh hey, well then...

I literally clicked the purchase button on a Framework laptop right as the site went down to adjust for Tariffs. Purchase didn't go through, and then the site let me know the new price. I don't blame Framework one bit, this whole thing sucks. But yeesh.

Thanks for the coverage @hacksterio.bsky.social! www.hackster.io/news/e-ink-t...

New video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5znS... I adore this lock. But they're doing something that's illegal in the US (just ask @ifixit.com).I've sadly probably burned this relationship by calling it out so heavily. But it's the right thing to do.

Passed both 5,000 subscribers and 1 Million views recently. Pretty happy with the upward trend.

Couldn't help myself. Pr-ordered myself a Pebble Time .. .... ahem, I mean, a Core Time 2 smart watch. December is so far away.

We don't need live action remakes. But if we're doing Lilo and Stitch, we obviously should get remakes of Stitch invading live action remake trailers. Specifically Stitch should dress as Mushu and invade Mulan. Then she can be all, "he's not even in this version! Get your own movie."

Sitting at 4,998 subscribers. I’m not like… obsessively watching the subscriber count or anything… nope… definitely not refreshing every two minutes to see is it’s gone up two… Nope. Not. At. All.

You know what's amazing about this long throw projector? It works in my home. My home is the worst shape possible for long throw projectors... low ceilings, not an open floor plan, lots of walls. And yet this one works. It's so dang awesome. www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4Ry...

I maintain that the world would be more interesting if we all had soundtracks following us around. Plus it would make getting to know people a lot easier.

This is part 1 of the most ambitious project I’ve ever attempted.

As I work on my latest project, a far more difficult DIY project than I've ever attempted, I'm once again reminded that I really need to buy some more tips for my iFixit soldering iron. And I have to ask, what are you go to tips for soldering? Or do you just uses the default and hope?

“Scientists Develop a Device That Lets You Taste Video Games” Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.

And here's the latest video! This is, by far, the most practical thing that launched at CES I've ever tested. And everyone else who encountered it immediately wanted one, because it just made sense. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCGF...

Can we all agree that life honestly improved the moment we stopped going to Twitter?

Found a couple of these stickers in a new review unit during install. Walp, that's going to be a ding in the review. No. No. No. Bad sticker.

New video up! Much as I love smart homes, this has been bugging me way too much. www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1eX...

Like a lot of people (a LOT of people) I took the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 to the CES. But mine looked vastly different. And honestly, everyone should follow my example. Because for less than $30, I fixed the biggest issue with the Pocket 3, and made it a truly great camera. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnlD...

The Galactic StarCruiser will be turned into office space. And that's just the saddest thing. I get that it was a ridiculous concept at a high price.. but it was also freaking magical. My son launched us to hyperspeed. Hologram Yoda looked into my eyes. Nothing like this will ever exist again.

I really despise the AI summaries under YouTube videos, which will ultimately hurt creators and are often inaccurate.

Going live in a few minutes!

YES. Please and thank you. And thank you to Google for open-sourcing the Pebble Code (at least as much as was possible). repebble.com

Took a bit, but con crud did finally catch up with me. Not as bad as in the past. Thank you vaccinations.

I don't need it, but I can see why you'd want it. ... until you see the price. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdvL...

CES coverage coming to a close... I'm thinking about live streaming tech news in the future. What do y'all think? I used to write tech news for PCMag, Review Geek, How-To Geek, etc... feels in my wheelhouse.

I admit I find it kind of interesting that for community, my fellow journalists tend to create Slack groups. While my fellow YouTubers tend to make Discord groups. It realistically gets you a similar outcome for talking with cohorts. Yet each picked a different "program" to do the same thing.

I've had enough people ask for more extensive help with Vector, the Spotify-eink display, and fixing Ryobi lawnmowers... that I decided to create an Anoraker Discord. Plus we can talk all things Anoraker and tech news. Feel free to join! discord.gg/jEe5Fxy2

When you’re standing next to @linusmediagroup.com playing robot chess and don’t even notice… Dang it. I could have thanked Linus for shouting out my channel months ago.

TCL goes hard at CES.

Delta Keynote in the Sphere is wild.

This is my new favorite fidget device from Lenovo.
