Trying out CoPilot in Visual Studio 2026. at face value it seems smart and easy. At least so far with whatever AI it's using (Haiku 4.5) it can make things but failing at a specific task I'm trying to get it to do by using this open source python module: github.com/linto-ai/whi...

youtube.com/live/qiy2XO7... Most motherboards have at least a few USB headers that can give you additional USB ports, often without any drawbacks. All you need is the correct adapter or extension. In this stream I show a few examples and install them. I also show a PCI-e expansion card. 🖥️🔍

This just arrived! Unboxing stream later today or soon. 🤓 Speciality high-end USB cables and one charger. 🦆⚡🔍 Check out their storefront on Amazon (affiliate link): amzn.to/4tnYxFE

Impersonation is going to more and more of a problem moving forward. It's wild that the creator of the AI Gamers Nexus video said they want to consume fake content that mimics GN, which makes no sense. Probably trying to soften the idea to readers on Reddit. 🔍🤣 www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxXb...

videocardz.com/newz/court-f... Nvidia and likely all of the large tech companies in AI are using copyrighted material. My issue is these companies turning around and trying to profit from AI technology, which should be perpetually open for all of humanity. Like GPL software licensing.

I think it is reasonable for AMD for give people an option of an official top tier binned CPU. 👏👍 It's just kinda funny CPUs these days are basically dynamic overclockers so it's like double overclocking. 😆 www.youtube.com/watch?v=-InE...

youtu.be/DHGsQgEpbQI In this video I talk about and test the Mfish Etank GaN power station. It has four USB-C ports with up to 240 watts of combined output, plus three standard AC power outlets in a heavy duty design that includes RGB lighting. 🟥🟩🟦 #MFISH #USB #PowerStation

youtu.be/KRzZk3BySuU Here's a detailed review of the Kodak Charmera Keychain Camera. It's a tiny functional digital camera with a few special features you might be surprised about, but it doesn't come without a few large downsides. #Kodak #Charmera #YouTube

I just received this 240w power station from Mfish. I'll be doing a live unboxing and eventual full video on it. If you are curious: amzn.to/49eNhDx As an amazon associate, I earn from qualifying purchases! Usually anything within 24 hours of the visit. It doesn't have to be the product linked.

youtu.be/TkDwuuMBSpI I purchased this 24v barrel plug styled AC adapter with the hope that it would work with a Viltrox H18 tube light that has an issue with its existing power supply. Considering I have the adapter on-hand I thought I might as well make a video about it. #YouTube #Electronics

Microsoft is trying to force online accounts after some Windows updates now. I was able to exit the screen by CTRL-ALT-DEL, signing out and then signing back in. After that they hid disabling these "features" in the notification settings. (hopefully it stops) #Microsoft #Windows11 #AntiConsumer

Examples of general human insanity and extreme actions taken by groups of us against each other. One is doing 2 level remote access and other is monitoring input lag. 🙃 All of it is technically smart and clever, but sad at the same time. www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...

For MSI x670e Gaming Plus WIFI motherboard users, I had USB over-current automatic reset issues between BIOS version 7E16v1B2 and 7E16v1C5. 7E16v1A was fine, so I've been running that. The obvious issue is those beta BIOS had important AGESA updates. www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1Mx...

What happens when you don't look at the setup guide in detail? You connect both ports on both adapters and DDOS your router even shutting down wifi. Then spend an hour+ trying different cables, plugs, and other troubleshooting. 😮‍💨🤣👏 The adapter to the switch/router should only have one cable. #tplink

I attended the Vintage Computer Festival Midwest 2025 in Schaumburg Illinois. An event filled with classic computers, retro gaming, and general nostalgia for technology! My main focus was photography, but made this video from GoPro footage for the TECH channel. youtu.be/bpdK71sCz6I #VCFMidwest

youtu.be/NFAvn8hBEvg Pano-Mounts sent me a revised version of their PPTM7950 phase change thermal pads in the 40x40mm size. It happened out of the blue, but it seemed worth trying out the new material to see how they changed the design! #PhaseChange #Computers #PCBuild #CPU #Heatsink

youtu.be/X6dGz6hevtQ In this video I try out a simple 1080p USB webcam with Open Broadcasting Software (OBS) to see how it works as a potential replacement for my top-down camera that can only do autoexposure. Is this a better option, or should I stick with the C-mount UVC camera? #JLAB #webcam

youtu.be/77aez8fP-s8 I have a bunch of these fire resistant bags to store the multitude of camera batteries, old laptop batteries, and other devices with non-replaceable batteries as an added precaution. How much of a benefit is there? I hope I never have to know first hand! haha. #YouTube #tech

youtu.be/COSB6IRV3pE I bought this 2-pack of 1-foot Devinal 1/4" to 3.5mm female headphone extension cable TRS adapters because I was tired of the widely available, yet finicky, short adapters I use with a USB Motu M2 audio interface. #YouTube #AudioAccessories

youtu.be/fVVDueGKN6M With how expensive computers can be, it's fun trying to repurpose lower cost used equipment or whatever you have on-hand. In this case I've been taking out the battery of old laptops I have so they are safer to use long term when attached to AC power. Let's explore the idea!
