"Hello this is Amish and I have here for you today a guide for setting up this random networking service for a specific linux distro"

Such a classic 😁

Thanks to the Indian guy who showed me how to replace the back of my smartphone. πŸ€—

shoutouts to the Indian guys who post niche programming algorithms tutorials.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

Yeah. Back when I needed help with programming homework, there was always that reliable dude from India.

Luckily they started talking instead of having some Beat-Style music and an Editor Window they type into.

The nostalgia is hitting me

Thank you Ahmad for fixing my obscure Linux error

I accidentally factory reset a VFD, which has hundreds of configurable options, and only by the grace of potato-quality tech youtubers, I was able to find a small handful of configs to make it work again.

Bless you Pradesh and your obscure ebike battery teardown, you are a credit to humanity.

A lovely southern USA gentleman showed me how to rejigger the video cable in my laptop (it had gotten pinched and was flickering intermittently). He also gently chidded the other video showing how to take apart the same laptop for doing it the hard way. The other video was a wonderful descent into cursing.

had to replace the motor on my very old washer, found 1 video filmed but a retired guy and he made his wife hold the camera the whole time.

Sounds like the same guy who taught me how to tear-down and clean my lawnmower's carburetor. Appreciate that man

β€œI want to get into amateur radio, I sure wish there was a video that intuitively explained the fundamental workings of frequency modulation and RF transmission”
Some guy in his basement in Bangladesh with a circuit board and a notepad:

Sometimes not even a accent. There is always that dude who keeps alt tabbing to the text document where he types things out for you.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Bless them.

Random video just like this helped me replace the LEDs on a TV and got it running good as new. Thanks stranger

Sometimes it’s a YouTuber who makes windows movie maker style tutorials using every transition effect they can find

Thank you to the 2 minute video that helped me prove to my boyfriend that tidepods do not belong in the washing machine’s soap container. …. And for informing me that I should have been putting them in first and not on top. πŸ˜…

I find these videos so relaxing, like ASMR

Double bonus, I learn something!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Idk why but I can't really follow YouTube tutorials. Written ones are much much better for me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm sure there will be an AI that converts from video to instructions. For me it's really hard to find the part that I'm having difficulty with. I'm fine with most of it, there's just one step I need clarified

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Every time. Super clutch, as my handiness around the house is pretty much β€œIs there a YouTube video?”, then I’m good.

Started a vegetable garden this year and learned tons. Too bad it’s (yt) ran by a shit company and I have to have an account to show support for content creators outside of like a Patreon or buymeacoffee type thing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I owe my thanks to all the indian tutorials on math and algorythms, that were still better at explaining the problem than my proffesor, even though half of the tutorial was in hindy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Solved networking issues and many more things this way, bless those tiny channels that no one uses!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I always make sure to award those videos if they have it set up

This was me today trying to figure out how to set up a dedicated server for Sons of the Forest. Busted mic man blew threw everything but that 6min tutorial was immensely helpful in helping me install everything before I broke my modem by tweaking the static ipv4 settings πŸ‘

For me, chatgpt replaced them.
